Timothy Sykes

Timothy Sykes is an American entrepreneur, penny-stock trader, and financial educator who turned roughly $12,000 of bar-mitzvah money into millions by day-trading volatile small-cap stocks while still in college. He documented that run in An American Hedge Fund and built a business teaching his short-selling and momentum strategies to retail traders through subscriptions and video lessons. A polarizing figure in the trading world, he also channels earnings into charity through his Karmagawa foundation. His book is part memoir, part trading playbook.
