Will you buy timmay's hedge fund book?

Quote from TimothySykes:

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

Your -10% loss this year is due to a long position only? Your loss in July 2007 is due to a long position only? Please, your nose is growing.

You know why successful short sellers don't need to be tracked by Barclays? Because they are legit market hedges and are able to raise money from smart investors who want a good hedge in case of market downturn. Obviously, your past and potential investors have done their homework and know you are not a good short seller and are not a good hedge. And they spoke by not giving you money and withdrawing money from your "fund".

I disagree with you that short selling isn't a great strategy if done correctly. If you were a truly successful short seller, investors would and will flock to you as everyone is looking for a quality market hedge.

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.

I don't know if my story is unique or not because in this industry nobody shares all their stories!!! Hopefully my book's success will inspire a few others to not wait 15-20 years to tell their stories.

I think it's funny that can't comprehend the amount of attention this TV show has garnered me. Maybe you'd like to answer the 50+ emails/day I still get from people that see me on TV and want to know more--I wrote this book for them.

Seriously man, I'm giving you a reading assignment, look through all the accusations and BS on these threads and see the few messages that give hints as to my losses. Even thought the details are scarce, they'll help you from wasting my time with your ignorant accusations.

Quote from Reaver:

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.

Again, your lack of research is astounding. I already have my own scholarship:

It's for all talented people in the Tulane community. Last year's winner was a girl who build big ass boats from scratch and now she wants to teach underprivileged kids her craft, very Mr. Miagi-esuqe:

You can be sure I'll be adding to it with profits from my book

Ignorant accusations? Your nose is growing Tim. You are gonna blame your entire loss for 2006-2007 and your poor monthly performances for each month of 2007 ALL on a single long position?? And this is a "short biased" fund? LMAO. Newsflash buddy--you are truly a lying loser.

Hahaha, this is the funniest post I've ever read. Seriously man, my book is available for pre-order right now and will be widespread within a month, do you really think I'm going to blatantly lie now after claiming to want to bring honesty to the table? You should join Sisepeude at logic class.

I am not talking about something as self-aggrandizing as a scholarship in your name.

Do something with humility to offset your abrasive personality. Go for balance.

Not trying to sound crazy or all zen and shit, but really.

Same reason Deion Sanders was such a prick....he always talked about how good he was....and he got passed up and left behind....hell, he may be on TV but nobody cares about him...he's just an old hat on TV.

What can I learn from a guy who can't make money in his own so-called specialty? I don't wanna learn how to be a snake oil salesman and sell books, I want to make money trading. So I already voted, "I wouldn't pay a nickel for your crap".

Your investors withdrawals and the lack of interest in new investing in your "fund" is ALL I need to know. To me, those ARE ALL the details.

BTW-- you sure showed Chenos by saying his track record isn't all that great. I think he slipped on his yacht laughing at this statement. You can now add jealousy of successful short sellers to your resume.

My book details 9 years of wild trading. To say that you aren't open to learning from a fellow trader reeks of naivety, especially when the few people that have read it say it's a new classic comparable to 'Reminiscences of a Stock Operator'. Good luck getting better at trading when you're not open to learning from somebody who lays it all on the line.

Tim, assuming one could learn from you...yes that would be a true statement...

But the variable that supports that premise (you being worthwhile model) is shaky at best....and well...we know what the majority here think.

Stop being so full of yourself.
