Timothy Sykes helps people learn how to trade penny stocks. He’s not some fly-by-night guru, though. All of his teachings come from real-life experience. And he’s not skimpy with his advice, either.
After an elbow injury eliminated his aspirations as a pro tennis player – an incident his father affectionately calls his “million-dollar injury” – Tim set his sights on the stock market. In high school, he used the $12,415 he’d saved from his bar mitzvah money to invest.
Before he graduated, he’d turned that $12K into $125K. Today, he’s earned close to $5 million in profits—all from trading.
Tim started a hedge fund in college that became the #1 Barclay short-bias fund for three years. He earned a spot on Trader Monthly’s “Top 30 Under 30” list in 2006, and was recognized by President Obama for his contributions.
When his hedge fund took a big hit, he decided long-term investing wasn’t for him. He published the acclaimed book “American Hedge Fund” and decided to start talking about finance in his patented no-holds-barred style.
His experience paved the way for his appearance in five of the six first-season episodes of the hit reality show “Wall Street Warriors,” which are now streaming on Hulu.
Then Tim returned to his roots: pennystocking and day trading. He decided to start teaching others the method behind his particular degree of monetary mastery, which allowed him to help others build great wealth. In fact, some of his students have surpassed his own trades.
That’s every teacher’s goal, right?
At the very beginning of his career, Tim focused every day on the lifestyle he wished to create for himself. He didn’t (and doesn’t) trade for money.
He trades for freedom.
That freedom allows him to visit any country he wishes, buy what he wants, and spend time mentoring others. And he encourages his students to do the same: Figure out what you want out of life, then make it happen.
