Manipulation Monday: 12 Stocks That I Wish Were More Greatly Manipulated :(

Should I have stayed short KYUS over the weekend? I left because there might be trouble (weekend mailers?), but if I stayed it would be double (me a part of the potential short squeeze)…nah good decision to take profits…got my shares reserved to get back in today if it starts fadin’…lately spam stocks haven’t been collapsing like they should and I don’t have the capital to stick around…no I don’t, I’m just a no-class beat down fool and I will always be that way, I might as well enjoy my small gains and teach you readers to play!

UPDATE: Damn I know these shady companies right, fearful of a large drop in price, they had a fluffy PR pre-market this morning, seriously, this game is that corrupt

XRM and ENT have both spiked quickly, but both had solid earnings reports so don’t be so quick to short them as they’ll probly only fade, not collapse like those that spike due to hype and paid-for promotion…and in the meantime they’ll squeeze naïve short sellers who don’t know the difference…oh yes not all chart patterns are not created equally, welcome to why PennyStocking is different from all other market niches, it’s corruption baby, when there’s no corruption, there’s less reversibility

CPSL had a bigtime earnings spike, with volume of 20mil shares…last time this happened was last September when it spiked from $4 to $12…those with balls bough late Friday for probable Monday morning gap, let’s see how far this one goes, remember patterns evolve and other than one quick dip last spike, it stayed up in the clouds for over a month…

MMGW is an illiquid sucker that after some nice low volume/hard to take advantage of for big profits from the short side consolidation is right back to its old highs…can it breakout?

With PDO, you just gotta let it be, let it be, this one’s good for scalping only, so let it be. Let it be, let it be, oh let it be, this one’s good for scalping only, let be.

With MXC, you just gotta let it be, let it be, this one’s good for scalping only, so let it be. Let it be, let it be, oh let it be, this one’s good for scalping only, let be.

Neither of these stocks are gonna collapse in a heartbeat, for similar Supernova charts, scroll down HERE and take a look at IPIX…that went to $28 and it was based on hype, not commodity prices…most of you weren’t around back for the Y2K plays that went from like $5 to $90 within a few weeks, not probable here but these are two illiquid bastards, so don’t be too aggressive

LBAS is a good old manipulated fraud…remember their blatantly manipulated chart a while back? It’s baaaaaaaack! Like fellow spammers HYBR and MXFD, its’ going higher, squeezing the shorts who bet on long-term frauds…see why I get out so quickly?

CDY is one where you just sit back and look at its pretty chart…it’ll be a short eventually, but not today

cdybreakout Manipulation Monday: 12 Stocks That I Wish Were More Greatly Manipulated :(

Despite being in totally different fields, FPP is uhhh the same as CDY?!?!? Am I right or am I right? Or am I right?

fppbreaout Manipulation Monday: 12 Stocks That I Wish Were More Greatly Manipulated :(

RCH is a play on which I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again—sure they’re sketchy as all hell, but you don’t short just for sketchy-sake…those who do get squeezed…good news is there a great volume fade and sideways price action s Monday could be the dip day

KUN is another sketchy AMEX play that did dip/go negative on its third up day—probly cuz it ain’t got no news to support itself…normally I’d short into the close on the first down day, but I don’t like how well it rebounded off its morning lows, the fact that it’s an AMEX play and I was a bit concerned with my buying power…we’ll see if the pattern holds true and my worrying is all for nothing, gotta take out $4.40 which is a long way to go

CDY and FPP look promising thank you again.

Tim, did you take a look at AWRE?

YngvaiMalmsteve

Well I'm covering my KYUS short after that PR release. I'll end up not getting any profit like the rest of you guys because of that little bounce at the end Friday. Just a small $5 loss.

YngvaiMalmsteve

I'm out any plays today. No buying power. Nothing looks really ideal anyway.

traknologist

I'm getting spam about BEXP

kris

Hi Tim,
Newbie here...could u look at GETG? thx

timothysykes

i wouldnt be so quick to write KYUS off, it could spike, but it could also just ignore this fluff release and tank nicely too

thanks Kris, good find! not up enough for me to get really excited though

kris

oh, looking at shorting GETG...

kris

ok, thanks

Timevalue

Tim,

MY COMPLIMENTS - You are doing a wonderful public service by sharing your valuable knowledge with us little people. You are definitely an inspiration! Your parents and family must be very proud of you. When you talked about "sketchy characters getting extremely wealthy while amateurs are getting the shaft", I knew just whose side your heart was really working for.

