I am quite new to stocks, and even newer to this site and Mr. Sykes. However i paid for the Tim Alerts last month expecting to get some insight, and I did. Of course it is never to the extent one wishes, but that is the nature of life. However i soon noticed the interested demeanor by which this fellow carries himself. And it seems to often result in him being quite short and rude with individuals (my interpretations of my observations, not speaking for anyone else). On occasion there will happen along some soul seeking to learn, they will ask a question only to receive a sharp retort (as it comes off) along the lines of (watch all my ### videos before you ask questions). And while this is understandable that he is out to make money not repeat the same answers hundreds of times over, there is a marked absence of tact or general professional courtesy in some of his interactions. Money making is nice, how growing one's self as a respectable human being should always have some sort of priorty.
These things aside, earlier this month a finally figured out the chatroom thing, and was talking in it, asking questions and interacting with others in what seemed completely normal. In fact i was in quite a good mood having found this awesome tool of individuals sharing tips and news. Suddenly a message pops up stating i am banned from the chatroom for breaking the rules, I did not recall doing anything malicious or what would break a rule so my first reaction is that the moderator must have accidentally clicked on me when trying to ban someone else... however this theory was put to rest fast as Mr. Sykes emails me a mildly irate message about my negativity on the chat room. Blowing my mind completely because i was all smiles and happy to have finally found the chat room for the first time. I inform him that i was unaware of what action on my part would merit the accusation, which he only got uglier and accused me of lying (i was still at this point wondering if i was being confused with someone else at this point). I respond by reaffirming that i truly did not know what actions on my part were deemed negative, and was refused any evidence (the quote of what i may have said to get me banned) to help me understand the situation. Mr. Sykes responses where bordering on outright rude being as i very seriously was unaware of what i could have done to make him so angry: I apologized multiple times, and in the absence of any evidence that i really did do or say something, i simply said i accept the punishment to which threw an insult in and fell silent.
While i he is successful in his own at handling stocks, the difficulty for those who may be new to his venture on your road to finding your own success will be in accepting and finding a way to deal with his abrasive personality when/if the situation presents itself. This may very likely be a rare occurrence, but it is definitely an obstacle some may face in seeking his experience and advice. Dealing with people is often the most challenging aspect of finding happiness, success, and contentment in life.
@Kevinwhohu everyone who gets gagged in the chatroom is bitter about it, but we have nearly 1,000 traders now, we're the biggest chatroom for a reason...we don't tolerate BS no matter how much they whine later :)
Hi man, the chatroom is like an orchestra and Tim is the maestro he's telling you your instrument needs some fine tuning to be in harmony with the music. The way I see it just make some small tuning or look for something more suitable for your style. 1 secret I learned from a smart man...nobody gives a fck about you except yourself ;)
"nobody gives a fck about you except yourself" Loved it!!!
Just skipped through your elaborated blue-blodded post, but mate, grow a pair, will you? You have access to thousands of video lessons and transparent traders for a price of a good meal :)
