  1. Shouldn't kick a man when he is "down".....


    http://www.traderdaily.com/magazine/article/9611.html

    From Trader Monthy's website and its new roster of 30 Under 30......

    "For the most part, though, we’ve wiped the slate clean. You won’t see Cilantro’s humility-challenged Tim Sykes, who in the past year has gone from wunderkind to Ryan Leaf–like laughingstock."

    Wow. I remember not so long ago Greaves & Co. were pimping the guy. Well everyone can have their "dark" moments, it would be interesting to see how Tim will evolve from all this so-called negativity. Just another bad trade I guess.

    Tim...they guy called you Ryan Leaf. That isnt hilarious....is downright mean. Even I wouldn't go so far to call you Ryan Leaf. You do know who Ryan Leaf is?

  6. Yes, I do, but for everyone else:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Leaf

    Who cares if people are mean--this is no worse than what other people have been saying, again, all without knowing any of the details. As for the accuracy of the comparison, I think it's waaaay too early to tell, after all, I'm only 26! Unlike football, trading is usually mastered by those much older--it's all about learning from your successes and failures over time.

    On the other hand, if they'd read my book and came to the same conclusion, then I'd be pissed. Luckily, they have quite an ego of their own and think they're too good for my little book. Time will tell...

  9. Yeah Ryan has been through enough, they should have left him out of this...but yet they give him another below-the-belt shot.
