My apologies for the delay, just waaaaay too much going on lately. For those who don’t know, TIMbucks is a rewards program meant to try to bribe people to participate/comment more. The plan is to giveaway away little gifts like TIMalerts subscriptions, autographed copies of An American Hedge Fund, Apple iPod Shuffles, stuff like that.

Now is the time to figure out exactly what we’re gonna giveaway, most due to a really cool little website, Reebles.com, sponsoring TIMbucks, helping this cheap Jew give this stuff away.

Leave a comment below with what you want so I can put together an official TIMbucks rewards chart, the top guy will receive the best rewards, then 2 and 3, then 3-5, etc…

    Can I get a T-shirt with your head spitting out those crazy dollar symbols? If not, I think a more realistic goal would be iTunes gift cards or your book. You get to promote again if you do that.

    LMAO GF…

    oh god….
    whew.

    Dude, it could be like a buncha stuff…

    - Your book, DVD, or the alerts is the no brainer,

    But you could have “cheaper” rewards like 1 (or maybe 3) free Tim trades. A trade being the cost of the commission with a free TIM alert. dunno how this would work out if you alert wasn’t profitable. just make it a requirement to submit an account statement stating the commission on the date.

    TIM Leverage – TIM matches you investment to double your return (or covers your loss, limitations could apply)…

    TIM Treasures – TIM gives you shares for the stock to short… no more “sorry, we don’t have any ZYX available” from Paul at think or swim…

    TimTV – Lost Episode – A sneak peek into how TIM finds his stocks with a secret, “livestock” like 1 on 1 hardcore session. or something similar.

    TimWear – Custom shirt with TIM and a tire pump inflating a “stock chart” (candle chart, no bars or lines – they’re for pussies) and you could be like on the phone asking to reserve some shares. the stock symbol could be like the guys initials or name…

    or you could even have:

    TimTransport – tim buys you a ride. An old $500 – 1987 Plymouth mini van that doesn’t run. Maroon

    Ivegotstylekid is right Tim, the best way to grow your community is by educating them. Give away some of the books you recommend in TimReads, Market Wizards, The Disciplined Investor. Stuff like that.

  • TheParadox

    eric and style do have a great idea, If you gave me a book that i knew you recommend (and i didn’t have to find and buy – god im lazy) i would read it… probably twice… and i hate reading books.

    …thats why I think something like a livestock session sounds great, even if its like 20 minutes, if you walked in with something to be taught… a simple pattern, level II Tips, blah blah – a real purpose driven 15 minutes, would be invaluable – and people could buy “tickets” for the show like once a month

    Tim – I want you to come to my place for Thanksgiving and stroke my Mom’s hair while you say “pretty pony, pretty pony.” Now that would be worth about $5k TimBucks.

    Tim, Bartiromo’s dumb but have you ever seen Erin Burnett? She has by far the most annoying mannerisms/facial tics/retardation of anyone i’ve seen on CNBC, nay, all of television. Get pallian to make a website on her with clips/pics of her retardation. Combine it with Bartiromo if you want…i’m sure you could pull hits (and push more visitors to your site!), make some ad money, and get CNBC’s attention at the same time. I can point out all her sickening flaws in a detailed, multi-page thesis paper when you’re ready. She’s probably a man, too. Let’s talk!

    Dude, people think that about Ann Coulter initially until they realize she has an Adam’s Apple.

    Erin Burnett relentless has to touch her chin with her fingers or her pen every few seconds, she waves her arms around like a fucking magician when she talks, she touches the tip of her nose every few minutes as if its fake and about to fall off (see: Michael), she has zero control over her tongue which lashes out of her mouth when pronouncing words like a hungry lizard swatting for flies, she laughs hard at the dumbest jokes that she makes herself, she has eyes that pop out of her head at certain points in the day like she’s cracked out, she has eyes that are too close together, and to top it off she’s extremely dumb and non-functioning without a teleprompter.

    Fuck Erin Burnett and FUCK YOU.

    Takes one to know one, huh? Nice to know you have homosexual websites memorized. You even knew where they capitalize their name for emphasis – that’s effort!

    First and foremost I want the ability to convert my TimBucks into PallianBucks, so I can pay him to add an on/off switch to this damn page refresh. I’ve lost at least 4 posts by that damn auto refresh..

    In no particular order:
    iTunes/Amazon/any Gift Cards
    Books (Tim’s, recommended, etc.)
    TimAlerts subscriptions
    Apple Gear..

    Pretty much all the same stuff the above have mentioned… Including cash, but excluding the girlfriend comments.. Even my ball busting has some bounds…

    I think you should have had secret contests to see how long it would take for someone to mention coke and hookers.

    How about 1 month rent free with your hot friend that was looking for a roommate a month or so ago.

    Tim, later down the road when I actually have a decent Bucks balance, I’d be interested in a TIMAlerts subscription, DVD package and the book… If you get some TIMBucks high-rollers, which I see in my future, you could offer a night out – I know you’re busy, but maybe a bite to eat. I know I’d love to talk to you for an hour or so about your experiences. Thanks Tim!
