Due to the holiday, you might’ve guessed there’s no LiveStock today (although I was ready to do it!), but since you’ve become used to being entertained each and every Friday–Family Matters-style–I dug something up that you might just like…
See the whole article HERE and be prepared to spend some time reading it–it ain’t short, but it is worthwhile. Of course it had to come from a non-finance media outlet: Vanity Fair. Because as you know, just as corrupt as penny stocks are, the financial media is boring times infinity (besides even being a little corrupt themselves)
OK, no more ripping, this account of the Bear collapse really is educational and entertaining, good job Vanity Fair! And for those of you who need more convincing to read a long article, just check out the kind of cool pics they use:

Great book review for An American Hedge Fund from another trader of low priced stocks TK
Anyone who is considering a career as a trader in the
securities business needs to read the book An American Hedge
Fund. It is the honest, real-life story of what a
trader will face in the quest for success.
Click HERE to read the rest…TK was even kind enough to forward a followup email one of his readers sent him:
Thanks for the book recommendation An American Hedge Fund by Timothy Sykes it was a great read. Reminded me a little of Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.
Boom! And check out TFPOI’s review HERE. My favorite parts:
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who has a child interested in the stock market, anyone interested in starting their own hedge fund, or anyone looking for a great financial read on par with Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.
Ahhh yes considering ROASO is literally the best financial piece of writing ever, getting compared to it again and again is truly an honor, and it helps with my insecurity issues…Whewwww

Coming off my best week since I started TIM 5+ months ago ($900-ish profits), it’s good to review past successes and mistakes. Without further ado, I give you the first quarter of 2008 in a nutshell, where TIM used small account size–finishing at $17,388–combined with PennyStocking to thoroughly dominate the performance of ALL major indexes, even while making tons of mistakes. Follow along and learn to do the same…already 5% higher in April and I’m just getting warmed up…
Successes:
How I Made An 8% Return Before Lunch
How I Made 25% Just By Holding A Distinct Pattern Overnight
How I Made 8% In One Morning, Leaving 40%+ On The Table One Day Later
Why My Strategy Works Even For Stupid People
God, I Love Short Selling Penny Stocks!

Gotta love how the press frames news—in this case the Clintons making $100mil+…over 8 years…c’mon it’s not so much, they’ve done a better job than many corporate CEOs who are much richer!
Speaking of failed CEOs, I ripped on former OSTK-CEO-now-turned-madman-to-the-delight-of-many Patrick Byrne in this post, but now he’s out to prove everyone wrong in submitting THIS essay about Jim Cramer. Forget Cramer, is Byrne sane or insane? You be the judge…my vote hasn’t changed.
