    He made his fortune during the dot-com boom…like alot of people.

    Then lost it.

    Now he sells ‘informational kits’…I personally don’t like people that sell ‘educational’ cds, dvds, books, cassettes, etc.

  2. sarah August 10th, 2008 at 7:31 am

    ya, but he also has a live show and helps a lot of people.

  3. Lawrence August 10th, 2008 at 8:26 am

    @sarah

    be that as it may, but he made it – then lost it, during a booming time.

    What will you brag about, to the people who you consult to(his show)…I made it big during a booming time, then lost it as the market shifted?

    I’m not putting him down or anything in the least bit, his accomplishment is still very noteworthy…but just saying.

    Please Sarah turn off the music during the interview…

  5. Timothy Sykes August 10th, 2008 at 9:38 am

    Sarah, thanks again for the great interview, next time I’ll show you my guns!

    Lawrence, that’s a common assumption that’s just dead wrong, which is why I promote full transparency in this joke of an industry.

    The truth is I lost a third of my money when I got too cocky/undisciplined and tried investing instead of trading. Lesson learned.

    Now I’m back to trading and I prove my worth with my own trades as I’ve doubled my money in the last 9 months–and blogged in detail every step I took to do it–even as the overall stock market has gotten crushed.

    Next time I suggest you learn the facts before posting…hey, you can start with my brutally honest book, I detail my gains AND losses in order to reduce these kinds of misunderstandings. Thanks for proving why this is so important!

    @Arno, you don’t like the music during the interview? Let’s have a vote 1- is against music and 2- is for music.

    Hello Sarah, If you want the job i need something too.But you know how it works.

  9. sarah August 10th, 2008 at 9:49 pm

    That’s an odd comment Davy.

    Hi Sarah, nice interview thx 4 sharing. Personally i like the idea of the bed music 4 the interview but do think it was mixed in a bit high. Keep up the hustle. peace

  11. Lawrence August 11th, 2008 at 8:57 am

    i didn’t even realize the background music the first time I watched the video, until it was brought up here – i guess i was too focused on the content.

    but it is kind of distracting a bit in retrospect, you might want to lower the volume – if not eliminate it

  12. sarah August 11th, 2008 at 9:27 am

    Ok guys! Thanks for your opinions. I should have the music volume turned down a little in the future!

  13. Techman August 11th, 2008 at 8:33 pm

    Great show Sarah! Playing the Penney Market is kind of a crap shoot, but some times long shots pay huge dividends. I am going to check out his web site. Thanks for the tip!

  14. Timothy Sykes August 11th, 2008 at 8:41 pm

    Techman, thats what most people think, but its not about the longshots, I ignore those, its about finding the stocks that are being manipulated higher RIGHT NOW as those are easier to predict…especially short selling them when the manipulation ends, as it always does

  15. Lawrence August 12th, 2008 at 9:14 am

    @Timothy

    Isn’t short selling or day trading, or whatever it’s called ill-advised…due to the double transaction costs for buying and selling and the high short-term capital gains tax?

  16. Timothy Sykes August 12th, 2008 at 9:15 am

    Lawrence, yet another common misconception…thats why i’ve done actual trading to double my money in the past few months to prove commissions are negligble. and taxes only hurt if you make over $250,000 in any one year and if you’re doing that, life isnt so bad anyway

  17. sarah August 12th, 2008 at 9:32 am

    hehe
