Did One Of My Students Take His Own Life?

Nasty little message board post going around and instead of suing the bastard, I blog about it (as it’ll probly get taken down on the original site) to show you what sick degenerates traders are:

Posted HERE on TheLion.com:

Trader takes his own life…(Article)

Reuters- A recent laid off stock broker took his life on what was suggested a series of desperate trades that wiped out his account. 24 year old Matt McCay reported dead yesterday at 2 a.m. from self inflicted gunshot wounds.

Police had noted that McCay’s apartment was filled with stock information and printouts from a website by trader and wall street personality Timothy Skyes whom McCay was said to emulate in mannerisms and trading behavior. McCay’s apartment was described as upturned, in chaos and smelling of urine.

McCay was also recently laid off from A.G. Edwards in Muskgogee, OK and according to some he put it all on the line with his last several trades with one of them being FAZ.

FAZ a triple leveraged financial ETF and it’s counterpart FAS follow indexed financial stocks and respond violently both positively and negatively in price, sometimes up to 25% in one day.

Mr McCay, was last encountered by family members whom he shared his massive loss story with. Matt’s Sister Sharon explained that he was ‘going short’ and that he ‘entered a position of FAZ’ in the mid 30s and was sitting at $9 a share the night he took his life.

“He was walking around ‘punch drunk’”, said his sister.

Another family member put it. “Matt would say something, and then a second later say the very same thing…then wander off for a drink”.

Mr. McCay’s total loss was not disclosed, but the family said it was between $1000 and $2500 all of which was loaned to him from his grandmother’s trust fund that he was going to get full control of by age 32.

Matt is survived by hi sister’s Sharon and Camy, and his parents Dan and Cinda.

At first, I thought “Oh jesus”, but after I did a Google search and thought about it rationally, I looked at the “author’s” other message board posts and found this post:

Re: Trader takes his own life…(Article)… LMAO Yes it’s bullshit. :D

Later he says:

Relax..it’s just a joke. Seeing if the board is alive. ;)…i made it up.

Sick, sick, sick…and more importantly, inaccurate as:

1. I NEVER trade FAZ/FAS, those who do deserve to lose all their money

2. As I preach time and again to my instructional DVD students, I cut losses quickly, or I at least try to. Those who don’t, again, deserve to lose.

3. Funny this guy makes fun of me for drinking, I can’t handle my liquor for shit anymore, no time to drink, no time to have hangovers, building a publishing empire based on good solid information…no way to cut corners and if I did cut corners, I’d deserve to lose all my readers (many finance “gurus” have ghost writers…I’ll never do that as I don’t trust interns/anybody else with any market commentary/trading information, this isn’t CNBC, I may be entertaining, but my content–esepcially TIMalerts real-time trade alerts…and this week only special offer) is actually useful!)

That is a pretty ridiculous "article", in addition to being poorly written. Even though I understand what the guy wants to say, it really looks like he went short FAZ mid-30s, then was upset when it dropped to 9ish. Hmmm...

In real life, I made a nice $104 shorting OMX today, I haven't had time to do my own research recently, so just your watch list in the subscriber e-mail is great. (to be honest the TimAlerts don't usually help me much since by the time I get the SMS the price has usually dropped a lot or TOS has no shares). So thanks for the watchlist, very helpful!

HopeSolo

This crap is poorly written. No family member mourning the loss of a family member would say, "he repeats things and then wanders off for a drink." WTF, Reuters - Yeah ok, they forgot to even put a space between Reuters and the hyphen, what a clown.

Mike

The kicker here is that he killed himself over $1000 -$2500 - after seeing that it was an obvious fraud. losing a grand is no reason to kill yourself no matter how poor you are.

"Mr. McCay’s total loss was not disclosed, but the family said it was between $1000 and $2500 all of which was loaned to him"

HopeSolo

Please sue this joker.

peter

Tim,

I subscribe to your alerts, and i've made an ok amount of $$ from it..until the other day. You listed DNDN as your #1 short play. Well i shorted alot of it, and lost EVERYTHING.

