I have a different take on it......It's a sobering reminder that just because 
someone publishes, get accolades...etc.....doesn't mean diddly to me.
Sure I may learn something from them, but to hold them up as trading gurus
is foolish.

Point 2 for some of you that sell options naked(or is that naked 
options???).....I learned the hard way, but ALWAYS have a buy/sell stp in the 
futures market that will offset your option position in case of 
melt-ups/downs......getting out of  short options the wrong way can be a tough 
experience......Imagine some of you web-traders trying to get through on 
Monday to cover short option trades.....ouch........

Point3...next time the "wealth without worry" guru calls on you about what a 
breeze selling options is....remember Mr. Neiderhoffer.

Point 4- The market is always correct...I'm not......
