    Annals of Finance: The Blow-Up Artist: Reporting & Essays: The New ... http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/10/15/071015fa_fact_cassid... ANNALS OF FINANCE THE BLOW-UP ARTIST Can Victor Niederhoffer survive another market crisis? by John Cassidy OCTOBER 15, 2007 n a wall Niederhoffer’s approach is eclectic. His funds, a friend says, appeal “to people like him: self-made people who have a maverick streak.” O opposite Victor Niederhoffer’s desk is a large painting of the Essex, a Nantucket whaling ship that sank in the South Pacific in 1820, after being attacked by a giant sperm whale, and that later served as the inspiration for “Moby-Dick.” The Essex’s captain, George Pollard, Jr., survived, and persuaded his financial backers to give him another ship, but he sailed it for little more than a year before it foundered on a coral reef. Pollard was ruined, and he ended his days as a night watchman. The painting, which Niederhoffer, a sixty-three-year-old hedge-fund manager, acquired after losing all his clients’ money—and a good deal of his own—in the Thai stock market crash of 1997, serves as an admonition against the incaution to which he, a notorious risktaker, is prone, and as a reminder of the precariousness of his success. Niederhoffer has been a professional investor for nearly three decades, during which he has made and lost several fortunes—typically by relying on methods that other traders consider reckless or unorthodox or both. In the nineteen-seventies, he wrote one of the first software programs to identify profitable trades.

  • Squash Program
    Youth Squash Program What is Squash? According to an article published in Men’s Fitness Magazine: You'll need a racquet, an opponent, a ball, and an enclosed court—most colleges and large gyms have them. Alternate hitting the ball off the front wall until someone loses the point. This happens when you allow the ball to bounce twice, or when you whack it out of bounds—below the 19-inch strip of metal (the "tin") along the bottom of the front wall, or above the red line around the top of the court. First one to 11 points wins the game; best of three or five wins the match. It may sound simple, but Squash is a challenging and rewarding game. And no one in South Jersey does it better than Greate Bay Racquet and Fitness. Why should you choose Greate Bay Racquet and Fitness Squash program?

Bulls and Bears are drawn and quartered alike by the authors’ exquisitely honed quantitative scalpel.” Stephen M. Stigler Professor of Statistics University of Chicago “In my judgment, Victor Niederhoffer is the single most insightful speculator in the world. This new book displays Victor’s unique gift for recognizing the subtle confluence of seemingly disparate events. Although this book is par- tially a guide on investment strategy, it is principally a remarkable explanation of market function.” Herbert London John M. Olin Professor of Humanities, New York University President, Hudson Institute “Whatever Victor Niederhoffer writes is worth reading—not once but at least twice. His analysis of markets is as brilliant as it is unorthodox. Readers will discover a host of nuggets in Practical Speculation that will stretch their minds and tease their imaginations.” Lawrence S. Ritter John M. Schiff Professor of Finance Emeritus New York University “Victor Niederhoffer outdoes himself beginning with the first paragraph of the introduction. Victor and Laurel uniquely see the interrelationships and de- pendencies among the complex factors that are daily life and are able to inter- pret observations in terms of how people will react to the sequences of events.

  • Taleb Turned the Inevitability of Disaster Into an Investment Strategy
    April 22 & 29, 2002 DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE Blowing Up How Nassim Taleb turned the inevitability of disaster into an investment strategy One day in 1996, a Wall Street trader named Nassim Nicholas Taleb went to see Victor Niederhoffer. Victor Niederhoffer was one of the most successful money managers in the country. He lived and worked out of a thirteen-acre compound in Fairfield County, Connecticut, and when Taleb drove up that day from his home in Larchmont he had to give his name at the gate, and then make his way down a long, curving driveway. Niederhoffer had a squash court and a tennis court and a swimming pool and a colossal, faux-alpine mansion in which virtually every square inch of space was covered with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American folk art. In those days, he played tennis regularly with the billionaire financier George Soros. He had just written a best-selling book, "The Education of a Speculator," dedicated to his father, Artie Niederhoffer, a police officer from Coney Island. He had a huge and eclectic library and a seemingly insatiable desire for knowledge. When Niederhoffer went to Harvard as an undergraduate, he showed up for the very first squash practice and announced that he would someday be the best in that sport; and, sure enough, he soon beat the legendary Shariff Khan to win the U.S. Open squash championship. That was the kind of man Niederhoffer was. He had heard of Taleb's growing reputation in the esoteric field of options trading, and summoned him to Connecticut.

  • How to Lose Money in Derivatives: Examples from Hedge Funds and Bank Trading Departments Sebastien Lleo William T
    How to Lose Money in Derivatives: Examples From Hedge Funds and Bank Trading Departments Sebastien Lleo William T. Ziemba SRC Special Paper No 2 May 2014 ISSN 2055-0375 Abstract What makes futures hedge funds fail? The common ingredient is over betting and not being diversified in some bad scenarios that can lead to disaster. Once troubles arise, it is difficult to take the necessary actions that eliminate the problem. Moreover, many hedge fund operators tend not to make decisions to minimize losses but rather tend to bet more doubling up hoping to exit the problem with a profit. Incentives, including large fees on gains and minimal penalties for losses, push managers into such risky and reckless behavior. We discuss some specific ways losses occur. To illustrate, we discuss the specific cases of Long Term Capital Management, Niederhoffer’s hedge fund, Amaranth and Société Genéralé. In some cases, the failures lead to contagion in other hedge funds and financial institutions. We also list other hedge fund and bank trading failures with brief comments on them.

