Victor Niederhoffer - Returns

Returns

Niederhoffer Investments returned 35% a year from inception through 1996, when MAR ranked it the No. 1 hedge fund manager in the world. In 1997, Victor published a New York Times bestselling book, The Education of a Speculator.

In statistical terms, I figure I have traded about 2 million contracts, with an average profit of $70 per contract (after slippage of perhaps $20). This average is approximately 700 standard deviations away from randomness.

Famous quotes containing the word returns:

    Any man today who returns from work, sinks into a chair, and calls for his pipe is a man with an appetite for danger.
    Bill Cosby (20th century)

    Awakening in the morning returns us to life, and to awareness of death.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    A man’s labour is not only his capital but his life. When it passes it returns never more. To utilise it, to prevent its wasteful squandering, to enable the poor man to bank it up for use hereafter, this surely is one of the most urgent tasks before civilisation.
    William Booth (1829–1912)
