Potential Plays

Now that COIN and COINW have tanked a remarkable 26% and 40%, respectively, in 2 days, making me sick to my stomach for taking my wimpy little 8% profit, it’s time to move on to new microcrap winners (COIN is donezo for me right now, I don’t try to guess big rebounds, once the bottom falls out, bounces are met by constant bitter naive sellers who bought higher…once COIN settles down though, it’s a prime candidate for a slow multi-day/week bleed back to the single digits, aka destiny, sorry pumpers, you did your jobs well, lemme know what stock you soulless bastards move onto next, gratzie!)

boilerroom 4 New Plays...Definitely No COINs...Not Yet Anyway

There are thousands of microcraps and smallcraps out there, so how do I narrow my watchlist down each day? I just look for the most volatile stocks—namely those big daily % gainers—out there, ideally, those up on fluff news. Here are four that caught my eye over the weekend

Orbitz Worldwide (OWW)—reported pathetic earnings last Thursday morning, helping the stock lose 20%, cracking a 6-week base at $6. Summary: Business stinks. Their marketing stinks. Expedia is crushing them. Friday saw a little rebound helped by a typical Friday afternoon short squeeze into the market close. This one isn’t as volatile as I normally like, but if I can get a short off into any further spike, a 50 cent, or 10% drop seems likely.

SMF Energy (FUEL)—now that’s the chart of a failing company! Last ditch effort at financing announced last week aside, given these guys’ track record, it’s only a matter of time before they get back to their usual failing and the stock reacts in kind. A few years back, I shorted them after a big spike, now I’ll look to again, but keep in mind it’s not up enough yet and the marketcap is only $13mil. Lots of resistance at $1.25.

Fox Petroleum (FXPE)—another tiny oil and gas play, up solely on sketchy research reports. Read the latest report HERE. The disclaimer is too funny:

“SISM Research is being paid $1,750 per month by the company over a two-year period solely to ensure independent coverage.”

Welcome to the joke that is microcrap research and the reason why I’ll probly get killed one day.

Searchlight Minerals (SRCH)—sketchy startup metals microcrapper now with a $373 million marketcap and only 6 employees! They just did some financing back in January and February under $2, you can bet those investors are doing something to get the price up. When in doubt, expect the worst—that way you’ll never be let down! Judging by past spikes, it’s always been good to short into them, but be verrrrrrry verrrrrry careful, only $1 downside now, c’mon you private placement pinheads, get your stock up more so you can sell!

Since none of these look exceptional…yet…I won’t even waste your time or mine with their charts. Bad pumpers, do your jobs better and I’ll reward you by showcasing your work in my chart gallery! 3,000 daily visitors, and growing, trust me, get your stock up enough and I’ll make sure you the world hears about you!

God, even though I'm not directly profiting, I am thoroughly enjoying this financial route, even lil trash talking ole me underestimated how screwed these companies are.

Tony Ellis

Might close single digits!

Stan

hey tim - after seeing the first few minutes of trading today you knew this thing was going to tank? why not get back into it and short again? why are u just giving up on coin so early?

Joey

Tim, what do you think of shorting ABK? Wait for a bounce or hang in now?

timsykes

i don't short stocks 30% off their highs in 2 days, too much risk of spiking

ABK is in finance, see my forum post as to how i will play any and all financial firms

be-the-ball

tim,

unsolicited advice here.. your forums are too cumbersome. I personally don't have time to sort through 50 to 75 different threads looking for interesting nuggets.

Look around at other blogs. Remember the shark tank. All had only one place for a continuous stream of posts. So much easier to keep up to date.

Personally, I would shut down the forums and encourage this comments section to flourish. Or maybe leave one or two forums open for newbie questions and the like

Aaron

Gotta hand it to the COIN pumpers. Inflating a penny company with no earnings and four employees to $17 deserves a trophy.

Their MB is a great study in crowd behavior too. When the next COIN comes around and posters talk about mortgaging the house and farm to buy more it's a good clue for shorts.

TIM -
Loving the content recently it is ROCKIN - LOTS of good stuff for a newbie.

I read BTB on some other sites too, and respectfully seek to modify his comment above...

I agree there are a HUGE # of Forum divisions that might be consolidated, but for an anal(yst)-retentive info gatherer like myself, please don't go to just one thread. I kinda see where you might be headed w/ it as is, so maybe it's a case of 2much 2soon...

timsykes

thanks for the suggestions guys, as u can see, we're rolling out tons of new stuff, the forums are definitely not in their final state

be-the-ball

5hole,

you are probably right, but there should definitely, IMO, be only one place for trading ideas, having a different forum for each stock is very cumbersome...

Brian D

Still holding my 500 short shares of STEN that I bought at 5.25.

Joe

Hi Tim. What do you think of OWW now?

timsykes

brian tell me you're short sten, not long. if short, great job holding. if long, have u not been reading this blog?

oww tanked perfectly, opportunity lost, too much crap goin on in my life, sux

Ryan

What about CRDN?

Eric T

Does anyone know why Gold prices are going higher while the US dollar slides even more?

Eric T

oh shoot...I mean why gold prices are NOT going higher while the US dollar goes down even more.

