Breaking news: Niederhoffer still in business after market correction!

Discussion in 'Politics' started by just21, Jun 1, 2006.

  1. IMHO, empiricism doesn't equate to a marketposition, i.e. long or short gamma, it is the way one looks at things and draws conclusions.

    One can be long gamma and an empiricist. Vic chose the road of short gamma for pseudo-low vol and pseudo-alpha.

    90% of the crowds out there don't even know how to approach a
    problem, let alone solve it. Empiricism allows one to approach these problems in a way that can be measured and analyzed. From that point on each empiricist will draw his/her own conclusion, based on the logic behind the empiricism.

  3. Oh, and as long as we're playing vocabulary challenge, I don't think you actually understand the meaning of empiricism either.

    Really, why do you repeatedly do this? Why?

  5. fwiw, Vic went on record looking for a RALLY today, Monday.

    That's why is smart to never actually predict anything.


    Hey Vic, you know that, lol.

    Good luck.

  10. Check the website, he even removed the article when the rally failed to materialize. Simply trying to tweak his record, clasical !!! Talk about survivorship bias, statistics & lies. LOL
