  1. And your roll continues. I read that kirk report bullshit and wondered the same thing, who the fuck is kirk? His first "positive reviewer" got Googled and all I found out is he's no one apparently.

    Tim needs to just throw in the towel now before he spends his 'funds' money publishing that piece of shit book of his. :D

  2. Haha, this project is all funded with my personal money and you might not know who Kirk is, but I, along with tens of thousands of other daily readers do, not to mention Forbes, Barrons, etc all of whom named this blog to the best of the web.

    I haven't even approached traditional media yet because the I'm focusing on the bloggers first. But you guys are too dense to realize that I'm applying the same skills I learned from trading to the publishing world--we'll see if I'm right, just have a little patience.

    As for your homeless person comparison, its utterly ridiculous and is unworthy of a reply. Is there anybody else here who's made, even after recent losses, approximately 70x their original investment based on hundreds of thousands of trades (aka no big winner) within a decade? If so, please step forward and write a book detailing your process. I'll be happy to read it and maybe even publish it for you.

    Remember 4-5PM tomorrow Fox News with Neil Cavuto---watch it!

  5. Personal meaning your "funds" money.

    You've barely eked out flat over the last 4 years...you need a new line. :D

    I might not have wasted my time making hundreds of thousands of trades, or the commissions for that matter, but I've turned $50k into $2M in the last 4 years and haven't lost almost all of it like you. Not having to pretend that I'm a good trader and instead investing and walking away works well for me...sorry actively trading is what you use a gauge to money-making prowess. Kind of funny how you say you're not a great trader and then try and turn around and say you are.

    What are you going to do when your book flops? You should try and start a newsletter or a web startup, those would be good failures for your resume too!

    Why did you respond to my homeless person comparison if "its utterly ridiculous and is unworthy of a reply." ?! :confused:

    How has your 2 year return been? The market has been in an unprecedented bull run, easy money, how have you done? Can someone key in the details here? :D

  6. Funny how the poll seems to be going towards the "No" and "Hell No" in spades when TJ isn't around to skew it.

    Looks like 75% say "No" to nerdboy's big "story".

  7. 1. Get this straight, I'm not a great trader---but I have had great returns along with great losses. This will all make for a great story--see the progression there? But that's definitely too abstract for you.

    2. I haven't lost "most" of my money as you claim--your math skills need a whole lotta work.

    3. Write me a rough draft detailing how you turned $50k into $2mil in 4 years and we'll talk book deal--we could probly make you another few hundred grand if you can be witty.

    4. Oops, I forgot how bad at math you were so maybe you really only turned $50k into $200k or maybe even $20k--when you twist the facts around, who knows what to believe.

    5. So, the more I think about it, I'm not gonna offer you a book deal because I can't trust you, sorry!

  8. 1. Great returns with great losses. You mention luck in a street.com video someone recommended me to watch. So you're lucky and have big drawdowns at times? Great!

    2. How much have you lost then? Most would be half...so sorry, 40%.

    3. I don't need to write a book, I haven't lost a lot of money and I'm still making it.

    4. Doesn't make any sense.

    You can't offer anyone a book deal seeing as how you have to publish your own book. Now you're playing publisher? That's cute. :p

  10. OMG ! Watch this video. Timmay says he took $13K to $2M (wasn't it $1.6M pre-tax?)...and conveniently leaves out the rest of the story. Is that honesty ?? The "larry king" interviewer throws soft balls, but does ask tim how much money is in his fund now. His answer: "I CAN'T SAY". Sorry Tim, you can say, it is quite legal to say how much money you have in your fund, and the answer is $1M, maybe, after you lost most of it. Did you ever watch CNBC where they DON'T tell you how much a fund manager manages before they interview him/her ??

    I can only hope Cavuto busts him on this point. Bottom line, this kid is dishonest and a joke. I like the street.com but that lady was clueless.
