He shorts otm index puts. There is nothing special nor magical about it. The difference between Vic and Karen the vol-seller is that she has made money at it. Pretty pathetic considering the clash in background.
I am sorry but that makes no difference when a person makes themselves a public figure. He has a self promotional book and done interviews. When surf comes here and claims VN's one of the best traders or speculators ever, What do you want people who take words seriously to do.

Maybe surf should cut out the hype.
