The Sad Truth Why Covestor Isn’t As Popular As It Should Be

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Sat 21st of Feb, 2009 02:25:34 PM

People in this joke of an industry are total cowards!

Besides being the most soulless, greediest, weirdest people you’ll never want to meet, most are absolute frauds, liars and cheats. They’ll try to convince you that they’re worth listening to because of their Ivy League education, high profile previous jobs, connections, blah blah blah—they’ll come up with every excuse in the book not to show you any audited or verified performance #s.

Remember 90%+ of traders lose, yes, 9 out of 10…so those people posting message boards celebrating their latest victory, odds are heavily weighted that they’re lying.

Despite Covestor having a great little badge for bloggers’ to embed on their sites, very few actually use it…because if they did, you readers would see how badly they suck/underperform and you probly wouldn’t listen to a word they say.

If hedge fund managers had to allow their clients to see their verified trades day in day out, the vast majority would lose the vast majority of their clients.

The fact that I’m still #1 after holding this position for over a year out of 20,000 traders/investors, even though I only trade part-time and of course my dvd students/TIMalerts subscribers account for nearly 1/3 of the top 100, means this entire joke of an industry is absolute shit!

Do me and yourselves a favor and next time you see a stock blogger who doesn’t show his returns on Covestor, give him a big old smack on his miserable cowardly face.

Obviously, hedge fund managers aren’t allowed to show their returns—after all they’re soooo dangerous (does that mean balanced funds down 30%+ are now considered dangerous too? LOL Pathetic/Failing SEC regulations!)—so some stock bloggers have an excuse, but what’s even more sad is that there aren’t many others also calling for total transparency.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

Anways, Covestor actually knew this before they began, they don’t care about the thousands upon thousands of typical failures, underperformers and mediocres, they only want a few superstars to build businesses around. Smart guys…

To those who blog/write/offer advice but are too cowardly to show results: Go post on Elitetrader and lie to your fellow liars, hope that helps you pathetic sons of bitches sleep at night. You guys should be garbagemen with the amount of trash all around you…you make me and every other honest person sick…you’re what is destroying America.

  • Tim, Covestor has to change the way it calculates performance as well.
    This sharp ratio BS has to change to % change of the actual capital from trading.
    The sharp ratio is fantastic for 1 position at a time because, as everybody knows, it considers every position an "all in" gamble with 100% of one's capital but except insider traders and gamblers, nobody puts all their capital on one trade.

    There are some other superstar traders out there on Covestor that are nowhere near the top 20 where they belong.

    Tim, I made you edit my post because it was a waste of space, I apologize!
  • Kent
    You invested in stocktwits.... how come all the guys on there don't have covestor accounts? i.e. the guys who run it, the guys who invested in it, the "featured/recommended" members etc.
  • Tim is a fagget
    What a fagget, he sensored my post. Communist.
  • Evan

    covestor seems totally worthless since none of the youtube gurus do it. the youtube gurus sell books and dvd's, so they must be up way more than TIM. if you are on youtube, you are probably the best trader ever.
  • GH
    "Tim is a fagget" you spelled "faggot" wrong. Covestor also doesn't track options or forex yet so big trader-hucksters with poor performance can always say "Well, my performance is not accurate due to my awesome trades in these categories which are not being tracked." There are many limitations in the current incarnation, but I think everyone would appreciate a trend towards transparency.
  • GH..you fell for the oldest tr
    Yea, you would know just how to spell it wouldn't you? Tell me if this spelling is correct...Dumb Ass.
  • u guys are all idiots, which ones were actually invested in PSPM? LOL
  • Pspm Flipper
    Haha, I have to side with Tim, I bought PSPM at 0.25 and sold it at 0.67 because the run up was way too sharp: >150% return in what, less than a month for a company with no revenue stream? I'm sorry for those who lost money and are now stuck in high 0.70's positions, but really who buys a penny stock that has run up that much...?
  • GH
    You are clever faggot flunky guy, is that why you mispelled 'censored'??
  • younggunz
    Fell for what? That's some elementary school bus shit right there. "OOH you know how to spell faggot you must be one, blah blah!" Are you fucking serious?

    Wow you're right the PSPM longs are some seriously mentally challenged trash talkers. Kinda pisses me off you have to go poke 'em with a stick and let them chase you back to your website. Oh, well I get to use my smack talk boom stick of pwnage!
  • Michael
    The main reason covestor isn't very popular is because the information it provides is simply not true. It has that major flaw where it thinks you are investing all of your money with each trade and thus ends up giving inaccurate results. Just a really strange way of doing things.
