Re: The Education of a Speculator by Victor Niederhoffer
"You will either love this book or hate it"
that pretty much sums it up but i would first recommend Practical Speculation over this book. I think if you get anything from that book the probability you will like this book increases exponentially. If you have any bent towards value investing the thing to watch is this book on amazon used, i got a hard copy from a library for 99 cents  . I love Niederhoffer and dailyspeculations so i cant rate this book without bias, hes my original hero. soultrader do you have any knowledge of how Vic actually trades? I assume he stat arbs options? that i soppose is the best thing about Vic's books, nothing could be farther from "how to make money" as he basically tells you nothing in that area. |

Re: The Education of a Speculator by Victor Niederhoffer
considering neiderhoffer blew out his own account (as well as others) selling index puts and trading asia, and IGNORING risk, i have little respect for him. it's not that i love or hate the book, it's just that i believe that he outs himself as a pompous know-it-all who doesn't practice sound risk management, which is a primary rule of trading.

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. |
