Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
What you typically hear about Victor Niederhoffer is that he trades for "the great Soros," that he doesn't 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.
That's all true. But it's 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. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
From Booklist
Niederhoffer is a successful commodities trader who has worked for George Soros and who was one of the authors of a widely noted National Review article that held up Hillary Clinton's unusual success in trading cattle futures to unfavorable scrutiny. Niederhoffer has earned his money by following a philosophy of avoiding the herd, yet here he follows a recent trend that has financiers and investment wizards penning autobiographies and memoirs. These books are popular with those hoping to discover some mysterious secret for investment success, and Niederhoffer will attract similar readers, but his book is also fascinating entertainment. He begins with a nostalgic look at his Brighton Beach beginnings and cheerfully rambles to the present, making connections all the way between everyday events and the world of finance. To Niederhoffer, even a game of checkers, discovering sex, or learning to play music can be instructive when it comes to investing. David Rouse

There are some interesting Ideas in this book. I particularly liked the section on handycapping horse racing and the section on "market ecology". I found his discussion on transaction costs and watching the spread (the dangers of Flipping cheap Nasdaq stocks etc) very useful as well.
Other than that, The book is very long winded. I appreciate his love for his father etc., but the fact is it is information the reader does not get much out of. Most of us do or have had a father that we care for. He also paints a very bleak picture for would be traders. Well, how many things in life that are worthwhile in life are easily achievable? Most new businesses fail. In trading, most people do not even take their trading seriously enough to consider it a business. Is it surprising most people fail miserably? The fact is in trading where there is a strong enough will to do what it takes to succeed, there is usually a way. It does not take a genius to succeed in this business, regardless of how much Niederhoffer would like you to believe that it does. So, if you are looking for an autobiography about an interesting person in the trading business, get this book. This book does contain useful trading ideas, but it is NOT a book of trading strategies, etc.

If you are looking for great insight or help on trading or
investing, you won't find it in The Education of Speculator.
It is an entertaining book, but definitely not educational.
Victor Niederhoffer provides his history plus the history of
his family interwoven with a few bits of market strategy
and techniques. If you enjoy reading about what life experiences compels a man to speculate in the markets, read
his book. If you want to learn to speculate, don't with
his book.

As with most investment books - everyone is looking for the quick advice; buy when....sell when.....and of course, here's my golden rules of trading.....you get the picture (of course, those who hated this book didn't!) Has anyone seen an original trading book recently? Day trading book? Don't they all look the same? The same mindless technical analysis? (not to say technical analysis is mindless - just most technicians are!) Victor has written an original book - but just like trading, you GOTTA WANT IT! You've got to read this book 4-5 times. It's not going to tell you any secret strategy, and Niedorhoffer tells you this right up front! Just like the markets - few are going to like this book (those who succeed in speculation, and most won't (those who fail in speculation) This book will make you think - think about your OWN approach to investing, trading, and speculation. It will force you to not follow the "how to" guru approach. But you really got to "want" this book!
