How Customer Service Should Be aka Regarding That Free Trial Of TIMalerts

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Fri 14th of Nov, 2008 08:04:23 AM

UPDATE: No LiveStock today, still finishing up filming ShortStocking DVD, contest to be forwarded to next show in 2 weeks (next week I’m in Vegas for the Trading Expo, booth #717, stop by!)

Check out this PayPal dispute I got from an unhappy TIMalerts subscriber, we’ll call him Douchebag Derek (DBD):

My account was never created. Only after I requested my account be cancelled was the account activated. Furthermore, I was charged even though I signed up for a free trial. I am requested full refund of the $29.95 as it should not have been charged until after the free trial.

WTF are you talking about DBD? There has never been nor will there ever be any free trial. While other newsletters/false prophets try to lure you into their marketing schemes with freebies, I don’t need to do that shit.

Because I’ve got a bulletproof trading strategy that works well in good and bad times, a ridiculous personal track record to prove it (even though I’m not that great a trader), customer testimonials of people making thousands or tens of thousands of dollars coming out my ass and my little TIMdemo trading account is up a verified (By Covestor) 177% in the last year.

So don’t try and lie to get out of paying me my rightful $30 you lying weasly little piece of shit!

And to all you others, I don’t have to be nice or polite and yes, I will post absurd complaints like this because if I do I’m right and you’re wrong.

And you will like it because you have no other choice, there’s no other guru out there with so much useful money-making information in this joke of an industry.

If you don’t like it, seriously go elsewhere, enjoy great customer service form Cramer’s back office because they’re experts at consoling people down 40% on the year due to his picks.

If someone else who’s honest comes along or I stop making good picks/teaching you how detestable penny stocks are and my customers start losing, maybe then I’ll resort to the typical behavior of polite BS snakeoil salesmen, the vast majority of whom are down 30-40-50% on the year…so if you see me becoming nice, you’ll know what’s going on (and you’ll see it reflected in my Covestor performance chart)

Until that time, which is unlikely to ever happen, enjoy the profits I bequeath unto you and stop wasting my time with your trivial lies and concerns.

Oh, and DBD your TIMalerts subscribers-only account was created, it just takes 1-2 days because aside from my ego, my operation is small and we do shit manually. You still got your email alerts from day 1 and it’s pretty tough not to make $ on them when I’m right on 80%+ of the time.

    "Because I’ve got a bulletproof trading strategy that works well in good and bad times, a ridiculous personal track record to prove it."
    Your track record on this site and covestor has been established over the past year during which we have been in a severe bear market (S&P down about 40%). We have no evidence from your site or covestor that your trading strategy works in "good times". One would assume your strategy works well in a bear market since you short stocks. Can you prove the strategy works in "good times"?

    leadpimp,

    Tim makes MORE money in bull markets than he does in bear markets because he shorts into strength. Stocks that are up 50% to 400% in a short period of time. You don't have that in bear markets. You can find his ideal short plays here. Note: All were during the recent bull market.

  • thanks a, yup thats the evidence

    How do you know he makes more in bull markets than bear markets? Have you seen his audited record during a bull market with this strategy?
    Stocks are capable of spiking 50%-400% in a bear market. There have been moves like that over the past year during this bear market.
    All Tim has proved is that he is capable of amplifying the steady downward price moves that we have seen in the market over the past year by shorting volatile microcap stocks. A short only strategy in a severe bear market has a high probability of producing positive returns the amount of return will likely vary from trader to trader. A short and hold strategy in a severe bear market also has a high probability of positive return. Tim's record over the past year needs to be compared to a short only benchmark. Again what proof do we have of this strategy in "good times" other than the anecdotal charts you provided?
  • everything from 1999-2006 i have is audited, wil get pdfs up eventually, kinda busy lately

    Haven't seen audited returns but do know that his fund, Cilantro, was ranked the top short-bias fund in the Barclays Fund Rankings, released in early 2006 for 2003-2006 performance (i.e. while the market was in bull mode).
  • A
    Oh, returns over the period (2003-2006) for Tim's fund: 21$ annualized average return
  • A
    Sorry 21 percent

    Trust me man, this strategy works, and there are more opportunities during bull markets. I would cancel my Tim Alerts subscription if his strategy didn't work. I've been following this blog for a year now.

    I find it laughable that I have a full time job, do only 1-2 trades per month, and I am ranked #88 on Covestor.

    Tim is a genius figuring out short selling realizing statistically that stocks drop twice vs stock goes up by one!
    It's also genius he figure this out in his dorm while everyone try to get laid and boozed.
    Man I wish I be a Tim friend so I can chat with him for free instead of paying 2000$
    Just joking Tim. Hope you have some good sense of humor.
