Is Tim Sykes really a scammer?

Quote from marketsurfer:

The thing is Sykes is the MOST transparent guru there ever was regarding his statements and other proof documents. The guy does what he says and backs it up--- love him or hate him, that's a fact. Think his methods are unethical? Well, that's an entirely different question--- but his personal trading record is 100% accurate and truthful.

That's a serious case of man love you got there for Timmy. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

LOL

This reminds me how virtually every time someone exposes a scam artist, there is always a sucker willing to step in to defend the artist for free. It's like the public is just chock full of suckers who want to believe in a scam...and even defend the scam....I guess because it makes them feel good to believe in a scam.

After all, Robert Hoffman...the guy who lost 316K in a single daytrade, still has paid suckers who think he can teach them how to make a living from daytrading. LOL

Maybe I should start a paid service...since, apparently, there is no shortage of suckers in the world. LOL

Quote from wrbtrader:

Lets see if I understood, every best friend of Sykes is suppose to have access to Sykes statements and transactions going back one year ...

It was because he pasted some chats or e-mails with Sykes and claims to be a personal friend of his, been to his house etc (as claimed in this topic by him). MS claimed all of Sykes' results were openly accessible, after I tried to find public sources, I couldn't come up with anything, therefore I asked him for it. He obliged with results for a brief time period (an old trick that every scammer has used). But this topic is getting old, it's clear he needs the sheeple to push prices in his favor. Otherwise, why doesn't he find shorts in non-microcap stocks? (hint: bigger float is more difficult to manipulate with a small following).

Despite Sykes being a lowlife, scumbag, liar,and most likely having zero trading edge (due to subscriber induced help)..I do acknowledge one positive...he did post a statement, unlike countless guys here who speak of doing so well but mysteriously cannot post one darn sample.. hmmm



Sure it was cherry picked and if a 30k month makes one a guru in surfers eyes...I am starting to think he is possibility learning disabled or slow.

Edit: surf..u are not allowed to cherry pick from this post either,lol

it was more than cherry picked. it lacked the transactions. maybe he made the money on the long side.

Hello????? If you don't want a scammer, pay attention to a mutual fund manager that is actually audited by a real firm and watched by a regulatory committee. You don't hear about this or that mutual fund being scammers like you do with one guy on the internet.

There's a reason for that!!!

If he was good, he would have a hedge fund and do it legit.

There's a reason he doesn't!!!!

Good/great hedge fund managers make enough money.....and you don't have to deal with clowns wondering if you are a scammer...

There's a reason he isn't a hedge fund manager!!!

This is like wasting time on some joker doing youtube basketball videos and having no clue March Madness or the NBA even exists.

Wake up!!!!

LOL

Tim trades in a world somehow different than the real world? The guy has audited statements and his tax payments are posted on line. Why don't you google that and ask him for his statements? I'm not saying his trades are replicatable--- but he does them, and dats a fact jack. surf

take a look where he made his profits. only 20% or roughly six grand came from trading penny stocks, with no proof it was on the short side.

I'm the dumbest guy in the room---- but your wrong about cherry picked. It's the latest statement, that's all. TS is a microbe on Wall Street but still a guru to HIS followers.

" Is Tim Sykes really a scammer?' is the title of this thread. monthly statements with transactions are necessary to answer this question. they are not published on his web site. even if it was not the case the stats on his website are suspect by definition...

Out of curiosity, have you personally contacted Sykes and ask him for access to one year of his statements with transactions ?

If not, why not ?

Also, what if you find out he does provide them but only in person to anyone that drops by to his office. Would you be interested in going to see him to get the information you need ?

I ask the above because the guy seems like the type that prefers to deal with someone in person on issues like this to remove all the bullcrap to goes with anonymous user requests.
