"snakes of a feather slime together" brandon, you have absolutely, positively ZERO credibility. You said the EXACT SAME thing about tony oz, and I know for a FACT that tony oz is a snake oil salesman of snake oil salesman. It's always the same story..If tony oz (or any other "instructor") could truly trade, there would be no need to peddle crappy info dvd's. Same goes for your new "most ethical person" on earth you are now staunchly defending. To prove your word has zero credibility, i'll go back to very recently when you pledged you were leaving ET for good. "snakes of a feather slime together" ========================== Why is it every time I log off ET, I feel the need to shower?
I dunno what's up with Tony. He PM'd me once and then never got back to me. I could easily make a guy like Tony millions of dollars per year though. He's a nice guy, very engaging, good looking, speaks well and knows what he is talking about. I don't know anything about his current business. I know that every time I talk to Tony he's a great family guy, and he's not out there to screw people or spread negativity like so many of the people here.
Yeah, thanks to my tax money. Oh, btw if medicaid ever runs out on you, just go for the weed... then again you probably already have judging by your posts...
All you newbies who marvel at his played out line of "I turned $12,000 dollars of Bar Mitzvah money into 1.65 million" are the exact lemmings he sells his dvd's to. What he doesn't tell you is that he lost most of that money over the next few years after the bubble popped. Also, you newb's have no idea what it was like back in 1999 and early 2000. It was literally "The more size you took, the more money you made", and I am being totally honest. Guys who had no idea how to trade were making 6 figures a month (most of them lost it all after the tech bubble burst, just like Sykes). Sykes penny stocks are IMPOSSIBLE TO BORROW for shorting. His returns ARE IMPOSSIBLE in the real world BECAUSE YOU CAN"T GET A LOCATE. Get a clue you stupid sheep. Stop being so naive. Great traders trade. Great snake oiler's sell the dream.
You must be kinda blind. A HUGE part of Tim's story is losing the money, in fact the losing of the money is, in many ways..and especially from a marketing point of view, much more meaningful vs the making it in the fist place. It's the classic struggle, the hero's quest, loss and redemtion etc. He has never made a secret about this, his entire book, "An American Hedge Fund" is essentially based on this.
Doesnt everyone here realise what his scam is??? He has developed a following and his PNL has gone vertical since. The only reason he is able to profit is because he trades stocks whick only trade 20k-150k shares a day and they are also cheap. So what is happening is he draws people in based on his Bullshit record, and then he decides to short a stock and lets it be known to thousands of newbies, and the stock automatically goes in his direction, because all of the newbies hop on board, and short the piss out of a totally illiquid stock. So it is a phenomenal business for him because it is a self full filling prophecy, none of these newbies are able to actually profit off his trades, once he releases the alert he is dumping his stock into them, cause he doesnt care, as long as his bullshit trades are somewhat profitable he provides a good track record which then draws in more newbies to sell short the stocks which he is preaching.
If it's that easy and anyone can do it, then how come everyone (including you and me) is not? The reason? Coz your about 10,000 miles off the target. In terms of him moving a stock, the first thing is that he mostly shorts stocks that are being heavily manipulated by pump and dumpers..websites, stock operators and boiler rooms. Trust me, those guys have a TON MORE money behind them vs a guy like Tim who has, the last I checked, right around 2500 subscribers I think, to Tim Alerts. When you have a stock, like HEB...the day it traded like SEVENTY MILLION shares, Tim shorted it around $4.00 per share. Trust me, the 700 or so shares that Tim himself took, plus whatever amount it was that his subscribers got ahold of, is NOTHING compared to what the manipulators where dumping on their suckers. If it was so easy to do what you think he is doing, more people would do it. Not only that, Tim is big enough at this point (since I joined him his Gross Sales climbed up to over $150K per month) even remotely in the grey area's the SEC would be all over him. There are idiots that are buying these stocks like HEB that are reporting him to the SEC nearly every single day...nothing at all comes of it because everything he does is 100000% ethical across the board.

Have fun with your internet marketing.... i prefer to make my money from the market..... GET LOST YOU LOSER!!!!!!!
Brandonf, a man is only as good as his word. And you can't stay true to yours: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=161348 It is ashamed, because many people here once thought you were "somewhat" reputable. I remember when you had your own site, then you taught others to trade, then you got sick, then you were going to start a free mentoring program (where did that ever go...you had an entire thread with a bunch of people trying to sign up). Somewhere in there you ran a ton of money for people, you were going to work for one of the original employees of Microsoft, and then you became an Internet Marketing guru. You exhibit all of the characteristics of a pathological liar. Nice way to build a name for yourself.
AND LOST IT AGAIN. So all it proves is that he is clueless about using money management. He got lucky and lost it. So... this is trading?
