There
is a strong contrast in this issue.
On one hand, we have interviews with the top two advisors
we track in 1998. On the other hand, we have the story
of the total collapse of famed trader Victor Niederhoffer.
We are changing our usual format for this issue. In
years past, we would ask each advisor we track their
outlook on the coming year and what they learned from
the previous year. We found it a bit repetitive so
we decided to simply interview the best advisors from
the previous year.
Interview
with last year's best tracked advisor, Bill Gary!
Many of you enjoyed the 1996 interview with Bill Gary
posted on this site. Now you can find out why he was
so successful in 1998 in this exciting interview!
He came through with a strong 119% gain with only
about a $6000 drawdown.
Interview
with last year's second best tracked advisor, Dennis
Minogue! Dennis Minogue has had exceptional returns
on reasonable margin for the last three years that
we have tracked his performance. In 1996, his return
was 68% and in 1997 it was an impressive 132%. Last
year he posted a solid 104%! Find out why this trader
has had such a phenomenal run!