Then I see you have the nerve to gloss over your horrid call like it was nohting. You owe me that money I lost and i'm looking into suing you right now.

otss

Will you teach me how to trade?

No, I am not a registered financial advisor and everything I say is for entertainment purposes only. Do not make any investments based on what you read on this website or anything that comes out of my mouth because I will not be held liable for your losses, screw ups, and mistakes because you will endure them if you are serious about learning to trade.

LP

I was wondering if anyone got burned by Tim's #1 short pick DNDN. Now I wonder if you are for real Peter.
Tim should admit that was the worst call he has made since he has had this site.

LP

Event Driven Biotech trading is dangerous. If you want to play them use backspreads only.

peter

Yes, i'm very real. And i'm PISSED OFF !

I'm really pissed that tim pretends like it didn't happen.

His #1 short play, and it went against me over 12 points> I'm pissed as all hell, i've lost everything and i'm going to sue.

matty84

Peter, I'm so sorry to hear about what happened with DNDN, I can't even imagine what something like that would be like.

I have to say though, although I've never been crazy about how subscribers are sometimes easily blown off, I would have a hard time pinning the blame on Tim if I lost so much money in a similar way. I had to go back and take a look at the quote, but in the same post as the #1 short thing he said:

"it could really crack quick, possibly too quick for any alerts, hopefully an afternoon fade not a morning panic. Be careful of upcoming FDA news though…"

He made it sound like a quick scalp short that we'd have to watch for since it might just fall before any alert, and then immediately cautioned of the news coming up. This was on Friday, by the way, and it gapped about a buck from 6 to 7 on Monday. In other words, I feel really awful for what happened to you, I have not always been crazy about Tim's treatment of subscribers in the past, but in this case there were plenty of warning signs, especially a spike from 6 to 7 one day before an FDA announcement. Shorting biotech near an FDA results announcement is really playing with fire. I don't think the blame can be put on Tim, regardless of any behavior that appears to you objectionable as far as his character is concerned.

otss

The blame should always be on yourself, full responsibility. If not, you're just probably another average joe who believes he is the result of his surroundings and how he was brought up.

DNDN was a scary stock since it never charted out to anything nice. Even if, that would have been scary if it was pushed back down and then gaped up to 20 something the next morning.

The move was definitely questionable though, there were obviously some people ahead of the game when it gaped up on Monday. People took their profits QUICK.

otss

Jenny- he tries not to trade real companies if possible, but it WILL happen here or there.

Not going to lie though, the DNDN move made me a bit more alert.

Timothy Sykes

Peter i have #1,2,3 potential shorts and buys every day, but i dont short unless the pattern fades....it's YOUR fault if u don't do the research and you don't follow the patterns I've detailed in over 30 HOURS of instructional DVDs...I would NEVER short a strong pattern like that, now u must suffer the consequences of your lack of research, sorry man

Timothy Sykes

PS Peter, if u want me to reply to u, don't use a different email each time...aka typical hater (and i must press home the fact that the morning watchlist said i was considering a short if, and only if, it cracked $6.20 TO THE DOWNSIDE...considering the stock's low for the day was $7, U are at fault for not reading/learning my strategy

and of course everything i do is for entertainment purposes only, just read the disclaimer at the bottom of every webpage!

White Africa

It's not funny about a guy commiting suicide, but it is funny how they had to mention you. hahahaha, it's like the people suing McDonalds. Tim, i would frame this article to laugh at the author everyday.

-B.S.

HopeSolo

I really have a hard time believing Peter. Peter how much money did you lose? And why the hell did you cover, surely it was bound to come back down eventually, should have just held on to it and it would have fallen in time. So all in all, you've made two mistakes? Sue??? LOL... there's disclaimers everywhere bud, ever here the motto, "don't invest more than you can afford to lose?" Well, when you short, that motto goes out the window, you should have known better, have fun wasting even more money on a lawsuit which will get thrown out immediately. Good luck!

peter

Tim--I use a different email b/c I DON'T WANT YOU TO SPAM ME.

