Which Would You Prefer: $1 Million Or 1 Million Page Views?

As detailed by Chapter 8 in my book An American Hedge Fund, I made my first million dollars in 4 years and before my 22nd birthday, hitting that mark—post-tax—after making $80,000+ on one crazy trade over a satellite internet connection while aboard a cruise ship in the South Pacific! (seriously)

Yesterday—just 6 months into my blogging adventure and two days before my 27th birthday, this website hit the coveted 1 million views mark.

tim page views Which Would You Prefer: $1 Million Or 1 Million Page Views?

Since that first $1 million, it’s been a wild 5 years filled with tremendous ups and downs but the learning has never stopped. Obviously if I had to choose between dollars vs. page views, I’d choose dollars, but this event is still significant because this website is my future and I’m forever grateful to all you readers out there for checking in regularly enough to make this business model—trading, writing, teaching all with brutal honesty—viable. Since this technology is all still pretty new, I really believe this is just the beginning.
So, thank you—truly—I think this is only gonna get better and while I still have yet to get to the $2 million mark—post-tax—at this site’s current pace, we should hit 2 million views inside of the next 100 days…sounds like a good excuse for a party, right?

    Tim, way to go on the million hits.

    BTW, I got your DVD & book the other day -- found the DVD very informative. The book is really interesting -- thought you made some really good points in the final chapter.

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)!
