Will you buy timmay's hedge fund book?

[dividend]

Would I buy the book? How much $ is the book?

I clicked on the link on the webpage but it takes me to some myspace page...

Could be more attractive in ebook format.

You are a liar and are well on the road to being just another snake oil salesman.

Agreed.

I can't think of anything less i'd like to do on JULY 4th between 4-5pm than watch CNBC !! Guess that's why nerdboy is on at that time.

While these 2 threads have been hilarious, i'm afraid that each time they stall, nerdboy timmay will ressurect them in the futile hopes that any publicity is good publicity. I see he's starting that already.

I guess he doesn't realize this is ET, and no one is really reading this stuff except a few of us.
Here's an honest review of his "book":

Dude, it gets worse ...he is on FOX. How appropriate... a network impersonating a news org, and a pinhead impersonating a hedge fund manager.

Quote from Kaempferrand:


Honestly what I don't understand is what is the purpose of that Sandra gal. Other than being the eye candy of the show, she doesn't really do jack. All she does is connect points A to B together introducing up and coming managers and connecting them to wealthy individuals and institutions. She doesn't even trade at all.

I hate that sandra chick. Decent face, decent upper body, but her legs are fat! Watch her in a dress/skirt. Her legs are disproportionally bigger than the rest of her body.

Also, one of my lady friends commented, "What the hell? Does she wear her hair like that EVERY day?"

Yes. She does.

Nice

See if you can keep track of how many times they mention that he took "$12,000 of bar mitzvah money and turned it into a fully audited pre-tax sum of $1.6 million".

I'm setting the over/under at 3 1/2...the book is open.

I hope Cavuto asks him how he's done over the last 5 years. Would love to see Timmy bullshit his way around that answer.

No need to hate the playa, hate the game. I would say over 80% of the posters here do not make money trading.

Do you count Timmy's 5 year return of 1.5% as "making money trading"?

Yeah really-That's actually losing money due to inflation. LOL

Nice estimate mde, 80%, did you actually go through threads and deduce this number yourself?

Then again, even that is the case...the people losing money here aren't publishing books saying how great they are.......

It's one thing to BS on a post (even though it's still lame) but totally different to be on CNBC talking noise and trying to lie and actually make money from lying and selling snake oil.

One is misleading, the other is fraudulent

Longhorns may be due the funniest award in the funniest thread. These timmay threads get my pick for funniest ever on ET, and longhorns brief exchange here still has me laughing:

Quote from TudorJones:

Yeah.. and I stand behind the statement that I trade basically without taking ANY risk.

Quote from Longhorns:

Translation:

"I paper trade".
