Quote from optioncoach:
Lose the hyperbole. If you have a good story to tell then tell it. But to tell the world you are providing them info they do not have is misleading and really paints a picture of yourself as being the only one in the room not in on the joke. Hedge funds are not a mysterious ghost out there.
Quote from TimothySykes:
I'm not talking hardcore technical information--I don't even understand that crap and it bores the hell out of me. I'm talking about simple, understandable, useful information for the average American regarding financial speculation. Most of these people are going to casinos, the track, etc and they should be encouraged to learn about the financial markets because the odds are much better, if you know what you're doing. We need Financial Speculation 101 if you will and thats what I bring to the table.
Quote from Trvlwanderer:
What an elitist line of bullshit. Who the fuck are you to decide what the "average American" knows or needs to know.
If he wants to "know", he didn't have to wait for your toilet paper to be self-published or wait for the "DVD for idiots release.
Quote from TimothySykes:
Nothing I say is a recommendation to buy or sell securities and should never be construed that way. All my posts and articles are for entertainment purposes only and I will not be held responsible for anyone else's gains or losses. If you want more details take a look at Realmoney.com's, ET's, Timothysykes.com's, my book's, my DVD's and basically every other websites disclaimers that echo that same thinking.
And if your Grams had bought my DVD or subscribed to Realmoney.com, she wouldn't have bought so soon--she would've waited
Quote from TimothySykes:
Tell that to the thousands of people who have emailed me. There are people who have no idea that you can even make money when stocks go down! The fact that nobody has been willing to breakdown short selling or other alternative strategies, like Penny Stock trading, to these people leads them to try it on their own with their only guidance being message boards and scam artists. Very sad---with my media exposure, I aim to change all that to show everyone how rewarding, and potentially dangerous (when you don't have experience / knowledge / training) financial speculation can be.

If you are so busy (like with 12 interviews and thousands of emails), why do you have so much time to live on ET and respond to everyone???

Quote from optioncoach:
Your book and DVD is not groundbreaking as books on penny stock investing and short selling have been out there for quite some time.
Again, the selling point that your book is breaking new ground by introducing penny stocks to the public makes it seem that you, a supposed book publisher, is not aware of what is in the market.
Congrats on the book but think about your marketing approach. You seem to want to be this pioneer but it comes across as naive as someone landing at New York this week and claiming they discovered America.