MY QUESTION - Over the long term (and more directly related to this topic), do you ever feel any concerns that shorting microcap pump and dumps will ever become a fading opportunity as your website and knowledge becomes more widespread amongst the investing and trading community? In other words, won't the crooked PR sharpies eventually come up with effective countermeasures to your dissemination of information so that this would be a less profitable angle someday?
I know Wall Street is a mind-bogglingly huge place in terms of wealth, but I would think this potential problem would be more of an issue when dealing almost exclusively in tiny stocks. Any thought on this? Thanks Tim!

JMoates77

Sold 3000 RCH @ 11.10/Share for $770 profit. Thanks for the tip on Friday tim. Hopefully Davey appreciates the timeliness of the post. As I'm writing this, I wish I would have waited, but I wanted to get my $500+ profit and get out.

Davey

lol, MXC squeezing the life out of early shorts

YngvaiMalmsteve

Well because of that PR release I got scared out of my KYUS position 1st thing this morning for a very small $10 loss (after commissions). And now it's dropped about 10 cents :(

Davey

hey great job jmoates

YngvaiMalmsteve

This is the second time now I've gotten scared out of a winning position. First time was with NNVC...if I held my short for a few more days I would've had a very nice profit. And now KYUS, down to $2.27 as I write this :(

Christian

Hey Tim
Check out Pacific ethanol PEIX. Took a loss but revenues are up big time. The spike has happened...is it time to short this one??????

investorslive

MXC holy SMOKES

Davey

lol, MXC 28...wow these things can run

timothysykes

shorted 1500 FPP at 3.92, obviously too early into this spike, really just gotta stick with good ole KYUS

wes

Jmotes I was right wtih you on RCH. Out of my long at 11.10. I only had like 1k invested in it. But I think I made a decent % gain.

Look at MXC go!!!

Dan-O

Tim, did you reserve shares of PDO?

Ryan

Dan-O, why in the world are you being soooo impatient? Who on earth want to short MXC or PDO right now? Just wait, be patient! How many times Tim mentioned here not to short PDO or MXC at this time??

JMoates77

TDLP is being pumped by Lebed. Not enough yet to be a good short, but may be a decent long for a few weeks.

kris

MXC..is on fire.

morrisix

KUN looking weak, waiting for the whites of their eyes @ 4.40

timothysykes

covered 4.12 average, $350 loss, can't risk MXC type move

timothysykes

COIN major breakdown looking likelier

Dan-O

Ryan, last time Tim said not to short PDO he reserved shares for an afternoon fade.

I'm not impatient, I've passed on two seperate spikes on PDO.

eb

JMoates...congrats on the nice early profit!

Dan_O

Jmoates, check this out. Lebed pumps for exactly a month, set a reminder to give you a heads up on it and reap the rewards.

Stephen

MXC is a freaking rocket ship, is anybody with balls riding this long?

Dan_O

CNEH approaching major resistance.

timothysykes

short 200 MXC 27.07, not particularly smart or safe, but gotta short into the fear

FPP is NOT a POS; its profitable, earnings are UP

small 1.54 million float with 43% held by insiders

only 7k 0r .10% (a tenth of a tenth) % short last month,

so breakout is a mystery, barring more news.

gl tim, I'd be scared as hell after watching this thing for a couple days

investorslive

Nice Tim I'd like to see this back under $20

investorslive

We know its going there... just a matter of if it hits $30 first

jj4188

Tim,

I can't short yet, because I don't have a margin account. Since your site is primarily about shorting, I need to find another site that helps teach how to find stocks to go long on. I will keep reading this one, as shorting is my ultimate goal.

I've read some books, but they talk about 6-12 months before you see 15-30% return on a trade. I want to see that in 3 days or less.

Any ideas?

Thanks

KUN is making its big run for the day.

