    Nah...dont hate you Tim. You would have to do something to me to deserve that status. I just dont particularly like you and dont see anything of value that you offer. But it's not hate.

    I saw Newton's name .......his site kicks ass....I respect his opinion. Thats it.

  2. Uhhh more than 1/2 of these people are traders. You missed a couple of important ones--let me just highlight them for you:

    “A clearly-written account of a natural trader coming of age, a Catcher in the Rye for traders. Highly recommended if you want to be or understand a trader...”

    -Aaron C. Brown, Executive Director at Morgan Stanley, Author of The Poker Face of Wall Street (he was in charge of Risk Methodology at MS)


    “Tim captures the mindset and drive of the at-home, chart-based stock trader…you'll find this book eye-opening...”

    -David Jackson, Founder and CEO, Seeking Alpha


    “A surprise for veteran or beginner…Mr. Sykes exposes a lot of himself which allows you to see the development of the trading mind…”

    -Online Trading Academy


    “A clear, unbiased view of trading…many lessons…I highly recommend it…”

    -Tom Alexander, Partner, Alexander Trading, Savannah River Capital Management


    “A professional trader myself, I can totally identify…I find it absolutely inspirational…”

    -Grace Cheng, GraceCheng.com, Author of 7 Winning Strategies For Trading Forex


    “Entertaining, insightful, and educational…it’s a great read…”

    -Jame ‘RevShark’ Deporre, President, SharkInvesting.com, Author of Invest Like a Shark


    “An interesting story that any trader will appreciate…”

    -John Boik, Author of Lessons from the Greatest Stock Traders of All Time and How Legendary Traders Made Millions


    “A book all aspiring traders should read. The mental elements of trading described in Tim's story, both positive and negative, are ones that all traders experience...”

    -John Forman, Author of The Essentials of Trading


    I think I'll just repost some of these quotes from time to time whenever my haters start spewing all their uninformed crap

  5. I like to play exponential gainers, both long and short. Would love to be able to ride them long, but I'm just a much better short seller. See the charts of SCON and CRDC for my kind of plays. Lots of volatility, liquidity make it so you don't need perfect entries or exits to make tens of thousands per play

  8. aaah Dave Goodboy also wrote a hugely flambouyant review for Trendfollowing too!

    hmmmm


    Yeah let me override my common sense and buy a book because these clowns recommend it....even though there is a good chance they didn't even read the book at all, since everyone knows it is a professional courtesy to write rave reviews about every book you're asked to...since they may need you to write them a rave review one day...

    Ya know...I actually LOST respect for Tom Alexander because he wrote a "blurb" for your book. I swear to God. I actually liked the guy til just now.

  9. The ironic thing is that everyone who hates Tim and continues to posts on these threads is raising his visibility and thus likely increasing his book sales. This of course puts more money in his pockets. It's in Tim's best interest to respond to every attack to keep the threads fresh and make more people curious to read his book....
