You really gotta understand how slaughtered people are getting right now—illiquid positions, leverage and a lack of joke of an industry transparency have combined to create the perfect storm….just ask John Devaney whose one awesome fund just went under.

Just like yesterday afternoon, today I have a full day of meetings with advertisers, partners, etc—don’t whine, you don’t need me to say when you should trade, if you’ve watched my PennyStocking DVD enough, you know EXACTLY what patterns and variables to look out for…and if I do these deals, I’ll finally be able to concentrate fully on trading/blogging…pray for me.

Not many pumps for me to short, just less predictable oil movers like FPP, HYGS, QTWW, blehhhh, I’ll take a good pump and dump any day of the week, but the pups go into hiding during market crashes…that’s the only reason why I care if this economy/market collapses—it influence pump and dumps!

Remember the other day when I featured FRE and FNM HERE as perfect breakdowns? Yeah well, those two stocks are influencing the entire market right now considering they account for half the $12 trillion market in home loans…educate yourself with THIS article—if they fail, say hello to Dow 10,000 and below (good, we could use a nice cleansing of all the dumb real estate money)!

Quest Minerals & Mining Corp. (QMNM) I missed this news runner yesterday afternoon, gotta love those pure hype day trades, don’t ever believe it’ll continue, better to play it safe.

Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (ALTI) definitely reserve shares to short as this one has short squeeze or dump, or short squeeze then dump, written all over it…lots of traders watching, already shorted, it’s good to be late to the party on these, less risk.

Akorn, Inc. (AKRX) is up on an actual contract, I don’t like shorting companies with meaningful news

GIGM had a nice afternoon fade yesterday, should dump this morning for quick gains, support at $12 cost of missing an afternoon trading although I mentioned what to look out for repeatedly throughout the day so lots of TIMalert subscribers are in on this…but I’m not sure how aggressive you should get on this, only up 30% off its low, I prefer 50%+

SMSI/ABAT both dumped, good for 50 cents, doubt there’s much more, classic scalps, not worth my time/capital, maybe though a good pattern for you to learn to short.

ABK/RDN also both faded in the afternoon, but of course, they’re finance related…I hate these kinds of real companies cuz they’re news influenced instead of just simple supply/demand caused by stock promoters and con artists…is it too much to ask for some good ole manipulation for us to profit from the legal way (through Short Selling those scams!)

That’s it, not gonna write about all the dozens of other plays with imperfect technical setups/variables…

Id watch apple man its gonna tank
(Shameless plug) I just wrote an article about it http://tfpoi.com/2008/07/09/im-calling-it-the-i...

lmsmith

FRE AND FNM--- I mentioned short since Tuesday- if not on here- in the trading chat room--

LEH- down the drain- shorted this at 27 on June 17th-

PMI- played long in the morning- and shorted in the p.m -- hell of a trade

donnacap

I missed TMS

bestdeception

Jay, that is a pretty shameless plug. Give me your reasons. Your "article" (don't think it can really be called that since there are no facts) doesn't highlight anything that would account for AAPL's demise. Does the fact that the iphone is launching in 22 countries tomorrow, and 70+ by the end of the year factor into your numbers? Give me reasons, not opinions. My opinion is that your blog will get no diggs or hits today, but I have no facts. JMO.

bestdeception

Tim, do you really allow shameless plugs and spammers to post on your comments?? Admins anyone?

Jay Zalowitz

Best deception, I dont want people who have no information already at their fingertips reading my blog, im just informing people that the massive demand that occured with the orginal iphone is showing in physical existance not to be there with the new iphone and that could mean something nasty short term for the stock.

bestdeception

Jay, O2 sold out in less than an hour online. That's huge. I guess we shall see. If only there was a way to make a wager other than by being long or short of AAPL.

Jay Zalowitz

I got one, if im wrong, ill buzz my Jew-FRO on livestock, tommrow, if im right, you do it.

YngvaiMalmsteve

No good plays out there today. This is one of those days to take the day off of trading.

vo

Too bad the iPhone G3 didn't come out when everyone recieved their $600 stimulus checks. Mine is long gong. LOL.

bestdeception

If only I had a fro, but mine's already pretty close, so that wouldn't be fair. We won't know tom. how many phones were sold worldwide. We're gonna have to wait at least a couple weeks, if not until October, but I can assure you it will at least be 500K, closer to 1 mil. Think of the channel fill necessary to stock 22 countries. For reference, AAPL sold 280K last year in 1 country. 500K should be an easy number. Hope you aren't short.

Adam

Tim- im up 22.1% in the past month w/ your methods! that's before todays gains too. and its all on covestor :)

havingsomefun

Hey everyone. For those penny stockers in the group, recall I commented on trends/charts for AKYI yesterday. Was a day early. Was mostly flat yesterday, but now up 20% on the day. Clear blue sky upon a break out of $0.025. Now at $0.22. Company on record stating that significant sales release coming. Interesting technology. Sure, there's hype in these bottom-dwellers, but I see a good chance for a strong run near-term. I welcome any thoughts/comments.

