Tell Me What Rewards You Want For TIMbucks
Posted by Pallian (Moderator) on Sun 3rd of Aug, 2008 05:21:58 PMMy apologies for the delay, just waaaaay too much going on lately. For those who don’t know, TIMbucks is a rewards program meant to try to bribe people to participate/comment more. The plan is to giveaway away little gifts like TIMalerts subscriptions, autographed copies of An American Hedge Fund, Apple iPod Shuffles, stuff like that.
Now is the time to figure out exactly what we’re gonna giveaway, most due to a really cool little website, Reebles.com, sponsoring TIMbucks, helping this cheap Jew give this stuff away.
Leave a comment below with what you want so I can put together an official TIMbucks rewards chart, the top guy will receive the best rewards, then 2 and 3, then 3-5, etc…

Prize #1) Sleepover date with Tim’s new girlfriend.
Prize #2) Dinner date with Tim’s new girlfriend.
Prize #3) Motorboat with Tim’s new girlfriend.
G.F. that was funny!!!!!
But since I’m married, instead of motorboating
I’ll take a free copy of “an american hedgefund”
make some funny original trading relating t-shirts with some quotes on them. quotes making fun of value investors, scam companies, etc. i’d wear it… (plus it’s free advertising for you)
Can I get a T-shirt with your head spitting out those crazy dollar symbols? If not, I think a more realistic goal would be iTunes gift cards or your book. You get to promote again if you do that.
yea i guess giftcards…that’s boring though :(, especially with itunes when we can still get music for free on the internet
amazon.com cards
O.K., I’ll motorboat but no sleep over
“Reebles.com Welcomes You…

We understand that it is awkward to ask for money as a gift. We make it safe, easy, and tasteful.
So if you like cash…”
STOP BEING CHEAP AND JUST GIVE US CASH TIMMY! IT’S WHATS REEBLES.COM WOULD WANT!
AND MOTORBOAT
LMAO GF…
oh god….
whew.
Dude, it could be like a buncha stuff…
- Your book, DVD, or the alerts is the no brainer,
But you could have “cheaper” rewards like 1 (or maybe 3) free Tim trades. A trade being the cost of the commission with a free TIM alert. dunno how this would work out if you alert wasn’t profitable. just make it a requirement to submit an account statement stating the commission on the date.
TIM Leverage - TIM matches you investment to double your return (or covers your loss, limitations could apply)…
TIM Treasures - TIM gives you shares for the stock to short… no more “sorry, we don’t have any ZYX available” from Paul at think or swim…
TimTV - Lost Episode - A sneak peek into how TIM finds his stocks with a secret, “livestock” like 1 on 1 hardcore session. or something similar.
TimWear - Custom shirt with TIM and a tire pump inflating a “stock chart” (candle chart, no bars or lines - they’re for pussies) and you could be like on the phone asking to reserve some shares. the stock symbol could be like the guys initials or name…
or you could even have:
TimTransport - tim buys you a ride. An old $500 - 1987 Plymouth mini van that doesn’t run. Maroon
i would have to say
books from you all time favorites.
any of your products
giftcards
lunch with tim in NY or at any of your college tour stops
How about, I gotta admit. I didn’t see that coming.
Maybe I’m too jacked-up but that was funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ivegotstylekid is right Tim, the best way to grow your community is by educating them. Give away some of the books you recommend in TimReads, Market Wizards, The Disciplined Investor. Stuff like that.
eric and style do have a great idea, If you gave me a book that i knew you recommend (and i didn’t have to find and buy - god im lazy) i would read it… probably twice… and i hate reading books.
…thats why I think something like a livestock session sounds great, even if its like 20 minutes, if you walked in with something to be taught… a simple pattern, level II Tips, blah blah - a real purpose driven 15 minutes, would be invaluable - and people could buy “tickets” for the show like once a month
Books for sure from your top 20.
Chance to win a round of golf with you.
Chance to win a trip to NYC for a friday taping of Livestock.
Gift Cards
TimWear
Tim - I want you to come to my place for Thanksgiving and stroke my Mom’s hair while you say “pretty pony, pretty pony.” Now that would be worth about $5k TimBucks.
(If you didn’t get that: http://www.hulu.com/videos/sea.....s+season+1)
Timalerts would be great for me.
