16 Stocks Breaking Out aka Gotta Learn To Go Long Too

There are always profit opportunities with low priced stocks, but the trading style you adopt, risks you take, capital and goals are all up to you. Now on a day like yesterday when there’s no decent short plays—meaning I’m pretty much outta the game—that doesn’t mean there aren’t some solid breakouts.

As I posted last night, I bought HYHY,
so primed to be the next KYUS, pump and dump, shake and bake!

TIMalert subscribers were also emailed at 8am that my fav pattern was a probable breakout on NANOVIRICIDES INC (NNVC). Sure it came true, but we’re talking 10-13 cents/share here…not bad $-wise if u had enough shares, but even if I sent out a followup alert seconds after I bought it (had my order in at $1.50, didn’t get executed), slippage would mean people would be up 5-7 cents/share…and that’s ideal…not exactly mind blowing. Kinda like SatCon Technology Corporation (SATC)’s failed followup to its picture perfect breakout.

Much better have been A-Power Energy Generation Systems, Ltd. (APWR)’s breakout, think $4+/share in 2 days…or Oilsands Quest Inc. (BQI) now nearly $1/share breakout, although with some nasty drawdowns, and

LNG Mike caught this on his scrolling HOD list…long-term shorts scared of potential bottom, rightfully so

FPP I considered buying this beautiful breakout, along with PDO, but this one had a weird close

ELN is waaaay too pricey for tiny TIM, but it’s a solid long-term breakout

SPIR is one of the worst solar plays out there, reserve shares cuz it could be a good short today

GNLK is trying to breakout, but it’s awfully steep, if you wanna squeeze a short in there, I don’t suggest it, but it might be doable, reserve shares just in case

SINO was a nice bottom bouncer, but lots of bitter holders at higher prices mean this could be a good short reversal play, reserve shares early

KAZ is an earnings breakout, awfully fast for such a boring stock though…I’m not shorting anytime soon

CADM has now doubled recently, but it’s a new age surgery play, remember CRDC…all due to ISRG success, shorting is dangerous down here

EUGS is a sketchy oil play up a mere 9x in a few weeks…reserve shares to short just in case

ABAT another clean breakout play, too many, right?

BESN is one nobody knows anything about, but it’s environmentally friendly so it’s going up…c’mon CNEX-like pattern, c’mon big CNEX!

NOEC is such a sad agri play—like GRO and SEED—I hope it spikes even more so I can short the manure outta it…reserve shares just in case

  • Tim HYHY is available for a short today (obviously its still a buy after this morning dip, imo not anywhere near a short) - is it possible to put a higher limit GTC?, such as high $3.80+ and have that carry over day after day since they are borrowable today and probably won't be another day? or is there a chance they'll just cancel the GTC? Any experiance with that?
  • sniper6
    wow amazing start too many opportunities!!
  • How do you know if a stock is available for short? I know it depends alot on your broker but besides that.

    Also, Tim speaks alot of reserving shares to short. How do you reserve shares to short?
  • By the way Tim...

    Great decision on holding HYHY overnight...up .16 in just 15 minutes into open. GREAT READ!!!
  • sniper6

  • Tim here is the pic of the HYHY mailer

    http://www.investorslive.com/blog/2008/06/tiv-t...

    check out TIV, huge breakout

    MYEC starting to fall about I'd still love to see this lose $3 turning into a long term short haha BUT at least I'm green on it

    HYHY still full control, circulation to large this will prolly run hard for a few days, gather a bunch of shorts and squeeze them towards $4
  • Rambone
    EGY ..new 52 week high. Energy stock
  • Mike_13th
    a buck already TIV!
  • Rambone
    YRCW- 18.63...lots more upside left.
  • Rambone
    COIN breakout...
  • sniper6
    Long EGY, been holding since $4.80. Notice I'm only listing my victories today, but been kicked in the nuts plenty of times. I notice my shittiest non-performing positions are producing today, weird, never woulda guessed. Makes me nervous.
  • Rambone
    SHZ on the move. 3.40
  • trader@MIT
    Reduce oil by 1 billion barrels a year with what?
    That box?
  • Rambone
    PINN day highs 2.89. Oil play.
  • sniper6
    any time NFLD goes up, even a penny, I know things are fucked. wacky market prediction, DJIA will test 12000 today.
  • Rambone
    If you have options trading. POT 230 PUTs expiring this Fri. Selling for 1.30. High risk high reward. I think POT closes at 225 by this FRI. These will be up 200-300%. AG's have peaked. They are known to free fall before options expiration.
  • JensGould
  • sniper6
    About SATC, this is a good chance to reload IMO, already I have cashed in on their last two breakout attemtpts, it is worth watching. Good Luck to all.
  • trader@MIT
    W/ crude shorted FPP @ 7.13
  • sniper6
    shoulda stayed with CATY short. Oh well.
  • Aegir
    TGC >> volume ALERT up 11%!!
  • Rambone
    NOEC broke 7. You can short this one down to 6. Neve can hold a gain.
  • no tooo many people expect NOEC to go down, i enter ONLY if early shorts get squeezed, thats called higher probability short selling
  • sniper6
    good posts. keep em coming
  • Andy Dearden
    just made $300 on HYHY thanks to TIMalerts!!! when i first read tims blog on HYHY i put a order in for 2000 shares, having trust in Tim. The next morning i cancelled the order! i dont know why! so after debating to buy 2000 shares i steped up to the plate and bought 2000 shares at $2.36. becoming scared after seeing this fraud move i had the balls to stay and eventually sold at $2.50. This gave me a profit of about $290.. THANKS TIM AND HIS AWESOME TIMALERTS!!!!
  • BDCO being hyped as next FPP and PDO, up only 15 cents since hyping began, could be a runner, not my kind of play, but I bet Mike is in, rightttttt Mike?
  • Aegir
    NNVC > ABAT > TGC > all looking good.
  • Rambone
    Options are very high risk but those POT options I called earlier.

