    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

Who Is Timothy Sykes And Why Should I Care?

See Tim's full bio HERE. Tim turned a few thousand dollars into a few million by taking small gains time after time on hundreds of volatile penny stocks, discovering that his trading strategy, while consistently successful, works best for those with smaller accounts.

Determined to teach others this PennyStocking trading strategy (learn more HERE), he went back to his original $12,415 roots (already $58,000+ even though the stock market has crashed) to show everyone how to turn thousands into millions, even while having a life (somewhat) and making plenty of mistakes. Currently he is the #1 ranked trader out of 25,000+ on Covestor)

How Can I Consistently Make Money In The Stock Market?

Hard work, Determination and Know How.

Hard work to learn how the greatly misunderstood niche of penny stocks provides opportunities every now and then on which you should pounce.

Determination to seek those probable profits out and know how in order to actually profit from them.

Long story short, wait for stocks that are extremely volatile - for whatever reason - and then aim to take small profits (between 10 and 50% within a few hours, days or weeks) here and there, either from betting on higher or lower prices (yes, you can make $ betting on lower prices, it's called Shortstocking (learn more HERE).

Why Penny Stocks?

As Tim explains in several ALL-NEW instructional DVDs (see them HERE) and in over 2000+ blog posts, penny stocks are the most hyped and corrupt niche in the entire investment world. These two qualities make them the easiest to profit from (legally) because the vast majority of people who play penny stocks are suckers and all-around ignorant people. If you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have a clear advantage and it's like playing basketball against mental midgets.

Where Do You Find Stocks To Trade?

This is the #1 FAQ (see more HERE) and it is answered in THIS instructional DVD.

Of course, that's just a brief introduction - to receive a full education, there is Tim's book An American Hedge Fund which is the story of his remarkable rise and lessons learned.

To truly increase your odds at profit, Tim has designed an entire set of detailed instructional DVDs, covering all the variables that amount to over 24 hours of instruction (see them all HERE)!
