As we *might* learn from Seth Tobias and Tiger in this Monday's docudrama on CNBC (the network of Donny Deutsch and Cramer), Asian guys are never long, and you should never be long with them either. Also, never eat pasta that doesn't taste right and don't swim after a big meal.

Too bad Nicky L, when he was playing with the Queen Mums money, wasn't Asian. Bruce Lee kicks British ass and brings down an empire - ha! I would have paid $0.05 to see that!

NSD, nope, still have NEVER lost big with my trading style, follow my blog and you'll see I cut my losses quickly! CYGT was outside my core competency, a lesson in learning to stay disciplined.

Nice research skills, you must be a Wall St. ANALyst, right?

New show copying WallStrip started, http://www.qualitystocks.net/live-1.php

It's worse than WallStrip but (of course) better than Fox Business channel.

The host of the quality stocks video is hotter than the host of wall strip.

The host of the quality stocks video looks like she just got done working the "unsightly bruises" shift at a truck stop tittie bar.

Hurl.

So, Timmay, you dont have enough discipline to stick with you own style? Exactly what I want from my fund manager.

And, to the best of my recollection, I have never step foot on Wall St.

NSD, welcome to why I am no longer a fund manager...much better suited to helping teach others through my successes AND my failures.

Sad thing is MOST fund managers have much worse failings, but you'd never know cuz they're spineless soulless frauds

Oh I can do just fine, as I have for a decade, but there comes a time in your life when you realize that even under ideal circumstances, your strategy is meant to be used by thousands of people with small accounts, not by a few rich people

Tim,
Was that time in your life when you moved back into your parents house?

I think your audience is reading Tucker Max or The Mystery Method. Try advertising for your secret trading strategies over there instead.

Dealbreaker,
Please don't link to TimSykes articles anymore. It just encourages him.

Oh and PS yeah I did move back in with my parents for a bit, I am and always have been a cheap Jew. When you're not making $, you cut back.

But only a sick twisted SOB like yourself rejoices at others misfortunes. I wish you an eternity of being yourself, that's punishment enough

it's scientific fact that asian and jewish men have abnormally small penises.

Mr. Sykes,
I celebrate thriftiness. I disdain cheap snake oil salesmen misrepresenting high risk and highly volatile trading strategies to cotton-headed get-rich-quick 20-year-olds who should spend their time learning accounting and financial statement analysis instead.

You are hard working and smart. Burning a hedge fund down before you are 30 is nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone fails, its how you recover that shows character. Turning your energy and experience into selling trading strategies for dummies is where you went wrong.

Please don't respond that your strategies really work, blah, blah, blah. I am sure that they do work, up until the point they quit working, and then you lose all your money in an illiquid penny stock. This is true because people who develop true methods for exploiting market mispricing don't sell the secret, they pound the market to wring the economics out for themselves.

Cut out the Maxim-magazine huckster bullshit, go back to trading, and do what you were born to do (which does not include being a media whore, being thin-skinned is not compatible with being a media darling).

Regards,
Pearly Soames

Pearly, et al. Why ya gettin so steamed over Sykes. 1) He's a promoter. So what, aren't we all. Good for him for trying. 2) By his own admission, his system is NOT scalable (look it up if you don't understand the word), so at best people are gonna make a little pin money, at worst no one is gonna get in too much trouble.
