Timmay - you should do this

Quote from TimothySykes:

4. My book has been compared to the classics like Reminiscences of a Stock Operator and How I Made $2 million in the Stock Market dozens of times now and if, by chance, these comparisons turn out to be true, my decision to self-publish will support me for the rest of my life. Obviously, the chances are slim, but its still a possibility.

lol more like How I Made (less than) 2% (over four years) in the Stock Market.

Quote from Darkside:

I don't know for sure because I am not going back to search for it...but I am pretty sure that over the past four years your compound return was like 1.5%....

so 4 years ago would have been 2003....where do you get 2005?

I may be wrong as I didn't reference the post...but if you want to really start up about it, I can go back and look..there is plenty of stuff to call you out on.

Exactly! I paid out some big taxes in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. 2006 was my first year down year. I made a big mistake in 2006, but quit saying I only made money in the bubble.

no disrespect, OC. But who are you??? How many copies of that book sold--my guess is way less than 2000. seriously, man, you should be taking lessons from TS--- he is way more famous at a much younger age--this guy is going places, like him or not. this deserves respect, not veiled flaming.

Haven't been on ET for the last few months, and I see that I haven't been missing much.

But I have to ask, Surf are you being serious????

what your missing is it doesn't matter if TS made or lost money. his experience--win or lose is what the book's about and what he is sharing. this experience is valuable( not to mention highly entertaining) and i believe more so due to the loses--- how many FORTUNES did livermore blowup?--see my point?? elite trader is the only group that has traders who never lose, from proflogic's perfect track record to whoever posting win after win after win--- quite funny actually, and far removed from reality.

you mean to tell me you paid so much out in taxes that it left you with a total return of only 1.5%?


must be some magic tax I am not aware of. Was it "tax" you paid to twentysomething in the truck stop stall for services rendered?

WHERE THE F ARE YOU!!?? I REPEAT WHERE THE F ARE YOU!???

so basically you agree that anyone who has ever traded at all is qualified to write a book to share their experiences and should be applauded and revered as an authority?
