Answering 2 Questions About My Book ‘An American Hedge Fund’

As grumpy as I get, I truly do love answering questions, so keep stuff like this coming:

Loved your book Tim. I was very impressed by your ability to tailor your strategies to different market conditions based on the patterns you saw with the gap ups and the afternoon fade, going long, short, etc. What a gift.

Are the charts from the mentioned trades still on the website?

P.S. Who was the trading coach that you met at the hedge fund office and then again at CNBC?

Hell yes! The charts from the trades detailed in my book raw are right HERE. Not every trade is there because by the time I went back and looked for old charts, many of these carcasses of companies–99.9% of all Penny Stocks–had already gone out of business. I still know of no service that keeps charts from bankrupt companies, if here was one, it’d probably do decent $ (get to work geeks!).

As for the trading coach I strangely meet time and again, as if he was a character from ‘Lost‘, his name is Dr. Ari Kiev and he’s not only a great trader psychologist, his books rock, especially THIS ONE.

And to answer another FAQ, my book is also an audiobook on iTunes & audible…see THIS POST for more details on that and to hear an audio sample.

    Thanks!

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)!
