I cannot disclose anything further.. But, the answer is: You have to understand THAT the TV Show started off without Mr. Sykes. Do you think just any punk can be on a TV Show??? It takes motive.. drive.. ambition and WHOLE LOTTA other things.. [must read the book to get this part]
Stop bragging about those articles assclown. http://www.bearcave.com/bookrev/genius_fails.html http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/CNBC/TVReports/HedgeFundDropsFiveBillionDollars.aspx You can't even trade 4 quarters for a dollar so it's clear why you welched on a 100k wager.
He tells in detail how he learned about his old roomates father's company, an illiquid pink sheet, and invested $600k of the "funds" money in it? Can you please answer that?
I guess it could be worse...I guess I could come on here and admit I actually read that waste of a book like yourself.
Punks like you are what's wrong with this world. Everything is based on preconceptions and half-assed assumptions. I prefer to fight the good fight, and that means ignoring the ignorants like you and staying away from the plague that is you.
You are most likely one of his little cronies who is trying to get people who have been around the business for a long time to buy this waste of paper. "Most everything that happened to Tim to cause massive losses weren't really his trading itself" This might be the single dumbest thing ever posted on this site. SO how did wonderboy lose 25% in a year ? 90% in one trade? You sir, are truly an idiot. Dont even tell me that his losses were due to other traders at REAL hedge funds taking the other side of his position and jamming it down his throat. That would be truly hysterical if that was his claim. I think you mistook courage and willingless with desperation and need for approval.
Good luck peddling you 100 share lots. Unfortunately, I am not one of Tim's "cronies"... I was sent this book based on my merit alone: managing a fund. I guess people like me who had to struggle our ass off can relate well with Tim, while 10-lot pikers like you would have a very hard time.
