Somebody’s making $$$$ off my strategy and wants to share it with everybody!

Why Trading Journals Are Just As Important As Trading Profits

Tags: Blogging, Cool Products, DVD, DVD Reviews

Just got an email from a very satisfied PennyStocking DVD student who’s not only made the DVD’s cost back 13x times over in only a few weeks, but also done something rather interesting and I encourage you all to do the same:

Tim, just wanted to tell you that within 3 weeks of watching your DVD, twice, my $25,000 account is already up to $28,946, thanks to shorting those perfect Supernovas, VRML and VM, on which I see I did better than you! (sorry!)

I just started a public journal on ET so I’d love for your readers to come check out my thread! I know you’ve sworn to never post on ET (and after a few weeks I can see why) but I’m going to be diligent in my record keeping and hopefully help you cut through the BS that’s out there. Thank you again for everything, your speedy email replies (although not lately?1?!?) have helped immensely and I can’t imagine trading anything other than Supernovas ever again!

Sincerely,

Jeff Rogers

How I Broke My Rules And Lost Short Selling A Fraud, Cannon Exploration Inc (CNEX)

Tags: Breakouts, Fess Up Time, Hot Stocks, Patterns To Buy, Supernovas

Just about everyone and their mother understands Cannon Exploration Inc (CNEX) is a an outright fraud. Whether you look at PinkSheets.com displaying a skull and cross bones with the tagline “Caveat Emptor” next to its stock quote, its now $470 million marketcap (at $7.25 stock price), the blatant pumping by all the usual suspects and the fact that this company has no business of any kind and has now septupled (7x) in price in 5 days all due to a fluffy PR announcing a new website and a sketchy letter of intent to acquire a seemingly real business, no doubt in exchange for pumped up shares.

Knowing all that, you might understand why I shorted 600 shares yesterday at $6/share half expecting it to go higher—with the goal of averaging my cost basis up too—but never excluding the possibility of a quick $1-2 drop in price.

That’s all well and good, but as a PennyStocker, I have no excuse and my $760 loss (I just covered at $7.20), including commissions, is well deserved. Because while this company is scummier than most, it’s just the latest pump and dump that can—and often do—run further than anyone thinks possible so I still should’ve played by the rules I myself created! Rule #1, don’t short randomly strong penny stocks, you gotta wait for the price action to concur with your thesis. Usually it’s best to short into the market close of the first down day of a big runup, but sometimes that’s too late, so shorting in the afternoon when this kind of a stock goes from positive to negative often opens the door to a big afternoon dump.

no pre-market volume on TAYD, guess no promoter cares enough :(

10 Stocks In Play: Where Do You Fit Into The PennyStocking Spectrum?

Tags: Breakdowns, Breakouts, DVD, Hot Stocks, Missed Opportunities, Potential Plays, Short Selling, Short Squeezes, Supernovas

Remember: just cuz I suck at buying breakouts—patience and actually being around to buy-wise—doesn’t mean you’re gonna suck at it too. It’s much much much easier to buy these suckers on the way up than is it to short sell cuz it’s more fun to party than it is to inform everyone that the bar is closing and that the strippers all have STDs….that’s basically what it’s like to short these dirty scummy stocks. Below you see a wide range of PennyStocking patterns from which you could and should profit…really just gotta get grounded in my DVD course so you can understand all the variables at work so you can adapt to all the evolving patterns…obviously.


LGDI
VRML

Plummeted bigtime/nicely…despite my $1,000+ in gains between LGDI and VRML, holding one week longer coulda woulda shoulda been an extra $3,000 in profits at yesterday’s closing prices! Are you beginning to understand that as long as you short these turds just as their absurd Supernova buying firestorms appear to fade, even just a little bit, there’s a whole lot of $ to be made? (and despite my 56% return over the past 6 months, anybody who has a decent grounding in PennyStocking could should would be up 100%+ (See TIM results and Supernova slide above to better understand)

NNVC
PSTI

Already began to fade…missed NNVC, thanks a lot Chuckieeeeeeeeee, PSTI so gradual, anybody find any shares to short?
