Who is Timothy Sykes

Timothy Sykes wrote the book An American Hedge Fund in 2007, the book is about how he turned his Bar Mitzvah money into $1.65 million from 1999 to 2002. He only started with $12,415. He also started a hedge fund, Cilantro Fund Management in 2003.

An American Hedge Fund

Timothy Sykes wrote this book because he wanted to tell people about the Hedge Fund indutry. He hated that hedge fund managers couldn’t talk to the press or advertice. They were only allowed to talk to rich people. In a way, that also what’s this blog is about, giving you the knowledge about trading to make you hedge fund rich (our term for being very wealthy).

In the book Timothy Sykes talks about how he started trading, how he started to find patterns and how he went from 12k to 1,6 M. It’s a very good book. I highly recommend it. It will teach you about hedge funds and the market.
