I agree...and Longhorns comments to Tim are fucking riotous!
Besides that, Time is such a major dipshit and watching him squirm and change his tone. My favorite is the way he went from being extremely confident about his trading before anyone posted his performance, to defensive, to reactionary, and now he's just attempting to hand in mediocre book reviews as proof of how great his book is.
I love how the guy who is usually trying the "I turned $12k into a fully audited pre-tax sum of...." is now gloating about turning down Wiley for a $35k advance and the chance to make another $1-2k on top of it.

How is it entertaining, you're just a bunch of mindless morons bashing someone on the internet. I agree this guy is kind of a douch bag but he does have a good story and is highly entertaining to watch. But seriously why troll around just to bash the kid? Do you people really have nothing better to do. I like how all of you claim to be these elite traders, yet i bet you are all nobodies who make dick all trading, if you're even in the positive. Maybe if some of you took all of the time you spent trolling on et and focussed it on trading you'd be decent traders. And don't come in here giving some bullshit about how 'I made 100K last year' unless you can actually back it.
I don't understand the mentality of some of you kids. And yes I mean kids, even if you're 45 years old you still act like fucking children.
Who gives a shit what you think whiny boy? You come on here crying like a little bitch and you call others kids?
I never claimed to be an elite trader...where do you get that? Oh, you just randomly made it up, thanks. I made a lot more than $100k last year and don't feel any need to back it up. Thanks dummy.
Elitetrader.com is a magic land where everyone's Sharpe is sky-high, everyone's NAV is always rising, no one ever has a losing trade, and every 25 year old is the next Steve Cohen.

1. It's fairly pitiful that you have to use a 5 year old statistic to show off your "great past success!"
2. What funds have you worked at? What trading floors have you worked on? Do you honestly think you run a hedge fund? How much money did you ever raise? Wasn't most of the money in your fund your own? You're like a little kid who sells lemonade and tells people he runs a restaurant.
3. "I talk about Wiley's offer to show that my book is freaken amazing!" You're writing a pop book...not a financial book. There is a difference. "When Genius Failed" and "Liar's Poker" probably outsold most trading books...people like Pop. It's interesting and I don't doubt that your book might be good entertainment.
4. Who cares what you think about the publishing industry? Those supposed inefficiencies you've exploited in your trading career have left you using tired 5 year old statistics. What, do you expect to make a whopping $50k on your book?
5. CNBC is supposed to be a financial tv channel. Who cares what the talking heads do? Is that any reason to act like a putz? I guess you think so.
I know of some of your greatp) trades and they're not great. It's too bad you can't disclose an audited list of ALL of your trades and balances because I think you'd immediately be sent packing with the "den of wolves" howling with laughter.
I would love to see yours. With as long as you have been trading (probably 15-30 years, you must be making a steady 10-15mm a year pushing a money line of 230 mm being your own wad. (this is quite conservative)
I can read right through many people and you seem to be bashing due to the fact you may be a little bit older, longer years in the business, get no play, airplay and girl play, do not do that well at your own trading, and never have, and look to come on this board to get someone to believe that you are still a good trader and still have what it takes(and will make it someday). I would love to see my inference proven wrong. dimelo socio!!
DIME!!! y yo soy latino tambien, pero eso, eso no!
Tim, you did a very good job all by yourself. f--- all of the other but pirates. Means more women on the market for us. I am sure you agree.
It is like dejavu, when I traded prop, these guys were the risk managers that still called themselves traders yet traded 1k qqq for 10c and acted as if they pulled off the trade of the century. fruitcakes! then when I was a broker you had the other 40-50 year old brokers who were still on the floor with less than 2mm AUM, always crying to the others about how they can help them build their businesses if they do a joint partnership with them. Homosexuality is a sickness which needs healing. It is not a normal form of living.
I didn't read any further than the first few sentences and caught a blurb about me probably being older than tim.
I have been investing for 4 years and I've turned $50k into about $2M.
I'm younger than Tim.
This is why I didn't read your entire post...it was all built on a dumb assumption that could easily have been avoided had you done any other reading besides that single post...sorry you decided to write some whiny diatribe without doing an iota of research into what the fuck you were commenting on.
I hope you buy tim's book...you guys can talk about how not to make money together while holding hands.

Got to admit...this new fucktard is funny.
I actually read his whole post....probably that tudorjones moron posting under an alias.
Almost as funny as the schizophrenic 14 figure hedgefund manager.
Just curious how a 21 year old scrapped up 50k.
What vehicle were you trading to get this return ?
