LOL THIS GUY IS A JOKE!! He's taking quotes from various points around the book and mashing them all together to make Tim look bad. Elite Traders: DO NOT FALL FOR THIS CRAP! Slacker has already been busted for lying about having read the book. 9-16-07 05:44 AM Quote from slacker: Quote from today on another thread. If you never met the 'guy' how do you know the details of his recent trades? I just checked and these trades are not in the book. You just happened to Google the book and then found this site? LOL, you just exposed yourself as not having read the book. Tim's (EFUT) and (CSLR) trades are on pages 208 and 209. Tim, where are you, you have to remember this post!!!!!! I just exposed one of your haters as an outright liar!!! Busted!!!!!!!
I think one of the lessons of the book is this: If you discover an opportunity/inefficiency/advantage in the market milk it as fast and as long as you can, because there is a chance that you will not find another one!!!! (as Tim's example shows)
Great work! These guys just have some kind of vendetta against me, they really are going to be quite surprised. Glad you liked the book, maybe now you can help me fight back these people that try to twist the facts around
Yes! It's all about taking advantage of opportunities in any industry / startegy to the max. The key is that diligently to understand all the potential risks and rewards. This is why I'm not embarassed to be a self-promoter--I'm trying to lead by example because I have a good message.
I also like Tim Sykes as wacky entertainment, but he is getting a little more emotionally unstable, such as insulting any reader of the book who is unimpressed, and demanding that Amazon delete any bad book reviews...kind of weird...I think Tim is trying to milk his "TV fame" the best he can. Book describes the infamous 250K "loan" from his hedge fund to nearly bankrupt Cygnus E-Transactions (CYGT.PK) and his additional purchase of shares which was amazingly ignorant and possibly illegal! Normal people do not have such bad judgement, so Tims "advice" rings hollow! After losing over one third of their money, I feel sorry for Sykes poor investors.... I guess Tim is only good for more wacky entertainment as our favorite attention whore!!
Is Sykes giving up the Cilantro Fund farce Oct 1, so he can give details of the Fund trades to his "fans"? (why would anyone want to know how he returned <1%/yr ??) http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2007/09/25/7586/tim-sykes-has-a-fund-only-a-mother-could-love/
LMAO, the title is classic.... "Tim Sykes has a fund only a mother could love". LOL...another awful ripping of ET's resident douchebag.
I love it. You even have positive "reviews" on amazon.co.uk. LOL http://www.amazon.co.uk/American-He...2719623?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190723937&sr=8-1
Sorry Mr. Reaver, but we must try to be politically correct: lets just say: "....Fund is off its highs...."
