    Kind of Ironic how a guy who is so into shorting is out promoting his book instead of trading during this big sell off. As far as his book...I think the last thing he wants to see is the mkt go into a wicked downturn......his target group for this book will most likely get smoked in this mkt and the last thing they will want to do is read a book about trading/some kid who made money a while back.

    Holy christ does this jagoff have some ego.....




    "My popularity on campus was at an all-time high because many students had heard my story and had begun spending their days in my dorm room watching me trade. I’d put on little shows for my disciples.... Frequently, there were nearly a dozen college students staring at me in awe while they watched me make $10,000-$30,000 in one sitting. We all shared a good laugh when we discussed how little money they earned from their low paying summer jobs (p. 75)."

  4. Hey Timmy....how has your short biased "hedge fund" :D been doing during this market rout? (And don't give me any "I can't talk about it" bullshit....other ET members update their funds performance every month). The month is over...how did your fund do?

  5. You forgot the quote where an entire sorority held a love fest in Timmay's dorm room with Timmay playing the part of Caligula :D

  10. 4 years isn't a drawdown, it's a bad trader doing what bad traders do.

    The numbers are obvious...

    '99-'01 Timmy made money.....so did EVERYONE

    '03-'06 Timmy returns a pathetic 1.5%

    '07 Timmy is getting waxed

    Timmy's great early success was a product of the market. His story happened numerous times in every trading firm in the country during that time.

    Timmy is not a profitable trader. He has realized that fact and has decided to become a snake oil salesman in an attempt to profit from his 15 minutes of fame....end of story.
