Hedge Fund Book

  1. Here is the truth:

    Tim is writing a book on how to start a hedge fund and turn $1 million dollars into $1 million dollars 4 years later.

  3. I would say he's probably turned $1.6M pre-tax audited into $600k unaudited post tax...:p

  4. To this day,I still say it was waggie or someone else who lied and told you I lived there. I never said i lived there. Yes, i did go along w the whole thing when called out, but I would hardly consider that a lie. It's better probably termed 'childish" or "immature".

    I had a close friend who's a neighbor of oprah leave her a note, yes. This neighbor is of tremendously high distinction, so he'she would never do something foolish unless he'she was sure i was being honest.

    Think of ways it can be proved. A guest list. A person very familiar w the event who knows who was there etc etc. there are alot of ways.

    I still say its very telling that timmy was unable to describe anything at sac's home. Like I said, i was at trumps apt 10 years ago, and i can still describe what i saw well. Same goes for Castellis house etc. When i go to beautiful homes, I take notice of whats there. who wouldn't ?

    You still safe from those fires ? Hopefuilly itll rain hard there (like it did here last night), and help put those fires out.

  5. Help me understand this. Someone who reads the book.. is bored or stupid. Whereas someone who writes lengthy posts about a book he hasn't read.. is - ?

    Is writing about subjects (in this case, a book) that you know nothing about evidence of intelligence? I'm lost now.

  6. Interesting how i continue to insist i'm telling the truth about timmy lying. Like my mother told me, 'you get caught in a lie once, chances are people will conclude you're a liar". And now i see this:
    Timmy was a liar here, and he lied again about being at sac's house. Once a liar always a liar.

  7. Well, you specifically stated I "didn't show" in Chicago while you were in NYC at that moment.

    Anyway, not the point... I don't see how anyone could get it vetted whether he was there or not. Timmay could be avoiding the question as he'll receive nothing by proving his veracity. He hasn't been treated well, and that's partially his fault. Ducking his performance was weak.

    Yeah, the sun was orange yesterday, surreal... but nowhere near us; the fire is 40miles South at the Southern rim.

  8. Question---

    Is this intelligent?....

    Reading a book about trading and starting up a hedge fund from a guy who hasn't come close to outperforming a bank CD over the last 5+ years

    A) Yes, it's brilliant

    B) No, it's stupid

    Maybe you just have more free time to waste than I do.

  9. Like I said, i chalk up everything that happened w the brawl and dialogue as "immaturity" on my part , and yours for that matter. But thats old news.

    After reading what longhorns wrote, isn't it clear now that timmy is a liar ? I already knew it, but that really throws it over the top.

  10. This thread is certainly bound for chit-chat. I give the guy huge kudos for not cutting winners and riding $12k into $1,600K trading RETAIL. There's a handful of people who have done this trading equities without derivatives. I am not referring to guys taking 10k to 2,000k and back down to 10k.

    His performance since then is empirical proof that he's on the wrong track. I'd recommend choosing a vocation and offering full commitment. Unfortunately, his "celebrity" is inextricably-tied to the good years while ignoring the bad.
