An American Hedge Fund Book Review

While reading his comment, I came across this part...
I turned $12k into $2 million trading waaaaay too many microcap stocks from 1999-2002, created a hedge fund, became the #1 Short Bias Hedge Fund from 2003-2006, starred in the TV documentary Wall Street Warriors (500 airings now!!), and began appearing regularly on CNBC all before the age of 25.
I told myself, my gosh, this guy is about 10 years younger than me and yet he turned $12k into $2million? I need to know what he knows and how he did it. So the next logical thing for me to do is to email Timothy and ask for a review copy.
I got a review copy yesterday. It was about 247 pages long so I said to myself it will take me a few days to finish reading it. I started reading the book at around 9:30pm. The next thing I noticed, it was already 11pm! I simply can't stop reading it. The last time I had this same enthusiasm about a book was when I read "The Secret". It wasn't boring at all. It was in a story format detailing what his background was, how he started with $12k, the actual deals and company stocks he played (including the ticker symbols so you can check out the stocks if you want).
Timothy wrote about his tactics and trading rules that guided him to success. He wrote about his emotions during these deals and how these played an important role in the success or failure during his trades. He narrated some of his best and worst deals and the lessons learned from those. I didn't know there were so many tactics used during bullish and bear periods. He did all of this while working at home. It was truly a Home Based Business.
I was literally sucked up into reading the book until 2am. By this time, I know I have to sleep. I've finished about 100+ pages so far.
This morning, I finished the whole 247 pages. I can't believe I've finished the whole book in less than 24 hours and I can't believe I got this much excitement from a finance book. That's not the typical me.
This book "An American Hedge Fund" will be out in the market this Oct, 2007. If you wanted to know more about stocks and hedge funds, learn from Timothy Sykes's story. I bet you'll love his story and learn from it too.
