An American Hedge Fund by Timothy Sykes
October 12, 2007 at 12:38 pm | In miscellaneous | No Comments
“Tim was a guy who loved the stock market from a very early age. In 1999 he managed to con his parents into letting him invest $12,415 of Bar Mitzvah gift money into the stock market. His parents agreed, thinking he would lose it all and therefore be taught the value of a dollar. Instead, he turned that $12,415 into $1.65 million in four years. He became a millionaire at age 22, managed the number one short bias hedge fund from 2003 to 2006 and starred in the TV documentary Wall Street Warriors all before the age of 26.” ~ John Chow

in recent years.
