Yah, I've tightened it up a great deal since I sent out the review copies--the story is the same--but since this was my first stab at writing, I got better as I went along. In reality, nobody other than the MSN Money producer who just gave me my own show has read the final final version.
Yeah but that's like me writing a book about money called The Collar...when I really mean The Dollar.... But hey I see your point.
So none of you haters are going to comment now that you've been able to see Chapter 6 of my book? Come on surely you haven't run out of hatred yet just because you saw a little chapter now, have you?
Sorry Tim...was just about to read it when I found this gem. http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=103752 This kid is gonna steal your thunder on here. He is so mentally disturbed. It's like watching a train wreck...cant stop reading. You better bring your game up to the next level to compete with this kid.
Good, let him have the spotlight for now---I see amazon has jumped the gun with my book so it's now available to everyone, hopefully in a few week's times some of you will have read it and we can have a serious discussion for once!
This actual letter from Sykes is how he kisses ASS to get those professional courtesy "good reviews": Dear____-- I'm a big fan of your writing--you inspire and educate so many and that's exactly what I'd like to do with my upcoming book, An American Hedge Fund. I'd love to send you an advance copy for possible inclusion in the above list. The hedge fund industry is now a $2 trillion industry and yet, due to industry regulations, the general public knows little about them. This needs to change and that's why I've written, "An American Hedge Fund," due to be published on October 1, 2007. I promise this not the typical boring finance book! My claim to fame is that I turned $12k into $2 million trading waaaaay too many microcap stocks from 1999-2002, created a hedge fund, became the #1 Short Bias Hedge Fund from 2003-2006, starred in the TV documentary Wall Street Warriors (500 airings now!!), and began appearing regularly on CNBC all before the age of 25. This is no BS "How To" book--its the true story of a hedge fund created from scratch. People need to realizes the hedge fund industry is not just about billion dollar blow ups and huge funds created by investment professionals who are already wealthy. My 'Rocky'-like story will surely inspire generations to come to take part in our true national sport, finance. If you like it, I'd love to print a blurb with a mention to your site on the inside or back cover and hopefully you could post a review around press time in October. LOL..LOL...hehehe..."My 'Rocky'-like story will surely inspire generations to come "...... Tim, get back on your Lithium..please....
I agree. Timmay and B&B should go on TV and trade shooters while riding a unicycle calling short trades on a 10 minute chart!!!! It could help lend dignity and credibility to the show if not msnbc!!
