2. My “scheme” for trading stocks is to short sell fraudulent/”iffy” companies which have been pumped, it’s not ridiculous, it’s the very definition of rational.

3. Who cares about financial professionals, you guys have kept the public in the dark and have been under performing indexes for years, you’ve made yourselves irrelevant

4. How will I be losing all my money when I cut my losses quickly and have learned to be conservative? Like the typical Wall Street ANALyst report, your research is lacking.

5. Of course I make money by promoting my strategy, this is America! Buuuut if you guys actually take the time to visit my site, you’d see I write about my trades before I make them, make plenty of mistakes along the way, detail all my successes AND failures and answer ANY and all questions. This I do for free so you can see I have nothing to hide. I don’t see other “gurus” blogging day in and day out, helping people fully understand their theories, no they are the BS artists, charging $5k hotel seminars.

6. All my returns are audited, waiting on my fund’s final audit to release everything on my new site which debuts late April.

I know you guys have been abused for decades by liars, frauds and cheats, imagine for a second a business model based in brutal honesty–all my character flaws, bone-headed mistakes on display at all times…but in the end, thanks to my considerable experience and well thought out strategy, what I teach is of value to many confused investors and traders, 90% of whom are currently losing since they’ve never had anybody willing to lay it all out there, perfectly able to face all critics and fans alike.

My post may sound a little leftish, which I certainly am not, but the intent was to point out the incongruity between his message and his method.

He rages against one machine, while hawking another, crappier one. I don’t really care what damage he does. I’m sorry, but this guy just irritates me.

To paraphrase you: “anybody who sells a firm’s products because they want a steady paycheck is scum.”

But you are an admirable guy, because you’re just trying to help the little guy?

Almost every participant in the world economy, little guys included, is involved in one stage or another of selling his firm’s products, whether his firm is a wall street bank, a car manufacturer, or a family farm. That’s what makes the world turn.

What is it that you do exactly that adds value to society? Oh right, you’re a living, breathing infomercial for some ridiculous scheme trading stocks. Have you ever considered what the consequences of a little guy, someone without your considerable investing talent , followed your advice and lost his kids’ college money? No, you don’t care, because you got $15 bucks for selling him your book.

What is wrong with you?

To any serious finance professional, to those you label pretentious pricks, you are a joke, but to society in general, you are something far worse: you’re dangerous.

And not in a good way like Maverick. You won’t be shooting down all the migs in the end of this movie. You’ll be losing all your money, probably, sadly, other peoples’ money. Again.

The sooner you fade away, the better. Have a nice day.

Mind you I admit I’m not only immature but I get defensive because of all the people who “know” I’m lying…which just pisses me off since my entire biz model is brutal honesty…but the good news is I have nothing to hide, frauds can’t act out cuz they’re always walking on eggshells, I can say whatever the hell I want and get away with it cuz u may not like me but by god if u ever trade a penny stock or want consistent gains on small sums of capital, u need me

Then you say on your own site:
I know many of you wish I wouldn’t promote my book An American Hedge Fund and my 6-hour instructional trading DVD PennyStocking so hard, but then again, you’ve no idea the number of dumb/similar questions I get on a daily basis—which actually inspired me to get into this biz–so getting people to buy these products not only helps pay my bills (I have no problem admitting that because I believe it’s exceptional value in that it pays for itself in 1-2 successful trades), but it also makes my job explaining everything exponentially easier.

SELF PROMOTION IS SELLING YOU DUMB FUCK

oh no!! im so PRETENTIOUS!!! i noticed the obvious!!!!

Correct, my strategy isn’t scalable past a few million dollars, good thing I teach to approach positions from all angles, depending on their personalities…and surprise you get an entire community playing penny stocks based on their own strengths and weaknesses, a) increasing market liquidity, b) increasing market volatility…add A + B and you get increased scalability..

You pretentious pricks forget that thanks to decades of people EXACTLY like you, outsiders know little of how to profit…until now, these suckers have financed your lavish lifestyles, now the game gets flipped, not all the way, but a bit…you forget how many people would kills to know how to make a few thousand, maybe even tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars from this game

Well played, princess!

I’ll not be holding my breath awaiting an answer (from Timmah or one of his doppelgangers, the only ones who’d pretend to try), and I apologize in advance for bringing the thread back to life.

After all, self-promotion can be a good thing if you have a good message, right?

I preach safe BASE jumping.

Damn, I wish I hadn’t sold!!

Disclosure: knowing Sykes’ tendancy to stalk comment sections of posts about him, I went long this comment section @ 2. I couldn’t post a comment for fear of accusations of market manipulation. Having closed out my position @ 60, and sitting on a nice pile of satirical money units, I am now free to do so. I do think there’s still a little more upside in this comment section, but why get greedy? Hopefully, there is some downside when MR. J gets so sick of Sykes he goes back and deletes all his comments.
