Re: The Education of a Speculator by Victor Niederhoffer

dalby, "You will either love this book or hate it."

To me Niederhoffer is a genious, you can gain from this book if you see that his weakness is that he speculates like hes playing squash. he wants to win and beat everyone no matter what. I want my equity curve to be nice and smooth but i'm under no delusion ill ever be as rich as Vic. If i had his brain i would do the same thing, but since i don't you can still learn from him as long as you see what his downside is.
