Book - An American Hedge Fund

hedge_fund_book1.gif

$2 trillion is invested in the hedge fund industry, and yet, due to industry regulations, the general public knows little about them. Hedge funds are prohibited from advertising, talking to the press and detailing their businesses to anybody worth less than $1 million. This goes against everything America stands for. Wealthy and
non-wealthy investors alike should be allowed to learn about hedge funds and the strategies they employ for safer and more profitable investing. This is the story of one hedge fund’s wild ride.

Timothy turned $12,000 of Bar Mitzvah gift money into $2 million trading thousands of stocks from 1999-2002, managed the #1 Short Bias Hedge Fund from 2003-2006, starred in the television documentary Wall Street Warriors, and appeared regularly on CNBC all before the age of 26. This is no BS “Get-Rich-Quick” book; it’s the first realistic look at the world of stock trading and startup hedge funds. This ‘Rocky’ - like story will educate and inspire everyone.

Book Reviews:

“A ‘Catcher in the Rye’ for traders…highly recommended if you want to be a trader.”

- Spencer Jakab, Dow Jones Newswire

“Nothing short of riveting for anyone with a passion for the American dream.”
- Karen E. Spaeder, Former Managing Editor of Entrepreneur

- Michael Covel, Bestselling Author of ‘The Complete TurtleTrader’ and ‘Trend Following’

- Adrian James, President, The Stockwire Group

“Fascinating…similar to ‘How I Made $2 Million in the Stock Market’ and ‘Reminiscences of a Stock Operator’…”
- Brian Shannon, AlphaTrends.net

“An honest look at the world of trading, control and “easy” money. Sykes is a driven personality, his book is engaging and quite descriptive, shedding light on the sometimes misunderstood processes in the trading world that can make or break a man.”
