But the last point, the I am a trader in the truest sense in that I am willing to trade professions to adapt to my environment., what the heck does that have to do with the markets or trading? To me that just really sounds like a cop out. I do respect that you have at least managed to find something else to do with yourself, that your not laying around feeling sorry for yourself and not doing anything like a lot of people do after a blowout, it does speak to your work ethic..but I do think that if you spent the time on your trading that your now spending on being famous you could probably raise money again. btw, I liked your book.

Good post, let's see, what is trading all about? Profiting from market opportunities, correct? How is taking advantage of the fact that the general public knows so little about hedge funds and financial speculation anything different? Why must a trader only limit himself to profiting from stock trades, why can't he go out and profit from an information trade?

He still hasn\'t answered this one.....
And he won't....I just put my review on Amazon for 3rd time.
And I know it will get deleted, but that's ok. I will put it on there as many times as necessary.
Just because he's being a dickhead.
Anyway, nice to see the fall was much faster and deeper than rise.
Just like a bad stock.
OOops.
But, like I said in my review, it gives me hope. After reading such a bad book, it gives me hope - maybe I could do better. I sure as hell have (and many others here) more interesting crap to write about.
But anyway, was hoping this retard thread was dead and buried, but I see the circus is back in town. Yuck.
Timmay/Amazon Book Review(deleted 3 times):
I'm not going to keep this short, since 3 of my previous (negative) reviews were deleted (yes, deleted). Obviously someone wants to make it look like most reviews are good (cough). Whatever.
Book is boring, there are about few dozen books JUST LIKE THAT around, and most probably with more interesting stories.
With that said, the book doesn't offer anything interesting. From my point of view (which is trading, and not blogging or whatever most of these reviewers do), Tim is simply not a good trader. Rookie mistakes cost him (other people's) money, and he still has about 10-20 year to try trading before (if he does) he writes a book thats deserving from trading point of view.
Now, if you look at the book from some kind of life journey point of view, same disappontment - the writer is simply too young to deliver earth shattering stories. Ok, I live in NY and been trading for past 5 years? Only thing encouraging about the whole deal, is that found that I could probably come up with better and more interesting stories.
Maybe I could write a better book, there is hope.

I am sure they moderate your reviews personally since you are such a top seller for them.
yeah right, we know you\'re the one reporting the reviews Tim.
I report factually inaccurate reviews. They decide whether my case holds any water. But since you guys are gonna keep adjusting your reviews until you get it right, I will just let them be. I have a strong feeling they will be overwhelmed by positive reviews in the long run. I could be wrong, we will see.

Don't count on it Tim, when people see the negative reviews they tend to follow the pack and leave more negative reviews. You must work hard to remove all the factually biased reviews. Good Luck.
