Day trading has always been fine, it was when I got away from it and tried to invest, thats when the trouble began. Trust me, my trading strategy is not the typical BS and I'm not your typical teacher.
Oh, we do. We trust you to do what you said you were doing. That is, taking money from suckers. Like I said, if they give you their money, they deserve to lose it. Once again, please note. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. You tried to do. You couldn't. Now you're making a buck teaching. You're not the first, nor will you be the last. What's sickening is the lies you tell while doing it, like lying about your multiple aliases. That one was very weird since it's common knowledge that you post under many different user names. Just do your thing and try to keep your head down - it's better for your karma.
How can you be sure I'm telling lies when you haven't read my book, watched my DVD, seen what I've seen? Exactly, you can't. So don't lump me in with all the other BS-artists of years past--I named my publishing company BullShip Press to cut the through the BS, not add to it you moron! I wonder how long it will take before it sinks in. Your assumptions, like most of the others here are sickening and I realize I have a lot of work to do to change this industry for the better.
Quote from TimothySykes: How can you be sure I'm telling lies when you haven't read my book, watched my DVD, seen what I've seen? Exactly, you can't. So don't lump me in with all the other BS-artists of years past--I named my publishing company BullShip Press to cut the through the BS, not add to it you moron! Because the content of your message makes it relatively clear that little you say rings true. Your interest is in self-promotion and $$$, almost exclusively. Everything you say to the contrary can be judged by the reactions you are continuously getting. I wonder how long it will take before it sinks in. Well, we are failing to get through to you, so density seems to originate within yourself. Your assumptions, like most of the others here are sickening and I realize I have a lot of work to do to change this industry for the better. You can start by losing the huckster approach and continuing to fill these threads with fertilizer that you yourself must doubt.
Well, some of your lies are obvious (like using multiple usernames and then denying it). Once you've told a few small lies, everything else you say comes into question. But basically it's like this: if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... it's probably a duck. You waddle more clearly than most. In fact you're not even that good at this. I've seen better on here. You have that whole self-righteous thing going on which gives you away a bit quicker than the rest. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. You tried to do, and couldn't. Now you're trying to make a buck teaching. You're not the first, nor will you be the last. There's no shame in it, Tim. Try keeping your head down and collecting 'customers'. It's better for your karma. Spare us the righteous indignation.
I don't have multiple names! You people think anybody who says they like my book/story is me and you're just wrong. not to mention my calls posted here (the latest being to short PRXI when it broke $14) have been dead on again and I'm up nearly 50 cents on that position. Please don't try to tell me there's no shares available either--if you can't find shares, you're not a trader Here's my latest Amazon review, from somebody I've never met, never talked to and he's given plenty of other reviews (he's the ranked #1036 top ranked reviewer on Amazon) <b> 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Modern day Nicolas Darvas, October 16, 2007 By Steve Burns "Life long learner" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews I had very high expectations for this book due to its link on the cover to my two all time favorite stock trading books. I was not disappointed. This book really got me excited about stock trading all over again. Nicolas Darvas is my stock trading hero because he turned a few thousand dollars into $2.5 million in a few years learning from scratch. I actually believe that the author Timothy Sykes may have out done even this legend. Timothy started trading stocks in high school in 1999 he doubled his first $12,000 very quickly playing the smaller internet microcaps that had positive press releases. He grew his initial investment to $37,000, and went off for his freshmen year of college. By December of his freshmen year his account had grown to $120,000. He was now trading huge positions in OTC/BB stocks making $2,000-$3,000 a day on average. Timothy had a talent for technical trading, understanding patterns and the behavior of other traders. (He also was unaware that some of the trades he participated in may have been pump and dumps, boiler room operations, this reminds me of the insider trading Darvas sometimes stumbled into with out knowing it based on a stocks technicals). By his sophmore year he had a $500,000 trading account and transferred to another college. Timothy was there to seize the opportunity presented by the raging bull market of the 1999-2000, but by the fall of 2000 with his old system of trading not working, what did he do? Reminiscent of Jesse Livermore he began to trade short. Which finally lead to him becoming a millionaire after taxes before his 22nd birthday! Who can criticize this real life performance? Even though adjusted for inflation Darvas made more money in his final 18 months,and Jesse Livermore also achieved this early in his twenties. Timothy Sykes achieved it younger than Darvas and much quicker and unlike Livermore, kept it, and is still a millionaire today. Even with all this success, he was not satisfied. Timothy went on to form his own hedge fund. I learned a lot from this part of the book on the difficulty of raising capital and all the regulations limiting any ability to advertise, or even search for investors. In reading about his experience, I know now I will never attempt to start up a hedge fund which was a thought I was kicking around with my personal success and track record of investing and trading. I advise adding this book to your trading library, out of the 70 on stock trading I have read I put it at the top. It should inspire everyone as to what is possible in the stock market and the importance of grasping whatever opportunity you have in the market at the time you are playing it. I love to use examples like this book that inspire myself to continue in trading and become completely financially independent. </B>
"Sykes has the whole self-righteous thing going on which gives him away a bit quicker than the rest." That self-righteous tone is a real "Red Flag"....
