Hedge Fund Riches

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.

Take a look at this interview with Tim.

An American Hedge Fund: How I Made $2 Million as a Stock Operator & Created a Hedge Fund

The Wolf of Wall Street is a book by Jordan Belfort about how he made Stratton Oakmont and how he was the wolf of wall street.

Jordan Belfort (born in 1962) was CEO of brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont. He served 22 months in federal prison for stock manipulation (using “pump and dump” methods).

Have you seen the movie Boiler room? If not, see it. The movie is based on Stratton Oakmont and Jordan Belfort. It’s one of my favorite films, it’s about the art of selling.

Read this book, you can learn so much from business genius Jordan Belfort. This book is filled with sex, drungs, insider trading and swiss bank accounts. Jordan Belfort partied like a rock star and lived like a king. He did so much drugs no other man could do, his favorite choice of drugs was “ludes”. If he stayed away from the drugs he would probably avoided taking all the wrong turns.

You should read this book because it takes you inside the brilliant mind of Jordan and you will learn how smart salespeople think. Learn from his mistakes and copy what he did right. After all he did some amazing things.

Jordan Belfort has an amazing tallent, he can sell, motivate, lead and presvaise people. That’s what you should learn to master if you wan’t to become rich and live the good life, like the Wolf.
