No positions right now, here’s a list of a whole bunch of potential PennyStocking plays (in order of how likely it is I’ll play ‘em)

SYNM—really likin’ how much this is up so quickly, of course earnings are part of it, ideally it breaks out of its multi-month cup and handle, resistance around $1.50, but with a strong pattern like this, it could squeeze more, c’mon you pumpers, get this thing to $2 and I’ll love ya!

WSCI—on watch for multi-month and multi-day cup and handle breakouts, breaks $12.15ish and you’ve got a new high over multiple timeframes, I liiiiike, just gotta be careful of fakeout breakouts

wsci 14 Hot Stocks: How Their Charts Look And How Ill Play Em

VISN—slow mover, breaking out nonetheless, glad I recommended it to the CBS crew as a “long-term investment” a few weeks ago.

CTDC—old school typical-Chinese-complete-piece-of-crap company spiker (not racist just realist) back in play, let’s see how far it goes before the inevitable dump

ctdc 14 Hot Stocks: How Their Charts Look And How Ill Play Em

XIN—another Chinese spiker, last time it spiked it went horizontal for a month—and that was when the markets were all getting crushed—aka don’t be so quick to short cuz a fast reversal is unlikely

USU—coulda woulda shorted into that perfect afternoon fade, good news + wasn’t up enough for me though, gotta hafta needta just go for it when the stock tells you it’s up enuf…with 1-month price action like that, never underestimate how bitter shareholders are aka willing to sell into any bounce

usu 14 Hot Stocks: How Their Charts Look And How Ill Play Em

QTWW—beautiful long-term cup and handle, lots o resistance though, but closer to buying it than shorting it

qtww 14 Hot Stocks: How Their Charts Look And How Ill Play Em

SIGA—only it’s first up day, c’mon 2-3 more!

siga 14 Hot Stocks: How Their Charts Look And How Ill Play Em

NXTM—I like the continued strength, where it’ll stop nobody knows, out goes Y-O-U, you early short sellers that is

nxtm 14 Hot Stocks: How Their Charts Look And How Ill Play Em

XIDE=CPST—two stocks making perfect and perfectly gradual breakouts, buying is good for “investors” and those with capital and guts, I’ll have nothing to do with that

xide 14 Hot Stocks: How Their Charts Look And How Ill Play Em

cpst 14 Hot Stocks: How Their Charts Look And How Ill Play Em

COT=BPAX=PRTS—three POS stocks that after big runups, have all gone horizontal, now it’s either time to fade, plunge or spike, watch for small cracks—either up or down—accompanied by volume to determine whether you buy or short…volume’s so light right now, I’m avoiding all of ‘em

Tim you just call micro caps POSs but do you have any evidence that micro cap stocks on average don't go up (or go up less than the market)? I realize the sucess of your strategy only needs fading spikes to work but I've read that small crap stocks do better over time than large cap ones.

timsykes

evidence is that after 9 years, 99.9% of the stocks i've played have never made it past single digits. in time, u'll learn ALL their news--except for earnings--is meaningless, they surge on hype, lies and manipulation, but only so long before the cold hard truth catches up to them: their stocks are only out there so they can raise $ for their fledgling businesses.

u read some report for investors, these are no investable companies. think of them like chips on a table, that'll help u cut through all the BS. i understand how cynical this sounds, but welcome to the battlefield

DayTrader

Timm!!!

haha thnx man...I shorted USU and got those fat 9% out of it!!! Looked to good to be true but got it this time... i bought it after u mentioned that you were taking a look at them!

I got a stock that has been stuck in a phase for bout 4 months know (between support and resistance) and i've managed to get 50% everytime i play it

stephensamperi

Tim, the perspective you view the stock market is what i keep telling people. I agree wtih you and believe it is obvious that stocks move based on emotion and the plain fact that someone wants to make money on the trade. They didnt touch on this concept at all during the two years i was a Finance major in college. In school they just explain all these rediculously complicated equations.

Do you focus on cheap stocks just because they are so much more volatile than the expensive ones? What kind of mojo does a USU have that a BIDU doesnt?

timsykes

cheap stocks have dumber people, people who act based on their emotions...no competition from smarter institutions/traders who are after big $...which is why this area is so much easier to play

A

Tim,

Even though you have a preference for cheap stocks, I've never seen you trade stocks less than $1. Why is that? The percetage gains could be a lot larger, and the patterns that you crave are there as well.

AHOLE

YOU BUT IN THE SHIT FACES ANYONE CAN SHOW CHARTS FO STOCK THAT HAVE ALREADY RISEN ALOT WHY DOES YOU FAG ASS SHOW CHART OF THE STOCKS THAT WILL SOAR FORM WHAT THEY ARE ALREADY AT THE BOTTOM, WHY BECUASE YOU DO NOT KNOW AND YOU NOTHIGN MORE THAN A COCK SUCKER

timsykes

A--risk reward on stocks under $1 isnt good, especially for short selling, my specialty...but if a 10 center became a 80 center in a few days, i might just be tempted...i go wherever the patterns are

#7--i dont try to predict breakouts, thats much tougher, i just short the crap wen it rises, much much easier, aka welcome to why my track record rocks and i dont have to hide behind any aliases

JJ

#7 - is a lot like the others out there who obviously havn't done their d&d on your style of successful trading. ignorance i guess.

