After testing out my out my public speaking skills at University of Arizona, Rutgers University, University of Minnesota, Baruch College and Options University’s Online Trading Expo and receiving loud rounds of applause, more than one standing ovation and some great feedback (which you can see below), I’m ready to plan a national speaking tour! Students from the University of Maryland and University of Florida have already contacted me, but I wanna make one massive list right here so I can show sponsors and be all organized…somewhat.
So, if you’re a college student, frat brother, president of college/high school organization, basically whoever is part of some big community whose minds I can warp, leave a comment below so we can put this thing together, either gonna be in Fall 208 or Spring 2009!
Here’s just a sampling of the many testimonials:
“Attracting a diverse crowd of students from the University of Minnesota with varying levels of interest in Finance, Tim’s story kept everyone on the edge of their seats and asking for more. His casual demeanor, hysterical life experiences, and avant-garde trading style were both eye opening and entertaining. Overall, students left feeling inspired and motivated to learn more about finance as a hobby and potentially a career. Definitely a breath of fresh in the world of investing.”
-Dan Rice, President, University of Minnesota Investing Club
“Tim Sykes was hilarious and entertaining. He had a few educational points during his presentation, but it seemed as though whenever he was beginning to get a little serious his true personality would come out and he’d make a joke about someone, some company, a religion, an industry, himself or a mixture of all of the above. Although jokes, most of the time they were actually bitterly honest and truthful statements about the finance industry that I doubt no other speaker would ever dare to say. But with Tim, he put it all out there and didn’t care what people would think. This event was definitely the highlight of our club thus far and I would be glad to have him back up here again.”
-Justin Kruger, President, University of Buffalo Stock Club
“We enjoyed your presentation and your unique view about the hedge fund industry and the microcap stock-world.”
-Kim Chayka, President, University of Arizona Investments Club
“Just wanted to let you know the speech was great, it was certainly refreshing to hear a different perspective especially since we’re so used to hearing from corporate drones.”
-Ross Leder, University of Minnesota
“You bring a whole enthusiasm and honest knowledge to trading that I’ve never seen before!”
-Joe R. Rutgers University
Check out my brand new DVD, ShortStocking - the only guide you'll ever need to profit from short selling!
UF, huh? My old stomping grounds
Looks good, do you have any offers to speak in the NYC metro area? I’d be all over that.
TimQuestion: In your opinion are all those massively overpriced sell orders in level II quotes potential short sells?
I’ll speak wherever, NYC would be fine too..what sell orders?
Finished up $380 on the day, even as I was 15-20 cents off on an ideal short in VRML, another $200 to the poor timing TIM fund…still want under $3 tomorrow
Tim
You have to come to UF. Im in the Warrington College of Business and think that you would bring in a huge crowd.
Please keep us updated.
Tim, are you going to put together a page with your upcoming appearance, once you get a few booked? Also, when you give these speeches, are they usually open only to students?
oh yah def…this wont be any basic tour, we’re gonna do videocasts, after parties, open to everyone and their mothers, the works…just cuz we can :)
I meant the ASK, I don’t deserve a Timbuck for this post.
If you look at the bottom of the ASK listing (in level II) there are sometimes a few hundred shares for 1,000 or 99,999
I thought it was someone trying to take advantage of a market order or maybe a way the market makers lock in a range.
It’s something I’ve always been curious about.
That’s right, Tim. We wanna see ya here at the University of Maryland!!
Tim,
I’ll try to get a gig for you at THe Else School of Management. If they don’t kick me out first. Trading cuts into my study time just a bit…lol
What an awesome idea…Hope you come to Chicago TIM…And if there is anything I could do to further your chances of getting here let me know?…So many uninformed individuals when it comes to stocks, finance, etc…These topics should be taught in our high schools.
Sweet- Hopefully you’ll hit RI soon (preferably URI). God knows we’ve got enough colleges!
man i go to a shit community college, hopefully someone from university of michigan or msu contacts you. would love to hear your speech and meet you.
Issues logging in.
Who can I contact for support?
Testing my gravatar, and getting a Timbuck to do it..
