He was already rich, if the article is correct, operating off a capital base of 150 million. Which makes a 275 million notional short position on the Nikkei a pretty big bet, but not outrageous compared to some futures traders. Nice timing though. |

2008 when the market crashed was a good time as well....
I remember my friend bought Ford for a discount rate of a buck and a half per share at the time. |
