Oh, you mean my audited track record that show....

No, we are talking about you leaving out your continued pathetic 2007 performance in your book on "The Numbers" table (page 234).

Your readers need to know that you continued to lose money right up to publication DOWN -10.3% 2007 YTD (DOWN -36% since Jan2006). It is important because it shows you have not improved return performance, after "learning from your mistakes".

(Its your MUTANT Idiot gene, and lack of Lithium....)

Stop taking one page and one graphic out of context, if that's the best you can do, you've got NOTHING!

Have you read it completely or just looked at certain pages to see which sentence you could jam together to make me look bad?

Tim, I read the book. Its mediocre as a story. However, it is not a "classic" and your story is not "Rocky-like". I know the "stock operator" in title is supposed to confuse book searches for Livermores story. Might help sales, but needless to say, you are not Livermore either.

You come across like a hyper/immature/video player-type Trader, which worked for you for a few years; then the law of averages caught up with you. Your "return to the mean" continues as pointed out by very poor 2006-07 performance. Maybe you will make up the -36% drawdown, and maybe you will instead be a TV finance personality. I wish you the best, and do not hate you. (There is nothing about you for us to be jealous about..)

Wow, the Cygnus thing (250K loan etc.) is something so idiotic that you really got what you deserved. However, I feel sorry for your parents and other investors. Your mistakes are pretty blatant throughout the book and I highly doubt that your mistakes would be repeated by any other "hedge fund" manager, or by ET members.

So, this book thing is boring to me, and these are my final comments about it....
