10 Hot Stocks & Other Cynical Views On The Trashy World Of Penny Stocks
VRML Still 1,300 Shares short @ $3.75
LGDI
Both are supernovas, LGDI near its highs, but VRML still up waaay more %-wise…both have fading volume, both can still squeeze shorts even though they’ll probly fail. I’m short VRML cuz it’s up on stock promoters, ill-researched media story and best of all the company is a truly failing biotech microcrap in the same vein as REED, VION, DARA and PSTI—each of which also jumped 200%+ and have now retraced ALL of their gains (PSTI is only halfway, but give its also the newest)
VRML coulda woulda shoulda gone negative on the day, cracking the key $3.40 yesterday, but they smartly issued a fluffy PR I won’t dignify linking to (they formed a committee)(you think they don’t know that would squeeze some shorts c’mon, this is the beauty of pumping–they don’t have actual business to tie them down, their business is getting the stock up!…still, after an initial spike, very nice gradual downtrending all day, great sign, sooner or later, we’ll get some panic selling
HDSN
You can’t stop this air conditioner play (seriously) after it just reported solid earnings…good for 25 cents/share intraday peaks and valleys, if you’re into that sort of thing
OIL
Woooo $125, I don’t care. I hope it goes to $1,000, then we’ll get plenty of great oil pump and dumps and our short selling 
profits will be that much greater when the whole world is in the midst of a crippling depression!
STATS
No, it’s not a ticker, just thought I’d share that 8 days into this new month, we just surpassed all the page views for December—that calls for a quintuple jewwwww yahhhhh!
CTDC
Great example of why you don’t short randomly strong penny stocks…Let it have its day in the sun, after all, this eternally trashy company just changed industries specifically to hype itself up! You don’t think I know what I’m talking about? Fine go ahead and short it, you’ll either make 50 cents/share or get squeezed $1-2, have fun with that craptastic risk-reward
SUNV
Great example of why you take profits on the reversal and then you move on when it stops going down
ENT
I’d never buy this kind of breakout, classic classic slight afternoon intraday/multi-month breakout above $3 followed by a little tankage—pros trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy
NNVC
One of the all-time sleaziest companies out there, it ain’t spiking’ cuz its got a future, its spiking cuz its paying to be spiked! Nothing special, just the usual suspects
SYNM
Just because they’ve moved to the Nasdaq doesn’t mean they’re gonna stop paying promoters…it’s a gradual riser now
JYHW
Don’t forget about buying this one if and when it breaks $2.75, they’re a proven pay-to-play pump and dumper
HYBR
Speaking of paying companies, this one is near legendary and is trying to get back in the game. Anybody got a spare $100,000-$200,000 to loan them?

great call last week on shorting LNG - I’ve been in and out; got in again this morning just before their “earnings” press release

Lets focus back on stocks people? This is turning into a Google message board.
IAR - fading afternoon. Tho its an earnings play what u guys think?

“Oh yeah, I’ve been retired for 7 years too asshole”
“2 door Bob, I’ve been trading for 11 years and have never called it work, I love it. Plus its a fun way to make money to support my 4 teenagers”
…Sweet, this has become the Yahoo! msg boards!!!!!
I wish one could filter out all the noise and just get tips on stocks in play!!!

Bob, my screen name is the combination of two guitar players that I listen to….Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai…Yngwie was pretty big in the 80’s, Steve Vai used to play for David Lee Roth & Whitesnake but has been solo for many years now
126Alex
May 9th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Goose - I see we awe both thinking the exact same thing at the same tiem. I think timmay’s site should have a place for irrelevent banter and a place for reporting stocks in play. Anyone who abuses the stocks in play board should get banished from posting there. What you say Tim?
127YngvaiMalmsteve
May 9th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Damn NNVC popped back up. I was in too early….should’ve waited until this afternoon.
128timothysykes
May 9th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
why short NNVC here, do u guys not understand me when i say dont short randomly strong penny stocks?
129Bob (VC)
May 9th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Yngvai- Now it makes sense. That’s why it sounded familiar when I tried to say it, but still didn’t make sense to me. Wow, Yngwie Malmsteen- I haven’t heard that name in quite a while.

