Hard To Borrow Stocks: Short Sell What You Can, Only When Key Prices Are Breached

All of a sudden there’s a ton of crap stocks looking perfect for PennyStocking: (AGEN), (COT), (PSTI), (GBRC.PK), (CNOA.OB) and (NCEN.OB). Why then did I choose only to short PSTI…because it was the only one with borrowable shares!

As I posted towards the end of THIS post, PSTI’s pattern is the EXACT chart pattern that made me a millionaire by age 22 and it’s why TIM is up now 46% since November 2007. Can’t short more than 10,000-30,000 shares (this time around at least, liquidity willing you can sometimes get up to 100,000 shares), but ideal for smaller traders/investors in the $2k-$100k account size.

Why Bess Levin Is The Only Financial Commentator You Should Ever Listen To

Big Picture Barry Ritholtz likes getting quoted in the press…trust me, I know the feeling, I also went through that phase…but what good does it do? Everything the senile-old-man-esque financial press covers has soooo many variables, sooooo many moving parts, sooooooo many time lags involved and most importantly, can be framed any number of ways. It’s all just one big guessing game where you HAVE NO EDGE WHATSOEVER, so luck and leverage aside, you can NEVER increase your wealth substantially.

You know my take, small investors and traders need to stop worrying about the news/macro/popular issues and learn to profit from more niche-oriented/inefficient hence predictable stuff like PennyStocking! That’s where the big % returns lie–no leverage needed–and if you really want financial gossip, don’t turn to CNBC, just visit Dealbreaker for some Bess Levin commentary…at least she’s funny.

The Most Thorough And Glowing Review Of PennyStocking Yet

I know many of you wish I wouldn’t promote my book An American Hedge Fund and my 6-hour instructional trading DVD PennyStocking so hard, but then again, you’ve no idea the number of dumb/similar questions I get on a daily basis—which actually inspired me to get into this biz–so getting people to buy these products not only helps pay my bills (I have no problem admitting that because I believe it’s exceptional value in that it pays for itself in 1-2 successful trades), but it also makes my job explaining everything exponentially easier. So, my apologies to those smart enough not to need any background info./training, this post goes out to the many of those who do.

Over the past few weeks, my instructional trading DVD PennyStocking Package—which comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee (minus a small restocking fee cuz restocking is a bitch) and includes a 220-page instruction manual and autographed copy of my book An American Hedge Fund—has gotten some damn good reviews which you can see HERE, but those are all just 1-3 sentences. The winner of the Ashley Dupre sponsored giveaway contest, Trainee Trader, has posted the most thorough review of this DVD package HERE

Hey SEC, Punish Stock Manipulators Like CNBC Not Small-Time Traders

There’ll come a time when the SEC will do away with absurdities like the pattern day trader rule in favor of holding accountable entertainment-masquerading-as-reality outfits (WWE, CNBC, WSJ etc.) and their pseudo-champions (The Rock, Cramer, Journalists, etc.) for the damage their charade causes…but it is not this day.

For now, you must learn to profit from the circus that is the financial media industry…case in point, the CNBC-caused morning spike in (AGEN). After a brief TV mention and naively optimistic online article, thousands of CNBC-faithful bought in, thinking the cancer news (on which the stock was only up 20% on the day beforehand, aka not big news) was big-time.

6 Stocks In Play: Why Using Varying Time Frames Is So Crucial

Here are 6 stocks I’m watching—notice the charts use varying time frames…in order to put recent price action into perspective and to better understand how/if history will repeat and get the appropriate resistance/support levels, you gotta see how the stock fared the last time it surged so quickly/neared such prices…judging by the looks of these setups, probly won’t be any ideal trades today…what’s a stalker to do?

PSTI, ahhh, no shares available to short at Thinkorswim

Everyone’s getting all riled up to short QTWW, but as you see on this chart, it can go a lot further…got 3k shares borrowed just in case

How To Predict 10% Daily Price Moves With Relative Ease: PennyStocking!

Some will argue that my top 3 weekend stocks to watch moving 10%+ in the direction I thought they would proves nothing. After all, maybe my blog is simply popular enough to help these patterns become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But when you throw in a decade of me making millions of dollars off these EXACT kinds of chart patterns, it’s hard not to believe that they are PREDICTABLE! Because they are shining examples of the plays on which my instructional DVD PennyStocking focuses. So just get it so I don’t have to explain/mention as often! That might’ve been rude…whatever, be cheap, sign up to my RSS feed and try to piece everything together.

Enough blabbing, let’s talk shop:

Top Weekend Pick: Short (SYNM)—I’d hope to short into another full day of gains, but the weak open (double top at $1.25ish) coupled with sad volume meant it was gonna tank, either hard or soft, no way of knowing…so when it went negative on the day, taking out big block buys at $1.21 and $1.20 and within seconds it dropped to $1.15, I thought’d I missed it…luckily the optimists bounced it back to $1.20 and I shorted 3,000 shares there around 10am…barely getting all my shares before it fell back to $1.16 x $1.17

Then the real question: could it take out now 2-day support at $1.15…didn’t look good for an hour or so…lots of big buys…but there wasn’t any bouncing higher so I held—not content to make 3-4 cents/share. Right before 11am, $1.15 fell hard, stop losses took out $1.12, then $1.10, then $1.07!!!! Gotta love buying into those automated sell orders, it’s like surfing a wave, covered at $1.07, $370 gain, 11% on my money inside an hour…rest of the day irrelevant, not up enough—nor could I risk my precious day trades—to bet for a fall under $1 although odds are slightly for it. Next!

LongorShort Capital Earns Nickname: Pretentious Prick Capital, aka Matt Damon In School Ties

I try to give the LongorShort Capital (LOSC), aka Pretentious Prick Capital (PP Capital) some exposure (seemingly much needed) and instead the dude rips on me?!?! Doesn’t understand why I’m still relevant (uhhh maybe cuz I detail all my mistakes—something nobody else in finance does and I’m willing to answer any AND all questions just as I post 40%+ returns in 5 months?!?!)

What a pompous ass…so typical…(unsurprisingly, this rich daddy’s boy also guest writes for that other pretentious finance rag Traitor Monthly) Welcome to why I want nothing to do with the joke that is the financial community…this guy is an embarrassment to both finance and blogging—basically whatever he touches he dishonors—no doubt he went to an Ivy League School as they’re breeding grounds for these kinds of pretentious pricks…like Matt Damon’s character in School Ties
