tim sykes buffalo In The Stock Market, Trust No One And No Company Cuz They’re All Sh@#!

Last night, to a clearly shocked stock market club of about 75 people at the University of Buffalo, that was the main gist of my speech. Not just because I was burned pretty damn badly on one of these microcraps in which I naively believed or because of the media idiots who pretend to be researchers not even because of all the manipulation. No, it’s because out of all the thousands of Penny Stocks, I’ve ever trade/researched, only a handful have ever remained in double digits for more than a few days/weeks! The truth is that all these companies are pretty close to failing so they’re desperate for attention / capital. And it’s that desperation from which you can profit because it makes everything real simple-like.

As those who’ve witnessed firsthand, I love speaking to big groups of people who for the most part have little to no stock market experience (if you wanna book me as a speaker, it’s $1,000 and travel expenses—just not worth my time for anything less since it screws up my trading and blogging).

The only other industry speakers out there all come dressed up with serious marketing slickness: “gurus” trying to sell their strategies (while failing to disclose all personal trades /investments / track records), brokers pitching niche deals and structured products (how you likin’ those auction rate securities you scumbags!), financial planners stressing the importance of conservatism and diversification (great for annual fees, but if somebody has $2,000-$5,000 to their name, who gives a f$#@ about $200-$500/year—at best!) and talking heads who love making big bold predictions about the economy, future of technology, which companies will benefit. Basically all these guys pitch stuff where there’s little to no chance of their audience being able to learn/do the stuff on their own, thus ensuring future for the speaker’s services).

Yup, it’s a pretty screwed up industry. Sure, I sell autographed copies of my book An American Hedge Fund and instructional DVD PennyStocking, but the beauty is that if I do my job right, I’ll show how the game works and then, in time, you won’t need me anymore—because while I have the variables down pat—or mostly down—and despite my rather quick success, I’m not exactly great at this (as those who frequent this blog are beginning to understand)!

And of course, I make no BS predictions whatsoever—no price targets on the Dow, S&P, oil, elections…no idea where technology is going and which companies will benefit most, all I do is talk about what has and has not worked for me—passing this great game of PennyStocking down to a younger generation.

PS How Forrest Gump-ish is that picture?

Hopefully, I can work something out with you to visit the University of Florida to speak to the Student Investment Club I'm in. Maybe we could work something out for the fall 08 semester. I love your site...got to follow it more so I can make some money. :)

timinhumboldt

Hi, I'm a spammer and I've forced Tim to edit out my entirely useless comments, sorry for my existence!

ViciousChicken

Just dropped it in the forum, but anyone watching RGN?

Jay Zalowitz

I just want to point out, you are the younger generation of investing..... im just on the younger end.

Dan-O

I was thinking about going to Buffalo but it's a f'n hike and I like the odds of you doing a speaking engagement in NYC in the next few months.

Keith E

I am watching RGEN and am short from 5.75

sonid

Tim keep up the good work. Reading your posts from my cell phone on this long ass bus trip. Like the new charts attached to the stocks your watching.

monkiman

Hey tim, FEED went down greatly today after 4 day of gains... you think tomorrow will be another down day for FEED?? probably down to $15.50

Dan-O

Damn, why didn't I stay in FEED

Al

shorted KOG again @ 2.78

Andrew

now lets all prey isrg doesnt fuck up earnings like vivo did

Matt

The picture doesn't look Gumpish - it looks like you added a Clint Eastwood squint to the usual smirk. :)

Mark

anybody long enoc?

Dan-O

GOOG just left a big red hand print on alot of faces.

Samuel

FEED is good,
FEED is great
(FEED buyers are greed though),
FEED I thank you for this MONEY you made me today.
Chart says FEED will be down further tomorrow!
What do you say, Tim?

Andrew

Blast!

Tony Ellis

FEED displaying dark cloud cover but it closed above its previous 52 wk high of 16.36 so I'm avoiding this one. Tim's the expert though.

bee

sorry off topic .. i am newbie ... question : if someone bought 1.6m shares of ABK after hours .. does it mean anything ?? thanks

GOOG ROCKS

There was a dumbest guy by name GSC here followed and worshipped Goldman Sac's ANAL-yeast and he advocated to short WM on Tim's board. I am hoping he covered his ass today!!

timsykes

somebody just bought $10 million of FEED at $16 and u guys want to short it 50 cents higher!! c'mon, it might dip a bit, but this is not a pump and dump, its a classic example of where the news DOES matter, inspectd.com sux! avoid

KOG resumed its uptrend anf u want to short it, c'mon, have i not taught u better? u short in order to take advantage of natural sellers/consolidation, if that comes and goes and it heads higher, u stand aside and let it, avoid

gerlando

I'm so confused right now, wasn't the previous post focused on FEED being a pump and dump? Now you're saying it's not? The news on FEED was very vague, an undisclosed # of pig farms bought up at an undisclosed price. How is that real news? Regardless I'm staying away until it starts making sense to me!

Max

Tim's not telling you what to think

he's telling you some important stuff you might want think hard about

sonid

Tim would you say that KOG has a little room to run but has some solid resistance around the 3.50 mark?

Goose

KOG - where is it going ?

gerlando

Max, I'm just trying to get a sense of what HE'S thinking because his posts (unless I'm misinterpreting them) seem contradictory.

Ray

hey tim ..i was checking out DEEP when it popped my radar

go peel that onion if you wanna see some incredible scammage goin on..unreal

timsykes

no idea where KOG will go, i play predictable patterns, not random ones, today meas it random

guess i have to be ore careful with terms of phrasing, there are pump and dumps that have downside and some that dont. with this funding feed doesnt...at least not from my view. but as i did say "the stock's got a lot of proving to do".

now stop this nonsense and find me a stock up 200% in 2-3 days, then well talk

timsykes

and who cares about DEEP, its not even close to being a pattern i look for, its just a random crappy stock--no need to waste time researching

pete

ARE you guyz stoned in the pic? all you guyz look blazed on doobie snacks

Ray

So, Tim says:
1. After running up for several days, when a stock starts bleeding, you short, he also posts pump and dump article on FEED, and he says oh, don't short FEED!
2. Don't touch commodity, regardless of its supernova behavior such as KOG and he shorts.
What do you believe?
By the way, he said he is here to teach everybody, who can glue their eyes on his posts 24/7, otherwise it is buried in piles of thousand posts everyday. And the best of Tim is, he tells everybody to glue their eyes on level II so that they can trade when they get opportunity. Tim's model is not bad except we all have to quit our day job and glue our eyes on level II. Otherwise you may lose $0.25-0.50 here and there. Why not we all start daytrading with Tim.

Goose

Tim, are you monitoring any stocks right now? I have almost been gluing my eyes on this blog.

I have been sucked into some bad trades

timsykes

Ray--wrong on every account, quite impressive really--stop assuming too much and learn to read. maybe u should get my DVD--then u'd see there are diff. kinds of runups, some are more shortable than others. In the FEED article itself, I said the stock has to prove itself worthy to short because the financing was so high. As for commodity stocks, I say they have lower odds of success, as KOG proved quite nicely. And where the hell do you see thousands of posts or anywhere that I say u have to watch level 2 all day--besides not being able to read, I see you have quite the imagination (maybe u should be on CNBC!)...my best trades work over multiple days, not intraday

--don't rely on me, I'm just sharing what I know, learn from my successes and failures and do it yourself...

Goose, of course i'm monitoring, always monitoring, i'll post later, too many dammn idiots emailing me instead of posting on the forums

MaX PL

you should have went to a real university to give a speech... haha

I was there Wednesday.

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)!
