Yes, but he went for it anyway. Lost it, and committed suicide. Kids had nothing but wife took a garbage bag filled with cash and ran off.
vishnu, You mean Lancer? I heard a lot of posh people got their heads handed to them. Britney Spears is reported among the investors. Byron, is doing a great job of covering the story, as usual. Okumus? I have my doubts about that guy. He's just a kid. But then again Sir John trusts him. Mike Weinstein? Last I heard is he is in semi-retirement and writting an inst. newsletter. Which right now is calling for a cyclical bull mkt to power the mkt much higher. Like a lot of people on this thread have said, reading all the replies makes me want to dust the books off for another reading.
Yeah, Bill. Amazing guy! He had $3 billion short USD when Gorbachoff made a speech - the market started climbing quite a number of points. Anyway... *yawn* is this thread gunna be moved to chit chat too? Sam
He's broke??? Well, not exactly, he owns a office building (not space... building) in Chicago's Financial District. But yes, I have heard he lost quite an amount with IT Bubble Burst. It's all 2nd hand info anyways.
paul tudor jones, richard dennis..and william eckhart ...of course... funny nobody mention the first two.. contrary to many others, I didn't like the seykota interview for some reason, come off as really cocky to me.. and all that psychological musings aren't going to help YOUR trading anyway, very subjective and open to interpretation. voodoo stuff if u ask me. I think echkart's insights on the trading psychology is much more concrete.
I like the following 6) Ed Seykota 7) Larry Hite 20) William Eckhardt 21) Monroe Trout 25) Victor Sperando 27) Linda Bradford Raschke and also Mark Cook and SAC in the SMW. 9) William O'Neil He is one of my least favorite. He gives me an impression that we should only buy stocks. Short sell or derivatives are not good nor ethical. Just like Peter Lynch.
