Tim Sykes and Penny Stocks

That much is true, the guy really sounds convincing.

If I remember correctly he made his money shorting penny stocks that went up on fake news.

Here we can see him throwing away a $30K watch.
Yeah right, probably some $9.99 fake "luxury" watch he bought on Craigslist :D


He studied internet marketing, actually attending the same classes along with Tim Ferriss!

And he studied hard! His lifestyle does NOT come from actual trading...
 
What a surprise. What about Granttini and the other acolytes?

Hi,

I don't know about the people you mentioned, but the "Trading Education" field is filled with hustlers, and charlatans. YouTube is an excellent resource, in having exposed these con artists (and in various other fields!!!). You can probably find plenty of information there...

I did...

Hilarious. There used to be huge bullshit around trend following until the recent decade of crap performance. One of the worst of the charlatans was a bloke I used to call the Mouth. Never traded and his material was crap. But orf course he was selling a dream...make millions in any market. Wanka.
 
Reminds me of all those flipping houses and real estate rich schemes hahaha. Fuxking dumb fools for it all the time thinking they can just jump in and make money investing in real estate saying how easy it is. If its so easy than why isn't everyone their own landlord.


Hey Buster.......... some people made a lot of money flipping homes, especially the ones that sold CD's on the late night infomercials. Those guys were sophisticated. They wore ties, they had big smiles, they spoke clearly, and they used sophisticated electronic devices like an overhead projector.
They were quite believable. :D







Although some were disingenuous about their potential:

I had no idea:
"On June 27, 2011, Lapre was arrested in Tempe, Arizona, at a Life Time Fitness center, where he had reportedly lived for two days, with serious self-inflicted knife wounds to his groin. The wounds led authorities to believe Lapre had attempted suicide while at Life Time Fitness by attempting to sever the femoral artery in his legs.[14]"

Now, that makes my day ;)

Karma is a BITCH...

I will admit that I bought the Carleton Sheets CD's. Please don't ban me for this.
I did not buy any homes to flip based on his recommendations, but I owned 2 homes that I previously lived in while living in a third home I owned.

He made a few comments about not spending more money than necessary on home repairs for renters. 'Do the minimum, because most renters don't care, and you are investing for returns on your investment, not for personal satisfaction.'

I paid about $100 for the CD's and my investment was returned several times over, based on the money I saved from over spending on my other homes.

I always said I was going to buy a house to flip, but I was working 60 hours a week, going to college at night, trying to maintain a GF, and did not need anything else on my plate. Then I lost interest.
