<br>Dear Sirs:
<p>Well, to hear those in the know down at the S&amp;P options pit at the
CME, Niederhoffer continued to sell put options as the market was plummeting
that very day back in 1997... now that's risk management ... I wonder if
that strategy was picked up during his days at Harvard and the University
of Chicago - "get a hunch, bet a bunch."
<p>If you've read his book, and (from what I've heard) if you've ever met
the guy, you'd realize he is the most self-involved, stuck-up a**hole you'll
run across.&nbsp; This final act in the Niederhoffer saga is in good form.
<p>Good riddance.
