I give the guy crap because he covers the most popular topics du jour, hasn’t been returning my emails as of late and for some unknown reason, still hasn’t received the copy of my book I’ve now sent him multiple times, but Big Picture Barry Ritholz is not only the world’s top investment blogger, he’s also 100% dead on about the blogging world and Adsense in this Yahoo! Tech Ticker Interview:

Key takeaways: Blogging success comes from being a hard ass, being opinionated and clearly expressing your points

Bloggers don’t have to be objective, we’re not journalists!

Financial journalism is a joke—journalism majors just report the news as they’re told, they don’t realize business/finance news can be skewed

I really gotta press home this last point, you should only listen to people who have continually proven their abilities to make money in the markets, their opinions matter, you can learn from the way they view the world, not the lemmings who report simply for a paycheck

Tim,

SCON - what do you think, possible super nova forming?

Al

Tim,
I'm way off

Mike

Is the "Sykes pattern" the same thing as a "super nova"?

timsykes

Al, great find on SCON, its got a ways to go before being a supernova, but its a nice momentum play.

Sykes pattern, supernova, yes, all the same, big microcrap runup on hype, fading volume, big rundown, simple

Alex

Tim,
How do you do your advertising, if not AdSense.

Also, check out ARTX...third up day in a row, up about 50% over past 2 weeks, although it's illiquid.

My guess is you traded SOLF today.

Alex

Mark

Max

conundrum:
short bpax @ 4.70 - should I take profits now at 4.33ish or hold till monday?

Jeff C

Watching ARTX, GLOB has a ways to go maybe, COT had an ANALyst upgrade that shot it up with the John Q Public's, whats the consensus on these? QBIK and SYBD have reversed nicely today too.......

Jeff C

Anyone ride HALO down too? :)

Max

well I just took my profit at $4.50

I guess I realize now that if I feel I want a second opinion on taking profit... I should just take it and run

lesson learned, and fortunately it was a profitable lesson...

Jason R.

Max, good trade!...You never loose taking profits in this market.

Tony Ellis

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)!
