First, let’s get the fun / useless guessing game contest over with—with YHOO’s $24.37 closing price, there were 2 winners: Ann-Nan Lo $24.50 and DarkMatter $24.24—congrats guys! (UPDATE: Ann-Nan Lo has been disqualified cuz her winning guess was her second…wow, my readers are on top of things!)

Now to business, stocks with predictable charts—doubt any of these topics will get 200+ comments, but gimme a few years to set you straight. Tons of plays, gonna be handicapped yet again by the SEC pattern day trading rule—all that handicapping inspired me to write one hell of a post, which I gotta vet with a lawyer…

VNDA
Yes its bounced, but its a ton off its highs and it’s an earnings play, still watching it, doubt I’ll have the buying power to touch it, f$#@ you SEC!

LGDI
My top play for today, made $350 ayer, look to make more if and when it cracks $4.40 to the downside, could / should move fast when it cracks as that’ll put it slightly down on the day, potential to go all the way down to $4, then it’s a game of whether or not stop losses can get taken out, $4.05-$4.10 if it holds, $3.60-$3.70 if it doesn’t…and this is all of course after the probable / hopeful morning short squeeze, which could / should retest highs, pleaseeeeeeee…game of chess baby, I don’t know how to play, only game I know is PennyStocking where you gotta think a few moves ahead!

SUNV
Kills me I didn’t short into yesterday’s spike, read my twitter message about it (Follow me on there to get quick messages like that), I was all set! That calls for my second f$#@ you to the SEC in as any minutes.

FEED
Lesson in why you don’t scalp these range bound suckers, use my friggin experience to your advantage you dumb Jews!

LLNW
Lionmaster pick, respek!

CHCG
Fous pick, check it!

PKT
You call that a runup, c’mon gimme some more, yo spliff where the weed at?

MVL
Sometimes the obvious stuff works, congrats longs, anybody seen the movie, c’mon gimme some reviews

IDMI
I will not short random Penny Stocks, I will not short random Penny Stocks, I will not short random Penny Stocks, I will not short random Penny Stocks, I will not short random Penny Stocks

MNKD
Everybody’s talkin’ all this stuff about this stock, why can’t they just focus on volatile stocks, tell me whyyy

GETC
Now that’s a stock worthy of me showing off its chart, still not up enough to short, shoulda coulda woulda had the balls to buy in

getc 15 Low Priced Stocks: Buy & Short Sell Some, Avoid Most, Despise Them All!

SKNY
Big big big reversal day, of what 7 cents? This is why you don’t short stocks low, too bad the price wasn’t multipled by 10, cuz then it coulda woulda shoulda actually gone down 50 cents tomorrow instead of the probable 5.

UTVG
Another worthy chart…getting close to resistance at $3

utvg 15 Low Priced Stocks: Buy & Short Sell Some, Avoid Most, Despise Them All!

VRML
I saved my #2 pick for today near the bottom so those lazy mofos won’t see it and reserve shares to short…it’s not special, I don’t even need to refer to this company directly, I can just summarize by posting three tickers: REED, PSTI and VION…comprendo?

GTXO
Another up and comer to keep an eye on

on MVL - The movie was awesome as I predicted it would be. Robert Downey is the perfect Tony Stark and with solid acting from the rest of the cast, Jon Favreau at the helm, and amazing visual effects...this is a hit. $100+ million at the box office. I bought MVL at $29 last Tuesday. Volume still looks good and Hulk comes out later so this should be a winner this summer. read the post on my blog about it.

timothysykes

Got 2k VRML and 2k LGDI borrowed and reserved, wish I could borrow more, but I've got no more buying power :(

Davey

Got 1K LGDI and 1K VRML locked up as well, same here with not enough BP to borrow as much as I want. Looks like VRML is gonna gap up.

Roderic

No more shares available now at think or swim

timothysykes

damn LGDI cant even gap up, c'mon pumpers, where's your spirit fingers!

