The Education of a Speculator by
Victor Niederhoffer
Education
What you typically hear about Victor Niederhoffer is that he trades for the
great Soros, that he doesnt wear shoes in his office, that the only
newspaper he reads is the National Enquirer, and that a picture of the
Titanic hangs in his office. Thats all true. But its the logic behind the
eccentricities that is the real story. The Education of a Speculator is a
sojourn inside the one-of-a-kind mind of Victor Niederhoffer, a trader in
commodities and a keen observer of life. He has trained himself to look at
the world in a singular fashion: where the guy on the street sees
opportunity, Niederhoffer has scoped out all the downsides and done the
contrarian thinking necessary to turn a profit. Niederhoffer draws material
from disciplines as varied as biology, music, cards, and sports. His book,
written with humor and verve, offers readers a chance to see the world
through his lenses. The result is a genuinely new perspective on life
(unless you too happened to grow up a speculator). This is a terrific,
rewarding book.

Personal Review: The Education of a Speculator by Victor
Niederhoffer
In many ways this book is a work of art. It is not obvious, nor conforming.
It is not conventional and it has an aesthetic that is probably be st
appreciated or more accessible by people with a similar background. Like
the markets, there is no roadmap. The title says it and most readers don't
get it. It is a personal story: The Education of a Speculator. It is not about
anything in particular--It is a book about nothing! And yet full of
indispensable and enduring truths about human relationship with risk.
It is a must read. I hope you get it.