    1.30 to 2.60 now. 100% gainer in less than an hour. Cashing out half. Makes up for my STSA which I sold today for a $.50 loss.
  • Mike_13th
    Tim, congrats on HYHY and 19k high

    Yes in BDCO,vol spiking will sell at 1.95 if and flip short probably.

    Rambone,NOEC can't hold a gain,agree.

    I sold my HYHY eod...you were right Tim!
  • Rambone
    PINN at 2.93 is the best play in the market right now for risk vs reward .Nice and steady up she goes. This breaks 3.25 it will go bonkers.
  • lmsmith
    LBAS--- I had to buy in this a.m 7.77..... it's been hitting new highs for the past 2 weeks...even if it's only a .10 move, but this is .10 per day- and we know that adds up.. let's see how high this pos will go before it eventually falls....
  • Mike_13th
    BDCO strong so far 2.14
  • moneymakingmike
    Is anyone short on AMNT.OB?

    I read on the message board that the CEO and his son were part of Winners Internet Network...a scam company that was shut-down by the SEC.

    All of you probably knew that already but thought I would share. Not sure if I can enter the AMNT.OB pond now since it has been beaten down.
  • trader@MIT
    Rambone, where is the number 3.25 coming from?
  • younggunz
    whew made 5% on hyhy going long. Jumped on SURG short. my first offer got rejected at 3.30 and got in a little lower then I wanted to at $3.19. I am liking the vertical movement so I went for it.
  • younggunz
    Watching HYHY closely. hoping to see it squeeze or crack soon.
  • Mike_13th
    BDCOOOOOOOOOOOOO 2.27
  • Rambone
    Technically if PINN takes $3 you should see a nice spike but before tankage in mid may the 1 month support line was 3.10-3.25 since begining of April. It could be anyone of those numbers. I just used 3.25 because it was on the high end which would confirm a break out.
  • younggunz
    Tim new idea for you. You need to have a video capture of your screen as you're watching the charts and making your trades. I think it will give the best understanding of what you're actually seeing when you make your moves. That way after you're done you can show people what was happening at that very moment that made you pull the trigger on a trade. I think it will also translate better the tension in an actual trading situation.

    Basically trying to figure out where you got in and when you got out by looking at the chart and reading your buy and sell prices I think there is a lot lost in translation that I don't see. I think it also is what is missing from what people are interpreting from what you're trying to teach and what is actually going on in your head.

    If you can do a video capture of your trades it would be nice to at least get an animation of the chart's movement and at what point you jumped in and when the chart did after and then when you got out. Something like how you can run a simulation on a GPS route and it simulates the trip you plotted on screen.
  • trader@MIT
    I was thinking that the 3.000 breakout would be long gone by 3.25
  • trader@MIT
    BDCO at 2.30....haha this is hilarious
  • stephen samperi
    i like to buy and short. i feel fine doing whatever the market wants. i dont know how you can short so much. you are so negative tim! but it is cool.
  • trader@MIT
    It's easier to spot frauds than it is to spot real companies in the sector Tim plays.
  • Rambone
    NEON is an oldie. Showing signs of life at .48 on a dead cat bounce. these guys make an I-Phone competitior. Would anyone touch it?
  • Mike_13th
    ABAT more hods....SHZ interesting near 4,especially if doesn't break 4
  • SamuraiRat

    BDCO 2.36 hit
  • supertrader
    HYHY not a reliable short till another day when it goes below previous days close, till then stay long and strong and let it go slow into strength, guessin far from over to upside but don't get caught
  • supertrader

  • Vaibhav
    On a different note, reading your webpages and book really helped me in shorting stocks.
    I short sell 1200 LEH at 27.92 and bought back at 23.6, pretty sweet profit of more than $5k.

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)!