YngvaiMalmsteve

The big problem with AKYI is volume/liquidity. A few million shares traded per day on a 2 cent stock isn't very much. And you can't do a large order with a play like that because you'll have a hard time getting rid of your shares if it doesn't go your way. Sure, you can do a small order, but for me, with Thinkorswim, I'm still paying a pretty hefty commission for 10,000 to 50,000 share buy orders. I'd only pay $9.95 commission if I did a 5,000 share buy order, but that's only $100 for a 2 cent stock. If it goes up 50%, I've made $50. Big deal. That's not worth it to me with a $6000 account.

The risk/reward ratio on that play isn't very good.

blackflaggedbytheSEC

aaahhhh shit- minimum equity call- black flagged by the SEC- this is bullshit. Does anyone know, if I open an account at another brokerage, is this gonna catch up with me? I have been killin' em that last few weeks and the thought of 90 days without day trades is like 90 days of pure torture, especially in a short seller's paradise like this!!!

Pumacom

VVUS breaking out again... could be in for a dollar run

chasdabigone

CALP trying to break 3.40 its on if it does

yaktipper

Covestor miscalculated my return -- should have been +6% yesterday not -10%!!!! I've seen others complaining of calc bugs but I've never seen it that far off before.

What's the best way to get money into your Paypal account -- I need enough for TimAlerts but never transfered any into my own account. Do you have to do it through the credit card you have attached to PP or can you link a bank account to PP.

Ben_Bien

Tim you noted the FRE/FNM falls quite accurately a few posts ago, but who knew they'd continue their fall! Looks like some sort of bottom-less free fall going on with FRE espesssheeally

Ben_Bien

YAKTIPPER what up my Covestor buddyyyy??

Get Shorty..... Reloaded

oh come on gigm !!
would you just fall????

yaktipper

Ben ben ben!

Disciples of Tim are taking over Covestor! I'm envisioning half the top rankings being Sykesian within a year.

brent

yaktipper: you can attach your bank account but that will take time. They validate that way. Or, just attach the CC and that should be easy enough. U should be able to navigate on the site and get all that done.

Get Shorty..... Reloaded

GIGM 5 min bar looks like a downsloping triangle, lower highs, 12.50 and 12.48 base....let it go baby.... let it go...

Oswald2001

For PayPal...do CC first.

They 'migrated' me to my bank account after a few months.

I was not allowed to stay with my CC forever. Only a few months.

I signed up a few years back. Could be different now.

YMMV

JimJones

hey guys this is a tad bit off topic but... i need some advice
im fairly new to investing (been doing it for one year so far) and yesterday my portfolio took a 20% hit because of a dumb play in hygs. now i dont have a lot of money to play with, only 1000 so in order to maximize profits i kind of have to put my eggs in one basket.

But... im writing this to you guys asking for some opinions on what you would do if you only had 800 to play with and how can i recover my 20% lose safely.

i'm a little shook on the market as a whole right now and am having a hard time pulling the trigger on anything. some advice/guidance would be highly appreciated

yaktipper

Thanks brent and Oswald! PP site is hard to navigate for setting those options -- took me 15 minutes just to find the credit card link page where you enter the verifiation code -- thanks for the info.

JimJones, follow Tim and watch what he does. It's safe in the sense that odds are with you, and you will have more winners than losers. Any traditional financial advisor would say it's highly risky, but the people that listen to them have lost more than you.

Oswald2001

JimJones,

IMO,

Sign up for a Think or Swim PAPER MONEY account.

After you can trade successfully for 3-6 months with PAPER MONEY...think about a real money account.

And....CUT YOUR LOSSES QUICKLY.

Glue yourself to the screen to watch your plays.

Establish a mental stop or hard stop and STICK TO IT.

The good new is, losses are part of the learning process.

timothysykes

glad i highlighted this freefall in FRE/FNM, now i just gotta back it up by shorting some shares into that pattern!

awesome adam

yatipper, just add a credit card

yes, we will dominate covestor, there's no single strategy for small accounts that performs better with as little risk than pennystocking

jim, never try to make back losses, u just dig yourself into a deeper hole...wait it out, this is a tough market

brent

tim: still looking for my validation for alerts site.

Tony Ellis

Sold all remaining shares of GETG @4.50. It may go higher but I'm on vacation and can't keep watching.

getshorty

Sing with me..

I don;t wanna wait in wait for your fall...
I Don't wanna wait in vain for your fall... GIGM
I don't wanna, I don;t wanna, I don't wanna wait in vain..

This is taking long to break 12.47.. Considering take half of my gains here

brent

just seems to me that the 'govnm't' can just come in and prop up fre and fnm... just seems a little risky to me.

timothysykes

brent relax, meetings galore, it hasnt even been 24 hours...got lots of subscribers all to activate manually cuz motherfuckers who havent paid are trying to get in, we're validating u now

timothysykes

yeah yeah tony ellis, u closing in on $200k yet?

timothysykes

yeah GIGM is a real company, friggin moves slow as hell, fuck that, find a fraud

brent

thx, tim

Tony Ellis

not yet...I was holding GETG in my IRA. 11,500 to 35,000...300% return in account.

getshorty

love you Tim, there she goes GIGM at 12.40 ... closed for a modest 240 gain. But pretty excited since my small profits get on getting more and more consistent, the time of bringing out the big bucks may be close.