Timalerts would probably be best. I’m not sure what a book would do since most of us following you already have it or have read it.
his products are the obvious thing. he’s talking about stuff that people who already own his products would want…
Hey Tim you can giveaway the annual TimAlerts subscription, monthly subscription, autographed copies of your book, and the T-shirts with trading related quoted an images is a good idea.
i want a maria buttaroma shirt, but i can’t find em
Tim, Bartiromo’s dumb but have you ever seen Erin Burnett? She has by far the most annoying mannerisms/facial tics/retardation of anyone i’ve seen on CNBC, nay, all of television. Get pallian to make a website on her with clips/pics of her retardation. Combine it with Bartiromo if you want…i’m sure you could pull hits (and push more visitors to your site!), make some ad money, and get CNBC’s attention at the same time. I can point out all her sickening flaws in a detailed, multi-page thesis paper when you’re ready. She’s probably a man, too. Let’s talk!
Just bought your book on friday so, TimAlert subscribtion would be nice. Tshirts are always nice aswell.
good luck on deciding Timmay
how much coke and how many hookers could somebody get with 500 TimBucks
I think trial periods of tim alerts and the book/dvd are obvious. Maybe baked goods from your mother/girlfriend? A business lunch/dinner with tim. A showcase on LiveStock. So many possibilities…
GF-
What are you talking about? Erin Burnett is hot! I want to spend my TimBucks to motorboat her…or Timmay’s girlfriend if she’s hotter.
Dude, people think that about Ann Coulter initially until they realize she has an Adam’s Apple.
Erin Burnett relentless has to touch her chin with her fingers or her pen every few seconds, she waves her arms around like a fucking magician when she talks, she touches the tip of her nose every few minutes as if its fake and about to fall off (see: Michael), she has zero control over her tongue which lashes out of her mouth when pronouncing words like a hungry lizard swatting for flies, she laughs hard at the dumbest jokes that she makes herself, she has eyes that pop out of her head at certain points in the day like she’s cracked out, she has eyes that are too close together, and to top it off she’s extremely dumb and non-functioning without a teleprompter.
Fuck Erin Burnett and FUCK YOU.
She’s a geek too… all she talks about is chickens… kind of makes me nervous. Haynes is a dipshit too… depressing to watch his constant doom and gloom in the morning.
GF-
You clearly have issues. Come out of the closet. Maybe Tim will allow you to spend your TimBucks on a subscription to GayFriendFinder.com.
Takes one to know one, huh? Nice to know you have homosexual websites memorized. You even knew where they capitalize their name for emphasis - that’s effort! Have fun with Erin The Facial Tic and her nice adam’s apple. When you go in for the kiss, watch out for the cologne - s/he looks like someone that can’t help but put too much on for beach bums.
Could someone tell me why my page keeps resetting???
If get this posted I Would be happy with books, Yours or if I have them then one from someone you respect. Oh wait you dont respect anyone!!! LOL Just kidding. Someone you think has something to offer.
Yeah, I hope she’s wearing Old Spice so she smells like a ripe old dude. What does your dad like you to wear to get him all hot n bothered? Axe body spray so that way you smell like a 14 year old boy? No wonder you have issues.
How about you mail me some sushi?
I’ll get a Roll with Scallop, cream cheese, crab salad, shrimp, avo, fresh salmon, masago and onion
$18 TIMBUCKS gets you free AXE Prostate Magnet deodorant! Guess who just won a prize!
Tim Alerts and books from your list.
Extra months of TimAlerts!
TOS trades
TIM Alerts
Clever Timmay Slogan Shirts
send me a TIMMAAAAYYYY t-shirt
Dammit Zyk, you took my coke and hookers idea! :)
First and foremost I want the ability to convert my TimBucks into PallianBucks, so I can pay him to add an on/off switch to this damn page refresh. I’ve lost at least 4 posts by that damn auto refresh..
In no particular order:
iTunes/Amazon/any Gift Cards
Books (Tim’s, recommended, etc.)
TimAlerts subscriptions
Apple Gear..
Pretty much all the same stuff the above have mentioned… Including cash, but excluding the girlfriend comments.. Even my ball busting has some bounds…
an account at ToS with a balance the same as your timbucks
Got 2 emails from beacon over weekend talking up IBOT
ne wposT:
http://www.timothysykes.com/ad.....terest-me/
this site is about learning how to trade, so beer for when we screw up or make mad $$$$$$$
ATSI just broke 2yr highs at 2.80… look for 3 today
I think you should have had secret contests to see how long it would take for someone to mention coke and hookers.
How about 1 month rent free with your hot friend that was looking for a roommate a month or so ago.
Tim, later down the road when I actually have a decent Bucks balance, I’d be interested in a TIMAlerts subscription, DVD package and the book… If you get some TIMBucks high-rollers, which I see in my future, you could offer a night out - I know you’re busy, but maybe a bite to eat. I know I’d love to talk to you for an hour or so about your experiences. Thanks Tim!
Hahah Bob(vc) - no pallianbucks for you, but the script is gone! Come closer to the screen… ahh yes, just a little bit more closer… don’t worry, it won’t refresh on you anymore :-)
