An American Hedge Fund
How I Made $2 Million as a Stock Operator & Created a Hedge Fund
Sykes recounts turning bar-mitzvah money into millions trading penny stocks from his dorm, a brash origin story and case study in high-risk speculation.
Part memoir, part trading manual, Sykes’s book recounts how he parlayed a few thousand dollars of bar-mitzvah money into over a million by trading penny stocks from his college dorm, then launched and ran a small hedge fund. He walks through his short-biased strategies, the patterns he exploited, and the mistakes that nearly wiped him out, in a brash, confessional voice. Aimed at aspiring traders, it doubles as an origin story and a case study in high-risk speculation.
