http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-s...ceful-anti-semitism-cnn-special-god-sex-greed From the article... Timothy Sykes is a 24-year-old hedge fund manager who loves making money. In fact, he took $12,000 he received for his Bar Mitzvah and turned it into nearly $2 million. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Timmy is still trying to capitalize on his brief period of glory from a half decade ago. Too bad these hosts don't do any due diligence on Timmy. Would love to see one of them call him out on his past 4 years of trading failure.
This part was hysterical.... -------------------------------------------------------- "With that as the premise, who do you think CNN chose as one of the examples of greed in our country? Disgracefully, a 24-year-old Jewish hedge fund manager who took his Bar Mitzvah money and turned it into millions. Nice stereotype of a greedy Jew, wouldn't you agree?" ----------------------------------------------------------------- LOL. He's got Timmy pegged spot on.
This is really giving a bad rep to real hedge fund managers: "TIMOTHY SYKES, HEDGE FUND MANAGER: I think the main problem is that America isn't focused enough on greed and sex." I'm pretty certain that George Soros doesn't share your view, and neither would any of the other leaders of the industry. I can't believe you would say that actually, Jebus, how could America become any more focused on greed and sex?
In all fairness do you think the show was even a good one, pretend you were not even on it. They got Smuley, the Hasidic Bill O'Reilly who never lets anyone else talk or make a point and the host who lacks any personaility really. And greed, sex and God is a lame topic that an intern came up with. Honestly, watch the show as though you were not on it and you will see it was embarrassing for CNN. This was a lame show where the real issues were not even discussed. What else is a Rabbi gonna say but only spiritual things matter duh! And they put you and a porn star to debate with him? You want to sell a book and trade, do not go on a show that itself is low bar traife.
C'mon don't try to go for the obvious condemnation as so many people are prone to do. My point is that if you are truly greedy, you will value education above all else in turn your education will help you be more competitive, more successful, and more helpful to society. People are only partially greedy in that they want riches and material things, but they don't want to put in the decades of work required to get there. They like to take short cuts using leverage, etc. If they were truly greedy, they'd realize there are no shortcuts and that's why need to encourage people to be greedier to get over the lack of education hump. I admit it's an abstract idea, but just don't be so quick to judge until you hear everything instead of listening to some wacko's article that doesn't even summarize the debate
I saw it. If Sykes can do it, we all should do it. Include "as featured on ET" in personals, the chicks might like it. Put it all over "I'm a Trader" webpages, and paste it everwhere else you can think of. ET will become so chic that I bet dozens join the Board just to use the logo. Bless Timothy for showing us the way. Bless Baron for allowing it.
In "TimmyWorld", being greedy is best. Therefore, Baron should sue the shit out of Timmy for improperly using his websites logo. Baron gonna get paid!!!!
Timmay IS paying Baron. Otherwise, it would be a major, MAJOR example of double standard...considering how many people get hammered around here for advertising themselves, yet this fag Timmay can sit around for like 2-3 months promoting himself and his book with no recourse..... Seriously. Either that or an advertisement agreement on Timmay's site, though I'd say Timmay would definitely be getting the better deal out of that gig.
Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction. Erich Fromm Judging by Timmay's "fund" performance..... I would definitely say this is true.