I just signed up to open a TOS account- wanted to do it a while ago, but since I am now forced to because Scottrade decided to take away my margin for 90 days- for pattern day trading….(2nd warning)– ohh well, at least now I will be able to short stocks under $5….. TIm you will get the referral
I still doing research and studying guys. Much props to you Tim . Market the hell out of yourself. Remember I’m the newbie in this game and I see the edge now. I’m still long, but stalking my first short. Just curious, have you ever had a job? I work during day so I’m limited. Everyone here should be on schedule for 6 figures or better.
Try not to spend it all in one place guys. I’ve got plans for mine!
Hey UFGemini-
Besides that, UF had a huge stack of Tim’s infamous Trader Young Money magazines outside the classrooms, so make it happen!
i sure hope the rewards for TimBucks will be good!
Told someone about AIRN and looks like it was a good play as it is now down 19 cents after hours
Like I said Traveling tomorrow but here is my stock to watch IMRX
Sonid, IMRX and AIRN are earnings moves. Usually not a good idea to short those, although tempting based on the charts
I know …but AIRN missed, and looking at the horrific chart it doesn’t look like anyone is looking to ride this pony up that mountain
vrml more action i expect a mid moring dipp
hey TIM your tech guy rocks. that guy is not only quick at fixing glitches he’s super fast at his follow ups. keep him around….good tech support is hard to find these days! also looking forward to your “tour”. i think your doing the right thing to give back and teach us all a little piece of penny stocking reality.
Tim, you definitely need to come to UCLA to speak. I’m part of a professional business fraternity here at UCLA and you’ve been a great inspiration to me, and it would be great if you came here to inspire others as well. I’m friends with you on facebook actually (name: Jonathan Bryant ‘Jono’ Lee) so if you are interested just message me or email me. Thanks!
how about a trip back down south to New Orleans — A joint Tulane/Loyola presentation could be worked out I’m sure
EGLE up 12% today on earnings but it also made a double top, a good short candidate imo. Any opinion?
just bought the DVD, cant wait till it comes in
second to the UCLA!! idea. come here get in on this KUSH stock craze out here.
Get up to western Canada!…or hell Canada at all…
Watch UTEK carefully tomorrow, if drops below $14 can be an easy $1 downside (perhaps to form handle of its cup). But then, if it crosses over say $15.10, it may see $1 upside.
ca. pleaSE
Tim, Don’t forget to SWEAR LIKE CRAZY…it might help your book sales this time around. :)
Tim, though I am not a business major and already graduated with a chemistry major, I would like you come to Texas A&M University, Aggies will love learn from you.

we neeedd you,
Tim you should incorporate your live trading as part of your speaking. Hey, why not make work & learning part of your presentation? everyone would benefit to hear you drop a few F-bombs while the action is happening. by the way, what other schools are actually teaching what they preach? that’s why your site is so important to the rest of us following your rise to $2M!!!!
Come to seton hall i guess
i second the tulane/loyola, maybe we’ll treat you to a slice of boot pizza afterwards
jj, i think trading while having those speeches isnt a good idea for tim. it would put him under plenty of pressure to trade and probably people will be disappointed if they happen to see the one loss that tim has once in a while rather than the constant profits.
all the more reason I think he should…look Oliver, losses are part of the bigger picture. Tim discusses being completely transparent. where else have you seen ANYONE, willing to show you openly & honestly what the rest of the industry is hiding? that’s why I think it would make real world sense to show it like it is.
Tim-
I am writing from the west coast (Bay Area). Will you be making your way out to the west coast? If so, our school/business club is looking for a motivational speaker. Please let me know if this will be a possibility!
Thanks!
i’ll go wherever, just leave your school name and location and i’ll add it to my list
Hey! Just starting the University of Denver Investment club, and we are looking for speakers in the Spring of ‘09. Send me an email! Love your stuff BTW Tim.
timmy id like you to come to my elementary school. I am 10 years old and love stocks and I want to bring you to show and tell.
Diablo Valley College.
Pleasant Hill, CA
It would be GREAT to have you stop by!
Timmer… Vancouver, BC.
UBC (University of British Columbia), SFU (Simon Fraser University); they’re both majors collegs in this beautiful city.
Would be great to hear you speak and do a shot of te-kill-ya or a jager-bomb with ya at the after party.
