Tim Sykes/Narcissistic Personality Disorder:

Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates accomplishments, talents, skills, contacts, and personality traits to the point of lying, demands to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements); Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance.....

Denial - a psychological defense mechanism in which confrontation with a personal problem or with reality is avoided by denying the existence of the problem or reality

Yes, but this 3 year old has a very important message. People think i'm doing all this because i love attention, but they're wrong. I'm doing all this to get my message out and attention is just part of the game.

Most people manage to blow their own horn without sounding like another brass ensemble.

This isn't about me, we all know I have many personal issues...the problem here is the lack of transparency in this business and how that hurts our ability to learn from the experiences of others.

For example, think about how much we know about every single MLB player. We have access to all kinds of stats and we can watch how they perform each day.

Now think about a $100 million company thats trade on the Nasdaq. No publication can talk about it (due to industry regs), we don't know all their stats (due to lack of transparency), we can watch how it trades, but we don't know why it's in play or not (because we don't know what each person trading it knows) and yet millions of people speculate blindly in names like these.

This must change!

Amen to that!

Nope, just like the 150+ pre-release blurbs I got, this reporter loved my book and compared it to 'Reminiscences of a Stock Operator'. Hopefully just the first of many, time will tell.

Quote from Bob Rowshan:



Notice how Alan Greenspans best seller has LESS reviews than timmay.

Notice how Jordan Belfort's "The Wolf of Wall St" which is currently ranked #537 has only about 8 reviews.

Yes, "desperation" is the right word. Timmay's book is currently ranked #8,075 according to amazon.com sales.
