What does this sentence in German mean?
Später erregte er unter anderem durch seine Kritik an den neuen Märkten für Aufsehen – eine Haltung, durch die Stifel Nicolaus nach dem Platzen der New Economy Blase ein Vermögen machte. Das machte sich für McCrory auch privat bezahlt, der, wie er sagt, „ausgesorgt hat“.
I cannot understand the meaning of "für Aufsehen" and "eine Haltung" here. What does he erregte in this context? Is it "eine Haltung"? Besides, does "für Aufsehen" mean "so that others may take care"? If so, it is really weird.
And I am very grateful if you can in addition show me a translation in English.

(großes)Aufsehen erregen = to arrouse a sensation
Seine Haltung = his (attitude/) view
Later on he arroused a sensation at new markets due to his critizism amongst others - a view on the topic by which Stifel Nicolas earned a fortune after the New Economy Blase fell through. That also was a private gain for McCrory, who is said up for life now as he himself said.
This translation is not perfect but hopefully gives you the right idea.
