Looks like Victor Niederhoffer blew up again

Are you now suggesting that the owner of that boat has any connection to Octane Holdings?

 

I'm not suggesting anything--- just making a point that chartered boats are generally not owned by charter companies as you implied.

 

Ok, so why did you post the pic of the boat?

 

Reading this post was associated with her theme song .... the little old lady from pasadena .....LOL

 

It was coincidental that I took that picture and ran across the boat around the same time as VN's implosion. I am unaware who the owner actually is---do you know for certain that it isn't OH's boat?

 

Interesting article. What would be very interesting to me would be an overlay of HFT trading percentage (average order size, average hold time) versus the profitability of large hedge funds. So many people have stated that there is no effect on large sophisticated Hedge Funds. As average order trade size decreased, hold time decreased, large orders got whacked with much larger fees relatively speaking. No wonder GS is on the war path.

"forensic journalism" message board style, huh?

 

And absolutely nothing to do with managed futures.

 

No idea. I didn't post the pic of the boat, you did. All that we have established is that the likelihood of you suffering from some neurological condition has increased manifold.

Or maybe this boat belongs to Octane Holdings? http://atlanticyachtandship.com/yachts/208221-48-buddy-davis-octane.html

 

Was he shorting indexes since 2010 to get that poor of performance ?