Davey

Damn LGDI tanking quick

timothysykes

cancelled my VRML order, not enough buying power to worry about it executing

LGDI, quick 20 cent tank, but i wouldnt be surprised to see one big spike worth shorting into

bullpicks6

I've played CHCG many times...looks like a buy if it breaks $2, but I don't really think it will, rumors are they are going to be reporting bad earnings yet again...

bullpicks6

RUNU, bollinger bands indicate a break to me, guessing .15 cent scalper

Davey

Tim, I can not wait until 25-30K when we have the balls to hold these and follow the damn pattern that seems to do the same everytime. LGDI the latest stock to continue the fall the day after.

bullpicks6

LGDI timmmber, stop losses will have to fill here...

bullpicks6

ELDO short lived CNBC pump

investorslive

GTXO another of the under the radars.... MXFD making highs and BANI trying to be like them but no volume

bullpicks6

CPHI only long play i'm in today

GoodeValue.com

Investorslive - I assume you meant KYUS and not MXFD making highs? MXFD has been fading for a few days, plus it is irrelevant for everyone here--impossible to get shares to short.

timothysykes

its not about balls, its about capital

manhack

LGDI: You think this might have another leg up after this?

timothysykes

manhack read comment #7, there are reasons why i prefer shorting in the afternoon, this is a good example

investorslive

Yes I meant KYUS sorry about that hahaa MXFD yes finally fading

Davey

VRML still spiking

Davey

VRML RTQ 3.65, this might be a better play going into the afternoon than LGDI if LGDI keeps falling.

timothysykes

VRML sooo thinly traded, let it run, I still have y shares borrowed for the day, just in no rush to use em

Davey

LOL VRML 4.70

ivegotstylekid

RT dropped off they're pre-market gain, along with VM. Covered both on my survivor acct today. 1.04/share with VM at 5000 shares, and .63/share with RT at 1000 shares. LGDI is jumping again 4.25 right now

timothysykes

all about learning from your mistakes--when I stupid lost 4300 on that mxc traded i never wanted to do, i know to put my limits as high as possible--since my buying power prevented me from doing that on VRML, i just cancelled entirely, i can cal up my chat window and get them back anytime...great example

Bob the VC

I've got 500 VRML reserved. Almost got my limit picked up on a spike! Damn I'm an amature.. I've moved the order a bit further out of range for now..

Tim- a quick request; When listing the stocks, can you go back to listing them as .OB or .PK as you did yesterday, so those of us with accounts that don't allow shorting of those to know if we should even bother to look into them? That was very helpful.

Ryan

Reserved 1300 shares of VRML to short at $5.01, if it hits there today.

Michael

Anyone short VNDA yet? looks ready to crash

Ryan

Just found out Ameritrade has as many shares of VRML to short even under $5, so everybody who has Ameritrade account can swarm there to short VRML.

Davey

LGDI coming back a bit at 4.30 now

Ryan

Michael,
VNDA is not crashing yet. Even though there are plenty of sellers around $6 but there are lots of buyers around $5.50-$5.80 area on level II. I am also watching this one. Shoulda, woulda, coulda bought at open ($5.50) and dumped at $6 or above but just didn't have balls:(

Bob the VC

VRML- WTF? How do you even work with something that moves like this?

Michael

Well Ryan I think by end of day VNDA will start its fade and tomorrow will be at $5.40 range

simonyadig

Just finished watching weekend warriors. Tim, be nicer to your mom!!!!!! After she's driven 1.5 hours to do your chores and to see you, at least give her your undivided attention for 10 seconds to say good bye.

simonyadig

Um, I meant Wallstreet Warriors. duh

Bob the VC

debating on if I want to move my VRML to 4.25 and wait it out. I have a feeling when this thing drops it's going to drop fast..

timothysykes

i'm extremely nice to y mo, but dont bother me when i'm trading...that goes for your pesky IMers who keep IMing me even after I say "shhhh, trading". this game requires focus

ivegotstylekid

bob your buying VRML not shorting?

Bob the VC

damn you're a little bitch! hahah

Bob the VC

No, shorting, I just don't want to enter to low, and I think we may see one more spike that could potentially pick up a $4.25 short limit.. Had I had ANY idea this thing would have gone this ballistic this AM, I would have loved to ridden it up and down!!

ivegotstylekid

wait nm spike almost triggered your limit.

simonyadig

Just busting your chops buddy.

Can someone spare a Timbuck?

ivegotstylekid

yea that ride up would have been nice, and to catch it again on the way down would be just as nice. Good Luck man

Bob the VC

Anyone short VRML yet, or are well all stalking our prey?

kish

put an order(sell short) on VRML @4.24

JensGould

lgdi has a 100k share buy sitting at 4. i highly doubt it stays when the price actually gets there. i'm getting antsy. break 4 you little bitch!

