15 hot hot hot stocks to watch

Get ready, unveiling a project of mine tomorrow that’s gonna help you guys better understand this game…big-time

15 Low Priced Stocks You Should Know About Or At Least Laugh At

Tags: Breakouts, Hot Stocks, Patterns To Buy, Potential Plays

MAXLIFE FUND CORP (MXFD) might be a scam, but it’s one that just broke out a multi-month base above $20 and that’s why it gets its chart shown here…as tough as it is, gotta learn to buy scams on breakouts cuz the shorties are squealing, squeal shorts, squeal, you give this strategy a bad name…hope this thing goes to $30+

X-Rite, Incorporated (XRIT) says their liquidity has improved…yeahhh right, given these guys’ track record, they’re bound to screw up sooner rather than later…hopefully we can get a few suckers drinking the turnaround Kool-Aid some more

NGAS Resources, Inc. (NGAS) has short sellers that think it’s a real dog, too bad those shorts haven’t studied technical analysis cuz this is one steady uptrender…squeal you dumb shorts, you’re not worthy of having any money to your name

SatCon Technology Corporation (SATC) is trying to be a solar play, actually getting orders, too bad they’re just an industry joke, they are to the solar industry what Tim Sykes is to the trading community, good thing we’re both hitting new highs, ever so gradually  

The Latest Glowing Book Review For “An American Hedge Fund”

Tags: Book Reviews, Books, Cool Products, TIMreads

It’s reviews like this that really make me proud. Forget that this guy thoroughly enjoyed my book for a second—more importantly, you’ll see he was even more pleased that somebody else in this joke of an industry shared similar experiences as him. I call this a joke of an industry only because of the ridiculous SEC regulations that divide us and prevent us from sharing our experiences openly. To cut through all the misconceptions caused by this regulatory BS—that’s the goal of my book and website…thank God it looks like I’m succeeding.

Take your stinking paws off us you damn dirty SEC!

(The views expressed above are solely my own and do not reflect the views of the book reviewer below)

I just wanted to thank you for recommending (and writing) your book (An American Hedge Fund)
I just finished it a few minutes ago.
I am not a big reader,
And yet I read it cover to cover in 2 sittings!
It was fantastic!

Honestly, I felt like the book was detailing my own life.
I am a trader as well, and have a startup brokerage/trading firm.  

PennyStocking Success Means New Website Features: Quotes & Chat

Tags: Blogging, Cool Products, DVD, Milestones

Congratulations to PennyStocking!

It started out late last year with me starting this blog, rambling on about how penny stocks were more predictable than regular stocks and that if I could turn thousands into millions in just a few years, everyone else can too–particularly because I’m not even that great at it! Since this was a rather remarkable concept, I pledged to repeat my feat, to prove to everybody what kinds of profits were possible. Some people believed me, but most didn’t understand what the hell I was talking about, choosing to write me off as just another snake-oil salesman.

Now, just six months later, when there are daily posts from PennyStocking students like Webster making $900 per day and JeffMoates making $10,000 over the past month, I’m filled with pride. People are starting to realize this ain’t no BS marketing scheme and I ain’t no snakeoil salesman, this is real and I’m your crazy yet experienced guide.

New post about a perfect breakout, careful Sykes is gonna curse it!

PDO rebounding +$3 off its morning lows, amazing…GBR too scary spread/quick breakdown…KYUS nos hares to short :(

My Latest AOL Finance Article: True Religion Apparel, Inc. (TRLG)

Tags: AOL, Breakouts, Hot Stocks, Patterns To Buy

I’m a short seller so I’m lookin’ and lookin’ for stuff to short and other than KYUS, which had no shares available…anywhere…today at least, all I seem to find lately are perfect breakout plays of real companies! Charts like Third Wave Technologies, Inc. (TWTI), which I mentioned in this morning’s post, and now True Religion Apparel, Inc. (TRLG), which I just detailed in THIS AOL Finance post.

While neither are right for PennyStocking or any short term trading for me, they both have a lot going for them and probly wouldn’t make such bad investments. (Uhhhh I can’t believe I just used the word “investents”. I feel dirty. Blehhhh.) But seriously TWTI is a pure play for testing HPV, an STD that’s infected 20 million Americans and 6 million new ones each year. Good business to be in, even if their losses are substantial…especially if it can truly confirm this breakout by cracking its 2001 $11 IPO price…

Stocks to watch today

Hot Stocks: Vivus Inc (VVUS), Third Wave Technologies Inc (TWTI) & More!

