Timothy Sykes

I had a slightly different college experience: skipping classes in favor of trading stocks every day, and over time my obsession with learning has paid off as now I've turned $12,415 in Bar Mitzvah gift money into $6+ million and started a hedge fund during my senior year. I also created a scholarship for talented/passionate people open not only to current Tulane students, but also Tulane faculty and alumni…an economic bailout ahead of its time.

I’m proud to teach EVERYTHING I've learned over the years because it hasn't been easy and while 90%+ of traders lose, I've developed and refined rules to stay disciplined, minimizing my losses and maximizing my gains over time. I never had any mentor or teacher, I had to learn everything the hard way, so my goal is to be the teacher that I never had to my dedicated students who are now in 145+ countries around the world learning online.

I've also started my own charity foundation and donate ALL my trading profits to charity these days, and we've built 72 schools/libraries so far with the goal of building 1,000+! I also love traveling and have been to 100+ countries and have met many of the world’s most interesting and successful people like President Obama, Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Steve Cohen of SAC Capital, Michael Steinhardt, George Soros, Mark Cuban, Nouriel Roubini, Wayne Gretzky, Ken Griffey Jr. and Michael Jordan and many many more.

Battling against those in finance who misinform and lie, I’ve made enemies with soulless penny stock promoters, media figures, penny stock promoters and even basketball star Shaquille O’Neal sent me a cease & desist letter after I blasted him for taking shares of a penny stock pump (see my comprehensive reply to the big man’s legal threats…never heard back from him and the stock has dropped 99% as I predicted it would)...I've had a truly crazy journey to get where I am today and it's my true passion in life to help teach what I've experienced and help whoever I can if you're dedicated to your studies!
