Quote from FXTraderWill:
Also, that you even think you have a story worth comparing to Jesse Livermore shows just how far up your ass your head is. Your brightest, most successful days will be behind you because of your inflated ego and sense of self worth.
Of course you're being honest in your book, if you weren't, you wouldn't be able to sell it.
1. Its the people who have read my book that compare it to Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, not me.
2. I get the final draft back from my editor on August 1, so I'll post some excerpts to help you guys from making faulty conclusions.
3. My ego really isn't that big--the only reason why I'm so confident is because of all the business opportunities currently on my plate. The key is staying in the game and finding new opportunities and last time I checked, I'm still in the game. You take your losses and move on--my losses are actually helpful to you because my detailing them is going to help a ton of traders from making similar mistakes.

Quote from SiSePuede!:
I can't believe this thread is still going.
Tim is a schmuck who can't/couldn't trade so now he's writing some little "memoir" about how it's hard to raise money and make money when you're a shithead and people in the professional world know you're a shithead.
Then there's the real losers who actually think Tim's accomplishments five years still warrant some sort of interest. I'm not sure that's much different than respecting anyone who made money in the tech boom, 5 years ago.
Tim got on some shitty show, made some appearances on CNBC that made him look like a bigger schmuck, and then invested in an illiquid pink sheet(CYGT) and lost 40% or so of his("funds") money and now he's writing a book.
Take it from me guys...it was tim's "friends" who started telling people about the CYGT deal. Even they think he's a moron and started blabbing.
Those of you who actually think Tim has something word listening to should probably be put to sleep.

1. Actually I'm writing this memoir to help teach and inspire traders of all sizes. You try answering 40+ emails/day and see if you're not tempted to tell your whole story for once and all so you don't have to repeat yourself.
2. Last time I checked, I made money 2 years ago, not 5. 7 up years, 1.5 down--get your facts straight. See the many posts with all my performance data. Anyway, nobody has ever really detailed their greatest gains AND their greatest losses before--I'm going to teach people EXACTLY what worked for me and EXACTLY did not and in the end, you'll thank me for it.
3. My friends were pissed about CYGT because we all went down in flames on that one. The good news is that we've all learned a lot from it, and there's still a chance it can make a comeback. Never say never.
4. I have a lot to offer as you'll soon discover.

Oh and don't be that big headed-you're not some legend of trading. That in and of itself makes you sound like an ass.
Again, never claimed to be a trading legend, only claimed to want to help other traders.
And just because I know its gonna piss a lot of people off, I'm tentatively scheduled to be on Fox News with Neil Cavuto from 4-5pm on Wednesday, July 4th in a segment to be called "An American Success Story." Talking about what else, my upcoming book (he got an advance copy, too and liked it enough to want to have me on 3 months in advance) Hope you all watch! LOL
