To My 1500+ Covestor Followers & 500+ TIMalert Subscribers: Let’s Get A Few Things Straight

  Tags:

The past few days I’ve gotten a few emails from TIMalert subscribers (learn more HERE) & Covestor followers (see them HERE) ragging on me for going on a little Japanese vacation and some other stuff which I’ve already posted about. Somewhere along the line the definition of what exactly TIMalerts is got lost so it’s about time I explain it again:

1. TIMalerts is not a financial advisory newsletter, it’s just me talking about MY trades. For entertainment and informational purposes only. Read the whole disclaimer on the bottom of the subscribers-only TIMalerts.com website HERE.

2. I don’t know who you are and I don’t know how you trade–all I can do is show you what works and what doesn’t FOR ME. I’ll make plenty of good calls, but also plenty of mistakes…I’ll continue detailing EVERYTHING for your benefit.

3. Yes, the vast majority of my trades/alerts have worked astonishingly well so far, but don’t expect it to continue unabated. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

4. This isn’t some “magic system”–it’s something I’ve been refining for the past decade and the refinements will continue.

5. Lately my learning other strategies has stopped cuz I’m focusing on making PennyStocking easier to understand and implementable for others, newbies, veterans, whoever. For example, options trading might be a good supplement to it, but I’ve no time to learn a new discipline cuz I’m busy refining my original strategy to take it mainstream.

6. Covestor will eventually allow you autotrade off others trades, but not for me since I’m mainly a short seller. For more on this read my prior post HERE. Long story short, all you 1400 Covestor followers should be TIMalert subscribers if you wanna learn how to profit from my strategy.

7. I will take vacations whenever I choose, I’m the hardest working mofo in this game, so you should be happy when I do this cuz it lowers the risk of a mental breakdown…and you know I’ve planned my entire trip around internet cafes so I’ll stay up to date with potential trades (although responding to emails will be a few weeks more behind)

8. Now that I’m over the $25k mark, I’m not limited by the absurd pattern day trading rule anymore, but I’m not gonna start trading like a madman cuz then my alerts would go out every few minutes and they’d be useless. I’ll do what I’ve always done–focus on the greatest market inefficiencies/pump and dumps and take it one pump at a time. You’ll probly find my timing won’t be as horrible when I’m allowed to enter and exit a positions multiple times in a day, as we should all be free to do.

    Tim,

    I'm glad you took some time off - no matter what anyone says you deserve a break... You're still ok with me, and now that you're refreshed, I expect you to be ruthless and recharged for the remainder of the year...

    Keep up the good work...

    If anyone is looking at LCCI, take the time to look at the time and sales (or a 1 minute chart) cuz the thing only busted in the last minute.
  • Not quite right Tim. We are hoping to support you and we will support shorts. Bests. Perry (@Covestor)
  • perry, thats great news, just gonna be interesting when reserving shares to short on these hard to borrow stocks each morning!
  • Fair point. Yeah I doubt we will be able to support all of the trades you do through your Tim alerts, particularly in some of the more illiquid positions...
  • nice clarification, hey I had question I never asked you Tim: to start and run your hedge fund, did you or did you not need any kind of certification, since you were after all making financial decisions with other people's money. How did that all work? Don't you need an array of certifications such as the various Series ##? I don't remember if you mentioned that in your book.. Let me know, if you've got the time.
  • Reaper
    Tim, take all the vacations you need. Last week, while you were away, was my second-best week trading your system. It would have been my best if there had been a perfect & liquid supernova to short.
  • this post should definitely add some more subscribers to TIM alerts
  • yaktipper
    Perry, thx for the info.
  • no certification to run a hedge fund, just need series 65 once over assets/#of investor barriers
  • younggunz
    uhh, I think there was one timalert trade where the stock was easy borrow. It may not have even been a trade but just a stock listed on the morning watchlist that stood out at the time.
  • younggunz
    I absolutely support tim taking a vacation. he needs to keep a clear head so he can stay focused on good trades.
  • Fxeurvsusd
    Arigatou Tim!!
  • Geez Thanks for clearing up the obvious. One of my friends was complaining about your vacation and I told him. "Would you rather he go crazy and start spitting out horrible trades?"

    Thanks Tim. As any trader knows take all tips with a grain of salt, do your own due dilligence, and monitor your trade's success/failure.

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)!
