What is so great about this ? The S&P is up +200% in the same 12 year period and that is if you held through the 3 down years.
So then why do you even try and compare your fund to the big boys? If it's too small, why do you gloat about it being the number one performing short-biased hedge fund? This is the same way you flip-flop saying that you're not a good trader and then saying that your trading is great.
I've never compared myself to the big boys--being ranked the #1 short Bias Fund on a PERCENTAGE BASIS is all I got. Of course, I'm going to talk that up. Maybe there's better short sellers out there, but they're not listing their performance for everyone to see. I think I am a good trader, just not great, but I think that my story is great because of its ability to help teach and inspire others. See-nothing is as simple as you want it to be, that's life for ya.
By saying that your fund is too small for certain things yet benchmarking it against what are likely much larger funds, you're being deceptive and the fact that you use one reasoning at one time and another for other times makes you seem even more like an idiot. Although most people need no more proof, please, we've had enough. Keep flip-flopping about your trading. You're clearly not a great trader since you haven't turned a profit for the last 2 years right?
Yeah I belive the ability to turn a profit is a pretty solid indicator of one's trading skills. Therefore using deduction, if Timmay hasn't turned a profit in two years (well 1.5%, but that is actually negative return when accounted for against inflation)...then by all accounts he wouldn't be considered a good trader. Now my question is that if supposedly 80% of traders on ET lose...then what makes you any more qualified to write a book than them? This guy is really just wanting to say he has a hedge fund so he can attract women folk at the club. Let him have his angle, that's fine. We all have said crazy stuff from time to time to women..this is just his elaborate approach at getting laid. But Tim, save the hedge fund talk for the people who can't understand it...because if you come on here talking noise- then you are going to get embarrassed. As has already been displayed.
I see your 'last post' lasted about 20 min's from the next post. I don't know why you guys are so attracted to Tim and his story. YOU said you were done and approx TWENTY MINUTES LATER you posted again. How funny. That is admiration at it's best.
Ahh, stupididiot, I could not have come up with something better to call you myself. Like I just said "fine, let him have his angle"....not knocking it..just exposing the lameness.
