I should be famous, if not for my trading, at least for my jokes.

I taught Ed Thorp everything he knows, except sex. Dunno who that Thorpe guy is.

 

Would you recommend any of his books?

Blair Hull, by the way there are tons of option traders with a large net worth, north of 10 million who fly under the radar screen. There were 2 locals when I worked down there that had at least 30 million in their trading accounts, the interesting part was most of these guys were self made. Its all relative really, most of the great traders like Seykota or Tudor Jones could walk by you in the street and you wouldn't know it. These days if you have 10 million plus you are not too worried about what others think. Perhaps a better question would be who are the greatest option teachers and why?

 

HoCoLoCo is one of the great option teachers. Knowing what not to do is very important.
