What To Do If The Terrorist SEC Cell Bans Short Selling Altogether?

Sure, it could easily happen–when you have gross misunderstanding of how an industry works, easy irrelevant scapegoats and you give this kind of influence to such ignorance/incompetence, anything’s possible. Hell, Australia just banned it so why not the US. Throw another short on the barbie!

Got this email and I know it’s on a lot of people’s minds:

Tim:

What are your thoughts about the governments announcement regarding the possibility of disallowing short-selling?

Simple…I adapt.

Blogging, whining, debating, none of that shit matters when you’re dealing with a terrorist organization like the SEC. Especially one backed by the government. Or with any terrorist organization for that matter. All you can do is adapt.

And adapt I will.

Whether it’s buying crappy stocks breaking out to new highs based on momentum (watching ZYXI although it’s got far to go) or existing shorts getting a lesson in just how dangerous it is to go against a terrorist organization with legal authority (AIG shorts), no checks and balances and unlimited power, as long as the SEC doesn’t outlaw market volatility, I’ll be fine.

As I posted HERE, perhaps I’ll be better than fine…an all-pout ban would make for some outrageous penny stock volatility.

Without short sellers, manipulation is gonna get wilder than anyone has ever seen, so pray with me and hope the SEC is that stupid.

I’m actually glad this socialist options is in play now cuz I’m working on my brand-new ShortStocking instructional DVD (which is available for pre-order HERE) so there’ll be an entire section on how to play perfect Short Selling setups from the long side too.

    Don't you think that after Goldman and Morgan become banks there will be less opportunity in stocks? It might play down the SEC but I'm not looking forward to making less money.
  • less opportunity in real stocks, sure, but penny stocks should thrive

    Direhack: You should have realized now that whatever financial news comes out, temporarily ban on short selling, the massive losses last weak, the massive gains on Friday, the 700billion bailout, the idea of a permanent ban on shorts, etc etc etc, that Tim will put a positive spin on EVERYTHING, about how he is adapting and how this news will be "some of the best news ever" in terms of profitability for himself. Don't you realize it's really just a marketing ploy at this point? How often do you come to this site and read, "the latest news is terrible for my trading strategy and the outlook for pennystocks?" I'll make it real easy for you, never. For if he started to report stuff like that, he'd be looking for lawns to mow.

    I somewhat agree with Tim, Goldman and Morgan were centered on real stocks, but I think it will decrease the overall market growth (including penny stocks) nonetheless.
  • haha positive spin?!?!? i'm mr. negative spin...i've gone through down times like this, i know more than u think about what to expect
  • awww yeah latest TIMalert down 20% since my short

    The thought of the SEC going in all the way and banning short selling on ALL stocks terrifies me.
    And what's with the reports on crude jumping to 130??? I checked several sites including TOS charts, and the top today was barely 111.

    and the four horsemen of Oil manipulation (MXC, FPP, ROYL, PDO) have been skyrocketing on good volume now too. Its looks like its May action all over again.
  • It happened yesterday in Australia. The market opened late and then when had the largest two day rally since 1987. It will be reviewed in 30 days time. I think that it will occur in the US.

    I have both read Tim's book and watched his DVD's and rest assured Tim will adapt. I think that is what makes a difference between a good trader and a great trader. I think these market conditions create some excellent opportunities for people who are prepared to do a little bit of work in understanding the possible ramifications of increased regulations.

    Seriously Tim, why did you write this? NO WAY IN HELL short selling would EVER be banned here. This isnt Australia. Its been around as long as the markets and you of all people know that a large part of Wall St. is dedicated to Short selling. Over 1.5 TRILLION in Hedge funds tell me NO WAY.

    I know you know better. Even in college you didnt buy those two "experts" saying its a new world and the dow is actually worth 36000 in 1999 and many fell for it:-) Your smarter than to post this trash.

    This all is SO predictable. Throughout the span of the markets you always get people flipping out saying "the sky is falling", "we never will recover" , "This is the worst one" etc. Dumb.

    We will be fine! The key, as Warren Buffet said, is to NOT follow the crowd. When everyone is buying, Sell...everyone Selling, well its a great time to find deals.

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)!