But that's NOT the point. DNDN IS THE POINT. You said DNDN was #1 short, and I shorted alot..and lost alot b/c of you. I'm speaking to a lawyer and you will be sued.

Timothy Sykes

Peter, aka dumb hater, i said #1 potential short, if it cracked $.20...i short into intraday weakness...anybody following me for more than a day knows this...u ignore the rules, u get burned. blame yourself and think about not ignoring my rules next time

Timothy Sykes

PS peter email your email, i dont even believe u're my subscriber, nobody can be that dumb to go directly against my main pattern

Timothy Sykes

chicccccccccccken! (and a liar) (and an undisciplined trader) (typical)

MikeNYC

Timothy Cum to bed sweety - we have to be fresh tomorrow to make more money selling people crappy dvds about day trading patterns that people think they will get rich off of. Haha idiots paying for my pedicure tomorrow and my day at the salon.

mr_piehole

Peter, I once owned a lot of a biotech that alphatrends recommended. He sold, I didn't, I lost 3 grand which was a big deal to me a the time. I wrote him and told him about my stupid mistake. You learned valuable lessons - Don't risk it all, don't hold biotechs overnight, don't transfer blame. You can make it back, just go slow and do it a little at a time. BTW, you have NO case.

expert_lawyer

Tim, you're lucky, either peter is lying or he has no money left to sue you with

Mike

Peter - sorry but you're making a fool of yourself, lol WOW if you are real, all I can do is laugh. You bet "everything" on one trade? That alone makes you deserve to lose that money lol. Plus, just b/c Tim's potential play wasn't right, and you fuck up, while you acknowledge and accept the terms of use that are so damn common with almost every subscription, service, etc. these days, doesn't mean you can sue. You are a joke.

Tim, don't waste your time lol

Peter

Blame it on Sykes all you want, it's your fault for taking that gamble.

btw your name isnt Peter thats my name

Peter

Ya and yoyu have no case you might as well feed your lawyer more money..see peopel who deserve to lose money do it naturally, lol. take the money that u gona give to ur greedy lawyer, and use it to buy Tim's DVD and making money with...

all your fault dumbo

Carlos Delgado

Peter: How much did you lose? 20k?

Frank

Ok guy's,

I'm the author of that totally bogus article. It was fun giving the board a little jolt but I quickly jumped in to tell them it was a joke. Moderator's were not happy though. I got the smack down. Everyone on our board is fairly tightly wound, so it was in poor taste.

In order of appearance in my totally made up article.

Matt McCay: is Matthew McConaughey

Tim Sykes: He is a real personality and is a good trading strategist.

Muskogee, Oklahoma: from that old country song 'Okie from Muskogee' by Merle Haggard.

FAZ: A 3x leveraged ETF that has single-handedly destroyed trading accounts around the world.

Punch Drunk: Adam Sandler reference to one of his recent movies Punch Drunk Love.

Sharon: Sharon is Randy's wife in Southpark

The loss of $1000 to $2500 had to be small enough to trigger a WTF in someone's mind.

Camy is a girl i wanted to bang in high school who had blond hair and the biggest rack I had ever seen.

Dan and Cinda are my son's god parents.

Tim - hope you enjoyed my bit of deviant behavior. :)

Keep up the good work.

Frank

Dan

Awww peter is butt hurt because he doesn't listen very well...if you notice his #1 short play, it also came with the warning "beware of upcoming news"

You are pathetic.

Go cry somewhere else

Peter

Carlos, I lost MORE than i've made following timalerts now.

What's WORSE, is how tim would always take credit for any "potential short play" that went his way, but says he's totally not responsible for this DNDN,

Anyway, as a subscriber, i've printed ALL relevant materials and my lawyer says I have a very strong case. So all you tim lap dogs can put a cork in it. It's in the lawyers hands now.

The lawyer says that my best evidence is the repeated credit tim has taken when these #1 short plays goes his way, and the ugly way he INSULTS me AS A SUBSCRIBER NO LESS, when I complain that DNDN got me killed.

