Guess Yahoo’s Monday Closing Price, Win A Free Autographed Book!

bookcover Guess Yahoos Monday Closing Price, Win A Free Autographed Book!

Since this YHOO/MSFT thing is such an absolute joke, little different from the Ashley Dupre affair and thanks to some solid brainstorming with my friends at TheLion.com, I was inspired to make it into a somewhat useful waste of time by doing a similarly themed giveaway: one free autographed copy of my book, An American Hedge Fund, to whoever guessed YHOO’s opening price Monday morning.

But since great minds think alike, and the greater the mind, the quicker it thinks, Lindzon beat me to it, offering up some cool free yoga gear.

The blogosphere ain’t about copying so to be unique / make it infinitely more difficult / random / annoying, to win an autographed copy of my book, leave a comment on this post guessing YHOO’s CLOSING price on Monday!

    all you punk-ass, high-profile, low-life c&cksU$#kers that leave meaningless non-sense on these forums; putting down Tim because your jealous that he's found something great and is making a difference many people lives...

    DO US ALL A FAVOR... if you don't have something meaningful to post, which all the readers of the website can benefit from, take your comments and shove them up your ass!!! And stop wasting MY time with your arrogant, insecure, out-of-shape BS!!!

    Piss on you haters!

    PS - Sorry Tim. Delete if I've over stepped any boundaries.

    '... false hope...' means Yang pumpin' 'is own $$$$$ into YHOO to keep the $/shr up in the 18-20 range. After all, he don't wanna alienate 'is employees, do he now? If he's smart, he'll have a pump'm trick up 'is sleeve. Otherwise, he'll be hearin' the song: Another one bites the dust...

    OK put a little more thought into this. In Jan it hit its low after announcing earnings (18.58), however, people will look at a google partnership or another offer from msft later on so I figure a 4.50 loss from friday which would make it $24.17. It will go down farther later in the week when the shareholder law suits start piling up.
  • will_the_thrill
    Just read other posts, already 2 - $24.17, I'll take $24.12.

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)!