Bob the VC

So I didn't move my limit to 4.25, but had I, I would be tea-bagging it right now!

simonyadig

Not to toot my own horn (which I am), but I called LGDI as a breakout play at 1.94.

http://www.hotstockmarket.com/forums/showthread...

My broker doesn't have any shares available to short. Oh well.

Bob the VC

4.40!! WTF!!@!! Dummies and their Market orders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kish

VRML just touched 4.40$

Ann-Nan Lo

awww, common tim! you never stated that we can't twice~~~ at least a book without your autograph~~ plez~~ and I am your #1 fan

Ann-Nan Lo

J-Mo

kish

TIA

Bob the VC

Still got 500 at TDA..

Bob the VC

Make that still got my 500 reserved at TDA. I'll let you guys know if I abandon them..

KS

AAPL

Vodafone inks deal with Apple to sell iPhone in ten countries

Vodafone, the world's largest mobile phone company in dollar sales, announced Tuesday that it has reached an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone in ten of its markets beginning sometime this year.

Certainly not a penny stock, but this is a great stock to own

cacaosteve

TOS is out of LGDI. When to short VRML? It is 4.18x4.39.

timothysykes

I don't know why you're all getting so excited about shorting VRML, this thing could spike to $6 or $7 or even $10, squeezing early shorts like u for the fun of it--remember, don't short until u see the white of their eyes, otherwise you're just shorting into random strong penny stocks, i write to protect u...memorize these 2 articles damnit!

Bob the VC

I own 100 AAPL at a dca of $138... Should have been $119, but I showed a total lack of discipline and tried to scalp.. AAPL will be back at $200 or higher by year end..

Davey

Guys relax...STOP WANTING TO TRADE EVERY SECOND!...Wait for the plays to come to you

timothysykes

davey its no use, they dont have the DVD, they can't understand--people think i overpromote it, they dont realize i cant explain everything in blog posts all the rules are in the friggin DVD

Michael

Short VRML at $4.25

sniper6

I have never executed a short sell but I'm sick of losing $ all the time. I seem to be pretty good at picking losers so I want to try shorting. I just set up a margin account and am eyeballing both COMS and CPST. Do any experienced short sellers think these are solid choices?

Jeff C

Hope someone made $ on GETC...nice pick Tim

will_the_thrill

Timbo, should got that GETC, look at her now.

timothysykes

damnit my VRML short executed 1,500 shares at $3.99, chatting with thinkorswim now, that should've been cancelled!

Davey

WTF...I thought you cancelled that order a long time ago.

monkiman

FEED is a fighter, goes down, but alwayz bouncing back up.

Davey

LOL all of you that shorted VRML at 4.25 should have waited even if it comes back down there was no reason to get in at that point

Tony Ellis

ASIA...finally breaking out?

Davey

Tim, please tell me they fixed that mistake and you not looking at a 1K loss.

will_the_thrill

CPST not a good short, not volitale, she's been creeping up for a long time now.

timothysykes

what a f$#@en disaster, here i amm thinking i have no share and i'm short, pathetic, must've gotten confused with too many cancelled orders, $1k loss it is...so far

Bob the VC

Never got in to VRML at 4.25, just said I was thinking about it.. Luckily that Chicken part of my kicked in. I'm almost afraid of this thing with my limit set at $6.. I think if I blink it may trigger..

That sucks on the false execution Tim, hopefully they fix that for you..

Tony Ellis

Out AISA 13.70 nice $1200 in three minutes

noobtrader.08

What is OTCBB???

monkiman

VRML up $1.75...... still waiting for LGDI to spike

Goose

Good for you Tony ellis.

Bob the VC

Tim- what are you going to do? Wait it out? You know this $hit bag is going to drop eventually??

PS- Way to go Tony!!!!

Short

Entering VM, shorted @ 3.34. Check out VM.

monkiman

1k loss... well, you will make it bakk.. LGDI slowly crawling bakkk up

Davey

Short 1K VRML here, looks Toppy...Try and give Timmy some relief support

A

So Tim, b/c of that mistake you dropped down to $17,624?

simonyadig

OTCBB = over the counter bulletin board

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/otcbb.asp

Bob the VC

VM at 3.34? Considering it only dropped about 50 cents after yesterday's earnings, I'm not sure I'd expect much from it. Maybe 10-20 cents on a afternoon fade?

