Just got back from Green Lemon Grass restaurant, where John Chow (yes, that John Chow) was hosting this week’s Dot Com Pho meetup. It was my first time attending Dot Com Pho, and driving to the restaurant, I had no idea what to expect.
In total, there were about 11 people there, including the focus of one of John’s recent posts, Tim Sykes. In a nutshell, Tim’s story is that, as a teenager, he managed to turn his $12,000 of Bar Mitzvah gift money into $1.65 million dollars by shorting stocks. He’s in town for a seminar, and I guess John convinced him to come out to Dot Com Pho as well.

I really enjoyed the 2 hours we spent at the restaurant, casually chatting about politics (both Canadian and American), blogging, and any other topic that sprang to mind. But most of all, I appreciated meeting so many new contacts in the Vancouver-area that are interested in blogging, blogging for money, and making money online through a variety of mediums. Of course, meeting John Chow, Internet Blogging Celebrity, was definitely a bonus.
Actually, no, the real bonus was walking away with some Dot Com Pho schwag. Courtesy of Market Leverage, I received an “I’m blogging this” t-shirt, and from Tim (or John, maybe) I got a signed copy of Tim Sykes’ new book An American Hedge Fund, which details “How [He] Made $2 Million as a Stock Operator & Created a Hedge Fund.”

Glad you enjoyed the shirt! Hope we’re able to make it to a Dot Com Pho one of these days. If you’re ever in the Orlando area, feel free to join us for lunch and a tour of the MarketLeverage offices! We can have a mini Dot Com Pho in Florida. :)

Timothy Sykes is a hypocrite.
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 enoughâ€.
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.