Tags: Breakouts, Hot Stocks, Patterns To Buy, Potential Plays

CabelTel International Corp. (GBR) and KENTUCKY USA ENERGY INC (KYUS) are the stocks I’m targeting to short today…GBR because Friday was its first down day—which I missed due to LiveStock—even if the spread is ridiculous…hopefully there’ll be an opening spike due to oil…KYUS didn’t finish red, but the momentum definitely suffered, let’s see how many more mailers these guys can send out, can’t go on forever.

I also missed the roller coaster known as Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (SINO)—all you people buying Friday afternoon are just complete morons. Seriously. Have I taught you nothing? Why the hell would you ever buy a speculative company that’s already risen so much, especially when it cracked support at $24? Did you believe the message board hype? You really haven’t watched my PennyStocking DVD yet, have you? For shame.

Then there’s the royally volatile oil-related plays

TIMtv clips are up!

See, not everyone is a pump and dumper…surprising

TIMTV Is Here And It’s Gonna Entertain Ya!

Tags: Cool Products, Impatience, LiveStock, TIMtv, Videos

Besides LiveStock (another live show later this week…Friday afternoon again), and a few other shows I’m working on (oh yes, there’s more…), TIMtv is all about quality entertaining/comedic clips meant to help traders pass the time in between worthy trades (oh yes, everything I do is educational…somewhat). I know from experience how tough it is not to take a small positions here and there—just for the potential profit/experience/rush and you must avoid that temptation cuz that’s not the way to make big % returns. TIMtv is gonna help you focus on only the worthiest of trades by wasting away market hours upon market hours of your lives.

Here’s the first batch, if you know of any more great clips, preferably on Youtube and finance/business related, definitely send ‘em my way!

Will Ferrell on CNBC…truly great clip

You can’t handle the truth…business-style…very solid

People on Wall Street aren’t the only ones full of BS…you will LOL  

What Classy Pump & Dumper Dennis Gartman Can Learn From Classy Fund Manager Sy Jacobs & How To Profit From It

Tags: Financial Media Circus, Manipulation, Real Wall Streeters

Remember the time when self-proclaimed stock picking guru Dennis Gartman pumped up no-revenue-earning microcrap joke-of-a-company Converted Organics Inc. (COIN) by mentioning it alongside his other picks in Barrons? No matter that ALL his other picks were multi-billion dollar companies with actual businesses.

Well, since that pump COIN has taken a dump and in the latest Barrons article posted on The Big Picture, a smalltime fund manager who basically predicted this housing downturn shows Dennis how to behave in interviews. Here’s the paragraph that does it:

A memorial to another fallen pump and dump, god I hate goodbyes

Look at the 4th tab on TIMwrites, oh yeah, we got our own quotes/news and charts now courtesy of AlphaTrade.com!

We’ve Only Just Begun: A Memorial To BodyTel Scientific, Inc. (BDYT)

Tags: Analogies, Breakdowns, Missed Opportunities, Songs, Stock Obituaries

This Memorial Day we commemorate not only the men and women who perished in service to their country but the pumps and dumps that inevitably perish in service to their manipulators. Each year thousands fall, so let us celebrate the life of the pump known as BDYT, who’d only just begun to blossom, with a song I wrote:

We’ve only just begun to surge,
Stock spam and promises
A check for the promoters and we’re on our way.
And yes, We’ve just begun.

Before the doubters we fly,
So many market makers to choose
We start our upticking and learn to run.
And yes, We’ve just begun.

New article about AAPL, have fun cheerleaders

Great that you guys keep watching LiveStock, but don’t trust chatroom aliases, pumpers pretending to be me

Why The iPhone 3G Might Make Apple Inc. (AAPL) A Breakout Buy

Tags: Hot Stocks, Potential Plays, Story Stocks

Now as you know AAPL isn’t my typical play, but since I’m awake 20 hours/day thinking about all potential profit angles, this one’s popped up on my radar. THIS 3G iPhone news has whipped the no-stock-market-experience-geeks into a frenzy as if they were strippers on coke and the usual stock-market-talking-heads are now running around as if they were about to utter something meaningful for once (nahhhhhhhhh, that’ll ever happen!), so I gotta interject. And remember, my word actually means something cuz not only is my trading account up 40% in the past 6 months, I nailed how Visa would perform (initial VMW-type price rise, but slightly more conservative, before quick drop off, seriously…months before its happened, read my article HERE), but most importantly, a few months ago before its 40% drop, I smacked all those AAPL cheerleaders with $300 price targets across their big fat fee-earning, research-lacking faces by urging caution at $200…see glorious article HERE)

Now I return to this playground because, thanks to this news, the upcoming price action might just turn out to be pretty damn predictable. All because, as with any new potential blockbuster product, people love to speculate on bigtime success…momentum buyers enter, short sellers exit and the stock breaks out to new highs before the new product even hits the shelves.
