The Pump And Dump Blues: Nothing Compares 2 U, In Loving Memory Of Cannon Exploration Inc (CNEX)
I’m sorry to have to announce the passing of Cannon Exploration Inc. (CNEX), a beautiful and vivacious pump and dump, who at the height of her popularity, was taken from us prematurely, like so many of our brave soldiers around the world
Beautiful CNEX, I know that living with you was sometimes hard, but I composed this wholly original song and even made a music video (even though the singer got the words wrong) in your honor.
It’s been seven hours and five dollars
Since you took your pump away
I research every hour and wait all day
Since you took your pump away
Since you been gone I can write about whatever I want
I can trade any stock I choose
I can look for stocks that are breaking out
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these pump and dump blues
`Cause no pump compares
No pump compares to you
It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a broker without cocaine
Nothing can stop these other stocks from being boring
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my account in every Supernova I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the Google n’guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said boy u better trade and write
No matter how you do
But he’s a fool
`Cause no pump compares
No pump compares to you
All the spam that you sent, Cannon
In the email
All got deleted when your stock crashed
I know that pumping up your price was sometimes hard
But I’m hoping you give it another try
No pump compares
No pump compares to you
No pump compares
No pump compares to you
No pump compares
No pump compares to you
HERE is the music video we made…

Maybe CNEX made you some money, maybe she lost you some, but please sign the guestbook below and share your memories.

Sometimes I think I’m on this site too much and then you bring out sinead o’ connor and it all makes sense. LOL, I fucking love it.

good god you’re a funny guy. I have your site set as a homepage tab BECAUSE you offer comedy and consistent profits.

It’s to the point where the site is just entertaining. I would check in everyday just for fun, but the fact that we’re all learning(even Tim) this game is icing on the cake.

well see that’s the thing, we’re coming back because he makes it fun. I can very well learn on other sites too, but because they make a skill that’s already dry even drier and overly complex, I don’t re-visit their site. Tim adds his ridiculous personality to it, and he makes something that is pretty complex (lining up all of the variables before a pump-and-dump POS stock drop off) understandable. I think we’re learning BECAUSE it’s fun. I can very well hang out at other sites, but those sites lack the comedy and the community spirit.

Ben Bien…if we were to take a survey here, how many hours per day do you think people actually spend on tim’s website??? Just curious. I think I spend a couple hours on it a day? I have this place bookmarked for sure!

You know Tim, I always thought of you more as the Mike D type than the Sinead O’Connor type, but you nailed it. And I laughed my ass off reading this.

I will deeply miss you.
I was going to your funeral, but the taxi (my broker) never arrived (did not give me any shares to short.
Deeply Sorry, was willing to go with you all the way from 7.25 where I put my sell order and would have covered around 4.5. But my broker never delivered……. so sooorry…… I really am……
Every short I make….
Every order I place….
Every breakdown fake…
Every little gain…
I’ll be missing you.
Since you’ve gone
I can’t short
I lost my pace
I dream of you
If I could only shorted that shares
I keep on begging
broker .. broker ….pleeeaaaasee !!!!

I’m signing it because I shorted into close last night and just made a nice chunk of change for myself, not enough to take an entire dorm out to dinner but enough to take about 8 people out for beers and burgers.

might want to keep you eyes on MCIO, jumped .90 or 42.8% for no apparent reason. looks like it’ll pull back a bit as it did back in march

eb,
I think I spend around an hour or so a day on the site. I’ve been keeping up with the new posts and TIMradio shows. I’m still in my learning phase so that’s why I need to stay close to Tim’s supportive nipple and get weaned in PennyStocking.

Makes me want to open an account at TOS just so I could get in on some of this pinky dumping action. Down 66% in one day is not something that’s going to happen everyday.

Nope, it doesn’t. This one was a rare opportunity. When Tim says not to trade so often and to stalk prey, I think he means to wait for clean targets like CNEX.

I switched over to TOS because I wanted to learn and follow Tim’s strategy as close as possible. TOS is awesome and Im happy I switched over.
