Experience led Timothy Sykes to create Profit.ly, a community of over 84,000 traders who share their performance and trades openly to help each other learn & improve and Investimonials.com, a community of over 65,000 investors & traders who have reviewed over 25,000 financial products like brokers, blogs, newsletters, websites, financial movies & commentators...kinda like Yelp or TripAdvisor but for finance, which is sorely lacking in transparency. He is now a full-time teacher now, has more than 6000+ students, and wants more of this: Tim had a slightly different college experience: skipping classes in favor of trading penny stocks every day, he turned $12,415 in Bar Mitzvah gift money into $2 million and started a hedge fund during his senior year. He also created a scholarship for talented/passionate people open not only to current Tulane students, but also Tulane faculty and alumni...an economic bailout ahead of its time. His hedge fund went on to become the #1 ranked short bias fund by Barclay for 3 years and he was named to Trader Monthly's 'Top 30 Under 30' in 2006, but his trading strategy was never very scalable (meaning it's much easier to make $100,000 than it is $100 million) and his fund lost 35% when he tried long-term investing instead of trading. Infinitely wiser but embarrassed and depressed, a TV producer asked Timothy to make an appearance in his upcoming documentary "Wall Street Warriors"...He had lost his confidence and credibility so he agreed and ended up starring in 5 of the 6 episodes of the hit first season, which you can watch on Hulu, now having aired in 20+ countries and followed by 2 more seasons (Wall Street Warriors Season 3 was filmed but has not aired). The show's popularity inspired hundreds of daily emails from fans wanting to know more about Timothy Sykes and his trading strategy, but as a hedge fund manager, he was not allowed to answer any of them. So he moved on from the restricted hedge fund industry, wrote openly about his experiences in his best-selling autobiography "An American Hedge Fund" and started a publishing company to create brutally honest & educational financial newsletters and instructional DVD packages. I've been featured by every major business and financial media outlet, but he is infinitely prouder of having returned to his $12,415 Bar Mitzvah gift money roots, intent on repeating his feat of turning that into $2 million, this time detailing every step of the way on this website. 8,000 blog posts and several years into this challenge, his brokerage account surged to $211,420, a gain of more than 1,500%, already providing you with a rough blueprint of how to turn $12k into $100k in 2 years and making Tim the #1 ranked trader out of 60,000+ traders on Covestor, a website which verifies trades and performance...and nearly 1/5 of the top traders are subscribers of his 4 newsletters and PennyStocking DVD students! Tim has also enjoyed his money, traveling to over 80 countries and meeting and chatting with many of the world's most interesting and successful people... Timothy Sykes now has 3,000+ students in over 70 countries. See less
