Market Manipulation Vs. Real Stocks, Guess Which Offers More Predictable Profits!

Gotta start the fun off by featuring the chart of the manipulation scheme du jour, CVSC (no need to detail the company; whoever’s promoting it doesn’t care, so neither should you!)

Notice how each day now the daily gain is getting larger right alongside the trading volume—methinks a blow out is coming sooner rather than later, in a similar fashion to the blatant manipulation schemes of Christmas’ Past

But, then again, it doesn’t have that far to fall…yet, so hopefully this promoter is as cunning as Roger Clemens–meaning he has the will to cheat for the long run–and concoct a chart like this:

Back in real stock land (boooooooooo!), I def. wanted to short LULU’s $4+ gain at the market open—‘twas only up so much cuz some ANALyst said blah blah blah, squeezing the shorts—hardly any chance at holding a 20% move without dropping a little considering the collapse over the past few days leads many longs to sell into any bounce. Unfortunately, no shares available to short, strange for such a large company, $2 drop before 10am made me cringe, but it coulda woulda shoulda just been a quick scalp as the stock finished stroooooooong.

Another stock in a nasty multi-day downtrend, COIN, caught shorts off guard at the open, spiking $1+. Not surprisingly, no shares available to short. $1 drop before 10am—same pattern due to dip buyers taking profits, bitter investors in at higher price cutting their losses—all very much predictable, but also not a big move, as the stock came back. Actually looked like a potential buy late in the day as it broke the morning highs, but it failed to breakout more than 5 cents, aka a double top, as there was a wall of sellers at every turn (why I prefer buying only into pure breakouts to new highs)

And in retrospect, I coulda woulda shoulda bought any of these falling knives I posted HERE last night, but even in today’s ideal up market I’d mostly be up 20-40 cents/share on each of them—which due to my pathetic timing skills wouldn’t leave me much room for high probability profits. Good avoidance. I won’t even post their charts cuz I don’t wanna set a bad example for you kids out there.

TIM Lesson: There are both small predictable moves and large ones, focus on large moves—less headache, better risk-reward, bigger gains, more spare time, aka don’t become a scalper like Uncle Timmay! (considering that while I’ve gotten better at focusing on the big gains, I still take infantile gains—gotta get better if TIM has any shot at the big-time)

    HI Tim,

    New to your blog. Love it. What are your thoughts on shorting SWC.

    Thanks
  • timsykes
    thanks, do a search on this blog for SWC or look in the forums, basically it was a good short off the top but its risky now
  • puma
    so are you buying cvsc for short-term, given thats theres minimal downside and possibly unlimted upside?

    given that the market may be bullish for a few days think it can get dragged up, then dropped down? (then it'll be a good short? if available)
  • timsykes
    i might buy some CVSC intraday for 20-30 cents but i'm too scred of a morning collapse/SEC halt to hold overnight. trade scared and u cant get burned
  • Brian D
    Reminds me of a certain RGEN play during December. Strong volume, and the ability to not hold its highs followed by a nice tank a bit of retesting and a further tank.

  • timsykes
    Damn CVSC down 30%, scary predictable, couldn't find any to short though :(
  • The Barber
    cvsc is a buy for a quick pop
  • The Barber
    If it breaks back past 2.00 for sure
  • The Barber
    Coin is just gonna keep its down trend into the single digits... no buyers left very low volume
  • The Barber
    Coin/ dead cat bounce yesterday...short covering no natural buyers
  • The Barber
    Everyone in my office is short..I recommend my friends on this blog as well..
  • timsykes
    experience teaches me yes, COIN will drift down to the single digits, but its not definite and even if it does, there will be many spikes along the way. also u forget it took a damn long time to break the 9-11 range, lots of support around 10, so there's some downside, there's some upside, i'll wait to see a gradual daily decline like i like
  • Mazda3jdm
    CVSC took a big fall just like you perdicted Tim
  • Adam
    Take a look at HYBR, I received a text on 2/12/08 (pump) and it was trading around $4. That day was a perfect short entry unfortunately etrade doesn't have any available to borrow. It went down almost immediately! It looks like it is being pumped again and if anyone can find shares, let me know where!
  • Stan
    tim - dont u think it will be tough to get to single digits considering actions by the fed, the big boost yesterday.. which may have its effects for a few days followed by a possible rate cut next tuesday/wed??
  • Stan
    what im saying it might take a long time like 3 weeks for coin to be going down to single digits because of where the market is heading what do u think?
  • Lisa
    Coin's movement has no correlation with market's movement.
    it may get pumped again, or it may continue it's downtrend
  • Stan
    explain how then COIN went up $1 a share yesterday and CONW $1.5% nearly 10% when the dow had a record day.

    Probably that now pumping and manipulation has ended which accounts for all its gains when the market was going down. yes its going to continue its downtrend but also is now slightly influenced by the rest of the market as well as yesterday shows.
  • bryan
    bostob beer..SAM.......supernovaesk? has sideways action...what do u think? too expensive and great earnings mean its too risky?
  • bryan
    boston beer? SAM supernova? good sideways action? short biased? i know its not american to short beer let alone american real beer.
  • timsykes
    sam can never be a supernova, its a real company! no matter the pattern, institutions are involved, avoid

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)!
