This is the kind of pattern I like to short into, but only when the stock have risen enough and displayed some signs of sideways price action/possible reversal…so far only VION has and that’s why I’m short 1,000 shares overnight, looking for a 10-20% reversal, everything else I’m stalking…

Off topic a bit but there are a lot of RealMoney/TheStreet.com readers here. I am shocked and dismayed that they have allowed Lenny Dykstra to start posting on the site and offer a premium newsletter!

Please, please be forewarned. His strategy is extremely dangerous and undisciplined. DO not believe any numbers they tell you about success rate. After Lenny stopped writing in the fall, his portfolio lost over $150,000 that they aren

BTW, Tim the site is REALLY slow tonight, just FYI

I'm short SNTS before this article even exposed its bad self. Real tight stop though we will have to wait and see what morning brings.

Justin

Man, linking to Google finance - I thought you were all about Yahoo! Finance! Pfft. Look at those hammers / shooting stars; nice.

silentmax

ei to the guys using thestreet.com im curious has your video been working properly their video feeds now are crap

If you consider shorting SNTS for a short term trade be careful here. Shares are being accumulated by longs recently. This stock has been the bad recepient of a bogus Patent challenge by a generic. SNTS is very likely to win and growth is up Q over Q for the past three. Just a quick synopsis and look at the charts, but I wouldn't short at this point. Maybe when the stock was at $5-$6 and only then because of the lawsuit.

So with the news that vvtv has missed eps by 9 cents and nbc not putting its shares up for sale do you think the stock will go up or down. Could you tell me asap? thank you.

VION, Nasdaq delisting notice, niiiiice:

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/080326/nyw023.html?...

SNTS, u mistakenly believe the microcrap's facts actually matter, It's on my watchlist but it just broke a key technical level to the upside...so i do agree with u that its nowhere near a short, just for diff reasons

VVTV, i like the afternoon fade yesterday but the downside is too little to interest me

coolguy

Bah, little interest on something that dropped over 8%?

Tony Ellis

bought TITN @ 21.5

timsykes

covered VION @ 2.15ish...nice $300 profit

borrowed shares of COIN and BPAX for possible shorts later today

impressive, if not earth shattering, fades on VVTV, HALO, SEED means its a good environment to be a short seller!

timsykes

shorted 1,000 BPAX at $3.28, could be just a morning fakeout, but c'mon reversal!

tsa

SOLF is on down trend this morning

Max

Also short 300 shares of BPAX @ 3.31

price action and volume looking good (I could have shorted at 3.33 but I hesitated)

tsa

1000s short BPAX average price 3.25

tsa

Buy back half at 3.12, don't know if it is too early or not, it seems to be a lots to 3.08 from 3.02

timsykes

covered my BPAX at $3.17ish, off by a few cents, but i dont like these big buy blocks either, i prefer easy meltdowns :)

timsykes

is it just me or did yahoo finance remove the time stamps on PRs to make u click them to have to see the time!

tsa

20 min ago I decided to cover my position completely at 3.12, so a nice $130 in the pocket, thanks TIM for the call!

Davey

Nope I'm seeing that too, and if that's permanent that is really annoying

Max

covered my 300 BPAX at 3.16 - the price action and (utter lack of) volume simply became too opaque for any sort of rational risk/reward evaluation

Hey Tim,

If I understood right you started a Hedge Fund some years ago (Cilantro, right ?) and failed (this happens of course).
Seeing your trading technique here, I am simply wondering if you were applying the same recipe. Is a Hedge Fund adapted to microcaps trading (I mean liquidity and market size) ? How many million dollars did you manage in Cilantro and why wasn't it successful ? Not enough diversification ? Volatility squeeze ?

Just curious.

Continue the good job with the blog, it's entertaining and interesting. Too bad I don't know the companies you're trading. Even if TA does not care about the company, it's good to know if they are selling jeans, coffee or nuclear plants. lol

timsykes

Sequoia, read my book, the whole story is there, that's why i wrote it, so i dont have to keep explaining the past and can focus on teaching people what's worked year in and year out (hint, my hedge fund lost 35% cuz i ignored my trading rules, fell in love with a company and had a large stake in an illiquid stock)

manhack

i'm wondering why you didn't hold you VION short...been dropping steadily. My guess is you just like to pop out with a sure thing.

timsykes

yup 10% overnight, too easy to take...also low volume/spread/big buy blocks (which later got taken out) all helped my decision...probly goin under $2, but that extra $150 wasnt worth the risk/me waiting all day...really thought BPAX would tank 50 cents so $500 more important than $150

Sequoia

Ok
And do you wish to start a new HF in the future or do you think your credibility is now dead among professional investors ?

timsykes

LOL, i'm only 35% off my highs, look at the LTCM guys who lost 99%, they're all running billion dollar funds again. i get plenty of offers, but I don't want to, I'd prefer to teach...also as u'll see my core strategy isn't right for big hedge funds, it's ideal for smaller investors/traders

tsa

BPAX short 1,600 shares at $3.21

tsa

Took my profit @ $3.16

personal finance blog

Damn..I dump HALO..what a POS..small stink $160 profit...

I know..YHOO sucks. their ad system sucks..Is it good idea to get some 2009 call option for just in case MS pays Yahoo $40 per share..?

casio

no (obvious to me) chances to short COIN "later in the day" as you'd hoped. it dropped, but i didn't see that coming.
i almost want to buy a 1000 COIN before close and expect a gap-up. i'm too new at all of this to make such a leap of faith, though.

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)!
