Must be awfully good stuff you are smoking Timmay if you are happy to underperform T-bills at higher risk over a four-year period (regardless of your underperforming "fund category")
Quote from Longhorns:
Are you being serious?
Losing 2.54% over a three year period is hardly something to be happy about.
Just like all snake oil salesman, Timmy tries to turn it into something good.
PATHETIC.
Quote from TimothySykes:

You are a dishonest shyster. You have lost 2.54% per year over the last 3 full years. In all honesty, how can you possible try to spin that into something good?
Anyone thinking of buying Tim's book should take notice of his snake oil tactics.
You have no shame and clearly no morals.

You gotta be kidding me, I'm not happy with the results, I merely point them out to show that FOR MY STRATEGY, I'm not doing as poorly as you would like others to believe.
I've repeatedly stated I lay this all out in my book. You should be ashamed of yourself. The good news is that petty/negative traders like you go nowhere in life as it's only those who are open to learning without bias who will succeed.

Losing money for 3 years is beyond "poor".
Was your "strategy" to lose even more money every year?
Timmy "Snakeoil" Sykes....dishonest to the bitter end.
Quote from michaelscott:
At the end of the day, Tim's name is on the cover of the book and his mug is on the CNBC where as Eprado is some random guy behind the monitor of a home computer in some place of America we have little heard of.
So? Most of the guys in the Market Wizards books were "some random guy" behind the monitor of a home computer. Most of the big informercial/seminar/vendor stars of the trading industry during the 1980s to present day are now bankrupt, in jail, or pumping gas for a living.
If Tim is good then it will show in his trading results, and he won't need guys like you to shill for him. If he sucks then the numbers will show that too, and maybe he'll become a TV "celeb" of the trading industry. The question is what can we learn from him that might help make us money? So far I haven't read anything from him that I reckon will give me better results, although I am open to being corrected.

exactly. people seem to think that notoriety= trading skill.
sad sad world indeed.....that is exactly the reason people like Tim are able to stay in business.....ignorant lost sheep flock to shysters like him for guidance because they are desperate and will believe anyone with enough brazenness to sell them snake oil.
