LGDI
Still on watch for a break under $4, gonna be tough to do from here, today at least, actually consolidated well until the last 5 minutes…still wouldn’t be surprised to see a big 50 cent-$1 upwards spike or at least that’s what I be praying for, oh yah man!

VRML
Mistake of the millennium yesterday, still gonna be volatile

ASIA
Now that’s a breakout…PennyStocking DVD student and upcoming grandmaster Tony Ellis kindly alerted everyone to this and then proceeded to make a quick $1,200 in 3 minutes…That’s right, the DVD preaches that you should these pieces of junk on breakouts, too—just as I did with COIN back a few months ago during a live radio interview

CSIQ
Trying to do the same kind of breakout—doesn’t interest me in the least, would require waaaaay too much precious buying power

SUNV
Finally a stock that doesn’t require much buying power—but it does waste a precious trade, a double jewww yahhhh f$%# you to my friends over at the SEC for that one! Volume’s fading though…gotta crack $1.25 to have any chance

UTVG
Nice Gradual reversal yesterday, I was definitely interested, but nowhere near close to having enough buying power

NCEN
Tryin to breakout of multi-day base…gotta get volume up more

GTE, NGAS and BEXP
Oil plays breaking out, tooooo slow for me

GETC
Damn! When I posted this one yesterday morning, I had little idea, I’d be calling the top, but that is why I have the dark gifttttt

PDO
Right back near its highs again, getting asked about it a lot, here’s what I think: I have no idea! Too much consolidation and too many shorts in it to be a quick reversal, probly a 60% chance of a breakout above $9…odds not high enough for me to get all excited about, but I’m watching

IAR and RHD
Earnings breakout, ignore

CNOA
CEO bys stock, think it’s undervalued, coulda woulda shoulda spent the money on promoters instead of some pissing-into-the-ocean-of-sellers-type act…if I was a shareholder, I’d sue

CNEH
Breaking out of multi-month base—gotta take out $4.50 for true breakout, last time it went from 50 cents to $4.50, so now $4.50 to……that is the question, might try to buy some if I have the buying power and none of the shorts look ideal.

XCO
Great technical breakout above $24, solid intraday risers, too, too bad I have no buying power to waste on such small % moves

SNG
Only the first day runup, poor history of big reversals, usually too gradual and as you saw
on my trades yesterday I use all my capital

SIX and NLS
Wake me when they get volatile—I mean VRML and LGDI volatile cuz that’s what I play! Stop trying to scalp and squeeze in 10-20 cent gains, your risk-reward sucks

tooo many t's Tim, time to take a ten to twenty minute time out and think the trade through.

Millionairemind

Fabulous website, A+++ from my side. I preferred Tim's statement in blue highlight like in previous website because that was easier for eyes than this yellowish highlight. Tim, how can I add my picture on this little picture icon?

BTW, Tim, too many stocks to watch today...trying to beat Jim Cramer :-)?

This one for Ben_Bien: Did you get out of that ABK yet? It was over $5 something the other day?

Ben_Bien

MillionaireMind:

I had ABK at $4.75, then lowered my price-average down to $4.55 but being a scared little girl I sold early at $4.43 and $4.60 and broke even. If I had left my limit order at $4.95 alone, it would've been a clean +$700 return over a few days. Another mistake to learn from.

P.S. I'm waiting for ThinkOrSwim to approve my new account application, so once that goes through I'm adapting Tim's method of shorting. I am also adamant about buying his DVD as soon as I make some gains on a few more plays in my TD Ameritrade account.

Davey

Just thought I'd throw out what I have reserved this morning, 4000 SUNV, 3000 UTVG, and 1500 LGDI, I don't have enough BP to try and get VRML as well, don't think it spikes hard again but I'll be watching.

monkiman

wow, I haven't traded yet but Im up about $40... thank u TOS... this could be another $1,000 day for me

timothysykes

i got 1300 VRML, 1500 LGDI and 1500 SUNV all reserved to possibly short today, leaving me with exactly $49 in buying power...LOL...these orders aint gonna execute today unless i want them to!

GoodeValue.com

Cool, I got my new gravatar!

Adam

So i call zecco to reserve shares and it went to a voicemail... pretty sure that may be the end of that over there

BDOG

VRML get ready boys and girls its doin its thing

jj

ttttttttttttttt trading time tttttimay!

Adam

Finally got through to someone at Zecco and they dont let people reserve shares. 10 free trades a month is great if you can actually trade something!

thebarcast

Tim - This new site is sick. This is probably a dumb question, but I just switched from Scottrade to TOS. How do you "reserve shares" which you often talk about.

wes

you have to call to reserve shorts at TOS? cant do it in their platforM?

