This one was on my morning watchlist that I sent out to TIMalert subscribers premarket (so they can prepare for any potential trades), had a beautiful morning fakeout drop yesterday to suck in some early shorts, people who are too cheap to purchase my new DVDs that warn against such morning drops who learned stock market losses/dumb trading mistakes cost waaay more than the $297-397 price of my new DVDs….let’s just get to the alerts I sent out themselves:
Shorted 2000 PERY at $5 yesterday afternoon:
just as i said i might in my morning watchlist, i shorted PERY at $5…not ideal since its still up on the day, but methinks this is just a short squeeze from over-eager shorters early this morning…stock is pretty much where it was before they reported horrible earnings last thursday…waaaay in debt, probly going under/restructuring…thats why the PE is 3…my goal is to cover just above this morning’s low of $4.31…i’ll cover quickly if the stock starts spiking/market starts up as it has been known to do lately.
PS text messaging coming soon still, don’t bother emailing me, i’m already gonna go apesh%t on the people who were supposed to having it run smoothly by now
Covered at $4.68 this morning:
covered 2000 PERY at $4.468ish, didn’t like the market’s overall strength
today, how Saks 5th avenue reported horrible earnings and didn’t take much
and the buyers int he $4.60 area…not a bad $700ish profit, perfect plays
if i do say so
As it turned out, the market did spike, as did PERY, but Saks had a horrific conference call at 10am and dropped a cool 25%, helping PERY slide gradually lower too, which was helped even more by this pathetic overall market.
Here’s the charts, people who watch PennyStocking Part Deux in particular will recognize these patterns clear as day:
PERY did in fact drop down to my initial alert target of just above $4.30, so I made 30ish cents/share and left another 30ish cents/share on the table. Welcome to my life…some TIMalert subscribers have gotten used to my premature exits, but many bank just the same:
Made $440 on tiny position…Total TimProfit since June: $48,223

Shorted at 4.85, made 50 bucks kinda bummed about leaving another $200 on the table. that damn spike that hit in the morning pushed be out at 4.73. I went to breakfast after that and came back to find out it went all the way to 5.04 where I could have tried getting back in again. Don’t know if I would have done it in the moment but will mark it down in my experience lesson book :)
Hey Tim,
I am a Timalerts subscriber and just ordered your Penny Stocking Part Deux DVD. When can I expect to receive it? I know you were still working on it on Friday, so I guess it may take a week or so. Any idea? Also, got the SMS text today but could not reply. It said it did not understand what I was trying to do, or something like that. That’s just a heads up. Anyways, looking forward to the DVD.
quick question
if i open an IB cash account its not going to let me short right? cause in all my other accounts i need margin to short
margin = 21
me = 20 till may
lame trade
John, you need a margin account with IB to short sell…Cash account with IB will not let you short sell.
So i am guess under 21 you can’t have margin. You may be able to get a custodial account but I think that would mean your parents would have to be willing to pay off your debts if you short something and it skyrockets farther tehn you can cover.
trading is lame, its a business, just take it one high percentage setup at a time
PennyStocking/shortstocking dvds will be shipped next week

Hey Tim, I was wondering if you also buy stocks for profit (not shorting)? or do you primarily short only?
Thank you!
yes he buys buys about 1 out of 4 trades or so.
