    Tim, this video serve no purpose for your audience. Why did you post this? Do you find it entertaining to watch a non-resistant person get victimized? I have little faith in you future man as an entreprenuer if you continue to promote negativity? You’ve let the world know that you have money and someone is eventually going to file a lawsuit against you for your non-related antics! Becareful man, and stick to the objectives of your blog. And the Tag to the video… “Funny Links”. Man, your disgusting!!!!

    Tim … TOS account is open and will be funded in about a week. I’m looking to play the more high probability plays such as IDMI, DARA, and now PSTI as I won’t be able to watch the price action all day. Too bad I missed PSTI, but there will be more. I’ve read every blog post and think I’m equipped that I could do it on my own, but your posting of the charts sure saves me the time. Keep up the good work! The vast majority of my retirement funds are locked up in other sissy value investments … LOL! Trading my TOS account is going to be much more fun.

    Hey Tim,

    You speak of the “stupid longs” with respect to E-Trade….aren’t they your primary broker? I’d be worried about all of the assets you have in your brokerage account if I were you. I currently have a savings acct at E-Trade and I’m seriously considering pulling everything out although it’s an FDIC bank. I don’t trust financial institutions after watching the debacle at Bear Sterns unfold.

    i agree with the other guys on here. posting that video was wrong man. your entitled to your own stuff on a blog, but that video does nothing to teach us about people acting poorly to achieve fame. how can we profit from that?

  11. 11timsykes

    April 12th, 2008 at 7:34 pm

    u naive little people, think outside the box for once…just like ashley dupre and thousands of penny stocks, the video represents gutter trash spiking in popularity/recognition JUST LIKE thousands of penny stocks before them. just as disgusting as this girls video is, so are the people behind these penny stock companies. u must recognize that

    if u’re gonna learn pennystocking, u need to leave your biases at the door…otherwise, have fun with lower percentage trades that require more capital….kinda like betting IDXX will drop $5 next week (as some idiot keeps emailing me about)

    Of course the video is disgusting, but beyond the video, the girls just did what the professionals behind these POS stocks do. The girls have hyped up their own stock and now they gained what they wanted…a little fame, popularity, and tons of attention. In all likelihood, they’ll being doing television interviews soon and become even more famous because of people willing to take advantage of their fame. All biases aside, I can see how it mirrors the action of POS stocks, unfortunately. What say you Timmay?

  13. 13timsykes

    April 12th, 2008 at 8:32 pm

    EXACTLY! welcome to the scummy world of PennyStocking, lots of classier niches, but none so predictable…because the gutter trash IS PREDICTABLE

  14. 14douche

    April 12th, 2008 at 8:39 pm

    thats why your a piece of $#%^. you go and call us naive little people just because we dont agree with you. what makes you so special with your little penny stocks. penny stocks aren’t tangible assets. why dont u learn that before you tell us what to recognize. theses are real people. once the spike in popularity falls there’s no money to be made. all your left with is a victim, and t8 girls that pretty much through their lives away. all i’m saying is its a poor choice of a metaphor.

    “U naive little people”? What a way to gather an Audience! These people took the time to provide you with advise. You chose to ingore them and ridicule them for you own satisfaction. Listen buddy, that video has nothing to do with penny-stocking! I feel sorry for the unfortunate future your about to have. My suggestion, plead out of court and apologize to all the people that tried to direct you for the better.

    #19 and #20, i don’t care about getting an audience who isn’t open minded…p0ennystocking is all about finding trashy companies that spike due to hype—–no different than these girls video…if u can’t understand that, u’ll never understand pennystocking….see ya never, i don’t care…i look to teach open minded people who understand that the truth sometimes ain’t pretty…leave your biases and emotions at the door or don’t enter in the first place….good luck trying to find somebody else wiling to lay it all on the line….i actually like the fact that some people are offended….shows how emotions get in the way for most people–i’m not a “friendly host”, i aint yo friend, i’m showing u how i perceive the market and while that may be out of line with what u believe, its helped me attain my superior track record…this aint ego, it’s just cynicism, deal with it.

    and to quote this idiot: “once the spike in popularity falls there’s no money to be made”

    EXACTLY–i just wanna bet on that fall in popularity, then i could care less…learn my strategy before commenting/attempting to think

    Hahah keep it comin u sentimental types, i love it! u’re right, i gotta be careful, i might screw up my tiny tiny market of people actually believing penny stocks are worthwhile “investments” (sarcasm, if u even know what that means)…u guys are idiots, thank u, u, your inability to research( i feature this video to show u whats bad, not to promote it!) and your sentimentality allow these small companies/gutter trash to spike so quickly in popularity…making this pattern so reliable, please dont ever change!

    PS u can stop coming here at ANY TIME, good luck finding anybody else in penny stock land as brutally honest as me…i have no problem with being gracious and respectful, but u have to earn it…given this niche’s sleaziness, you’re guilty until proven innocent…sorry just seen too much crap not to know any better

    Who cares about the video he said it was horrible on the paragraph before that… Anyways, what do you think about ETFC and buying before earnings? Also, what is your take on Visa.
    Thanks

    After hearing about etrade possibly going bankrupt, I wanted to check out thinkorswim - they are a member of FINRA, so are insured for $100,000 cash per account, and $400,000 for securities in the account. I linked the membership page to my name. Supposedly Etrade is insured also, so if they go bankrupt your money will be stuck for 1 to 3 months (a pain, but better than losing it).

10 stocks to watch today

PDO already up $1.25, sux I'll be away all morning workin' on TIMtv, got 500 shares reserved to short if need be this afternoon

Also reserved 3,000 FORC and KYUS for potential shorts

May 15, 2008

Yup, by next Monday, everything's gonna be real working-like!

May 15, 2008

PDO, up $4+ today, will teach you not to randomly short strong penny stocks, get in, get out then run...cuz sometimes they squeeze stubborn shorts to death!

May 15, 2008

No ideal short plays today, check out these 2 interviews while we wait for price action perfection

I wish I'd listened to my own rulebook, instead got squeezed for $400 shorting blatant-fraud KYUS too early...someone needs a refresher course this weekend!

I nailed NCOC's 20% rise today in my pre-market post, but I was too biased against buying little breakouts, learn from my mistakes!