Stock Market!

Hey Tim,

I seriously want to know why you closed your Hedge Fund?? Is it true that you failed and lost -37% of the money (Sorry but thats what people have been telling me :S )...

I just finished your book and just wanted to say it was awesome bro..keep it going truly inspiring!

timsykes

if u read my book u know why i closed my fund. yes i lost 35%, but nobody was asking for their $ back, i just had to speak my mind and teach others this strategy

InvestorsLive.com

Great Stocks TIm, keep up the good scans.

Wow it's been a few days without the haters.. quite a stretch .. but weak attempt by #7 up there... all Tim showed was beautiful charts and beautiful women... and the his strategy as he's been teaching is not finding stocks that will soar 1000% so why would you challenge him to that?? Find another blog... lol

but then again... ISRG did just about double since it was on his charts... so way to go ha

Ju

MWY up from 1.80 to 2.90, been holding for abouty a month. Planning to long, is there any signs or reasons why i shouldn't?

greg

tim, just wanting to know why you dont hold any stocks for more than 10 min. Do you just not have the balls or what?

timsykes

greg sometimes i hold for a few hours...but if i have a loss, my thesis was obviously wrong, so i gotta get out and when i have 5-10% profits quickly, i like to take em...i suck at exact timing, so once i'm over the 25k hump, u'll see i like to scale in and out whereas right now i cant do that

sj

hey tim,

wot do u think about PIR..looks overbought...

InvestorsLive.com

Tim - I like the XIN set up the best, if it runs out of open I think that's a great opportunity to short but if it ends up being a slow climb I will definitely stalk this one.. It just about filled that gap back near the first of March but could easily squeeze to 12 since its such low volume...

SYNM almost a double top - Would you consider shorting if it keeps that double top (under 1.30) and appears to show weakness? Or just throw it away unless it does squeeze to a worthy pennystalking style short?

CTDC and USU had almost the exact same set ups...

Thanks and keep up the good work

puma

PIR shares are up on news of them selling their headquarters, this seems like hype but it will add to the earnings per share, not so much a charting play as a earnings play. Better plays are out there. Maybe Tim can elaborate.

timsykes

i don't give a F%^# why PIR is up, but it's taking out multi-month resistance and has what a $1 maybe $2 of downside, pleaseeeeeee avoid

InvestorsLive.com

Finally figured out why Tim is SO slow to respond to questions on Thursday nights!!

This is a little bit off topic...but FSLR looking a bit extended...everybody is talking about the solars, time to short these suckers soon?? (in the meantime might have to go long for a day or two as this breaks new highs..after it broke from that triangle there was/is no stopping this thing)

We just need our 800 pd gorilla of a market to turn red AND all this positive fluff to succumb to the forces of the bear market.

A

#7 and Greg's comments are what makes this blog so great and entertaining. I love the trasparency of TIM and wish the talking heads on CNBC and the financial journalists had to answer to their listener's straight talk like Tim does. Keep up the good work!

tsa

Like SYNM, you have QTWW which is spiking too!

timsykes

got 3 SYNM borrowed to short if i need it, price action looking pathetic from the get go

lmsmith

EMKR- is always a perfect short

Dan

Tim what do you think about IDMI right now, Thanks

timsykes

short 3k SYNM at $1.20, risky, but i like this negative action, especially if it can take out $1.15...

IDMI bores me, no volatility

Val

What about USU here - starting to look a little weak to me. Thanks!

Jeff C

Roger that Tim, have been short 200 SYNM

Jeff C

Wish I could afford 3k, but sooner than later I will....I agree with that 1.15 resistance it looks like it's heading there

lmsmith

Any one short Jaso- or Solf- off this morning high??

Jeff C

YTBLA BLEEDING OUT

lmsmith

synm...nice short

samd

Tim,
What charting software do you use?

samd

Tim,
What charting software do you use? Good to see SYNM doing well for you and others.

Banana

Hi Tim,
Why did you go with SYNM instead of SIGA (obviously a wise decision now)? They seemed to have similar charts? Can you elaborate on this? Was it volume? Was it market conditions? I really appreciate this site.

timsykes

siga was only its first up day, acted strong, synm its the 3rd day and it had a weak open, went negative

Banana

Gotcha - thanks. Do you always wait for at least 3 moderate days of gains before you think about shorting? Do you wait for a fade or the weak open to make your decision? What if there was one major gap up, a massive spike, do you immediately jump into the short?

timsykes

each play is different, see all my strategies here:

http://www.timothysykes.com/dvd/

Banana

Nice! I've been thinking about it, if anything to support your website.

dropout

I have long positions in
ACUS, ASTM, and SYNM.
Already up 60-80% in ACUS and SYNM should I hold.
Also ASTM isn't really moving, but I expect it will get a surge at some point.
Any thoughts?

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)!