Bob the VC

I can't believe this $hitbag VRML may hit $5..

Shthappns

Noob - OTCBB is the Over The Counter Bulletin Board. Its basically an exchange for stocks that do not qualify for Nasdaq

Bob the VC

Correction- hit $5..

Damn, I'm earning my Timbucks today..

Bob the VC

I seriously hope VRML finds unbreakable resistance at $5 and fades into oblivion..

Bob the VC

To try to make light of Tim's dilemma, I'm coining a new term.. Tim just "kicked the fan" on this on.. All you WSW watchers know what I'm talking about...

Webster

I had TDA, cannot get any VRML to short right now at 5. Says not able to short.

Short

I'm not shorting VM for intraday play. I'm looking at a slightly longer term of 2 - 5 days. This is truly POS stock. I see some resistance at 3.38. If it breaks down at this level, then it will surely tank.

Bob the VC

Be carefull what you say Short, Richard Branson may fly his space ship to you house and beat you down!! LOL

timothysykes

Thinkorswim can't do anything about my screw up so I added 1,000 short at $4.90, now short 2,500 average $4.34, by far one of the stupid mistakes of my career, if not $-wise...gonna be interesting

ore interesting/safe is ASIA breaking out, not that I have any buying power whatsoever

ivegotstylekid

wow timmy sorry to hear about that, hope that fucker drops real quick, vrml is starting to fade down .20 of its high

timothysykes

we all make mistakes, just a part of the game

ivegotstylekid

man this fucker is starting to look like a quick buy and out

J-Mo

Tim, I know PAL is a commodities play and you steer away from those, but for 2 days now it's been trading sideways. Where do you see it going from a trend point of view?

will_the_thrill

tim, did u sign up for the million dollar portfolio on ur fav cnbc?

Like abk for entry point, still think will hit 6 by Friday.

ivegotstylekid

will im on that boat as well im looking for a good price though, I don't know about 6 by friday but it's looking for a solid gain within the next few weeks

Roderic

Does TOS still have VRML shares?

Davey

And LGDI is spike now back above 4.40

kish

http://video.nbc4.com/player/?id=247603

timothysykes

somebody pumping VRML pretending to be me!

http://www.timothysykes.com/2008/05/06/stock-pu...

Bob the VC

Can you fucking believe this!!! I went to replace my limit on VRML from 6 down to 5, and TDA cancelled instead of replaced!!!!!! I'm on the phone w/my account rep right now- and he has no explanation!!!!! What a bunch of BS!!!!!!!!!!

Michael

Anyone looking to maybe short SUNV here? Volume down and trading okay

Dan_O

That f'n sucks

timothysykes

WHEWWWWWWW OUT AT 4.45 AND 4.35, $200 LOSS OR SO WHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Goose

fuck man...No shares available for VRML..so bs

J-Mo

VRML is tanking hard. The OBV just went negative.

neal

VRML is sinking quick... looks like you may come out of this A - OK

BDOG

Tim I hope you covered at 4.35 on vrml nice bailout> did you?

timothysykes

covered at 4.40 average, lost of $180, was down $1750, stupid stupid stupid trade, great opportunity for pennystockers to short anywhere from 4.75-5 and cover anywhere from 4 to 4.40

lmsmith

I missed a lot of action it seemed..

Mark

Tim, How far down in VRML gonna go? I shorted at $4.64. I think I'm getting greedy.

timothysykes

awesome mark! who knows how low it goes, if u can get out in the 3.90 range thats a solid days work...love that u guys are doing better than me--where r u all located, i seriously want u on video!

Mark

I'm located in a green leather recliner in Shreveport, Louisiana right now. I'll email you a little later.

ivegotstylekid

wow hell of a turn around tim, holding lgdi in my survivor acct, got in a little early. but as the volume fades so should the pricce

Davey

West Hartford, CT...Timmy next time I'm in NYC we'll make movie magic

sonid

MARK - well done man, I been trying to use tim's methods for a few months now but unfortunately I haven't had the best luck. I was wondering if you wanted to team up and be trading buddies it should be much easier to get things right, obviously we would make our own final decisions but might be worth it, whatdaya say?

Cssnice

nice post Thanks !!
www.cssnice.com

Will

Wow should have shorted GETC

UTVG shorted 2.60 2500 shares

Alex

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)!
