How Often Should You Be Thinking About The Stock Market?

A few days ago, I saw this on a Tweet from Brian Shannon (you should follow me on twitter HERE) and since I’m currently in Aspen, it made me want to press home the point below:

I don’t even ski, but the beautiful mountainous background definitely helps me not think about the market (which is good because a.) you need to have a life and b.) experience has taught me that by not focusing on the market every day and having the patience to wait for those truly great trade setups.

I always have the market on my mind, but when there aren’t any Supernovas (as detailed HERE), I’m just not that interested in all the noise….guessing games, scalping, breaking news is all irrelevant to the richest and happiest market players out there…stop watching/reading entertaining/interesting but overall useless and, more importantly, potentially dangerous shit like CNBC/Bloomberg, WSJ.

I know the vast majority of you are years, if not decades, away from appreciating this strange but ridiculously true concept, but I gotta try!

Hello, Tim! I'm from Russia, wanna show u the statement of ma trade, and talk about yours&my short trade. What u think?

When you asked to be put in touch with people for your trip to Japan, I made the mistake of taking you at face value. I actually contacted someone I knew in Japan to see if they could help you. I realized later that your request wasn't sincere. The point of your post was to brag about how much money you were spending on your lavish Japan trip. This is one of those same type of posts. It has no inherent value other than to let people know that you are taking their money, and spending it on your own personal pleasure. I wonder why people still want to give you money but that is their own business.

Tim you gotta admit... this picture did NOT help your case out as far as separating you from the "market"...

just look at the moutain peaks...

it appears as if someone tried to draw 20, 50, and 200 day moving averages on them... this is a stock chart in disguise and you know it!

Timothy Sykes

i know, thats the point, i dont use moving averages, i have no true supernova pump and dumps so i havent played lesser patterns

You know TIm I'm certain you're full of shit. Which hotel are you staying at in Aspen?

Tim, please disregard my last. Let's make some money off of this hubris. Deep inside most traders are egotistical a@@holes. How about pitching a show to CNBC where we trade in real-time, kind of like poker, and our trades are known only to the viewers at home. Of course this should be taped to sidestep the whole market manipulation thing. We trade with a fictional $10 mill but we have to put-up $10K to join the game, it's winner take all, single elimination. You have to trade the market in front of you. No methods, no CDs, no systems, just raw trading talent. Great idea, yes? Pitch it. It's got to be better than that Iron Chef crap.

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)!
