Nah More like ......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROprP41yB_E Either way he is a wanker for losing so much money. He'll be 70 by the time he makes his next comeback lol
Here is an interesting 2006 article from Bloomberg, ironically titled "The Re-education of Victor." http://www.dailyspeculations.com/vic/REEDUCATION.pdf
The point of me starting the Vic threads was twofold. To show Marketsurfer that he's a tool and to show Elite Trader that most hedge fund operators are frauds. As a 27 year veteran of this industry I hear stuff all the time. I knew Amaranth's positions weeks before the story blew. I don't enjoy taking potshots. Judge not lest you be judged. I too have made and lost bundles. I'm humbled. What I don't do is what Surfer/Vic do. That is criticize those who are better than me. Here's a sample of Marketsurfer (and his various aliases) insanity. All done BTW so he could impress Vic. Seems like latent homo shit if you ask me. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41040& http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=46620& http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=95530&
It's kind of comical how Surf rips a guy like JWH who, while he has had a very rough streak, has controls in to protect himself from imploding...and idolizes a guy like VN who has blown up not once...but twice......the most amazing part is VN basically blew up this time in a very similar fashion as last time.....ya think he woulda made some changes...
