About Timothy Sykes

Timothy Sykes, author of the book, An American Hedge Fund, was born in Orange, Connecticut in 1981. He studied Philosophy and Business at Tulane University while turning his $12,415 Bar Mitzvah Gift money into a fully audited pre-tax sum of $1.65 million from 1999 to 2002 before founding his hedge fund, Cilantro Fund Management, LLC in 2003. He is also the benefactor of a Tulane University Scholarship, The Timothy Sykes Day Trading Award for the Talented that is awarded annually to any deserving Tulane student, faculty, or alumni.

In 2006, his hedge fund was ranked the #1 Short-Bias Fund by Barclays for 2003-2006 and he was named to Trader Monthly’s 2006 ‘Top 30 under 30?, a list recognizing the top 30 investment professionals under the age of 30.

In late-2007, after suffering a roughly 35% loss over two years, he closed his hedge fund and created a publishing company, BullShip Press, LLC to promote Freedom of Finance, the concept of a hedge fund manager’s right to discuss their business freely without risk of penalty or censorship. Following this thinking, Timothy also introduced TIM, short for Transparent Investment Management, with the goal of repeating his original feat of turning $12,415 into $1.65 million, this time around detailing the step-by-step process on TimothySykes.com, becoming the first hedge fund manager to openly detail their investment strategies for all to see.

He starred in the TV show, Wall Street Warriors on MOJO, now writes for AOL Finance and has been featured on ABC, CNN, CBS, CNBC, FOX News, FOX Business Network, Reuters, Businessweek, Marketwatch, MSN Money, Yahoo! Finance, TheStreet.com, Realmoney.com, Consumer’s Digest, YOUNG MONEY Magazine (Nov. 2007 Cover Story), Jewish Living Magazine, Forbes.com, Hedgefund.net, Hedgeco.net, Institutional Investor, WallStrip, Salon.com, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post, The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, The New York Observer, The New York Daily News, Trader Monthly, Dealbook, Alternative Universe and Absolute Return Magazine.

    Majority of stock picking newsletters are bull**** written by people
    who don’t even trade stocks! Hello? They make more money from selling
    thier products than in the stock market! This is not only unethical,
    but is also bad for business!

    Timothy Sykes is a (edited) be nice :)

    After I discovered severe corruption at Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, I wrote a fully documented message detailing the allegations, which I posted on Timothy Syke’s website.

    In a very short time, my message was deleted. When I contacted Sykes, his excuses ran the gamut from “the file size was too large” to “the message doesn’t fit the theme of our website” to “you don’t write good enough”.

    Timothy Sykes is not a prophet who exposes “manipulative forces at work in companies, the media, ANALysts, etc.” as he proclaims. Timothy Sykes is a liar who probably works *for* the manipulative forces as a facade of opposition.

    If you would like to receive a copy of my message about corruption at Eurostat that includes graphics, please contact me.

    In addition, please allow me to warn you about Jeremy’s comment…

    The website http://www.timothysykesexposed.com is NOT opposed to Timothy Sykes. It is just another (strange) way that Sykes markets his products. More proof that Timothy Sykes is a very deceitful person.
