Sykes is definitely a scammer, probably even a sociopathic one as he is also known for pump and dumping and other affiliated shenanigans. He also started Investimonials, a cesspool of so called reviews of some of the biggest vendor scammer sites and probably responsible for thousands of new victims who are new to these ubiquitous scams every year. The shill posting replies allowed there drowns out any real skepticism or factual reviewing.
Tim is a successful snakeoil businessman - he's created the largest network of rooms, e.g Investors Underground, Superman, Kavan, Jason, Warrior and many other who affiliate with him or copy his model. I advise anybody who's not good enough in trading (=vaste majority of you) make their own newsletter. Fixed income is fixed income, it's the money which won't disappear when market turns against you. Simple
Mate got with a scam site, when i first started, chat room $400 per month, picking bottoms in downtrend stocks just throwing money away, anyone that complained got banned, eventually they exposed him, everyone left about 100 traders so 40k per month. Then we found another 4 sites running exactly the same, we joined and trashed him on 1 of them, he locked the others no new members to keep them safe. Likely 100k per month for sitting in a chat room, giving bad advice and playing forget the losers big up the winners game. Damn my morals i could be a millionaire already. I suspect pumping and dumping aswelll, ie get in first get groups to then get in then bail.
Maybe not around ET enough, was kinda easy to see there over complicated but highly detailed methods would only work after the fact as zero predictive value. Spot a few trying to pretend to be Guru's but they don't seem to stick around here long thankfully.
Alot of the members here don't know how to make a penny. Ask yourself this, why would any guru even stick around this site. What reason would they have? I stumbled upon this site looking for other traders who were in Idaho. I found nothing but rude idiots. anyone worth their weight in salt would not stay here. The chat rooms offer nothing. Sick perverts talking sexual crap. I feel sorry for new people who come here.
To make money via self-promotion obviously. For example, the vendor NoDoji got over 3500 followers on Twitter thanks to her self-promotion on ET and Stocktwits, all while never showing third-party-verified P&L statements, but she sold plenty of retrospective bragging and apparent competency, while leading her followers down a path of ruin, unless they were to join the dark side and become vendors.
there have been some stupendous vendors, i made allot of money with a few. but you have to have a brain to decipher lust for the unearned vs a business endeavor, which btw is what trading is.
Nodoji does not post here anymore. I have not seen any vendor like activity from her part, yet you're calling her a vendor. What products or services was she selling?