Some Hot Fraud anybody?

Pumacom

Tony, nice work with GETG... I'm still bitter at Scottrade for not filling my order at 3.15... restricted share BS and by the time my order went in we were already at 3.20 and I lost interest

trainerdave

Tim you think your some stock wizard and your just a punk kid that got lucky back in the bull market days then got handed your ass when you tried to dance with big boys. Failed fund=stock teacher sign me up teach me how to lose my money please. Pump and dump stocks are gonna crash and I should short them wow what an idea your a genius. Your just as bad as the trash pump and dumpers you talk shit about.

timothysykes

trainer douche--buddy, i never claimed to be an expert, just ane xperienced PROFITABLE & TRANSPARENT day trader...i agree its sad that i have a business, but its the sad reality that this industry is so full of BS, anybody who's honest and has learned/implemented a few lessons/rules/patterns over the years can really make it big...i encourage others to do the same, put me out of business...until then, i'll keep cutitng through all the BS, wasting time answering assumption-making, fact-lacking haters like yourself.

PS is it luck that i'm up 70% over the past 7 months even while writing/blogging/teaching/speaking/vlogging/publishing/making trading mistakes/detailing everything openly? no, its called experienced trading. suck on it douchebag

timothysykes

PS trainderdave, look at cramer's following, he's right about 50% of the time...i'm about 70%...extrapolate out a few years....cant wait for my thousands of students to continuously prove u wrong...after all, who the fuck cares how i do, as long as my services are valuable to others, i'll do just fine.

lakhanin

"never try to make back losses"

great advice tim!

yaktipper

Getting some popcorn to watch the Tim vs trainerdave show.

trainerdave

Anyone can predict that a pump and dump garbage stock will tank its not rocket science. Garbage company goes up for no reason I can tell ya 100% of the time it will go down. Not only that all your groupies follow your trades you should be up 70%. No one in the whole industry takes you serious and you talk trash about Cramer thats not even arrogance it's stupidity. Please don't even put yourself in same sentence as him. Reality check buddy you sell your book on your own garbage website his is on best seller lists.

timothysykes

LOL trainer dave, if ANYONE could predict these pump and dumps, then why do 90% of traders lose $? tell me why if its sooooo bovious to everyone, why is there demand for my blog/book/dvd/alerts? why oh why would anyone need to see me be right 70% of the time when they could be right 100% of the time? i dont get it myself.

u're right, i shouldnt put myself int he same sentence as cramer, his percentages are waaay lower than mine...gimme a few years, i got 20-30 years of everyone on this industry and i'm just getting started....

PS my book will never be on bestseller lists, its printon-demand aka higher margins, 6000 copies sold, 1,000 more and its a "bestseller" not that it matters, just goes to show how little research u've actually done, aka typical finance freak, aka stop wasting my motherfucken time!

trainerdave

I would love you to talk that kinda trash in person but your one of those little dorky computer tough guys. You don't see me being vulgar and childish oh wait I forgot its little Timmy Sykes the kid that got picked on in school im so sorry Timmy

yaktipper

Covestor support response time is fantastic -- they fixed my numbers within hours.

If you ever have a question just send it through the Contact link and they get back to you very quickly. Blain at Covestor personally followed through -- kudos to Blain.

timothysykes

Td, u really gonna try to pick on a reality tv guy? please i've heard them all, your way out of your league and all youre doing is entertaining my readers on a slow trading day, u rock dude!

yaktipper

Cramer irritates me, saying sell a stock one month and buy the same one next month ON NO NEWS. That's the same kind of flip-flop-call-both-sides-can't-be-wrong advice you can get from a fortune teller. All you get is a sense of amazement that he is always right, and a lighter wallet.

trainerdave

In your mind you really think your some super star or something. What a loser your all washed up trying to hang on to your fifteen minutes you had years ago. Actually you are the entertainment thats how predictable your ego is, it has given many a laugh today we thank you, but gotta get back to work have fun little Timmy Sykes.

chasdabigone

yo dave go start a website maybe people will care at that one

timothysykes

No TD, it's in YOUR ind that i think i'm a superstar...can u not read my blog post title for the quarterly review "i suck"...yes, u should get back to work, hooked on phonics worked for me! i wish u luck, come back when u r literate and we'll have a real convo

Oswald2001

Tim,

Would you p-u-l-l-e-e-z-e FLUSH the sociopaths.

Your track record needs no defense.

Engaging with the trash brings this board down to Yahoo board levels.

Thanks.

HoustonBIZ

Its just laughable to me that these guys come on here and invalidate themselves by their very presence... come on, I mean if Tim wasn't succeeding, they wouldn't waste a minute of their time.
Keep it up!

GETG just dropped .50

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)!
