The Dean’s Ham & Eggs w/ Timothy Sykes

March 24th, 2009 at 1:28 pm Posted by The Dean

On Thursday morning (3/26/09) I’m grabbing breakfast with the Timothy Sykes of TimothySykes.com. He’s on a west coast business trip vacation and I’m excited to meet the man who’s portfolio gained 250% during the Great Recession.

According to the Wikinvest.com Entry for Timothy Sykes:

Timothy Sykes (born 1981, Orange, CT) is an American investor, business person, and former hedge fund manager, featured in the reality television show Wall Street Warriors, and is author of the book, “An American Hedge Fund: How I Made $2 Million as a Stock Operator & Created a Hedge Fund”.

His trading strategy is to profit by buying into the hype and manipulation in low priced stocks and then short selling when the hype and manipulation fades. This dual strategy made Timothy a millionaire before his 22nd birthday–he turned $12,415 in Bar Mitzvah gift money into $1.65 million–and earned him 197% in 2008, leading him to become the top-ranked investor, out of 15,000+ on Covestor.com. He’s an active trader/blogger at http://www.TimothySykes.com.

It’s common sense that his penny stock scalping strategy (mostly short selling) would perform extremely well during the Great Recession… but the kid has talent that nobody can deny.

During breakfast I’m most interested in getting details on his private coaching lessons. Believe it or not, any investor can sit down with Sykes (in his chic NYC studio) and learn about his strategy in real-time for a measly $3,297.00 :)

In my opinion, it’s a great deal for anyone trading with an account worth +$25,000 and for the first time in a while… The Dean will be learning (not teaching) in the classroom!

Check out this testimonial from one of Timothy Sykes’ private students that was recently written about @ TimothySykes.com:

Its not your stock picks that has helped me. What’s helped me the most is watching you trade. I knew patterns before and how to trade, but lacked the discipline and patience. I tended to overtrade especially when I had closed a losing position. What I learned most is when you send an alert, how people overact, and handle there emotions. A person can be a potential great trader, but never realize it because the individual lacks the psychology. I am up 14% this year just because of your transparency and willingness to be straight forward and truthful about the way markets function.