Declines in larger mining firms "have to do with a sell-off in the broader market. People are being forced to liquidate positions," said Sean Brodrick, a natural resources analyst at Weiss Research. Hedge funds, forced to unwind position in convulsing credit markets, "sell what they can, not what they want to sell."

Brian D

I'm short STEN, played it on both sides. Wish I would of held on to DARA as well. Many of the big plays you mention on here I short then hold for a few days because they seem to do the same thing everytime. DARA and IDMI had been my big ones, but the STEN play just totally blew them out (can you say position oversizing?)

Brian D

Wish I had oversize on DARA when it came to the long side I only managed to squeeze 10% out of my position on STEN whilst being long.

Eric T

Matt - yea I read that article. However on bloomberg I read gold rises around the world. And they say gold is going to go higher.

Tim should have been a little bit patient to keep his COINW short position to cover at close today!!! But that is coulda, shoulda, woulda.....at least he can be little patient probably covering half or 2/3 of the position next time.

Lisa

Timmy!!! your entry price for shorting COIN was good!!!!
just need to work on exit a little, and maybe add to winning position.
coin closed 10.79, coinw 6.4, coinz 5.9.
you would have made so much!!

I know you're busy, so i understand that you can't trade that frequent.
nevertheless, keep up the good work!!

Trott Felipe

Best performance of Ben Affleck's career.

timsykes

yeah best entry of my life, worst exit, i'll get it right eventually. for now, i'll just pick em for u readers and u can choose to do with them what u like!

SmallCapSlingshot

I think FXPE is up because of the run up in crude prices, not the research report. It doesn't matter to me why it keeps going up, I jumped in last week.

Golden Bull

Be very careful shorting SRCH, unless you like getting a hot poker stick in the ass. Do some DD, see who put the money in and try going out to the site, the neighbor area sold for 1.8 billion by RTP to ABX, I always love the guys who skim the top of the water doing Due Diligence, 10MM ounces + will be in the works and please leave your comment without deleting it piker

timsykes

i love these people that drink the kool aid and actually believe DD matters to microcraps! keep drinkin, don't read my blog, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee, we need you to profit from!

Eliot Maker

Whoever you idiot Eliot Trader are, you snob even don't have guts to have your own website, haven't even been able to prove you made money or you can make money (that anyone knows of)!! I don't know Tim personally, but his trading strategy is excellent (perhaps the trades are not that great simply because of he is little impatient as his exit point on several trades). You snob can never ever be like Tim, no matter what you wrote here above. BTW, Tim, you could have covered COINW much lower, perhaps using trailing stop or OCO and partial covering rather than being impatient.

5holeSAVE

Couldn't agree w/u more BTB - it's hard for us newbies to understand where to put their questions about a specific pick / trade and not have it appear like a thread start on a real goer...
I think it's going to pan out in the near future tho
Cheers

5holeSAVE

HAHAHA just read ET-the-hater's post....

Let's see the color of your cabbage dude... back up your smack or get lost. If we wanted to read detractors there's a million places we could look. OTOH - How many readers can say they've stacked some chedda because of stuff they've learned here?

Living Off Dividends & Pas

what do you think about GENC and SPG?

timsykes

i think neither chart is clean/predictable, avoid

Joseph

Eliot, stop hating! He posts his trades even before he executes them.

Who Is Timothy Sykes And Why Should I Care?

See Tim's full bio HERE. Tim turned a few thousand dollars into a few million by taking small gains time after time on hundreds of volatile penny stocks, discovering that his trading strategy, while consistently successful, works best for those with smaller accounts.

Determined to teach others this PennyStocking trading strategy (learn more HERE), he went back to his original $12,415 roots (already $58,000+ even though the stock market has crashed) to show everyone how to turn thousands into millions, even while having a life (somewhat) and making plenty of mistakes. Currently he is the #1 ranked trader out of 25,000+ on Covestor)

How Can I Consistently Make Money In The Stock Market?

Hard work, Determination and Know How.

Hard work to learn how the greatly misunderstood niche of penny stocks provides opportunities every now and then on which you should pounce.

Determination to seek those probable profits out and know how in order to actually profit from them.

Long story short, wait for stocks that are extremely volatile - for whatever reason - and then aim to take small profits (between 10 and 50% within a few hours, days or weeks) here and there, either from betting on higher or lower prices (yes, you can make $ betting on lower prices, it's called Shortstocking (learn more HERE).

Why Penny Stocks?

As Tim explains in several ALL-NEW instructional DVDs (see them HERE) and in over 2000+ blog posts, penny stocks are the most hyped and corrupt niche in the entire investment world. These two qualities make them the easiest to profit from (legally) because the vast majority of people who play penny stocks are suckers and all-around ignorant people. If you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have a clear advantage and it's like playing basketball against mental midgets.

Where Do You Find Stocks To Trade?

This is the #1 FAQ (see more HERE) and it is answered in THIS instructional DVD.

Of course, that's just a brief introduction - to receive a full education, there is Tim's book An American Hedge Fund which is the story of his remarkable rise and lessons learned.

To truly increase your odds at profit, Tim has designed an entire set of detailed instructional DVDs, covering all the variables that amount to over 24 hours of instruction (see them all HERE)!
