Is anyone here a "student" of Timothy Sykes? I'm curious because he seems to have a strong following who believe in his advice.

Last time people were talking about him on WSO, he created an account and chimed in. Maybe he'll be back lol...
^funny you say that, im 50% sure OP is him. No way an unbiased 3rd party could possibly believe "he seems to have a strong following who believe in his advice." Unbiased website plug FTW. What up tim, lol
Tim is one of those guys on the periphery of the market who makes it worthwhile to keep track of the periphery of the market. I like the guy. And don't even talk to me about naked shorting when JPM had an e-fucking-normous naked short on silver, GS naked shorts every fucking thing, and MS just naked shorted Facebook within fucking seconds of taking them public.
cant speak for the other examples, but its a little different story when its a greenshoe option, no? lol
I'll admit that it's different when you're managing a new deal, but c'mon. That use of the greenshoe as a naked short was pretty blatant.
Can't tell if this is serious or not?
Tool
Shorting stocks that are obvious pump and dumps... cool story, bro. That people follow this kid and pay him money for anything just shows how retarded the general investor is.
What a fucking douche canoe.
The guy makes money. More then what most people on this board can say.
actually he makes more money than most ppl here. isn't he topping 1 mil these days?
Exactly....
From trading or from selling advice to naive individuals? If both then what's the ratio?
I'm not hating on the guy for his business either. If there's a market for penny stock advice then so be it. His appearance in Trader Monthly, however, was a sham and just shows you how some "temp successful" traders live off luck or by exposing themselves to tail events.
Hey... now that I think about it - doesn't he have an account here on WSO?
Being a raging douche and making money aren't mutually exclusive, fellas.
This guy is a left-handed hammer.
