Hedge Fund Book

Quote from TimothySykes:

You gotta be kidding me--I've addressed this numerous times. I've admitted to not being a great trader, but I've always said I'm a good trader.

I made money all the way up to 2006, and once you'll read my book, you'll see why--don't even try to play that "only made money during the bubble" game here. As far as I know, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 weren't part of the tech bubble, but please correct me if i'm mistaken.

Seems like you've found yourself an arsenal of haters.. So be it, people hate because they envy. I have a question outside of trading, I don't know if you can answer it or not though.. What type of cameras did they use to shoot WSW? And any idea on production costs for the show?

Good luck with the book, i'll be picking up a copy after it comes out.

Hey Tim,

I'll probably get flamed on this board for being a "suck up" or something; regardless, just wanted to say thank you for adopting the mentor/teacher role and telling everyone your story. It's helped me out a lot.

Hey, man, you need a tissue to clean up?
 
Quote from mschey:

Those risk adjusted numbers, and other creative measures of performance, are just crutches for traders and funds to justify underperformance, IMO.

I wouldn't call CAPM, Modern Portfolio Theory, and econometrics bs. Don't forget some very smart people base their entire academic careers on these ideas.

Trust me friend....the haters are not envious at all. Why would I be envious of some guy who made good cash during the bubble/a little while after the bubble.....and now is failing miserably. The "haters" dislike him because he is an egotistical prick. Has ZERO to do with his performance.

Well said E.
 
Thanks man. Christ .....I have friends who have done much better than me over the yrs. Am I envious? Fuck no. Am happy for them. They are good guys. Not egotistical pricks. It's funny how some people on here cant see the reason why so many dislike this kid.

That's fine and all, but why even bother coming into this thread then? For someone that says they could care less about this guy, you sure seem to care.
