Tai Lopez vs Tim Sykes - Who is more legit?

lthough, it might sound I am comparing Apples to Oranges, they both have the same element in them, "make money quick and easy". Are these products even worth it? Or it's just another snake oil trickery.

 

They're both BULLSHIT ARTISTS, repackaging information that is readily available and don't bring anything unique to the table. Just read How to Make Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Another good book is Be Obsessed or Be Average by Grant Cardone.

You're a kid right? Must be loaded with a fortune from Dad to spend it on two faggy self-help "gurus".

Note, I don't use the term faggot to denigrate homosexuals. But faggot sounds so perfect (and ah so British), that I'll use it specially to classify these self-help guys and PUA guys, simply because there's no other word that has the same ring to it.

Invest on Dale Carnegie and the Oxford Dictionary. They're going to be pretty important if you want to break into finance.

Tim is a really good trader. As an FYI most people who teach trading are failed traders themselves. Hey if you can't DO the work, teach people how to do it LoL Oldest trick in the book. But, as much as I abhor stock chat gurus I do believe Tim is a great trader. I was in his chat room for 6 months and he's got a great sense of the macroeconomic environment and he's exceptional at the day to day. That's a rare talent to have. Most people have one or the other but not both. Again, 99% of stock chat gurus are trash. Sykes is legit (and I'm a guru hater). If I were you and I wanted to learn the basics, I'd join Tim's chat room and watch his free videos online (he has a ton). Everything else is just fluff (including all the other nuts on Profiy.ly too)

 

I originally watched Sykes on Wall Street Warriors when I was in college back in the day, have been keeping up with him here and there, I also ended up reading his book back when it came out (it was a quick 5 hour read on a flight). Tim is/was good at trading his niche, through personal failure he figured out that he was not cut out to be a fund manager, now he just makes all his money through his teaching products, as it is probably the easiest and safest way for him to make consistent, scalable income.

Someone mentioned previously that he sells information that can be found for free on the internet. Sure, but his audience is not someone who is going to dig through an ocean of info to figure out how to properly identify and short overhyped pennystocks, his target audience are looking for a quick way to make a buck. Tim just happens to be really good at marketing to that demographic, which is why I think he continues to see success.

I do not know anything about Tai.
