Book Giveaway: ‘An American Hedge Fund’ by Timothy Sykes

Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to read my review copy of Timothy Sykes‘ new book ‘An American Hedge Fund: How I Made $2 Million as a Stock Operator & Created a Hedge Fund’. But since you all read financial blogs I’m sure you’ve seen at least one of the many rave reviews across the net. The book was officially released this week and Tim was nice enough to send me the final edition as well. Since I now have two unread copies I’m going to give away my review copy, which is an uncorrected proof version.

Update: Timothy has offered two signed FINAL copies of the book. So here’s what we’ll do — The two closest guessers will receive the final edition from Tim. I hate to let a book go to waste, I’m gonna give my uncorrected proof to the bronze medalist.

So here’s the deal. Leave a comment guessing tomorrow’s (Friday’s) closing price of the Nasdaq. The person who’s the closest gets the book — U.S. addresses only.

Note: your guess must be entered by 9 PM EST today

    Mike,

    Great Idea, but now that the final version is done and is so much better than the uncorrected proof, I gotta step in here and try to snag it. My guess is 2772
