Sorry to you, you're not telling the truth.

Folks, this guy is not credible based on his answer here, and i'll leave it at that.

BTW, not that I believe you're going to Oprah, but she will be sure to know before she makes a mistake that you are not truthful. No, I don't know Oprah, but I do know her personal physican very well, as well as a neighbor/friend of hers in her high rise.

And yes riskarb, I was serving drinks. i've also served drinks at Soros house and a handful of other super rich......

why the elaborate fabrications?

Guys, let's get back on topic. Tim, some serious questions:

1. What is your money management strategy? How much of your money (maximum) would you put in one particular stock?

2. If you are good with stocks but diversify for safety, why not just trade ETFs/futures? Then you don't have to do all the hard work of researching and you can spend the evenings dating.

3. How many hours do you spend a week with trading including research? (don't include the fundrunning time, just the trading related time)

4. Why the strong short bias, when the markets/stocks in a rally mode? Do you want to make money or want to be right (of being short)?

5. Had I given you money in June 2004 after 3 years you would be sligthtly DOWN, when the S&P is up almost 50%. That is a serious underperforming of the markets, showing that you have trouble adjusting to new market conditions. How do possible investors feel about it?

6. Your last year's performance of -25% is quite abismal compared to the market's going up 13%. Looks like you are trying to fight the trend. Why not just go with the flow?

I have a few advices but will keep them until you answer these questions...
 
Quote from optioncoach:

Now you come back and confirm what I original said that trading book are expensive at Wiley, and even add everywhere regardless of the publisher. You basically agree

I promise I won't post again.. You, and others on this thread, have made a special point of tagging Wiley as an expensive publisher. My simple, obvious and true point is that quality books in the field are expensive from all publishers, so there's no reason to point a finger at Wiley. Again, browse Wilmott, then tell me whether you still believe Wiley is expensive -- relative to its competition.
 
Yeah, some Wiley books are expensive. Even this simple option book in eBook form is still $70!

Well, I said I'd stop posting.. but I'm weak. Did anyone follow my suggestion and actually check what high-quality derivs books from non-Wiley publishers sell for, say, on Wilmott:

Modelling and Hedging Equity Derivatives
by Oliver Brockhaus, Andrew Ferraris and Christopher Gallus
Publisher: Risk Books
Our price £145.00

The Handbook of Financial Mathematics - Vol 2
Derivative Instruments
by Peter Cartledge
Publisher: Euromoney Institutional Investor

Foundations of Continuous Time Finance

.. Yes, those are cable prices, so you can double them for $ prices. Relatively speaking, Wiley's books are a good value. They're generally well-written, well-edited and competitively priced.

Sorry to burst your bubble surfer, but I have been to his house. Will a $100,000 bet shut your "envious" mouth ? I can prove it, as i can prove i've been guests at many of these super rich homes.

My friends who runs $10B with a staff of only 30, his initials are SD. His funds initials are BD. If you know the best at distressed secutities, you'll know him. There's my clue.

So shut your envious mouth surf, or bet me the $100K. I've also been in Trumps apt, Bloombergs, Leo Castelli's in 1996 (Roy Lichtenstein was there) etc etc. i'm not a name dropper so i'll stop at that.

But to jealous "surf": STFU you jealous, envious jackass.

And yes, Tim is lying and I can easily prove it. But i'd like for him to admit it himself.

WTF? Why does anyone care whose homes you've visited? What does this have to do with reviewing Mr Sykes's book?
