Still Think The Stock Market Is Random?

Yesterday I featured over a dozen stocks that were potential shorts–TIMalert subscribers got it premarket at 8am, as they do every day–mainly because they were classic Friday afternoon short squeezes as I detail in my PennyStocking Part Deux & Shortstocking instructional DVDs, duhhhhhhhhh).

I ended up shorting HSNI–which I listed as my top potential short so it shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone!–and unfortunately, it was the only one of the 13 to be up on the day…not a big deal, I covered for small gains of $120 (it didn’t matter if I had a gain or loss, I went in, as I always do, with a goal of making 5-10%, so anything less, if the pattern doesn’t play out to my liking, I just get out ASAP–again, that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone by now…

But other than that, 12 dropped nicely, many more than 10% on the day….contrary to clueless value investors and waaaay too many market commentators, the market isn’t random nor is trading/investing based on earnings the highest percentage path to profits.

Shorting crap companies that have spiked due to hype/manipulation and market mechanisms isn’t exactly rocket science, look at the charts below, get my instructional DVDs (to better understand the risks/obstacles/pattern variations) already and learn to profit from these simple simple setups that happen again and again and again and again:

    Hi Tim,

    Thanks very much for your informative blogs. Do your DVD's regarding shorting stocks, actually explain how you go about sourcing available stock that you would like to short?

    Cheers mate.
  • younggunz
    damn, anyone catch AHC's perfect afternoon fade?
  • Catch any of that crazy action in AVII post-market today Tim?
  • no i havent slept in 35 hours or so, not feeling like doing any trading
  • ha who said i'm in the financial business and who said i understand math? u need to remember, i aint that smart, when is said penny stocks aint random, i mean people think they move randomly, which they obviously dont...bring it bitch, i'm a solid gambler and have faced idiots a million times worse than u
  • random movements as i, and the rest of the dumb people out there, see it as meanging stocks's movements arent predictable...the charts above and the charts in my DVD tell a different story...problem is most people try to guess with big complex macro/multi-product companies, penny stocks break that all down, as most are frauds/manipulated higher...so much easier, in time others will see that too, for now let them be annoyed, i could care less, in fact i kinda enjoy watching all these finance freaks squirm
  • MTXR
    GREAT POST!!
  • nojobmaui
    Longed CPY eod for a .30 gain per share and long ANPI from .24 to .35
  • Maybe the recent run in Penny stocks can be attributed to the record number of new accounts at Etrade, Schwab, and trade king (article from Blain at Stock Trading to Go). Its the holidays and since a lot of people thought this was the bottom they tried taking a stab on the long side of cheap stocks.

    As for the market makers:

    The decline in the indexes in the past few days may be attributed to the market makers selling off their risky longs before they go on vacation. And since there are no market makers manipulating the penny stocks, the new traders are running them up.

    Once the new year rolls around all these penny stocks are fucked because the manipulators return. They will short everything in sight and we break the lows of December because, as Tim pointed out in a previous post, we just finished a Massive double top and trust is lost in the markets. Use Tim's method of trading and you make a lot of money early next year.
  • Or the market makers run up the markets for an Obama rally then short the shit out of the market. Either way Tim wins.
  • your comments are just boring now, write soemthing better and i'll care
  • Ali STFU!
    Hey Ali,

    No one said Tim created the process of shorting...his method that he talks about is what he looks at to short pennystocks or buy pennystocks in some cases. I like how you're trying to bash on someone up 250% for the year. Move on...

    By the way...this isnt me trying to kiss tim's ass...this is me responding in amazement to how much of a dumbass your are. Good day, sir.
  • Ali stop trolling. I knew shorting has been around forever but did you know about or use it before you came to this site? Or are you a boglehead and down 30%?
  • Ali STFU
    You deal with GOOG, ORCL, etc....we deal with penny stocks. Move the fu** on.

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)!
