Recently in an attempt I think to quiet his critics about getting lucky during the dot-com era, and his disgust for the secrecy in the markets, Timothy Sykes has decided to recreate his previous feat with complete portfolio transparency. However, even with a 50+% return according to Covestor (which I believe is completely inaccurate since the TIM portfolio is currently valued at $14,404, or a 16% increase in value), the TIM portfolio has violated the one rule that, in my opinion, hurts the smaller trading accounts.

Enter Exchange Rule 431 which includes the dreaded pattern day trader amendment.
