Will you buy timmay's hedge fund book?

My new website will be going up in the next week or so and then you guys will really be able to see what, if anything, i really know.

 

not a chance-go to hedgefund.net and look at the performance of his fund,abysmal-if i'm gonna read i want to learn something

 

I note that your 235-page book on Amazon is relatively expensive for a paperback as compared to other books in the same field. For example, most recently I bought the following hardcover books from Amazon, each of which was less expensive than yours:

Just an observation.

 

maybe so, but I'm trying out a new publishing business model---other hedge fund / finance books are all $25-$60 when they first come out

 

anyone read the book yet?

 

I think I'll wait for it to come down to $0.99 in about 3 months.

 

doubt it, first copies just shipped yesterday. my guess is by tuesday or wednesday next week, we'll have some answers

 

What book?

 

Take a look at my latest 2 msn clips and see if the background doesn't refresh your memory:

OUCH

Worn down, he spent two years bouncing among group houses of friends in Orlando, on the fringes of college campuses. He stayed in at night and read business books.

The bathrobe was a gift from his grandmother; on the left breast pocket is an embroidered “Timmy.”

After college he moved to Soho, where he spent six months partying until dawn and trying to raise $50 million for his hedge fund. He developed a taste for the finer things and a $500-a-week “sushi habit,” but came up roughly $50 million short.

In upcoming episodes, viewers will learn that Mr. Sykes’ mother still does his laundry, that he’s not much of a clotheshorse, that he works out on a rowing machine in his apartment, that he has a library stocked with 600 business books, and that he recently threw a rooftop party for all his friends and encouraged them to tell childhood stories about him to the Wall Street Warriors cameraman.

Mr. Sykes is the star of Wall Street Warriors, a documentary series premiering Oct. 22 on INHD, a little-seen high-definition cable network targeted at the sort of people who, like Mr. Sykes, keep HDTV’s in their $4,200-a-month apartments downtown. (Our hero also keeps a friend in his apartment, a younger banker who cooks, cleans, pays him $1,000 a month in rent and whom he playfully calls “the butler.”) There are 21 million American homes with high-definition televisions, if not also with butlers.
