Quote from naifwonder:

EPrado, you say that as if publishing a book is a matter of writing up a few pages and hitting print a thousand times. There is more to it than that or we would all become successful authors. And yes, I said "successful" since I am almost certain that this book will sell nicely - enough to make him some nice bank.

Eprado is right- publishing a book is that simple. You can self publish a book as long as you put up the money. I know that for a fact. I could write a book right now, but why the hell would I do that?

Which also makes me wonder, why the hell is timm(g)ay doing that?

TIMMMMMMMAAAAYYYYY.....

Everytime I see that scene with his date with the blonde at the sushi bar cracks me up. That conversation moment about young guys working in this industry was hilarious.

Ha ha. Tim revels and is fueled by you attacking him. It is another form of inspiration for him. You guys! Some folks are just like that. Being at peace will cause more turmoil than being on your feet all the time.

That's cool. I am fueled by ripping him a new one, so I guess that is a symbiotic relationship! Yippe skippee

from the new book?

As for you SiSePuedge, here is my "rationale" for wanting to hear him out first. You state that an autobiography would be greatly biased which is not far fetched. However, are not statements made by those who hate the guy equally if not more biased? I am not endorsing nor denouncing the man. I just want to properly hear both sides before I make a decision. You have the right to classify that as density. I consider such an approach to be pivotal to objectivity and rationality.

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST READ HIS FUCKING POSTS IN THIS AND THE "HEDGE FUND BOOK" THREAD?!

People responded to his appearances on television and on this forum...we didn't just decide not to like him you twit. You are dense, this post and the 5 before it kind of prove that.

With that said, I just received another great blurb from another highly respected financial blogger:

<B>"The book is fast-paced and keeps the reader wanting more. Great lessons for beginners, and pearls of wisdom for experienced traders. A new classic and required reading for traders and individual investors."
-- Faisal Laljee, Portfolio Manager and author of stocksandblogs.com</B>

Oh wow, that guy is like the king of stocksandblogs.com and also the best sandwich maker at the Subway restaurant on Hollywood and Vine...he also writes a good line of bullshit apparently.

You're really getting some high level captain's of finance to back you on this one...who's next? You should ask the guy who makes my lattes, he has quite the vocabulary and can probably whip you up a nice little review the way he can make a vanilla latte.

Hmm. That would include my post as well. While I have not seen any of the TV shows and, therefore, cannot comment in this regard, I can comment on your apparently insatiable need to bash this fellow with the very same condemnations over and over again. Methinks thou dost protest too much. If he made ridiculous performance claims, I would share in your outrage. As for mere arrogance, I think you will find no lack of it here at ET, so why focus the might of your heavy and fearsome hammer on a single nail over and over again?

Thanks for the words but I didn't mean the 5 posts literally preceding that one. I meant his 5 previous posts. Cheers and hope that clears up the confusion.

Quote from naifwonder:

I would definitely have to agree with that. I just finished my sophomore year of college and when I first started trading, I also got arrogant. Eventually I went through a draw-down period, got smacked back to reality and matured out of it. I am sure that you have done the same Tim. Anyway, looking forward to the book.

Exactly--we learn from our mistakes and move on. That's all I'm preaching here, but people can't seem to understand a trader wanting to use their losses to help others avoid them! Its a totally foreign concept!

Quote from EPrado:

geez Longhorns.....he is another "Fund Manager" ....just like Tim.


It's funny how anyone who gives a good review is well respected.....a giant in the industry.

I would assume that if the New York Times decides to review his book they will give it a raving review in fear of losing their status as a major publication.

Actually, I've only targeted bloggers, fund managers, and a few key journalists so far. The fund managers that have given me blurbs have asked to either remain anonymous (due to those wonderful industry regulations!), or wait until press time to use their names. The journalists won't comment until press time so for better or worse, my reviews are in the hands of the bloggers and that's just the way I like it.

Here's the million dollar question - how many pages will this thread go? I can't believe we are at 55 pages!

The ironic part is that for all the haters on this thread, you are keeping the product that you already hate at the forefront of a highly visited website. Seems counter-productive if you don't want to see the book succeed...

Who hates it? I think it's hilarious...the more Tim posts the more of a douche bag I think he is...I find it funny. I love his flip-flopping.

I think you're giving this website a bit too much credit really.
