It’s Good To Help People: My Scholarship & GreenOnTheScreen’s Donation

Posted by timothysykes on Mon 18th of Aug, 2008 01:55:04 PM

Really makes me good/proud to see those of us who are profiting nicely through PennyStocking willing to give back to others…

First, as those of you who’ve read my book An American Hedge Fund know, I started my Tulane scholarship “The Timothy Sykes Award For Student Who Learn Good” (that’s the name I wanted, but was prohibited from using) waaay back in 2002, really just cuz I’d made too much $ too quickly and wanted to commemorate my feat by giving a bit of cash each year to inspire others…

I’m waaay behind on my posts, but this May my award went to Maureen King–not a student as my award is open to all in the Tulane community, professors, alumni, etc.–who built a house from scratch and is living off the land…literally. Check out the whole article “How Does Her Garden Grow” by clicking HERE.

The year before the winner was Susan Zaluski, an incredibly talented girl who builds big ass boats from scratch and teach others to do it too. See her article HERE.

And now, the latest PennyStockers to give something back are the bad ass folks at GreenOnTheScreen–Muddy, Laura & Mike13th–who in response to THIS post, donated $300 to young Zachary…trying to get him to the magical $2k barrier so he can start shorting. Just a great, great gesture, thanks guys!
