interesting, ET member JOAB booked kiss for Toronto on Sept 29th--- 500k for band, 1.1 mill net profit per et chat log--- looks like there is plenty of money to spread around even on dinosaur acts. surf
Well only Cashflow Quadrant by Kiyosaki I find is worth reading. Yes the rest is repetitive "garbage."
Yes, but these are astute people who have made money in the past. Kiyosaki made the velcro wallet for crying out loud! You can't compare those hustling repetition sellers to some turd looking to make a few bucks off his 15 minutes of fame...they have something that they can sell over and over. Tim's story is only interesting to the same college kidiots who watch Cramer still. Those other names you mentioned, sin Cramer, get respect from older people because they preach methodologies that are feasible. Tim doesn't have a compounded return in the last 4 years, not exactly a strong selling point.
For a Groundbreaking Modern Day ROSO on steroids, what the hell is so monster about $35K for a book? I sure as hell wouldn't write a book at all under those conditions.
Somehow I think I'll be able to convert more than 1% of the 12,000 people that have been emailing me with lots of questions (nearly everyone writes me a long email, they don't just input their contact information like most other sites), but maybe you're right, we'll see. The book will retail for $19.95. Please stop saying I haven't made any money in 5 years, there's a difference between being unable to make any money post-tech bubble in 02, 03,04, and 05 and losing some of those gains in 06 and 07. In the book, I lay out EXACTLY how I made my money for 7 straight years trading the most volatile stocks in the market and what caused my losses of the last 1.5 years. Understand this, my gains will be fun to read about, but my losses will help you the most. EXACTLY the $35k is irrelevant to me, I only bring it up to give my book more credibility as those with knowledge of the financial publishing genre know it's pretty high for a first time author. Add to the fact that Wiley only read the first 80 pages of my book because they offered me a deal before I even finished it! I can't go into the specifics of my new publishing business model, but rest assured, I'll definitely let everyone know about each milestone I reach, copies sold and earningswise...
You haven't really made any money when you compound the last 4 years have you? Even your gains for the 2 years preceding 06/07 aren't impressive in the least showing you are unable to match prior gains made years earlier which you use nonetheless to promote yourself. You admit to having been lucky during the 98-02 period when you made most of your money right? Wouldn't you also admit that most of your money was made between 1998-2002? You haven't made any money in the last 4 years because you can't. Why don't you admit that? Would you read a diet book written by a fat guy? I wouldn't read a trading book written by a guy who uses old data to promote himself and hasn't been able to pull a compound profit off in the last 4 years. Wiley would have had to sell a piddly amount of books to make money on the deal...you have a crap pop book, they should be able to sell a bunch of copies easily...what's your point? $35k is still squat. You know that old adage about making money not being the hard part, keeping it is? Well, you failed the latter part turd. Perhaps you shouldn't be writing books until you've at least proven that you can make money consistently and not just with luck.
I'd say this question pretty much sums it up. What is the rebuttal to this?Wonder why so many people are having trouble with this one? Timm(g)ay keeps dancing through the details and convoluting shit, but regardless of how much prancing around the facts he does- THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT HE ISN'T BRINGING ANY MONEY FROM THE TABLE. Timm(g)ay, What the hell makes you qualified to tout yourself as some spectacular fund manager when you can't even get a return? Wow, because you had people give you money and made a couple good trades during a fucking bubble? WTF? That's like putting some rich country club kid on a pedestal because their daddy gave them money...whoopdy fucking doo. A marketer you are...a trader you are not.
