Woahhhh, it's amazing how my little story can inspire such hatred. Here's a little story for you to read before you join Satan for dinner: Before my recent draw down a wise investor told me he liked my strategy, my fund, my personality, and my drive to succeed, but he wouldn't invest because I hadn't been scarred. I couldn't understand how 7 consecutive up years was a negative, but now after a year and half of losses, I understand. The greatest lessons are in our failures and we must either learn from the failures of others or be forced to endure them ourselves. I am definitely scarred now and it's going to help me for the rest of my life.
Actually, i'm willing to go "all in" that my understanding of business dwarfs yours surfer. And my understanding of trading does as well. I don't short stocks (like CROX) that go 20% against me in a few weeks. I have much better risk management skills than that piker.
LMAO! You're soo ignorant tim. Yes, i did point out that you have not only lost investors, but are unable to gain new investors as well. And these investors speak the loudest to me. They have been exposed to the entire "story" and still don't want anything to do with you. "money talks and TS walks". If the above was a real reason the potential investor had, he was just turning you down POLITELY. Go ahead, nerd boy, count up all of the polite "I won't invest a nickel with you" excuses investors will have. Just shows me you how retarded you actually are that you try to put a positive spin on them.
Please, nobody's heard the whole story yet. Like a few others on this site, you can't seem to understand that I'm not trying to sell you on a strategy or on my fund. No, I'm sharing my experiences, both good and bad, just to get everything out there to help people better understand trading and hedge funds. Can't wait for you to read a free chapter or two that I'll be posting in a few days and see what I'm talking about.
I wouldn't read a sentence of this crap if you payed me. Guaranteed you and your miserable book fail nerd boy. It will fail, like your fund has failed, because you are a failure. You have been and always will be a failure. Maybe i'll read your 2nd book, "why I failed and why my 1st book and hedge fund failed: the real story". No, we don't have "all the details" on that yet !!
Thanks for the added motivation to prove you wrong. Just curious, how many copies sold represents failure in your opinion?
A better question is: what will it take for you to acknowledge you are wrong and a failure? How few copies sold represents failure tim? "money talks and TS walks"
I dunno man, I'm young and I'm gonna be promoting this book for the rest of my life so failure really isn't even an option. Considering I've pre-sold about 1,000 books and it only takes 7,000 or so to be deemed a "Bestseller", I'd say I'm on my way. I think it's pretty sad that you consider me a failure, when, at my young age, I've achieved things most people only dream about and even with my mistakes, I'm still a whole lot better off than 99.9% of the world. More importantly, I've gotten letters from people saying my story inspired them to get into finance and business at their young age and to me, it doesn't get better than that because I really believe you need to get started early in life, win or lose, so you can start learning and applying those lessons in the future. Bobby, I've run into people like you all my life--you like to rip others down to feel better about yourself. Your only contribution to society is the money you pay to your therapist. Get ready to seek even more help because if my book is successful, you're gonna have a tough time dealing with it.
Tim, since completing the book does your Funds losing long position in Cygnus E Transactions (CYGT) still account for your poor performance? Don't refer us to your book. Need to know about why you still lose money AFTER book completion. Seems like the bleeding from that one very bad trade should be over now?
