About $2 trillion is invested in the hedge-fund industry, and yet, due to industry regulations, the general public knows little about them. This book will change that.

Timothy Sykes turned $12,000 of Bar Mitzvah gift money into $1.65 million by trading thousands of stocks from 1999 to 2002. He managed the number-one Short Bias Hedge Fund from 2003 to 2006, starred in the television documentary Wall Street Warriors, and appeared regularly on CNBC - all before the age of 26. It's been a wild ride.

This Rocky-like story is the first realistic look at the world of stock trading and hedge funds. It will educate and inspire everyone.

Critic reviews

"This is the first book I'd give to somebody if I were trying to interest them in the stock market." (Greg Feirman, Founder and CEO, Top Gun Financial Planning)
"There's certainly a dash of Holden Caulfield to Sykes, but there's at least an equal part Larry Livingston, the trader in Edwin LeFevre's classic Reminiscences of a Stock Operator." ( Dow Jones Newswire)

Hedge fund managers are prohibited from speaking to the public in pretty much anyway. Timothy closed his and speaks bluntly about the industry.
Bigger then that he tells how he started from his college dorm room with a curiosity...he's not the next Warren Buffet but he opens the curtains on how the stock market can be cracked by watching the patterns.

A great insiders story

Where does An American Hedge Fund rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

In the top 5

What was one of the most memorable moments of An American Hedge Fund?

That he was a millionaire by 21 years of age and the realization for the first time in my life that I can become financially independent!

What does Brett Barry bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Emotion, Passion, Clarity

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Didn't really think about it that way. I listen often when I'm at work or doing other tasks, so I listen to as much as I can. If I don't finish, I return to it at a later time. In fact I think I still have a couple of chapters yet to finish!

Any additional comments?

Love the Book, Love the Education.....it's really like having a mentor to learn about real-life mistakes and mishaps before they happen or when they happen. I'm so much calmer and confident about investing for the first time in my life. I'm 52!

Good book Tim very binge-able

It was an ok book...It definitely sheds some light on a start-up Hedge Fund success or failure and the author found his purpose through it all. If you're purchasing this book looking for guidance with day trading you'll be better off utilizing some of the authors other materials that are specific to that niche.
