Title: Go broke the scientific way
Review: The scientific method seems to be main message of the book. If you can't quantify it don't trade it. At least that's the theory. In reality the book gives us a tour of every wrinkle in Victor Niederhoffer's bellybutton. His childhood in Brighton Beach, his misfortunes at playing squash and at Harvard, his would be academic career, how he got Soros to mistrust him, and finally his own hedge fund before it went belly-up the scientific way. All stories seem to have the same message: VN is the greatest person in the universe (second only to his dad) and were it not for other people's stupidity (the meme!) he'd be on top of the world. Give me a break.
