Shout out to oilprivateer, who commented on the post concerning a different kind of proprietary trading group. His point was that Victor Niederhoffer's Daily Speculations site has been serving as an exchange of intellectual capital over many years. I could not agree more. In 2000, a visit to Victor's office served as the inspiration for my becoming much more empirical in my approach to trading, emphasizing the testing of trading ideas. Over the years, I have observed countless examples of his mentorship with developing young speculators.
Here's a good example of a meal for a lifetime from Daily Spec;
James Altucher, on what he learned from Victor;
Education of a Speculator, a book that I've found has influenced many successful traders;
Thoughts from Victor on being wrong;
