Will you buy timmay's hedge fund book?

Quote from Thunderdog:

I think that the book reviewer may have overstepped a tad here, wouldn't you say?

Harp as a 'cornerstone' reviewer was addressed as a fraud earlier in the thread and Timmay continues to use his boilerplate review as validation of merit and quality! Please google 'Grady Harp' you will find that praise from Harp is not worth very much... Grady is playing the same 'attention whore' game that Timmay does.

Audited Cilantro/Sykes "short biased hedge fund" performance:

2006 Return: -25.83%

2007 YTDJan-Jul: -10.26%

Jan2006-Jul2007: -36.06%


Yes, those are audited numbers...Sykes has LOST 36% over the last 19 months!!!!

Sykes hasn't made money in almost 5 years, and is now trying desperately to sucker money off unsuspecting newbies.

Do not buy this kid's book. He is nothing but a snake oil salesman.

and now he is writing a book

From Timmays site:

*************************************************
$2 trillion is invested in the hedge fund industry, and yet, due to industry regulations, the general public knows little about them. Forget about billion dollar blow ups and stories written by managers who were already wealthy. This is the story of a hedge fund created from scratch.
Timothy turned $12,000 of Bar Mitzvah gift money into $2 million trading thousands of stocks from 1999-2002, managed the #1 Short Bias Hedge Fund from 2003-2006, starred in the television documentary Wall Street Warriors, and appeared regularly on CNBC all before the age of 26. This is no BS "How To" book-- it's the first realistic look at the world of microcap stock trading and startup hedge funds. It's been a wild ride. Timothy's 'Rocky'-like story will educate and inspire everyone.

************************************************

Now, if I didn't know better, I would say that Timmay is insinuating that he is a successful trader.

Since we know how much he loses and loses and loses...I would say he is misleading the public with his implications of being successful.

The bad thing is: Rocky was a tale of someone who went from the streets into victory..Timmay you were a spoiled, sheltered, little rich kid whose mommy and daddy gave him lots of money to play with and got lucky in the big tech boom.

That is not very "Rocky-like" if I do say so myself.

You insinuate to everyone you are some hugely successful trader, but yet the facts show otherwise...

then once that is pointed out, you rush to the scene pointing out that you aren;t really saying you're a good trader...

what gives? You are full of shit dude.

Plain and simple.

I mean, really, your short biased fund is actually losing money like CRAZY in a CRASH!

Come on man, really Timmay. That is sad.

Actually, Rocky lost the title bout, but his story is still inspirational. I just finished the advance copy Tim sent me and it's the same kind of story. He fully admits his mistakes and actually details them 100%. Tim has said he reveals everything and I can confirm that he definitely does keep his word.

Think about it, Tim isn't advertising the end of the book just as Rocky didn't advertise that he lost the title bout. This is just common sense, but Tim's story somehow inspires losers to try to twist everything around, which is sad.

Oh, and Tim started out from nothing, too, and details how he made $ even after the tech boom. I'm so sick of these lies from people who know nothing!

And what's really funny is that people on here think a 30% drawdown i s the end of the world. Please! Two of my favorite books are by Neiderhoffer and Curits Faith and they both lost 100% of their capital!!!

Tim haters be gone!

uhh are you on drugs?

Rocky didn\'t lose the damn title bout. What\'s wrong with you? Jackass.

The fact is, on Tim\'s site he touts himself as some hardcore kickass trader...and fails to mention how sad and pathetic he really is.

To see him ADVERTISE the WHOLE truth...may change my perspective of him.

Tim is just a little rich kid whose mommy and daddy gave him some money to play with and he happened to be playing with it during a tech boom. Which BY AUDITED STATEMENTS happens to also be about the only time he ever made money.

I\'m just saying....

see, the thing I don\'t understand...is what the hell is there for Tim to reveal?

Who the hell cares what he has to say, when we have nifty little statements like this to cut through the smoke and mirrors little rich kids like Tim try to use on unsuspecting consumers/wannabe traders!

Hhahaha, the fact that you don't even have the brains to recognize that Rocky did in fact lose the title bout in 'Rocky' shows how stupid you are. Keep posting, anybody that dumb who talks trash about Tim is actually giving Tim a compliment. LOL--

ET should kick you off this site and you should be publicly beaten for not knowing the plot to 'Rocky'. What kind of American are you?

which bout are you referring to? The draw with Apollo Creed, in the first Rocky?

anyways, you sound strikingly like Tim....

P.S. a draw is not a loss
