Audio Version Of An American Hedge Fund Now Available On Audible, iTunes & Playaway!
Posted by timothysykes on Wed 28th of May, 2008 03:17:41 PM
That’s right, if you enjoyed reading my book An American Hedge Fund, you’re gonna love its audio version! It was actually quite an adventure getting it made as I solicited dozens of voice over artists, finally settling on this guy Brett Barry, who did an incredible job with my book. Have a listen to a sample from the first chapter:
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO MY SAMPLE
Clocking in at just under seven hours, the story will obviously pump you up (especially the first half…before reality sets in), but mixed in with this guy’s soothing voice, well, it’s something definitely worth checking out.
There’s several ways to purchase this audiobook–you can download it on iTunes for $15.95 (I have no link…can you even link directly to something on iTunes?), Audible for $17.47 and even if you don’t have access to an mp3 player (what are you, the Unabomber?), you can even purchase this audiobook that comes loaded on a really cool little mp3 player from Playaway digital for $34.99 (commonly sold in airports and can probly be found in your local library too…if not, you can request they stock this title!) and of course on Amazon for $34.99, which is actually the Playaway version…I think (i’m sure Audible will be listed on there soon).
Now all that’s left is to put the book on Kindle–but do any of you guys even have one?
Now you can Twitter any questions/comments to TIMhelp and obviously you can follow TIM on twitter too!

shorted FPP at 4.53 right before your post about it in the earlier thread. I disagree though, so we’ll see what happens in the next 20 minutes.
Sorry, but i am in love with the SonyReader :-)
Jeff I am still hanging in there with FPP at 4.45, not sure whether to keep overnight or not
I was pretty sure I was seeing the “whites of their eyes.” Now to decide on whether or not to hold my 2000 shares overnight…
Way to hold on Webster. I would have been sweatin’ pretty heavy.
There are a ton of sellers into this close. Big sale orders, I bet people are shorting into the close also.
MXFD spiking probably trying to keep shorts toasted and off of KYUS while they continue to support it..
Gadamm Tim you’re a hard worker! Damm. Im learning so much here!
If that is what is happening then holding overnight might not be bad, but I am a bit leary.
NTI’s strong close is why i’m still rich, semi-rich at least
MXFD now up $5+, nobody with any balls here?
My picks for today did well. I had my hand in some but not all.
ngas down
mela up
ofi down
hgr down
mgf down
lei down
crmt down
rnn down, I was wrong on this one, I thought it was going up again.
I will post some picks for tomorrow before the bell sounds.

I’m holding overnight…just decided. I’m not going to miss out on a $1000 if this thing hits $4. I just can’t settle for $200 when $1K is out there and there is very little risk for me.
Tim, to short it or go long?
Like your style. I am up on the day already so if i get stung a bit in them morning it will not hurt too much. Holding overnight as well
Bought BEXP into the close.
EBS chart looks beautiful
Too late, damn. Anyways, I’m up $400 in my FPP overnight short, hopefully it tanks like it did this morning in early morning trading.
I’ll try it Tim…bought a 50 shares of mxfd at 27.7, right before close.
EBS is already down from close 10.55 to 10.09 afterhours..
hummm
It’s been a while since Ive posted. Is this site turning into an entertainment site? It seems like not much is focused on stocks.
penny stocks r entertainment! but goose while u’ve been away there are about a dozen people here that’ve made several thousand dollars and thats the ultimate goal here timex a million
buying mxfd will certainly be interesting, good luck…i’d be quick to flip it, but then again after calling it perfectly in my morning post i didnt even play it at all :(
Sykes,
Stop being a whimp and put your money where your mouth is. Fund you TOS account with that 500K you have in the bank and show us what you got homeboy. These students of yours are wankers that are riding your coat tails.
Goose this is better than entertainment, this is where the pennystocks RIP.
LEI was great while it lasted, but Visa was even better. Who knew one day you could reimburse yourself while spending money.
Thank you Tim, I haven’t watched CNBC in over a week, no edge there.
Tim, down to business. When I opened up my scottrade account months ago, the options are there for the type of account, Individual, IRA, etc. But also it had option of business.
What type of business can you form that you can soley purchase stock as a business entity?
Any replies are welcomed.

