  2. ** Rowshan Report **

    Timmay's book continues to plunge in amazon sales after embarrassing emails are revealed showing timmay grovelling and begging to go to the traders monthly party.

    The book has not cracked the top 100 in "Investing" despite timmay's claims that it was in the "top 30".

  3. Haha, yes my ranking is plunging!!! Uh oh, what am I going to do? LOL. Seriously man I think you watch it more than I do---last time I checked was yesterday and I was #1,800 and something like #40 in investing and #8 in stocks. Who cares, it's so early in the game, just have some patience.

  4. Thanks for the reply Tim. I was expecting to be ignored. I didn't mean for you to lay open your entire portfolio. Why not a discussion about prospective stock candidates? I trade futures, and not equities, so it matters not to me. The point I was trying to make is why not be something more than Timothy Sykes the promoter, unless that is all there is, or all you hope to get out of being here.

  5. No problem, once more people have read my book and can better understand where I'm coming from, then we can talk trading. Until then, I'm just trying to get the word out there to speed up this process.

    Tim,
    There have been so many blowouts, like Hunt brothers
    What's so special about your BLOWOUT. Have you not read FOOLED BY RANDOMNESS, or do you not know what BLACK SWAN Means..
    Vic's implosion, LTCM implosion were a treat to watch. You are just a kid nobody cares about. Even Jesse Livermore Lost it all 3 times or maybe more..
    Can you tell me again..What's so special about your failure?? Frankly 2mil isn't much..so you never made it..So how can you lose it all.
    Moreover your's is not a story of someone WHO LOST IT ALL and had GUTS TO carry on and make it all back again.
    ONCE YOU lost your money, you just changed your profession.haha...
    What a FIGHTER..haha

  7. My losing a third of my portfolio is not why I wrote the book, it's just a part of my story that everyone seems to be focusing on. If you don't care about my story, that's fine, but I believe it offers a great many lessons and it's sad that people think they have to be in this business for decades or make tens or hundreds of millions for their experiences to serve any purpose.

    It is not your LOSING MONEY but it your LOSING HEART that makes me wonder if you ARE A MAN AT ALL...
    Almost every good/great trader had big losses and came back. BUT YOU SIR simply RAN away and are TRYING to FIND another profession..
    that's SIGN OF A LOSER..
    If your story had shown even a slight iota of grit in you it might have been worth read.
    But You are just another loser..Many people make a fortune in markets.
    and as they say Markets GIVE and take back with same ferocity...

    I just hope you have a better luck as a writer (which btw doesn't look like happening as of now)

  9. This Sykes article says Cilantro/Sykes Fund will close down Oct 1; in order to allow Sykes to detail all the previous Fund trades (less than 1%/yr return..who cares how he lost the money??)

    Tim, Are you giving up Oct 1?
