Because I saw a few posts discussing his trades, vs none for anyone else’s, which in turn is presumably because he moved the market by ten percentage points or so. I’m not arguing that this “should” make him so salient, but given that he was salient I stand by my sense of failure.
Mmh, if there is no reason to take that particular trader seriously, but just the mere fact that his trades were salient, I don’t see why one should experience any sense of failure whatsoever for not having paid more attention to him at the time.
Still, my main point was about the reasons for taking that particular trader seriously, not the sense of failure for not having done so, and it seems like there is no substantive disagreement there.
