some of the Market Wizards are taking hits.

Great! Maybe he'd like to refund my $100k that he pissed away.

 

For some reason I do not think that is going to happen, but I will pass the message along for you.

 

Thanx!

Here's another message you can pass on:

Vic Niederhoffer is a friend of mine, and he wasn't very pleased with how Dennis's boys are hypocritically slamming him lately.

They have the nerve to rag on Vic for blowing out ONCE?!
Dennis wishes he just blew out once.

 

Yes, he does have a tendency to do that.

Where are you from?

 

Just down the road from yourself.

I work at Schonfeld in Chicago (Right next to the Merc.)

 

Is Schonfeld in the same building as Terra Nova?

 

I don't think we are- We're in the AT&T building (Wells/Monroe.)

 

I am a suburban boy, I just know how to drive there. TNI is in the building directly south of the CME, as in across the street.

 

Was that guy I was arguing with about Schonfeld typical of their traders; i.e. averaging less than $50K over three years?

 

Since last year, that's actually better than average.

Our methods have been rendered obsolete, and the lack of mutual fund buying & 'dumb money' has made the market far less predictable over the past year & a half.

If I'm not mistaken, last year equity mutual fund inflows were ONE TENTH of what they were in 2000. this makes the intraday & overnight patterns far less predictable. Lean times.