SECURITIES LITIGATION : : : -------------------------------------------------------------- x DECLARATION OF JOHN P. COFFEY IN FURTHER SUPPORT OF LEAD PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR A LIMITED MODIFICATION OF THE PSLRA STAY OF DISCOVERY John P. Coffey hereby declares under penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746 that the following is true and correct: 1. I am a partner at Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP, co-counsel for Lead Plaintiffs and the prospective Class. I make this declaration in further support of Lead Plaintiffs’ motion for a limited modification of the PSLRA stay of discovery (the “Motion”). Limited Modification to the Scope of Relief Requested 2. Shortly after Lead Plaintiffs filed their opening papers in support of the Motion, I received a telephone call from Assistant United States Attorney David Esseks, one of the prosecutors handling the criminal probe of the Refco matter. Mr. Esseks told me that he had reviewed our Motion and that the Government had one concern with the relief sought by Lead Plaintiffs. Specifically, he asked that Lead Plaintiffs narrow the requested relief to exclude, at this time, the production of any witness interview memoranda prepared by Latham & Watkins LLP, the law firm retained by Refco’s audit committee to conduct an internal investigation into certain matters at Refco. I informed Mr. Esseks that Lead Plaintiffs would accede to that request and promptly informed all counsel of record in this litigation of that agreement. See Exhibit A 1 hereto. With that agreed modification in place, I understand that the Government has no objection to the balance of the relief Lead Plaintiffs seek in the Motion.

    Trader Daily § The Online Home of Trader Monthly Magazine http://www.traderdaily.com/news/item/1524.html TRADER DAILY Niederhoffer: Don't Blame Me for Refco Mess Victor Niederhoffer denies that his 1997 dealings with Refco started the fire that has burned it to the ground Issue: October 2005 In the midst of Refco's stunningly rapid descent into chaos, rumors recently began circulating that traced the entire debacle back to losses sustained by the commodities broker in connection with the October 1997 blowup of Victor Niederhoffer's fund. Niederhoffer's roughly $100 million fund did blow up, and Refco was his clearing broker. But Niederhoffer and his web site moved assertively to squash the scuttlebutt: "The rumors concerning me seem to have been a case of the wish is father to the thought." However, speculation remains that when Refco -- specifically the now-disgraced former CEO Phil Bennett, then CFO -- folded Niederhoffer's positions, he did so selectively, liquidating S&P 500 puts but holding long Asian currency positions in a fictitious client account hoping to ride them out of the hole. If this were true, legal implications aside, this would have flown in the face of Refco's business model: the firm did not trade its own book, instead preaching a client order-driven, "matched book" riskless model. When those Asian currency positions went further south during the 1998 emerging markets crisis that blew up Long Term Capital Management, losses compounded. CEO Bennett, the theory goes, creatively arranged for these losses to be switched from the customer account side of the house into receivables, and the rest is history.

  • A Review of Literature on How Professional Speculators View Their Role in Financial Markets and the Capital Formation Process
    6 JOURNAL FOR ECONOMIC EDUCATORS • Volume 4 • Number 4 • Fall 2004 A REVIEW OF LITERATURE ON HOW PROFESSIONAL SPECULATORS VIEW THEIR ROLE IN FINANCIAL MARKETS AND THE CAPITAL FORMATION PROCESS By Ronald P. Volpe and Lisa L. Dickson* Abstract This paper examines how professional speculators view their role in financial markets and the capital formation process. Though they are often vilified by the public and media as greedy parasites wreaking havoc on financial markets and economies, an examination of their views reveals they perceive their endeavors as more noble. They view themselves as an essential element in the capital formation process by providing liquidity and efficiency to financial markets. Through the art of balancing supply and demand, they regulate financial asset prices, keep financial markets efficient, and facilitate the process of capital formation and economic growth. Periodically, professional speculators experience large financial losses when complex highly leveraged trades do not turn out as planned. Professional speculators, who claim to be regulators of fair pricing, have a responsibility to monitor their actions and to be extra vigilant not to cause irreparable financial damage to themselves and other members of society. (JEL G20) Introduction For centuries the speculator has been associated with the misfortunes of countless markets and blamed for the financial ills of many due to the huge profits the speculator enjoys. In Gregory Millman’s book The Vandal’s Crown (1995), speculators are accused of currency manipulation and the destruction of the economies of many countries. Investors accuse speculators of being reckless gamblers that are the cause of their misfortune when investments go bad.

    Blo o m b e r g M a r ke t s 48 M o nt h 2 0 0 6 The Re-education of Victor Niederhoffer PHOTOGRAPHS BY BRAD TRENT B l o o m b e r g M a r ke t s J u ly 2 0 0 6 49 A hedge fund star of the 1980s and ’90s, Victor Niederhoffer lost his firm and fortune almost overnight. This is the story of his long journey back. By Deepak Gopinath ‚One evening in April, Victor Niederhoffer went to a party at the St. Regis Hotel in New York. Niederhoffer, 62, used to be one of the most-promi- nent hedge fund managers in the U.S. He made a fortune during the 1980s and ’90s, trading out of his New York of- fice and chalet-style mansion in Weston, Connecticut. Then Niederhoffer lost it all—his $130 million fund and most of his own savings—when his bets on the markets went wrong. Niederhoffer’s life collapsed beneath him. He closed his firm. He mortgaged his house and sold his cherished col- lection of antique silver. Among those treasures was a 5- foot (1.5-meter) horn of plenty that had once belonged to King Charles XV of Sweden. Niederhoffer says he became so depressed that his family feared he might kill himself.
