Hahahaha now thats funny-thanks. What a grat fucking thread! I've never laughed so hard in a long long time. You know what the funniest part is? Timmaaay is laughing his balls off at all the free pub you knuckleheads are giving him. Good or bad its still pub for him and if he doesnt get any money off of it Im sure hes pounds his unit to it. hahahahahahaha man what a laugh.
Simple, it takes balls to go on TV & act as a schmuck, then again maybe he doesn't act in which case no balls are required, you can see his type on Jerry Springer & lots of them. What he's done is a total gamble, he said it himself. The only credit I will give this Tim is ability to sell himself, but that has nothing to do with his ability to trade/invest. You just have to talk real loud & a lot of bullshit, I am sure the whole of Wall Street is laughing at him. Badass yes, not so sure about the Wall Street part

Like I said, when I make my first $500,000 I'll come on here and rag on Timmay ... ... wrong! LOL are you guys kidding me!! The more you do the more you want to do. When I make my $500,000 I'm going to be working my ass off to figure-out how I can turn that into $5mm.
He is by far one of the biggest jokes on Wall Street. The write up about him on Page Six in The New York Post was beyond embarassing. He got owned by Rabbi Schmooley on CNN.... Neil Cavuto basically said he was a flash in the pan on Fox in their interview and laughed that he called himself a hedge fund. As far as the selling himself part....well....look at his book sales....not so sure he is doing a great job of that. He was a flash in the pan trader who hit it big for a year or so. Look at him now...he is now a blogger on his own site posting about 200 share trades. I think the fact that he left this baord with his tail between his legs speaks volumes about him. Maybe next time Surf is romancing him at his place he can ask what Sykes thinks "FU" money is now.
Or OK, here's another way to approach it. Here's some reverse logic for my buds who still wanna do drive-bys on Tim. If he's such a: * moron * idiot * nicompop * johnny-got-lucky * no-real talent * hustler * et al And he made his five-hunnet G's in the market, but you can't do that, well then you're all those names listed in triplicate!!! *** I used to do a lot of database work for promotors in the "fight game" (basically helped them project revenues and then count their money), and the rule-of-thumb there was that if you had 3 fighters: If A beats B, and B beats C, well then A beats C also. Not always true, but as a rule, it was a pretty good one. If you can't beat 'em, you can't knock'em ... that's called hate'in and it just aint right.
I think you have to stop living in Tim's past. What he did was impressive at that time. I think most on here aren't ripping him for his performance back then..its the way he acts. I mean...lets be real.....he has become a major embarassment over the last 2 years. As far as beating Tim.....again...he had a nice run short term...but in the long run...well......lets just say his days of trading seem numbered...he even admits that he isnt a good trader. Plenty on here started before him, and will be around for a long time after he is gone.
Jim, if your parents give you $20k and you buy a shit load of penny stocks, your portfolio goes to $1m, then you lose it, end of story. Do you really expect to be respected for that lucky strike? What's there to admire? His balls?
