You think a 35% approval rating is good?
Hell, I agree.....just watch CNN, they slam Bush when he only has 35% approval, acting like it's the end of the world. So I would venture to say 35% isn't good. But hey SiSi, these guys obviously have deeper issues than just misconceptions of numbers.

Please delete this.
You have reached defcon 6 on the moron-o-meter.
We need to get you back down to a 5.
Too much time at level six and you could contaminate the innocent people on here.
Then we all will become drooling idiots like yourself.

I am not interested in writing. Are you good at repairing space shuttle components during solar walks? Probably not- but that doesn't mean that you are a moron just because you're not interested in it....
nope, you are a moron for many other reasons, just not that one.
If you think I am kissing ass, then you probably couldn't find your own if you had a stick with a mirror at the end of it. I was trying to add a bit of balance to what has become an embarrassingly childish exchange among supposedly adult traders. You mature gents have made your points again and again. Say something new. I endeavored to say something new in each of my posts in this thread. Have you?

They're both such cheerleaders and they just blindly cheerlead for no reason. Tim made money in the bubble era and shortly after, great, I dont' rag on him for that. But he's lost a lot of it and has a 1.5% compound profit in the last 4 years. I have a problem with that when he still uses his original gains to sell his story. Couple his deceitful way of pretending like he's writing the book to help people rather than to try and squeeze some money out of his 15 minutes of fame and in my opinion anyone who cheers for him is mentally retarded.
I just don't see how you could add in all the factors and come out with the idea that Tim deserves an audience of any sort if you know that he has turned a measly 1.5% profit in the last 4 years. Not to mention that the correct figures by anyone who has actually made money could possibly be $12k into $1.1M...most of us who have gains that we've achieved without luck are happy to assert our values after tax.
He's writing a book sharing his experience.
If that doesn't have value for you, fine DON'T BUY THE BOOK.
For many others (far more than this site will see) it does, and we will.

They must have been at Tim's big dorm party (the one he threw after getting rid of his roomate) and drank the bug juice. They are now his zombies.

Hell, I knew people in my tiny little hometown that threw money into the market in the tech bubble and made off with big money...and they seriously didn't know shit about the market...I didn't ever check to see if any of them wrote books about their genius for doing it, though.
Sharing his experiences about what?
He's admitted on thestreet.com that he had luck. He has turned a whopping 1.5% profit over the last 4 years. He has said that what a company does isn't even important. He hasn't been able to make money trading recently so why would you want to learn what he knows since all he knows for the past few years is how to lose/not make money?!
What exactly is so interesting about Tim to you? The money he made was made for the most part about 5 years ago. What intrigues you so much about someone who made that money that long ago and has barely made any since then?
I'm really curious about this. What makes his story any more interesting than reading journals on this website?
