Editorial Review:

Product Description:
$2 trillion is invested in the hedge fund industry, and yet, due to industry regulations, the general public knows little about them. This book will change everything. Timothy turned $12,000 of Bar Mitzvah gift money into $1.65 million trading thousands of stocks from 1999-2002, managed the #1 Short Bias Hedge Fund from 2003-2006, starred in the television documentary Wall Street Warriors, and appeared regularly on CNBC all before the age of 26. It's been a wild ride. This 'Rocky'-like story is the first realistic look at the world of stock trading and hedge funds--it will educate and inspire everyone.




Rating: - One of the top 10 trading books I've read
Personally I liked this book very much, because it chronicles the ups and downs of a real trader (unlike the vendor-only crowd).

I'm not sure why there's so much negativity with Tim, in reading his book I thoroughly enjoyed it (along with those by Nison, Oz, Rudd, and Turner). He's a young guy with chutzpah who made it, and for that I respect what he's done.

What comes through is, here's a guy who's a real trader who's had his ups and downs, and through it all has proven ... Read More

Rating: - Stopped at page 97 and skimmed the rest
Looking for an interesting story about hedge funds and some inspiration, this book caught my eye. After making it 97 pages through the book, the title should actually read "How I got lucky in the stock market". I can't fathom why anyone would follow his trading style - no one in their right mind would invest in illiquid penny stocks (his bread and butter), his risk management was frightening (many times he mentions risking 30%, 50%, 75% of his net worth on trades) and he appears to lack any technical ...

Rating: - Neat story BUT Please do not trade PENNY STOCKS
I was given this book as an audible version... I actually had it for over 3 weeks then on a long drive in my car it was the only thing I had on my IPHONE so I decided to listen to it. Not bad until I learned this kid was investing in Penny Stocks..... OH HOW I WISH TIMOTHY DID NOT WRITE THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT WILL JUST SUCKER PEOPLE INTO DANGEROUS TRADING.........

I was mortified... Sure you can make money in penny stocks but you can also make money on a slot machine... A loose slot machine.... ... Read More

Rating: - How I Wasted $15 on This Garbage
Where to begin? All of the other people that have reviewed this book and given it a 1-star rating are spot on. Like everyone said, he got lucky during the dotcom bubble and doesn't know how to make money any more. I love the fact that he's obsessed with selling short while he has his hedge fund - then the arrogant prick has the audacity to blame industry regulations for this failures as a hedge fund manager. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over again and expecting something different ... Read More

Rating: - Excellent Book!!!
This book is awesome!!!! You will probably finish this book very quickly, because this book is very interesting and enticing.

Tim has taught me so much in this book! Tim cuts the "bullship", and teaches you lessons you will never forget. I am only 15 and recently begun playing the stock market, and thanks to this book I have avoided many beginner mistakes.

This book is truly amazing, I would recommend buying it for anyone even if they're not into finance! Tim has truly inspired me and he ... Read More
