[...] Below are a few stats on my trades this year and last. Like what you see? Why not check out Tim Sykes’ DVDs? I recommend Pennystocking Part Deux and TimFundamentals Part Deux (I own both). I don’t recommend TimTactics. [...]

Hopefully my best livestock DVD will get a higher rating, at least for the editing part

Sorry guys, I do what works for me–being real…I pay several thousand dollars for each DVD to be edited and frankly, I don’t sell enough of them to justify any increase…the bulk of my $ comes from TIMalerts and i’ve spent $25k+ developing a new site and trying to come up with faster alerts…u get the info on the DVDs and you’re all up huge, name ANY other DVD out there with such success rates

Hey Tim, thanks for your feedback and look forward to your future work.

But honestly, you posted how you made 6 figures in 2 months. Please don’t say its “just poor me.”

That’s more money then Joe the Plumber thinks he’s going to make.

I still am with #5 where we would like 2 hours of quality info, rather then listening to you take phone calls from your girlfriend on your DVDs. That’s is what my feedback about your editing was about.

Keep rolling Tim!!
Wish you the best of luck and I enjoy your other work.

Tim, you make 70K+ a month by your own accounting. The “poor one man operation” schtick doesn’t work anymore.

You could easily afford to hire some staff. Could and should in my opinion.

It’s a big step to trust the revenue stream enough to make a staffing commitment…I’ve been there, I know.

Or maybe you are just a cheap bastard who wants to keep every penny for himself

and yes timfundamentals part deux is gonna rock, its 15 hours of watchlist research, SEC filing digging (nailed NXTH a week before this 60% drop), a live trade, me missing a perfect breakout, guest starts like michael goode and nate and timmy bohen, its my best yet, especially quality-wise

Ha! He wouldn’t try to get me to take it down. If I were seen as having no independence then I wouldn’t be as useful for selling DVDs.

I really did like the seminar this year in Vegas, so I think it will be a good DVD (it will be TimFundamentals 2). Pennystocking Part Deux of course was fairly well put together.

Of course, the price he charges isn’t for the production quality but rather for the quality of the information. Considering my success trading his system I cannot complain about that.

Thanks for your honesty Reaper, curious if Tim will make you take this post down

I’ve bought 2 DVD’s so far, and this was going to be my last purchase. I’ll take your advise on this one.

After my second DVD, I could not believe how poor they where produced and not edited. Maybe I was just mad at the price he charged, to have him take phone calls and sniffle through the lessons. Come on, if he is selling the volume of DVD’s he says he is, Tim should have enough respect for his clients to hire an editor.

Also thanks to post #5, I agree with you and will take your advice on Fundamentals.

I am a Tim fan and find his trading interesting. I also wish him success in trading and sales. I am just disappointed with the price vs quality.

Keep up the good work Reaper.
