Just finished reading your book… I like all the details on how you lost money rather than those where you were making money, not because I am anti-Tim, but because it makes realize that making mistake, huge mistake is really part of the game. Thanks Tim! Keep watchin ya!
EXACTLY! That’s why I always say I learned more from losing hundreds of thousands of dollars than I did from making millions. I’m not ashamed/embarrassed, I’ve been Forrest Gumping my way through this all along so I was due for a fall. The good nes is that it makes me infinitely stronger/wiser/more conservative, so while it definitely sucks, I’m very thankful to have learned those lessons at such a young age so I can apply, apply and teach, teach them!
About Fools…I was a member and while they do have some good ideas for stocks, I have to say that their picks have gotten worse and worse and have taken me completely out of the value investing world. Can’t even begin to tell you how badly their stocks did in the last 6 months. If they were such great value stocks, should they really bomb this much more than the market??? Hummm, on to speculation…
Finished your book as well, LOVED IT, and am eyeing your DVD. But first, must digest the idea of the $297…one step at a time.
Nice February month on Covestor, Keep it up!
One thing, you were a lucky boy! I don’t deny that your strategy is valid (it’s proven anyway), but you got lucky at the very beginning, you made a lot before you got the big hit. A lot of newer traders get caught in the very beginning, confidence swept away and out of the game. I wonder what will you be doing now if you are not the successful Tim right now (ok, you lost a lot of money, you closed your fund bla bla bla but I still think that you are successful up till now). Having a job at Wall Street? A high school teacher?
By the way, I am Singapore. I’ll be damn excited if I could see you at the ATIC in the future. Check this out, http://www.theatic.net/2008/index.php?city=sg
Motley Fool, TheStreet.com, all these media outlets only care about hits, none of them do very well with their picks because they simply just have to write about the most actively traded stocks. Thats why I see soo much opportunity in getting less hits/traffic but covering stuff that actually works!
Yes I was successful at the start and for all my mistakes, I’ 30% off y highs. Boo hoo, the keys to my success are hard work and honesty. I still work 20 hour days and whether my strategy continues to outperform or not, people will continue to come to me because they know I hold nothing back. My work is my life and nothing is more fulfilling than cutting through all the frauds/BS out there who market their way to popularity. All I can do is write about and teach what I know to be true, for better or worse. In time, honesty shall prevail
