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
Despite being in totally different fields, FPP is uhhh the same as CDY?!?!? Am I right or am I right? Or am I right?
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
Now you can Twitter any questions/comments to TIMhelp and obviously you can follow TIM on twitter too!

CDY and FPP look promising thank you again.
Shoot
Tim, did you take a look at AWRE?
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.
I’m out any plays today. No buying power. Nothing looks really ideal anyway.
I’m getting spam about BEXP
Hi Tim,
Newbie here…could u look at GETG? thx
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
oh, looking at shorting GETG…
ok, thanks
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!
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.
lol, MXC squeezing the life out of early shorts
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 :(
hey great job jmoates
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 :(
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??????
MXC holy SMOKES
lol, MXC 28…wow these things can run
shorted 1500 FPP at 3.92, obviously too early into this spike, really just gotta stick with good ole KYUS
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!!!
Tim, did you reserve shares of PDO?
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??
TDLP is being pumped by Lebed. Not enough yet to be a good short, but may be a decent long for a few weeks.
MXC..is on fire.
KUN looking weak, waiting for the whites of their eyes @ 4.40
covered 4.12 average, $350 loss, can’t risk MXC type move
COIN major breakdown looking likelier
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.
JMoates…congrats on the nice early profit!
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.
MXC is a freaking rocket ship, is anybody with balls riding this long?
CNEH approaching major resistance.
short 200 MXC 27.07, not particularly smart or safe, but gotta short into the fear
KYUS right back up.. almost green
AUSE keep an eye on, IDGI somehow still staying up, EFGU watching - volume the past 2 days
some squeezers too off scan

FPP Bottle Rocket up + $1 / +32%
LAST: FPP Bid: 4.01 Ask: 4.05 Last: 4.042 ($): 0.9021 Vol: 425,930

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.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=FPP
gl tim, I’d be scared as hell after watching this thing for a couple days
Nice Tim I’d like to see this back under $20
We know its going there… just a matter of if it hits $30 first
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
EMKR 8.75 ss
KUN is making its big run for the day.
If CHNR keeps going SHZ will follow it up.
out of MXC at 27.50, just dont have enough capital to risk it
FPP is in sideways price action. I’ve got shares reserved in case of a fade this afternoon
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!
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?
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
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.
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
