One Reader’s Mom Doesn’t Want Him Following Me Because…

Got this great email from Glen Bradford (he wanted me to use his name, so there ya Glen, hope this doesn’t get you a spanking from mommy) a few weeks ago and thought I’d share:

I’ve been loosely following your stuff. Told my mom she
should look into you cause you make money. Thought her response was
immaturely hilarious and that I’d share it with you.

I was reading some stuff- he is very rude. That is not necessary and
immature and unprofessional. Please don’t use that behavior as your
role model. If what you have to say it that important the facts
should stand for themselves. Please work on respect and appreciation
instead. That’s what most people really want. Oprah had a whole show
on it yesterday. You wont get older rich clients by being a jerk.

Dear Glen’s Mom,

There is no respect and appreciation in the stock market, especially in the gutter of the stock market aka Penny Stocks. Being rude is not only more fun for me/entertaining for my readers–God knows finance is boring enough–but it also helps my students understand that game is not about being polite and superficial, that way of working on Wall Street is dead.

The key to lasting success on Wall Street is to do business fairly, don’t be too greedy and don’t trust anyone.

Oprah has built a great brand, but her audience is different than what works on Wall Street. In fact, I’d wager if her audience tried trading, 99% of them would fail within the first week or two.

No, I will continue doing what I do, the way that I do it, most importantly, because my rudeness, unprofessionalism and immaturity show that I’m real, unlike the rest of the BS snakeoil salesmen out there.

PS I’ve already said this several times, I don’t want rich clients, my strategy works best for poor people & poor people are real…like me.

    Wow, Tim was actually courteous and polite in his letter defending his rudeness to someone who called him a jerk. What world is this?

    Tim, i thought you were rude and obnoxious too when i first started following you, (back in January, 09) but I watched you on live stock and that's when I totally understood the method to your maddness, and now am a big fan of yours. BTW, I agree, all these penny stocks should be slammed, and don't stop uncovering their lies. Your method has actually help me see through so much bull shit on any stock, and also on life in general. Ha ha ha ha....Life seems alot more fun when you can SHORT the the BS to oblivion!. And yes, some of those e-mails you get are outright funny with the readers naivete. But I think you have much more patience with them than I would have! Cheers, keep up the good work, and thanks so much for the free site and info.
    yes I'm poor, sorry can't afford your DVDs, but understand your system.

    Classic. lol.
  • What if you had to choose between the following two people?

    1- This person trades both long and short, is an expert trader, trades everyday, has a high accuracy percentage, trades many different vehicles, is kind to people and never insulting, and takes the time to give individual attention, and makes money hand over fist

    2- This person trades only short, trades occasionally, trades only one kind of vehicle, has long losing streaks in a row, is rude, and has a mediocre record for 2009?

    I don't even get paid to do endorsements, but the kid's mother has a point.