Is there an easy way to create a list of stocks you’re watching that all get updated in real-time? I’ve got an account with TOS…wondering if it can be done there…
131YngvaiMalmsteve
May 9th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Tim, NNVC has been pumped up off of a press release on 5/5 about a small trial on one of their drugs. It’s been running since then. It’s got the beginning of the supernova-ish chart pattern. Every time it’s done this in the past it’s come back down. But I just got in way too early…should’ve waited for weakness in trading volume and I didn’t.

Goose, I was out of SSBX at $2.52 (post #77 above). It was definitely not an ideal one to enter a position (despite 7 straight session low) but took a tiny risk (with a very tight stop) after reading an ANALyest Sandler O’Neill downgraded to sell when SSBX was trading under $3. What the f%$k was he doing when it was $26, $13, $7.50, $5 ? I know what these a$$holes want when they upgrade and downgrade stocks. I hope you took profit (at least some). Thinking about entered a small short position on MBI after listening to Ackman comments on CNBC this morning. What do you say?

i meant 2008….any ways sykes hater why dont you start posting good ideas and we will see if they pan out im just curious to see…but im sure you will have some excuse like you have too much money and u wouldnt waste your time…u better not let Mr. Lynch know your wasting company time and resources posting on this lame site

Tim are you plannin on holding VRML over th weekend if it doesnt tank this afternoon?
137Davey(TIMBUCKS: $132)
May 9th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Some of you guys are on the wrong site, these stocks are random as hell, why not just mention them on a random message board and not where we are looking for specific plays. Why are we talking about IAR and RHD here. Just enjoy the day until a play evolves or wait till next week.

CAn SOL make it to 18.50?
139Pump n Dumper
May 9th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
I hope you all realize whenever you boy Tim is in a stock, the sheer fact that you all are shorting it after him helps him out tremendously. These stocks are illiquid so any large buy/sell blocks help push the price of these stocks that much easier. So congratulations on making your man TIM rich again when he lost it the first time around! Give yourselves a round of applause!
140Davey(TIMBUCKS: $132)
May 9th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Dumper, no offense but there are tiny accounts on this site, most under 25K, and to tell you the truth, just look at the comments above most people aren’t playing Tim’s stock, and usually there are only 2 or 3 people that actually have the shares to short these things anyway.
141RGIlles(TIMBUCKS: $16)
May 9th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
What’s wrong pump n dumper couldn’t find VRML shares either?
142Dan-O
May 9th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Gosh, Thanks Dumper I didn’t realize that.
Perhaps I should put my money in treasuries… the most overvalued asset in the world.
143Bob (VC)
May 9th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
3.40, I dub thee the most annoying support level ever…

Tony - kinda low volume on SOL and it’s the third attempt to breakout 18.50. Did you buy APWR? - it’s holding up well

Anyone else wanting to buy AGEN since it has come down off its recent news spike? I don’t think it was complete fluff news - there’s some substance there.

watching VRML breakdown is like watching my haters try to form rational thoughts, both will happen eventually, just not easy for either of them

OME a good short here.

be-the-ball- when u thinking about covering ur position in XRM?
151alister1
May 9th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Dan-O i think this guy is a tool too, but Treasuries are not overvalued.
I firmly believe though a nice long/short mix is the way to go, keep up the good work tim
152Bob (VC)
May 9th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
It’s like poetry Tim!
Now in Haiku form:

Is everyone signed up at cnbc’s portfolio challenge? lol
159Tony Ellis(TIMBUCKS: $24)
May 9th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Probably going to pass on SOL. May consider if it breaks 18.85 with really strong volume into the close.
160Ryan
May 9th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Who cares about CNBC’s portfolio challenge? If I can make money for real, I will make million dollars myself instead of wasting time picking stock for CNBC’s portfolio challenge. Don’t you agree Tim?
BTW, Tim didn’t participate himself in last year’s challenge except he appeared on CNBC with pretty chicks. Any plan to bring them back this year on CNBC with you Tim?
