(SOLF)—up 50% in 5 days, solid resistance at $15, but solid earnings today means the short side is limited, although it’s tough to be bullish either…let’s see how the pattern plays out, I’ll update tomorrow
(SOL)—another 50% gainer within a few days, solid earnings gainer today, nice sideways action between $11.50 and $12, that’ll either turn out to be nice support or resistance, tough to be short until that breaks
(AKNS)—now up 75% off its lows, today the shorts got squeezed by a magazine article mention, now this is some news to short into—financial journalism is a total joke! Nice short into resistance at $8
(ASTI)—up nearly 100% now, got a nice investment form blah blah blah today, squeezed the shorts…until the last hour. Ideally it bounces tomorrow, but either late tomorrow or Monday, it’ll be a great short when it goes negative under $14
(CSUN)—put in a nice bottom just over $6, but the strongest solar rally and it only goes up $1, P A T H E T I C…not volatile enough for me
(SPIR)—up 60% off panic selling—in actuality, up 30% off solid sideways price action at $12…much less liquid than these other guys, resistance at $18, not sure it’s worth touching either way here
(JASO)—the realest of all these companies, up 4 days in a row, but only 20% (sucks to be real, seriously!) (volatility-wise) I’ll leave it alone, I prefer fake/fraudulent/hype-filled stocks, say hello to the social security-earning investors for me!

EMKR: Insider buying reported today
March 28, 2008
EMKR was recently mentioned negatively by StockLemon aka http://www.citronresearch.com/. The stock has taken a beating in the past few days. Because of CitronResearch
emkr is not a buy, don’t try to catch falling knives
ahaha
How is your butler doing? Haha…karma is good…
Didn’t AKNS release earnings today?
i’m a jerkoff spammer!
Booo Tim-hater. Stop wasting your life tearing him down. First of all, he’s not hurting anyone. Second, ya he’s failed before, but Tim doesn’t give up. And third, he’s just out there trying to have fun. SO please, find something else to do with your time.
The original TIM, http://www.wired.com/wired/arc.....money.html They had a webcam on the trading floor, message boards, commentary blogs, posted all trades realtime, etc.
thanks for the link mike, too bad it didnt last very long!

REED squeeze potential!
REED up 40 cents premarket, gotta love the squeeze, gotta have more balls to buy into the close on such strength even if it is a micropumper
I am on the same wave with you TIM… these stocks will eventually turn sideways and go down……. I use to be one of those solar longs wondering what the hell was going on, when I bought the damn stock when it was up- hoping the next day it will go up even more, Only to disappoint and go down……It is such a trend….just waiting for the perfect time to Short these stocks, especially AKNS
reserved shares of REED and ASTI, no AKNS…goood I’m sleepy I dont want to have to short all these plays same day….big lunch meeting also gonna be interesting to fit this all in!
you read my mind…I’ve reserved all three also.
I am short in premarket on REED at $4.80
How could you leave ESLR off this list…This one is easy.
Take a look at an apparal stock…JOEZ. It seems like something you would have a comment or two on.
damn…should went long REED at 4.6
short 1,000 REED at 4.75
Covered on REED, wait for another spike to short again
out at 4.45, gotta take advantage of the morning dump, especially with a lunch meeting, nice and easy $300 profit
BPAX - how about shorting this?
yeahhhh tsa, how great is this game, also watch BPAX, if i wasn’t gutless, i’d be long that pumper!
BPAX increased yesterday, today again, I won’t short it today, wait for another day
haha yeah Al, i’m doing something right u guys know where the plays r at!
ASTI, may have to raise my sell short limit order @ 20.
Hard to be filled on REED now, very few lots exchanged, I am obliged to hide mines and to play few at each time.
Hey guys SYBD taken the DUMP!
OH…maybe NONAME should learn how to cut and paste!!!!
reshort REED at $4.50-ish, too tough to stay green/go up big on the 3rd day of a big runup, fading volume, big sellers all above…Friday squeeze still possible, but I like my chances here for a 1-2 day hold
WH - three day double top
no WH is still up on the day, a double top when a stock goes down! thats like somebody calling a doubletop on BPAX yesterday and look what happened there…gotta short into weakness on strong stocks, not strength on strong stocks cuz they go further than u think
Tim,
That was me yesterday. Thanks again for the lesson
How many shares did you reserve this morning, I’ve been trying all day to get shares of REED but TOS says they have none today.
Any one still holding their REED Short? Looks like it’s tanking
tim, around where are you looking for an exit point with reed?
gotta get up early and reserve your hard-to-borrows, i got mine around 8am…
just covered half at $4.29, lunch meeting, cant risk it
Timmy’s got the in on shorts. Good call on REED…wish I could find shares to short! This rate your on your way to 25k :)
Covered other half of REED at $3.88!!! AWESOME AND PREDICTABLE
$17,360
suck on that haters!
Covered Reed as well……… Tim… I am waiting for you to hit 25k, patiently…..
Sorry if my question is stupid but what is all that fuss about the 25K barrier ?
Thnks
This is cut and paste off my fav site (execpt your timmy, your the best): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytrading
“Pattern day trader is a term defined by the SEC to describe any trader who buys and sells a particular security in the same trading day (day trades), and does this four or more times in any five consecutive business day period. A pattern day trader is subject to special rules. The main rule being that in order to engage in pattern day trading the trader must maintain an equity balance of at least $25,000 in a margin account”
Really what this means is, until you have 25K you can not buy and sell stocks the same day as many times as you want…or your account will be freezed!
would you re-short REED again if it spikes a little more or would you not touch this stock again.
Thanks Gary !!!
That rule is amazing. Here in France we can do whatever we want. And I read Tim saying that he was borrowing titles to short them later in the day. In France we have a list of about 170 stocks which are authorized to shorting. Yes, that’s a “short” list to short :-)
Very instructive here about trading the US market.
PS : ordered my Tim Sykes Hedge Fund book this morning on Amazon.
SOLF Down trending….so like itself
I did a good move, short on HALO 4,000 sh at $6.51 but covered to early because it decreases again….
Tim,
How come you don’t get in trouble for breaking the rule? I don’t know how many times you’ve been breaking that rule, man. I’m not hating but I just don’t understand how the rule doesn’t apply to you
short from 6.69 yesterday. May cover on any big dips since I have to leave the house.
anyone followed suit and shorted SOLF??? It’s going down lovely… at least another .50
