Now that you have gotten on my good side, I should point out that this poll is not one having to do with an approval rating. Your context is incorrect. However, as an indication of potential market penetration, it is actually too good to be true and cannot be taken at face value. You really should know what you are talking about before you attempt to impress us with your dismissive posturing. You are embarrassing yourself without quite knowing it, Inspecteur Clouseau.
Will you buy timmay's hedge fund book?

That's OK T-Dog, everyone else saw that you were being impartial and trying to insert some objectivity what is little more than a he-said-this and another-one-said that spat over the merits of a book that some guy wrote detailing his experiences in the marketplace.
Like I said at the beginning, I can always use a good entertaining read on the train, so I'll be plunking the loot down for it. If there are any trading tidbits that come from reading it and I can apply to myself, so much the better.
Good trading,

Quote from SiSePuede!:
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?
You asked an honest question, I gave an honest answer in my post to T-Dog.
Honestly, everything else is pretty much moot. After all the mudslinging clears, we're going to be traders making trades, and that's the sum total of it.
Good trading,
Jimmy Jam
Except for Timmay... he will be doing the book signing tour and as many talk shows as he can whore himself on to. Who has time to trade when you are on TV following the guy who sells Cures THEY Don't Want You To Know About.
No, actually you didn't answer any of my questions and if you're so excited about Tim's book I'd like to know why. I can give you a number of reasons why I think the book will be a piece of shit. Yet you don't seem to have any solid reasoning as to why you're cheerleading so hard for the book.
Please answer the questions. Also, if you're such a trader I'd love to see a screenshot of your buying power and account values. Just for fun.
I am not bashing anyone but being honest.
You think when the book comes out Timmay is going to be parked in front of a computer trading his money or the additional $5k his outside clients contributed? He wants to promote the book and do a TV show in FOX.
If you were an outside investor and you saw the manager of the hedge fund you were being marketed had a 1.5% compounded result and was all over TV promoting a book and doing a weekly show, would you feel confident in his abilities. Other fund managers who pop up on TV have big organizations so their occasional appearance is not an issue.
Just be honest here, if Tim spends as much time studying how to trade for real on solid fundies or techies as well as risk management (that is the thing that prevents a 50% drawdown hopefully) as he does in promoting a book which comes and goes and there are 100s of books out there, he might have longevity.
yeah, your probably correct about mcdonalds--- just an example.35% saying they will buy the book, from this site, is <b>OUT OF SIGHT</b>positive.
i hope your understanding of the market is better than statistics/marketing.
