No trades today, just a review of all the microcrap happenings…no matter how hungover or how many meetings/chores/classes  you have,  always always always review and prowl the landscape for potential opportunities

landscape Stock Market Opportunities Come And Go Quickly aka Always Be On The Prowl

Isn’t that pretty? Awww almost as pretty as VVTV, MALL and HALO spiking at the open, now up just a little, breakdowns still possible, but justifying my decision to cut my shorts so quickly yesterday…little losses on the screen/website aren’t pretty, but they’re prettier than big losses kinda, more short sellers should learn to trade so scared…maybe then the category as a whole wouldn’t put up such god awful numbers all the time!

Lots of little microcraps surging today….good…yesterday I asked the market gods to give me some stuff to short and it looks like they’ve complied…solars and agris all getting warmed up: SOLF, ASTI, AKNS, CSIQ, the whole COIN family—COIN, COINW and COINZ, TITN (getting close to an all-time high breakout), SEED, NOEC…basically every stock I detailed in this article about agris and my now classic post about solar stocks, Solar’s Eleven

No, I’m not buying them—I don’t buy random 1-day price surges, I buy breakouts, meaning all-time high breakouts (and no not CALM, it’s waaaaaay too pricey for little Tim, what am I gonna buy 100 shares?!?!?) But I am glad to see the beginnings of something I might short into…for now, I stay on the sidelines, working on the much talked about but little shown TIMtv and TIMradio…two projects that will be in your face when my new websites—yup, another new site—goes live on my birthday April 15, 2008…get ready to take financial to the next level….think thestreet.com + Facebook or fool.com but good

Also, check out my two latest sponsors, GFT Forex, who deal in, yup, you guessed it, forex trading (the most liquid market in the world, aka something where there are always plays and leverage galore) and a FREE Pennysleuth Report featuring 3 stocks apparently poised to move 300% (somebody sign up and tell me what stocks those are so I can look to short into that kind of move, LOL)…two verrrrry different examples of all the fun financial niches in which you can try to make some loot


PS Also keep an eye on 2 microcrap biotech plays BPAX and VION, potential shorts there too

PPS I can’t stop Twittering, this junk is gonna be huge

UPDATE: BPAX closed strong, 2nd big up day, tomorrow’ll be interesting…SEED got mentioned on CNBC, spiked 50 cents, I played it safe, stayed away, stop dropped 50 cents…coulda woulda shoulda…gotta laugh at this simplistic thestreet.com article about it, saying today’s rise is due toMonday morning’s PR, yeah right! More like today’s an agri momo day…but they can’t print that…classic misinformation, aka opportunity/inspiration for my site

UPDATE 2: Shorted 1,000 VION at $2.43 into a nice weak close…other than the manipulative painting the tape some desperate long did when he bought 100 shares at the close, lots of sell orders, gotta love that chart with a recent 1-10 reverse split, drop got steeper after their last “earnings” report…practically spells out THIS COMPANY IS FAILING FAST…goal is to hold to $2-ish

    SEED just mentioned on CNBC, up another 50 cents now, typical...not shorting it yet, could be a nice squeeze for early shorts just like when COIN was mentioned a few months back
  • be-the-ball
    seed has earnings tonight or tomorrow. tanked 30% on earnings last time
  • timsykes

    Tim-

    I know you cover Penny Stocking and Micro/Small "Craps", but I've been watching you trade for years, so I'm sure you can offer an opinion outside the box. I'm looking at STP. It's part of my retirement portfolio and it's gone OFF for big gains the past 2 days. I know you've had your fair share of plays with Chinese stocks/Solar Stocks, so what's your take on the last 2 days boom with it? Is it a good one to short? buy? watch? It's wayyyyyyy of the highs.

    Sorry if the comment is outside your discussion... your blog has upped my interest in the market exponentially.

    I actually randomly got a call today from some guy at Paulson Investments trying to get me on board for COIN. He claims they are opening plants starting in May with 3 or 4 plants by the end of the year, each plant will do 500 tons of product, $44 million revenue, 60% gross plofit. Some other stuff about a big announcement of them signing on some large partner or investor is due soon - likely by the end of the week. Not sure if anyone else has heard of Paulson but he's predicint $25/sh by the end of the year and $50 in the near future.

    stp, i like this solar bounce, but i like taking profits more...then again, i'm uually too early, so take it for what its worth

    COIN, sure, big things can happen, i'd love for it to breakout big, but NEVER LISTEN TO BS PRICE TARGETS
  • timsykes

    I have made HL my bitch the last two days, and honestly it sounds so retarded but it worked. Played HL from both ways and sold once it hit the bollinger bands and went long after, may sound stupid and simple but its a play that actually worked. Thinking about going long on CEF since it's starting to show a bit of prowess again, I'm on the ropes.

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)!
