(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!

  • MikeG
    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.
  • Mike
    The original TIM, http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.07/newmone... They had a webcam on the trading floor, message boards, commentary blogs, posted all trades realtime, etc.
  • timsykes

    REED squeeze potential!
  • timsykes
    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
  • lmsmith
    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
  • timsykes
    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!
  • Tony Ellis
    you read my mind...I've reserved all three also.
  • tsa
    I am short in premarket on REED at $4.80
  • Jay
    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.
  • Tony Ellis
    damn...should went long REED at 4.6
  • timsykes
    short 1,000 REED at 4.75
  • tsa
    Covered on REED, wait for another spike to short again
  • timsykes
    out at 4.45, gotta take advantage of the morning dump, especially with a lunch meeting, nice and easy $300 profit
  • Al
    BPAX - how about shorting this?
  • timsykes
    yeahhhh tsa, how great is this game, also watch BPAX, if i wasn't gutless, i'd be long that pumper!
  • tsa
    BPAX increased yesterday, today again, I won't short it today, wait for another day
  • timsykes
    haha yeah Al, i'm doing something right u guys know where the plays r at!
  • Tony Ellis
    ASTI, may have to raise my sell short limit order @ 20.
  • tsa
    Hard to be filled on REED now, very few lots exchanged, I am obliged to hide mines and to play few at each time.
  • Gary
    Hey guys SYBD taken the DUMP!
  • Gary
    OH...maybe NONAME should learn how to cut and paste!!!!
  • timsykes
    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
  • Al
    WH - three day double top
  • timsykes
    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
  • Al
    Tim,

    That was me yesterday. Thanks again for the lesson
  • Davey
    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.
  • lmsmith
    Any one still holding their REED Short? Looks like it's tanking
  • NeilTheRealDeal
    tim, around where are you looking for an exit point with reed?
  • timsykes
    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
  • Gary
    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 :)
  • timsykes
    Covered other half of REED at $3.88!!! AWESOME AND PREDICTABLE

    $17,360


    suck on that haters!
  • lmsmith
    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
  • Gary
    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!
  • tyler
    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.
  • lmsmith
    SOLF Down trending....so like itself
  • tsa
    I did a good move, short on HALO 4,000 sh at $6.51 but covered to early because it decreases again....
  • Joseph
    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
  • manhack
    short from 6.69 yesterday. May cover on any big dips since I have to leave the house.
  • lmsmith
    anyone followed suit and shorted SOLF??? It's going down lovely... at least another .50
  • Dan
    Nice work today, Tim.
  • NeilTheRealDeal
    no I think you can trade all you want if it is a cash only account. to trade borrowed funds (margin account) you need to maintain atleast 25k. am I right?
  • Adrian
    Was long solf took a little hit was going to short but its a risky play right now instead went short akns
  • NeilTheRealDeal
    nevermind I was wrong. you need 25k in your own equity to make more than 3 round trip trades in a 1 week period. now I'm confused as well. I'm wondering how Tim gets by this. Seperate accounts?
  • Tony Ellis
    Nice sideways action on ASTI
  • S Adams
    Watching SCON. Long now short later?
  • timsykes
    only have 1 account, now worth $17360. yah i'd reshort REED today if i could--probly into a weak close, looking for it to go under $4 next week--but afraid of doing too many trades so i won't do any more today.

    as i've said, TOS has told me i've been flagged as a pattern day trader but they won't restrict me unless i abuse margin...its so gray area, i'm just thankful for the few trades i can do, will look to reshort REED on monday, hopefully it can get a little spike here, but its not looking to good
  • S Adams
    Fargan Schwab wouldn't let me short AKNS at 8.05. No shares.
  • lmsmith
    I shorted 1k shares of pos AKNS at 7.62..... holding... I believe it will drop back around 5 ish....
    sill holding my solf short.

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)!
