sykes cover 1x1 5 The Latest Glowing Book Review For An American Hedge Fund

It’s reviews like this that really make me proud. Forget that this guy thoroughly enjoyed my book for a second—more importantly, you’ll see he was even more pleased that somebody else in this joke of an industry shared similar experiences as him. I call this a joke of an industry only because of the ridiculous SEC regulations that divide us and prevent us from sharing our experiences openly. To cut through all the misconceptions caused by this regulatory BS—that’s the goal of my book and website…thank God it looks like I’m succeeding.

Take your stinking paws off us you damn dirty SEC!

(The views expressed above are solely my own and do not reflect the views of the book reviewer below)

I just wanted to thank you for recommending (and writing) your book (An American Hedge Fund)
I just finished it a few minutes ago.
I am not a big reader,
And yet I read it cover to cover in 2 sittings!
It was fantastic!

Honestly, I felt like the book was detailing my own life.
I am a trader as well, and have a startup brokerage/trading firm.
Although firms like mine are not as regulated as far as advertising, etc, the way that Hedge Funds are,
I totally understand what you went through.
When I was reading about you spending money on clients,
Wining and dining, traveling, upgrading the wardrobe, car, house, etc,
I was like “wow, that is exactly what I have been doing”!
Everything from “playing the part” to Wall Street Warriors…amazing!

I couldn’t agree more with the points that you made about trading.
Discipline is #1, and ego and emotions have no place in successful trading.
Unfortunately, I have made all of the same mistakes that you have made, (including investing in a soon to be public company) and probably more.
However, it was refreshing to read an honest account of your mistakes as well.
I guess it made me feel as though I wasn’t the only one making these mistakes.
I really do not know any traders other than myself,
And I definitely do not know anyone who has tried to raise capital for their new, small firm.
So I guess hearing someone else’s detailed story gave me reinforcement that I am not alone in my successes and failures in the financial world.

As I had mentioned, I trade futures and commodities for my clients.
However, I am interested in your DVD for penny stock trading (PennyStocking)
for my personal account.
Due to start up costs for my firm, my personal trading account has taken a serious hit,
But soon it will be fat again, and I am looking to broaden my horizons with your strategy.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks.
I thoroughly enjoyed your book.
I wish you the best.

Christopher Conti, President
Conti Capital Investments

    Just checking in. Great improvements to the site and review Timmay! I'm watching IXYS and BRCO for the first down day, and my ebof pick from last week did decide to start a small run. Besides that, I'm pretty much watching your every move and learning by osmosis 'til I break down like GBR and buy the DVD!
  • Fantom
    I will be getting the book to include it in my research. Because of you I became a market junkie or should I say the market Fantom. No sleep, and I'm sneaking around at work to make trades. The strategy is great. PennyStocking is the way to go.
    I've sent the site to friends, but some people are none believers.
    I've even went and re-watched Wall Street Warriors and watching the new season.

    Somewhere there's a stock that's ready to jump...
    and the Tim Warriors be there to watch you fall.

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)!
