I try to give the LongorShort Capital (LOSC), aka Pretentious Prick Capital (PP Capital) some exposure (seemingly much needed) and instead the dude rips on me?!?! Doesn’t understand why I’m still relevant (uhhh maybe cuz I detail all my mistakes—something nobody else in finance does and I’m willing to answer any AND all questions just as I post 40%+ returns in 5 months?!?!)

What a pompous ass…so typical…(unsurprisingly, this rich daddy’s boy also guest writes for that other pretentious finance rag Traitor Monthly) Welcome to why I want nothing to do with the joke that is the financial community…this guy is an embarrassment to both finance and blogging—basically whatever he touches he dishonors—no doubt he went to an Ivy League School as they’re breeding grounds for these kinds of pretentious pricks…like Matt Damon’s character in School Ties

UPDATE: And then as I defend myself to his Patrick Bateman-wanna-be readers, the schmuck bans me from commenting on his crappy little site…what kind of blogger prohibits a good debate? For shame!

UPDATE 2: The guy unblocked my comments, probly cuz his rich daddy told him to

UPDATE 3: Since PP Capital also guest writes for Dealbreaker, he noticed his comments about 40x the average so he posted another article on DB, too. So, congrats PP Capital on your big traffic day, told you from the first email I’d help get you exposure!

TIM Lesson: Feel free to rip on me for ANYTHING, but you better be damn sure I’m gonna come after you with everything I’ve got, be prepared suckas!

    You got a point on that. But I can tell BS can be even funnier...

    i aim to cut through the BS on wall street...those who stand in my way must be taken down...besides blog wars are fun!

    Tim, why are you so angry... if you really believe your one words "Welcome to why I want nothing to do with the joke that is the financial community", you wouldn't be writing things like: "I try to give the LongorShort Capital (LOSC), aka Pretentious Prick Capital (PP Capital) some exposure (seemingly much needed) and instead the dude rips on me?!?! " or " And then as I defend myself to his Patrick Bateman-wanna-be readers, the schmuck bans me from commenting on his crappy little site

    who gives a F%^$# about Visa, so what if it goes to $70, thats a 10% move, not predictable, no woth my time of tying up capital. i dont invest in companies, i trade them. see my post above to see how u should be making 10% on your money
  • Jibri - I know you asked Tim so not taking his response but I can't wait to see what it does, I bet it does follow a master card style move - it's been a slow under the radar type move, the days the market is red it soars the days the market is up big it's either steady or even. I'd love to see a spike towards 70 soon?

    Also says something about this type of security - the whole time the market has taken a hair cut MA is still at its highs, so tells me there is some room to grow and 300 is probably in store for MA once the bull market jumps into full gear
  • Jibri
    Hey Tim, what's your thoughts on Visa, in 2 years maybe another mastercard 200+
  • Tim... timlinks is sort of a raw deal.. and you offer it to people who dont need exposure too....

    Are you sure LOSC is for real? Just reading through it seemed like some sort of joke or parody. That's how I took it anyway. LOSC is short "girl on girl". "Camels the next big thing" . . . "Mr. Juggles". Come on now.
  • John B. Goode
    wow.. this argument made me feel stupid.
  • Who wouldn't be offended by that face? LoSC couldn't avoid the temptation of calling a short on TIM, but they forget that you cannot short TIM. TIM is unshortable. There are no shares available to borrow in TIM.
  • Tim, it's the smirk, man. People with inferiority complexes misinterpret your smirk as 'cocky' and feel the need to bring you down to their level. However, they fail to see that your smirk is the source of trading prowess. I bet your face shows that same smirk expression when you're putting through those trades. Check out this look of determination: [img]http://nymag.com/images/2/daily/intel/07/11/01_sykes_lgl.jpg[/img]

    Thanks for clearing that up, I know you put your DD on the table whenever you're showing potential plays that is why this site is growing. By giving DD you allow people to come to their own conclusion rather than just blindly buying or selling a stock just because someone posted it on a site. Keep up the good work and remember if you have haters your doing something right, more haters = success.
  • Tim, these fools aren't worth the time. As you've pointed out, you've revealed everything you do, everything you've single-handedly made, and they've "got nothhhhhinnnng". Now you can add +1 to your portfolio of haters. LoSC is a joke and I've never even heard of their insignificant little website. It must be a slow news day for them to find a need to recommend a short on TIM.
  • SvannyD
    Thats exactly right tim is awesome cuz he does his own thing he even says the investing he does isnt for everyone. the best part is tim has passion for what he does has fun and will laugh just about anything off.

    i would absolutely love to get hammered drunk with him the good times would be never ending! haha
    lifes to short to be so serious all the time.
  • timsykes
    Davey--notice i said the vast majority of people, not everyone...you'd be amazed at how little research/time/effort people want to put into making money, they just want picks, random f$#@!en picks. And most finance sites indulge them. Not me, sure, I post watchlists, but as you know, I'm more about teaching people to fish

    PS Microcrap and smallcrap "investors" are poor for a reason, t hey really are lazy and stupid==advnatage anyone who's willing to take them on
  • Leon Cooperman
    Tim is misunderstood and has feelings , leave him alone
  • Davey
    I'm fine with what he said about most people being lazy and dim-witted about finance, that's true, I'm just pointing out that one minute he's knocking rich boy preps and then he's dissing everyone by saying 99% of people have no education, I've been reading this blog from last year so I have no problem with Tim, I know that he's super honest, but I don't think everyone here is financially challenged. And my feelings are def. not hurt, I still love this blog.
  • SvannyD
    Believe it or not tim has a point. It just sounds like your getting all but hurt because there might be some truth you dont want to hear or maybe your not dim witted but doesn't mean that most people arent. If we weren't dim witted and lazy we would all be really rich and happy without anyones help.
  • SvannyD
    That was the most ridiculous bull shit i have ever read! I would love to sit down and chat with all these pompous assholes face to face that way i could give them a quick smack across the head whenever they started being disrespectful and so close minded. Tim i was wondering if you know about any of these guys track records? You can feel how impertinent and self glorifying they are when reading their replies. Who gives a flying f*ck about spelling grammar and so forth in your blogs? I personally read it for the info not so i can be extremely judgmental on the schooling you received or didnt. I just dont understand where they get off bashing you for being (i think but not really sue) honest and straight forward.

    p.s. Thanks for posting blogs i absolutely love reading them they can be really funny and informative. i also like being able to understand it and relate it to situations. Oh and the best way to learn anything in this world hands down is from your mistakes! Thanks again Tim
  • Davey
    Tim I love you buddy, but isn't this a shot at your readers, I don't consider myself lazy or dim-witted, I come to your site for entertainment and because you do have a solid strategy that should be looked at, but I think you should reconsider calling your audience lazy and dim-witted imo.

    Tim's Reply

    "Solid reply but you forget that the vast majority of people out there are lazy and dim-witted. For them, the very thought of long complex calculations and ramblings from boring finance people is equatable to prison. What do we do, ignore those people and laugh at how much better we are?"
  • Eddie
    I know what their problem is... they're F*cking Matt Damon!

    Seems like just another group trying to stir up a pot that's been stirred plenty! Maybe it's just me, but I don't remember there being such an influx of haters back in the day on Sykes Picks!
  • timsykes
    ha, just guessing that what PP Capital's problem is, I dunno, those PPs are so secretive, I gotta draw it out of them
  • JCauto
    What's with all the schoolyard "rich daddy" weak burns? Why hung up on all the daddy issues?
