This was sent to TIMalert subscribers around midnight today…yup, my peeps were prepared:

Last week was pretty boring in terms of big runups to buy and short sell
into, but this week is gonna get off to a rocking start with the late
Friday news
that Obama will allow stem cell research this week

STEM surged from $1.40 to $2.30 late Friday on over a million shares traded,
a gain of 67%…not sure how far these things can go, might actually be
multi-day runners, I’ll say stem cell stocks are either potential buys or
short sells, depending on the price action.

GERN rose 40% afterhours Friday from $3.90 to $5.40…again, potential buy or
short

ASTM is the last stem cell stock I’m watching, up from 30 cents to 60 cents
afterhours Friday…these guys could really run on this news, or they could
literally just be a quick spike and fade…we’ll see

PXCE has now tripled from $3 to $9 since the beginning of February, it’s a
typically sketchy OTCBB play, wish it were more liquid as this is no
different than PROT…potential short

WMG is unfortunately a real company, no hype or manipulation here, sadly,
but it just had its first up day off its $1.50ish lows…only a 25% move so
far, potential short if it can run a bit more more first so as to give us
some solid

GOE was the stock I featured on my blog over the weekend due to its
amazing chart…i$10 to $90 since mid-February…it’s a definite potential
short, try to reserve shares each and every day, but I’d love further
strength before I actually short as we need to remember how illiquid this
stock is and how margin calls work. It might sound crazy, but it was a great
breakout buy just above $50.

CHTL is another sketchy OTCBB stock on its first big up day—50 cents to 80
cents/share, potential short into further strength.

ANN reported nasty earnings Friday morning and broke below 4.5 months of
sideways price action, dropping 40%…support used to be the mid-$4s, but
now here in the mid-$3s, I’m not sure how great a short it is, not really as
indebted/failing as MIC, which had a similar earnings breakdown.

FLWS is a classic failing company, look at its longterm chart…now its risen
from 85 cents to $1.40 in 4 days, just dip buying

    Tim,

    I saw you in Wall street warriors and a couple youtube videos and thought you were great! I appreciate the gumption and cut through the bull approach. Do you know if they are planning on doing any follow ups on the wall street warriors they featured along with you in the first season and what happened to everyone since? It would be great to see how everyone is doing and some kind of summary or follow up as the last year has been interesting to say the leat. I watched the first two seasons and I read online that they had filmed a third but that the network is down so this is unreleased. Do you know if this will be available online or on DVD? for the updates, you could probably interview some of these people yourself if they needed a host - or do a summary/host follow up show as on other reality shows.

    Also, I think your ideas about shorting are very a propos currently - do you have any thoughts on the Direxion 3x (triple levered etfs and day trading these as shorts and how would these compare to your microcaps?

    Finally (I know lots of questions), where would someone start with your DVD's - you seem to have so many up or with your book - American Hedge Fund. I've got a day job so I guess I would be one of those 9-5 working stiffs your talking about in the previous entries with the limited capital that could possibly benefit but alsot time constraints of a real day job!