RGIlles

No you don't have to call. Pull up the support/chat window in the TOS platform

frank

hi,

how exactly do you "reserve" shorts? do you reserve them and then execute at whatever price you deem worthwhile? i don't understand how you can reserve them. everytime i try to short something, there are no stocks available (i use zecco).

thanks

GoodeValue.com

You reserve by pulling up the chat window, asking to borrow, and then asking them to set the sale price higher than the market. If the stock is easy to borrow just short sell above the market. Make sure it is high enough that it doesn't get executed in a spike (aka, don't be like Tim).

Adam

Frank- thats the problem I ran into there as well so i called to reserve share. They informed me that they do not reserve shares to short for anyone.

frank

just answered above. sorry.

manhack

CPSL looks like it's breaking out

RGIlles

Frank and Adam consider switching to Think or swim

Davey

SUNV dipping below 1.25

short shot

UTVG is a gonner

Adam

opening a TOS acc right now lol, at least all my long positions at zecco worked out ;)

jj

frank - also in the TOS desktop trading platform in the trade tab when you type in a stocks ticker sysmbol, on the right hand side you have an option for it to tell you if it's hard to borrow or easy to borrow. that way you'll know if andvance. i'm not sure if it's the same way on the TOS web based platform but i think they are similar.

thebarcast

Think or Swim is leaps and bounds better than the other platforms I've used (scottrade, etrade, zecco). Just takes a little getting used to as there are tons of options/settings/functions. Thanks for helping me out GoodeValue.

timothysykes

UTVG yes probly, but to where? soooo little downside

Adam please use y nae as the referrer, pay for my sushi dinner tonight!

short shot

UTVG timberrrrrrrrrrr

short shot

UTVG 2.40 big break dieeee....looking for under $2 ez

dlee

short cpsl? hyped by motley fool, up over 10%

cacaosteve

some quick coding to extract my avatar from iChat, but I think I got it.

ready with shares of SUNV and LGDI, no VRML available. TOS tells me I can change the number of shares later, as I would expect. I asked them if I lose the shares if I go from say 1500 to 1000, and he confirmed that was correct.

Dan_O

I'm starting to understand the multiple screen obsession.

Has anyone else out there developed carpal tunnel clicking between multiple level II screens, charts, blogs, research, etc.

Brewster

Look at the movement with IAR -- pretty predictable -- easy money

jj

TOS has level II quotes and you can have multiple chart going on the same screen. the barcast was right, TOS is the best trading platform I've ever used!

Brewster

Their level II quotes is a joke -- nothing compared to other platforms

Millionairemind

MCCC, is it trying to breakout multimonth high or another opportunity to make quick $0.50-$1.00 profit shorting a little higher?

jj

like what other platforms do you think are better? and are you talking about the TOS desktop trading platform or their web platform?

Brewster

Unless you know something I don't know...talking about TOS desktop platform

Stoquer1

I am watching CHCG for possible breakout for 25%+. Maybe this week or next

short shot

VNDA 5.45 short

jj

so again, which ones do you think are better for level two quotes? and why is one better than the other?

Millionairemind

IAR on the move again, does it have steam left or it is going to go much higher from here?

timothysykes

shorted 1300 VRML at 3.75, a little too early, definitely...but short sellers are gonna be ore aggressive today cuz they know what kind of downside there is

Davey

LGDI spiking RTQ 4.52

GoodeValue.com

I still prefer Interactive Brokers' interface to TOS. BTW, trading is so much better with multiple screens. I'm loving my new pair of LG 19" LCD (non-widescreen) monitors.

Ben_Bien

Anyone getting SQUEEEZEEED by VRML right now? Hey, someone look at IAR it's spiking right now

wes

whats the strategy on UTVG? Seems like it has fallen alot today early on, should we wait for it to rebound mid-day and short then going into the afternoon fade off?

Brewster

IAR! look at its run in the last 20 minutes....eeeeasy $$

Davey

Looks like you're on your own with VRML today, there are no shares at TOS, I thought you got thema all because of your odd 1300 shares.

timothysykes

iar big whoops, up 20 cents over previous high, if u bought on the dip then its 40 cents but then u ere risking a double top. no thanks

Brewster

buy hard, then sell off every .20 or so, what a chart

Brewster

got it at 4.61, hitting 70% my personal daily quota by 10AM aint bad

will_the_thrill

Is anyone watching the supernova at AOB? Looks like it's comming down now.

