Who is this person????? I have seen this photo posted in relation to Sykes several times. Is he an ET poster??
Looks like he is having his own ET crowd commenting after his post: http://timothysykes.com/2008/11/25/...s-really-are-they-must-be-investment-bankers/ Read some of the comments he received after the post...
I just don't get it. Yeah the guy is off the wall and blew out his fund--so what?? He is now earning more than most people on this site with much less work and having fun doing it. I would think traders and free market supporters would applaud a guy making serious money in a unique way. Only thing I can think is there is extreme jealousy of TS, nothing else makes sense for all this viterol toward a succesful businessman. what gives?? surf PS the guy banked over 500k prior to being 24 directly via trading. that is more than most anyone has here, regardless of age. jealously must suck
He banked 500K but couldn't seem to find 25K to get around the PDT rule. Yep, makes sense to me. Please go away.
yes, thats likely correct. I am not aware of his current trading returns, other than the covestor contest which he is ranked #1. surf
I think anyone who has banked 500K but couldn't manage to find 25K to remove a serious trading handicap is up to their eyeballs in BS. And even worse, if he's such a great trader, what does it say that he's willing to sell DVD's to beginner traders for strategies he isn't willing to risk even "5%" of his own money on? At best you can say he's a piker. And more likely you can say far worse things. But worse still is you've hitched your wagon to this guy. You've sunk to new depths, as improbable as that seems.
