"Thankfully Timmy couldn't get laid here,
so he ended up leaving school after a brief period.

I would hate to say I graduated from the same university as him."

"I can't believe I was duped into believing this kid and his "audited return" from 1999-2000.

I made a paltry 1.5% on my money over the last 4 years...and this year I'm down - 8%.

I pulled my money out because Timmy is a snake oil huckster.

Tim even had the balls to try to sell me a book!!!

Who wants to read a book about how to underperform a savings account??"

"Some day I want to be a trader just like Timmy.

His 3 year return of -2.54% is something I can only dream of.

I've blown 4 trading accounts (and 3 teenage boys) just in the last 6 months.

Even worse, I just got fired from McDonalds for being a smelly disgusting slob. Now I just sit at home in my parents basement and troll the internet.

Are you being serious?

Losing 2.54% over a three year period is hardly something to be happy about.

Just like all snake oil salesman, Timmy tries to turn it into something good.

PATHETIC.

Regardless of your Fund "category", the big question is will your poor performance encourage new investors into the Fund, assuming that you wish to keep hedge fund open.

Underperforming T-bills at much higher risk over the past four years is not going to inspire new investors (again assuming you want to continue as a "Fund Manager").
