Ok timmay, have it your way. Just remember what I said about free things on the internet vs. paying. Lastly, you wanna know what a fascinating story is: how a pure short seller (me) can make double digit audited profits for 12 consecutive years. But why would I write a book when I do quite well trading.
Nice attempt at fact twisting? Thats all you have done since you have been on here. It's frightening to think that you were happy with today's appearance. Basically zero mention of your book. But then again, you seem happy with what everyone thinks of you after that WSW show. It's funny how the person being interviewed could miss the whole gist of the interview. Cavuto seemed skeptical of you and your hedge fund. Skeptical of you basically getting in at the top....and skeptical of your style of investing/trading. At some point you have to stop calling what you have a hedge fund. You have a personal trading account (which apparently some people have thrown some money into...although you ducked my question from earlier.) Good luck with everything..you are gonna need it.
Exactly ! That's why my trading story is so unbelievable. When i'm 6 feet under, text books will write how there was a single short seller who was able to make double digit profits for X consecutive years (so far its 12, and i'm going for every year going forward until i'm dead). But this thread is not about me. i'm done here after the following post w respect to timmay's recent "review". Good luck to timmay and his book.
I give him credit. Tim had a very good run yrs ago. But like I have said 100 times, so did a lot of others. The difference is, most others are quiet/humble. His argument that WHEN the mkt turns, short sellers like him will do well. Well...last summer we had a nice sell off, from his results it doesnt seem like he took advantage of it. Not sure what he is waiting for. As far as these reveiews....who knows. They are from small blogs/websites. Not sure if there are any bad reviews....but if they are I am sure Sykes won't be posting those. If his writing career flops, he should go into politics......he has a knack for ducking questions and putting the spin on things.
Another lie from Timmay, episode 6 you state that your hedgefund is down 300k for the month. So all this shit about what your lawyer said is just pure bullshit. Trying to come across like you are trying to help new traders out when really all you re doing here is pitching your book makes you look like even more of a con. You wanna help people out try posting information for free.
Notice I used the dollar amount and not the % return---big difference, at least according to my lawyer. And, I'll post all reviews, positive or negative, but they must have read the entire book, not just the first chapter (aka Dealbreaker.com)
Timmay, i'm trying to wish you well and bow out here, but you're making it tough. "according to your lawyer"?? The same lawyer who incorrectly told you that you cannot "legally" tell people how much is in your "fund". LMAO. Answer me this, why is it that on CNBC , EVERY fund manager who comes on to be interviewed has their AUM told to the CNBC audience before they are interviewed. Maybe your lawyer should watch CNBC. You don't tell your AUM b/c you are embarrassed that the figure is tiny, given your big, fascinating "story". How can you sell books about this great story when in reality you may only have $1M in your account. And I agree again w EPrado, this is no hedge fund. Its a personal account. I thought you said you are honest ?
I tell every reporter ON AIR that my fund is too tiny to even be worth mentioning. You can hear it in thestreet.comTV interview and this FOX interview. How's that for honesty? The funds that announce their assets are registered with the SEC, I am only registered on a state-by-state basis, I have 0 licenses (no series 7 or 65 or anything) You guys gotta realize that while you think only earnings and asset size matter to make a story great, they're only part of it. Its the thought behind the trades and the experiences behind the numbers that matter most. Think about movies like 'Rudy'--he was never a good football player, but the movie was great because of his dedication and the ability of his story to inspire others...