S Adams

If CHNR keeps going SHZ will follow it up.

timothysykes

out of MXC at 27.50, just dont have enough capital to risk it

YngvaiMalmsteve

FPP is in sideways price action. I've got shares reserved in case of a fade this afternoon

novalis78

after the chinese bubble late '07 comes the energy bubble may 08 :-)...this will soon be over with oil and energy stocks crashing back to sanity. probably not today, though!

sniper6

Not too sure about mxc squeeze... float showing 0.32% short interest, how many shorts can u really squeeze with such a low short interest?

wes

Anyone ever get an asshole trading desk support guy on TOS? I hate this NICKT guy and I think he hates me so he always picks up my reserve requests and hassles me. DICK

Anonymous

Looks like today is just a day for watching. Tim, take your own advice and re-read the title to your blog post. Not worth your time.

timothysykes

timevalue, thanks for the compliments, yes i'm sure my site will impact patterns, but as u can see form today's action, it's actually sometimes better to go long...so as long as i teach people about the variables, hopefully many of them will bat from both sides of the plate

jj http://www.thetechnicaltrader.net is good at going long these turds

yngvai thats the exact right way to look at it, i got so excited by todays absurd morning spikage, i went for the quick reversal plays, infinitely more difficult...I'm down $400sh and now i have no more trades for today...stupid stupid stupid

RGIlles

Wes I feel you man. I got him like 2 times and I get this arrogant vibe from him

sniper6

PDO is on a tear, big time insider sale earlier this month but price is still shooting up, how come no insiders are buying?

jeffrogers77

damn tim even i know to wait until the afternoon to short these stocks, u need to rewatch your dvd!

YngvaiMalmsteve

Yeah, Tim, I learned the hard way with NNVC, shorting it too early and getting squeezed. Now I have it in my rule list to reserve the shares and only short in the afternoon if the price action dictates it.

be-the-ball

MXC halted

will_the_thrill

usu is on a run.

sniper6

FPP sideways... take aim...

timothysykes

sniper, no, this isnt the kind of sideways action to look for for shorting FPP. its right near its highs, up plenty on the day and u gotta think about a possible squeeze tomorrow. no, no no, the sideways action i refer to is when a stock is slightly up or down on the day and looks to go bigtime negative...nowhere near that

MXC i predict AMEX is asking the company for information, company will say no news, stock will drop a bit...thats what i get for shorting in the morning, cant tell u how important a lesson it is

timothysykes

new post is up:

http://www.timothysykes.com/2008/05/19/quit-you...

thanks jeff, yes, since i can't trade the rest of the day, i'm gonna tkae the next 5 hours and rewatch my DVD....seriously, i'll have a post later tonight about what i learn

JMoates77

Good point Tim. Not only that, all the variables FPP has going for it look very similar to PDO and MXC. Beware shorting this one!

Mark

Any thoughts yet on KYUS for an overnight long/short?

wes

I wouldnt be caught dead long on kyus overnight.

Im waiting for an afternoon spike around 2.45 - 2.5 to short into, ill be holding overnight

timothysykes

careful with shorting KYUS, already has had 2 days of tankage, could easily send out another round of spam, squeezing shorts...only play here now seems to be longer term short, if u have the capital and can take possible pain

YngvaiMalmsteve

Yeah, I hear you guys on FPP. It's gradually trending back up so I canceled my reserves for now and will wait for another day. This one isn't ripe yet.

Mark

Thanks. I fouled up this morning. Chased it and shorted at 2.32 then fell for the little squeeze. I didn't even wait for it to hit the days high before jumping out. Cover executed at 2.37. Pitiful $275 loss. Oh well.

sniper6

okay, thanks. Anyway have aquired another target PEIX & watching closely. Up 40% today, insider sales recently, lots of short interest, good volume... who's getting squeezed now? Problem is this has been a falling knife for quite a while. Don't know whether to try and scalp up or short down.

sniper6

another problem it's an earnings play

sniper6

TOS shows PEIX is hard to borrow, probably too late to reserve shares anyhow. If earnings are good will probably grab a long position to scalp upwards

morrisix

RCH looking weak

markjohnson

I'm watching ya good short on fpp your on a roll lol

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)!