Davey

With VRML not an option, I'm looking for an entry to take advantage of this spike in LGDI...Don't like ow SUNV is trading so I probably won't touch that.

novalis78

IAR dropping

timothysykes

LGDI has become boring, very scary for shorts

VRML looking very nice, wall of sellers at $4, fading volume, still up a ton, i want 50 cents to the downside

Stoquer1

Shorted Iar @ 5.21 Well see

Davey

Short LGDI right here 1500 shares @ 4.39ish

YngvaiMalmsteve

Stoquer, I'm long on CHCG right now.

Will, AOB isn't a supernova...it's an earnings move

Have to sit out any plays today...I'm long on too many positions and don't have any buying power today :(

Bob the VC

GPCB? So little volume, but huge spike..

Dan_O

Davey, if it doesn't crack will you hold into the close?

Davey

No, if it holds up I'll get out, it's not an ideal play so I'm not going to stay in if it holds up well.

Will

VRML volatile as Hell right now.

Davey

What a terrible spread on VRML

timothysykes

davey why short LGDI? u risk a big spike and theres very little downside until it goes negative on the day or cracks $4

bullpicks6

CPHI clearly out of momo, time to short...

Davey

Def. not an ideal play, I won't risk much, but I liked the crack of 4.40. Which is what we were looking at yesterday, but like I said not ideal, and I won't risk much.

YngvaiMalmsteve

Bulls, why short CPHI? It's an earnings move, and has more room for upside

short shot

VNDA fade away......

Davey

RTQ 4.28 LGDI coming down

Will

LGDI now below opening

novalis78

Stoquer good timing on IAR. I shorted too early...

Davey

I hate these BB stocks, it takes too long to get out, I couldn't even cover at 4.24

Stoquer1

Thanks, just couldt get enough to be a great trade Oh well!

RGIlles

tim you think still good to enter VRML here?

novalis78

just hope the heavy volume does not come back at around 2-3pm. They may just try to push it again...but it's coming down to 4.90-4.80 def.

Adam

Tim- i sent TOS an email for you, enjoy your sushi dinner!

timothysykes

new post is up:

http://www.timothysykes.com/2008/05/07/hey-rand...

monkiman

CSK going down very nicely...

timothysykes

nice fade on LGDI, can it break $4, that is the question

jim

GET THE FUCK OFF OF ELITE TRADER TIM NO ONE WHO ACTUALLY TRADES WANTS TO SEE YOUR BULLSHIT SCAM

Davey

Out 1500 LGDI @ 4.20 from 4.39 nice 300ish profit

timothysykes

yah vRML should still be good, i'm looking for a negative close either today or tomorrow, gotta love how the buying completely ceased, no0w its just gotta take out those big order (possibly fake) at 3.60 and 3.55

Jim, what r u talking about, i dont post on elitetrader, just a waste of my precious time...as for scam, u prove yourself to be incapable of research, i detail all my trades openly, and my readers make more $ than me! can't wait to see how you're gonna react when i bring this mainstream over the next few years, have fun pulling your hair plugs out

nice davey!

bullpicks6

YngvaiMalmsteve very true, there's still breathing room before resistance, but at the same time the volume, and upward momentum is dead....it's a short matter of time before the buyers at 2.20 become impatient...also i'm not saying bet the house, but it will be a profitable short if done right

bullpicks6

yo tim what's it take to get some timbucks too?

monkiman

nice 8 centz on UFPT... seller block losing steam...

novalis78

IAR tanking...

Stoquer1

Navalis78 hope you held on to your shorts maybe even added. Good luck

Stoquer1

Good support here at 4.85-89 if we break it 4.65 easy then low of day 4.42

novalis78

hey stoquer...yes i did add :-) double top... hope we get down to 4.50-40...maybe tomorrow after open.

PETEKUSH

bdco settin up for a suhper nova....timmmah?

Alex

Hey Tim, what does it take to get TIMbucks? (for whatever it's worth). My posting about FRPT Sun night as a good breakout not good enough? Bought it Monday at $3.75, currently $4.25. Looks like all the shares in the $2.75 to $3.75 were bought and so it's holding the breakout nicely so far. Next resistance is $5.

Alex

QID breaking out for those who want an ETF that shorts the market. Market overextended IMO, needs a correction. Recession not over yet!

sonid

GTE looks like a nice breakout but wouldn't want to touch it since cramer said buy it

PETEKUSH

expect another down day tomorrow

timothysykes

yah gte is a solid breakout now, but i suck at buying those things so i stay away

ivegotstylekid

wow very impressive chart. trending up just about the entire way. Sonid, I know when cramer recomends a stock it jumps nicely, but with the chart history you still wouldn't consider the breakout?

jim

Tim why is it that brand new aliases appear all the time to promote your horseshit???

You are the worst con artist i have ever seen. You are the load your mom should have swallowed.

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)!
