Actually several people are still positive, and some took their gains, as before this drawdown, my fund was up 70% since inception in 2003
Why not?? didn't they get to see their hedge fund master trading their real money in real-time on TV?? How many investors in other hedge funds can say that???
Is this "factually inaccurate"? Does this warrant removal....be honest. And don't claim he didn't read the book. You have no way of knowing that from this post other than your ego showing it as negative. Poor, poor Piece of Shit. I should write about Afghanistan.It would be interesting and I wouldn't have to "sell you" that I need kudos.
Once people saw T.S. manage money on TV, his hedge fund days were numbered since no new investors could trust him .... "Risk management".......NOT.........hehehe......
Timmay, I'm curious. You have nearly 700 posts here, but as far as I can tell, not a single one directly concerning a particular stock. Surely, someone that has turned 12K into 2 MM, must have many great stock plays to comment on. Are you only interested in ET for the self promotion? Do you not have anything else to contribute to the topics discussed here at ET?
One more thing I'm curious about. You state you turned 12K into a fully audited pre-tax sum of $1.65 million from 1999 to 2002. Did you not pay taxes on the gains in 1999, 2000 and 2001? Or, is the 1.65MM after paying taxes in those years but before paying taxes in 2002? Or, to put it another way, what was the sum at the end of 2002 assuming all prior and current years' taxes were paid?
After tax it was something like 900k. Def. paid a lot of taxes and i paid even more when I made several hundred thousand more in 2003, 2004 and 2005. As for specific stocks, I run a private fund, I can't disclose exactly what I'm playing and how I'm playing it. But to give you an idea of the kinds of stocks I do play, take a look at JRJC, CPSL, ZVUE and SCON.
