Tim Sykes

It's not open to interpretation. Unless Sykes' is promoting that he actually "owns" the property. It's owned by two brothers from Delray. Not named Sykes. I have provided the parcel and tax info. The taxes have been paid by the owner, without fail. The last payment was made in Dec2013. The records go back to 2005 -- and the same investors from Delray have owned it for that time.

Just because some one is teaching doen't mean they are not successful. They are bringing in additional income to reduce their risk in the market, in an effort to sustain their lucrative lifestyle.

Agreed.

Well, I don't know what Sykes' is stating publicly about the house, but he does not own it, and there are no recent transactions on that parcel. The tax records on that property go back to 2005. The same two brothers have owned it for the entire (public) tax record (2005 to current).

Given that only two of his BBC students were successful, that takes a lot of chutzpah to claim bragging rights for.

??? He has earned the right to brag, who is to say the other students didn't have the right capital, didn't pay attention or make a righteous effort.

But then 2 out of 8 not bad considering:

Bruce Kovner: Over the years, I have tried to train perhaps thirty people, and only four or five of those have turned out to be good traders.

Marty Schwartz: I hired four people, but nobody lasted. They all became intimidated. I tried to clone myself and it didn't work. I taught them all my methodologies, but learning the intellectual side is only part of it. You can't teach them your stomach.

Victor Sperandeo: Over a five-year period, I trained thirty-eight people. Each of these people spent several months by my side while I taught them virtually everything I knew about the market. Out of these thirty-eight people, five made money.

I'd have great respect for an educator who openly published stats like these, but not hard to understand why they don't: the average trading rookie wouldn't be impressed with a 15% success rate. Better to just parade your top two students, buy rent a mansion and stick a Lambo in the garage.

It's right there in the pic you posted. He claims the house is his!

Understood. Define, "his." He's a "tenant in possession" for lawful use for the term of the lease. I personally don't see the big deal, but yeah, most people are going to assume he owns it.

I mean, does this guy strike you as humble? Of course he's going to imply that he owns it.

I saw it that why I came in here and commented. He pissed off the chef in the end, however why would he go on a cruise ship and trade. If internet was that important you should tote a 4GLTE wireless access point. Dont blame the captain for having weak satellite wifi.

I think Tim has an abrasive personality. I actually don't think he is purposely condescending. I always find it humorous and interesting when he or others try so hard to "live large". I have interacted with some very wealthy people with not the least hint of airs. I have said this before I have a friend of a friend who's net worth exceeds 25 million and won't pay for central air. Its interesting what people value.
