How You Can Profit Like The Masters Of Short Selling

Just kidding, 99.9999999% of you cannot. Because the guys Businessweek just featured HERE have banked thanks to the work of their teams of ANALysts who dug through all kinds of filings to find some business glitches (don’t even bother, too many others doing that and they’re a lot smarter than you), hugely leveraged positions (don’t even think about it…while it worked for Soros, it killed Livermore…you are neither) and those that don’t take hugely leveraged short-term bets are all making longer-term bets (even if you’re right, you don’t have the capital to last that long as yearly margin interest is a bitch!)

Understand when I say this, some of you might be able to profit like these guys, but just as when I say all penny stocks are frauds/schemes/incompetents, I’m talking about playing and writing about this game by the odds…stuff on which I’m right 9 times out of 10 or 950/1000…aka who knows exactly, but the odds are greatly in my favor. Because trading is hard enough, so why try to make it any harder?

The good news is that strategies like Pennystocking can be used to make you a lot of money on small sums of capital, without you having a team of researchers, without the use of leverage and it can be as short term as your impatience makes it out to be (although ideal trades can be held for days and weeks). After all, its gift and its curse is that its ideal for smaller investors and traders, irrelevant to anybody with more than a few million bucks.

So, use your small size to your advantage. Businessweek will probly never proclaim me to be a master short seller–I’ll never make enough $ to qualify–but they might just proclaim me a master short seller teacher, which will not only make me wealthy, it’s also waaaaay more fulfilling!

    It's all about the management of expectations - Tim you said it best "you're not going to make millions of dollars investing in penny stocks, but you may make hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, IE Grad Student Tony Ellis and Mike the Machinist. Risk versus reward, I'm very happy that I've found your site, which caters to the smaller investor - and helps many understand the game better...

    Dammit Scottrade has a gay rule that don't let you short stocks
    <$5. I'm thinking about switching to Fidelity (their OCO - "one cancel other" sounds awesome). Which brokerage do you use to short penny stocks Tim?

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)!