nah Tommy, gotta show people what to do and not to do in order to grow their small accounts…i’m committed
fantom, scottrade is a joke, get your ass over to thinkorswim…business entities are for when u manage others money and other stuff u dont need
Goose, it’s Mavrick here… Tim is in business… to make money. What he offers is commentary on stocks. If you post about any plays you’re looking at, he’ll comment on them for you.
Tim is all about entertainment. That’s what separates him from the pack… can you imagine getting this information from a “suit” type? Fuck I’d cut my own throat!
I love #’s and I love making money, Tim makes it fun!!! =D
I’m working on it Tim, just got my tax check yesterday. Your getting all the credit too.
Thank you, wise one.
QUESTION…
What does scalping mean? How does it work? I understand this is for more experienced traders… but I’d still like to understand.
Simplicity please…
Thanks.
Scalping is just when you profit off of very small price movements. Alot of the time it is easier to determine if a stock will swing 10 cents/share rather than huge moves so people scalp. Pretty damn hard to be an effective scalper with the SEC regulation on small accounts but scalpers can make hundreds of trades a day.
I kind of like Scottrade. Not being able to short sub $5, bb and pinks sucks. They had plenty of FPP to short for a nice $3500 profit.
Here you go noobie; Tim’s strategy is he waits for a stock that is worthless and gets built up on some none sense and he bet’s against it. Whats called short selling. I know it sounds crazy, but believe it me works. I made 300 dollars in little over an hour for my second try. These guys are bringing in 1000k or more sometime in a day.
Catch the stock in the day at its peak, then short it.
The more you read the more you understand. Get the DVD or the book. Also read at least 200 blogs here, next get a marginal account at Think OR Swim. Make sure Tim gets the credit.
Next thing you know your raking in more cash then you can count.

How did I do Tim?
How did we miss this?

“Get the DVD or the book.”
Correction, get the DVD AND the book.
Comment on this please.

Was traveling today but managed to get in some good plays (we’ll see tom) Short FPP the other day and holding till we break 4, I think that price point will send this thing plunging. I also entered into the EBS trade going long into the close for the probably gap up play in the morning but will watch this one carefully because it shed some cents in the after-hours. Will look tonight for potential plays for tom.
Crappy welcome at TOS
Deposited my teeny tiny cad$ 5000 cheque, and US$ 4987 were deposited in my account, while the cad$ has been trading all week long over par. sent an email complaining, and the representative insists that canadian $ is trading over par. $ 100 dollar difference ($25 after the hefty commission) AHHHHHH!!!!
Got screwed, will let know if they correct it. other way I’ll have to suck and live life $25 poorer and with one less year of life because of their mistake and my anger management issues…. AAAHHHH !!!!!!!
Codyhof, next time you fund your account, get a USD$ draft, not doing so just cost me around a $100
typo
“representative insists that canadian $ is trading over par.” should say “representative insists that canadian $ is trading UNDER par.”
Getshorty, I just deposited a 5500 dollar check yesterday and only got charged 13$ for the conversion. Unless the exchange rate did something crazy in between our deposits i cant explain why you got so screwed.
oh and long 250 shares EBS at 10.20 about an hour before the close. crossing fingers for a gap up.
anyone playing BWEN? it spiked today after 4 days of losses, probably bc it was mentioned on CNBC

dumm de dum…
I’m not really digging the audio voice, is it a robot? how come you didn’t do the voice over? Finished the book last week and I’ll hopefully have a review in for you next week. Keep up the good work tim
Tim said,
“fantom, scottrade is a joke, get your ass over to thinkorswim”
No Tim you are absolutely wrong here.
Scott has the BEST hod list going even if they don’t know it and never advertise it.
It is a scrolling hod list that has helped me get gains of over 100% every month for the last 4 months.
Yeah as far as trading it stinks but I just keep the minimum $500 in it just to use that feature.
Use IB or TOS if you are a serious daytrader!
Just started listening to your book. Who was the manager you met in CT, was it Stevie?
Tim should we short NTI or do you think its going to do another run?
Its down .40 after hours. I have no position and its made 3 highs out of last 5 days.
Lionmaster is pushing IMB hard… gonna be interesting to see how much upside thelion.com followers can produce. Could get sketchy.
Hey Codyhof, samething happened to me, the thing is we should have received more in US$ that what we deposited in cad$ since cad$ is trading over par (you can get more than 1 us$ wih 1 cad$, don’t think is sutainable, just temporary caused by oil spike, shorted my ass out of the canadian $ at this point since I have long time horizon and it does not afect my available funds to trade stocks).
I am kind of getting over it.
Getting set to trade while working fulltime, will get a watchlist ready and set stop loss orders to short automatically if they break support.
Short 100 shares of cred, shorted at 16, covered at 15.44, reshorted at 15.77 this one is going down, broken supernova and i am in now hurry, trail order on place to get out on possible spike and then re-short at will, easy to borrow stock.
Me sleepy, me not made for work and trade. Tim, how many red bulls you pop a day? I had 4 coffees and 1 red bull today and could barely make it to 5 pm . And that is taking into account that I actually like my job.
WHat’s up with KOSN?
