I heard he used to go to the beach, trade his account by calling the office, asking where things were, losing 2 million by the afternoon, adding to the position, and then ending up plus $4M by the end of the same day.

nitro :eek:

I have heard those stories.

Somewhere in the middle probably lies reality ...

I do not believe that, as he went to school at Loyola University for a while before becoming a trader.
