Honestly, I've made a ton of newbie mistakes and not too many people want to invest with you when lose 1/3 of assets.
Thank you for the honest answer. So why say that you have the "#1 short bias fund" when you know that isn't true. You know that there are short bias funds with much better track records and alot more money, but these funds are not "tracked" by whomever has made you #1. You know that's the truth.
So why constantly say you are #1, when potential investors have already spoken with their money (and lack of investing) into your fund. Money obviously has been withdrawn from your fund, so even your former investors do not believe you are #1 in your "specialty" class or they would've stayed with you as a "hedge"..

I was and forever will be the #1 Short Bias Fund from 2003-2006 (even with a 26% down year!!!) and I'm still #3. I'm not saying short selling is the best strategy (obviously, it's been far from it), but I have made $1 million or so from short selling so say what you will, but my book will be one of the first to detail a successful short seller.

With 75,000+ members, I'd say this is pretty much public Tim.
Somebody's chicken!! Balk Balk Balk. It's funny how big and tough everybody is when they're protected by a screen name, but when I try and draw them out in person, they fold. Typical--stop wasting my time with your cowardly ways you little chicken

What is it that you are wanting to debate? All I would do is hold up a big ass sign that had your "fund's" results on it.
Is that what you'd really want Tim?
Really?
Seriously, that is really about all I would have to say on the subject. That is my final answer Regis.
You're whiny rich spoiled kid whos mommy and daddy gave him money for his widdw birfday pawty and you made some money in the tech boom....
I guess it was either that or you having a spot on "my sweet 16".
But really Tim. All I would say on the subject is really nothing- I'd just hold up a sign that had your results on it.
There is nothing more I could say about it Tim. Really.

Haha, you think getting $12k makes me spoiled. Please son, I've made everything from near scratch. You can hold up your little sign, but I want to debate you about whether or not my story has any educational / entertainment value. You just can't seem to understand that numbers don't tell the whole story, my book does in an entertaining fashion. All I'm trying to do is tell my story, so if you really think I don't deserve to have the chance to tell my story, then you can criticize. Until you know the details, your accusations are hollow.

Tim I thought you said you are honest? You know you are not the #1 rated short fund, not even close. There are many short sellers and short bias funds with far greater assets and far greater track records. They are just not tracked. A few names like Rocker and Chenos come to mind. Ever hear of them? There have also been recent books that have chapters documenting truly "successful" short sellers who make money every year.
Please stop saying you have the #1 short bias fund from 2003-2006, you know it is a lie. And stop saying you made $1 million short selling when in totality, you have barely broken even according to your figures. You are lying again. And why lie? I thought you have an "honest" story to tell that doesn't need fudging.

News flash buddy--Chanos' track record isn't that great. He's got a nice incentive fee where he gets paid even when his fund loses money (as long as it beats the inverse blah blah blah). According to Barlcays, my fund was the #1 ranked short bias fund from 2003-2006. Sure, it's possible that others might've beaten me, but they're not disclosing their numbers so they don't have the title. I'd rather make money every year and keep my mouth shut, but that's not my reality so I gotta take what I can get.
As for making approximately $1 million short selling, that is 100% true. If you knew any of the details or researched my downfall, you'll see that my main loss occurred on a LONG POSITION. Do your DD man

I do know the details. Minus 36% in 19 months, etc, ad nauseam.
My point is that anyone who has lost tons of money in the markets can tell the same stories. That's all.
I just don't know why you overestimate everyone's desire to hear your story in particular. It is very generic.
Of course, my pumping yourself up and making yourself a popular figure, you will increase the sales of your book to newbies and those poor souls who don't know any better....
So I guess that is what you're doing...
The moment I hear you are donating all proceeds to charity Tim, I will respect you and buy a copy of your book and tell all my friends to do it (not that I have any friends, mind you)
No shit. That proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are truly interested in helping others and I am fine with that, because no one is perfect....
But until then, you are just like everyone else that sells trading bullshit.
Donate your money to the humane society or something, donate it to causes like putting people like Michael Vicks asses behind bars for what they do. Help starving kids in big cities, abused kids, shit like that.
Until then YOUR words are hollow.
You wanna be popular? Do that kind of stuff. Don't underestimate the benefits of being an upstanding and honorable person.
