After a little bit of web browsing, one of my regular stops is www.JohnChow.com.  John always seems to know what the latest trends are and who the shakers and movers are.  One of his articles led me to www.TimothySykes.com.

Tim Sykes, now 26, is best known for having taking the $12,415 he received for his Bar Mitzvah, investing it and multiplying it to a pre tax total of $1.65 million dollars from 1999 to 2002.   While the exact numbers are not 100% transparent, Sykes had a large investment in one particular company and it went south, supposedly to the tune of a 35% loss.  Regardless, Tim has decided that if you can do it once, you can do it again.  He will once again start with his same initial investment of $12,415 and see if and how fast he can grow it back into a Million Dollar plus portfolio.

This time, says Tim, he will do it totally transparently, with every transaction posted on his web site.   After reading a number of his posts, he looks like the real deal.  In fact, he has even written a book that can be purchased on his website.  Good Luck Tim.