Timothy Sykes

Peter, i take credit for shorts on my watchlist when the price action becomes worthy of shorting...DNDN followed the exact opposite pattern of what i look for to short...you're damn right i'm gonna insult u, u dont leave me a real email, u're probly not a subscriber and u go against everything i've ever teached...u are a liar, an idiot and u change hater names from phil/peter but forget your ip addresss is the same, stop wasting everyone's time and go pop your zits kid

Timothy Sykes

and bring on your lawyer, i'll make him watch my 30 hours worth of DVDs so u can see how u completely ignored my patterns...and then u'll also get billed 30 hours by lawyer, ignorance isnt bliss buddy and lying on internet message boards make u just one of the thousands of losers in this industry

Peter

My name is Peter. I am a subscriber. Of course, you have to pretend that I change names etc etc to take attention away from DNDN.

My lawyer works on a percentage, I have no $$ to pay him. I AM A SUBSCRIBER, but am cancelling my service (that's how you'll know who I am, provided DNDN doesn't cause an outpouring of cancelations.

You should be appalled at your behavior. I was a subscriber and trying to learn. This is how you treat mistakes? By attacking the person dumb enough to try to learn from you?? PATHETIC.

Timothy Sykes

Peter, when u ignore the very basic patterns i teach and then expect to still make similar profits as me, u are not trying to learn. when u put in fake names and fake emails, u are not trying to converse. u are showing yourself to be the ignorant hater u are. take a good look in the mirror, u are not living a good life, u're a waste of space, good bye

Timothy Sykes

and no peter, i'm not trying to take away from DNDN, if u knew my strategy AT ALL, u'd know potential shorts can easily go to potential buys if there are short squeezes...the only mistake i made was not buying it, the mistake u made was ignoring learning what i teach and assuming u could bet big without understanding anything (kinda like someone performing brain surgery with out training)

Oh yeah, all my stuff has disclaimers, this is not financial advice, i am entertainment purposes only and your ignorant, whiny comments are entertaining, now go run along u little bitch

Peter

ATTENTION ANYONE READING THIS:

Tim is LYING, my name is PETER. I'm not going to be stupid and give out my email, just look at all the venom he already has sent my way w/o knowing my email. Tim i sscary. Tim is again lying as my name is PETER and I HAVEN'T changed names. He is TRYING to distract from his horrid #1 short play DNDN, which went from $7 to $20 overnight.

I have proof your # short play was DNDN. I have proof how you take crdit all the time for other #1 short plays that go in your favor. I'm not calling you names like snake oil, liar, jerk. So stop calling me names and be honest with yourself about how bad DNDN was.

Michael Goode

Haha Peter! Even if you make a completely dumb trade the simplest and most commonly written comment Tim writes is "Cut your losses." If you had done that you would've had a small not catastrophic loss.

Of course, I don't think you're for real either.

Michael Goode

"DNDN is my #1 potential short, its been fading perfectly for days, but support is $6.20 so at $6.20, it could really crack quick, possibly too quick for any alerts, hopefully an afternoon fade not a morning panic. Be careful of upcoming FDA news though…"

And what part of that makes yoiu want to short big when DNDN gapped up big that day (4/13)?

Timothy Sykes

Peter, keep it up, i said its my #1 potential short, the stock acted strong (which i never short into) and i said be careful of FDA news...take your anger out on yourself, its YOUR fault u didnt do the research, u didnt read it correctly, u are whats wrong with america, u should go work at GM (or maybe u already do)

Timothy Sykes

Goode, u're trying to reason with an idiot, let the guy be

Michael Goode

Come on Tim, you don't wanna play tag-team with me? I'm bored with the market today ...

Peter

You never short into strength? That's funny. I have at least 12 statements from you saying 1) you don't care about the uptick rule b/c u always short into a rising stock, and many other statements to the contrary.

Goode, I am real, and how am I suppose to cut my losse swhen a stock closes at $7 and then opens at $20 ?? You must be Sykes.

And as far as "it's my #1 short play but careful of news", that's like a tout service that tells you to bet 1 team, and then has another service telling you to bet the other team. One of them will be right and then you say"look, I got it right". Thats the analogy my lawyer gave me when he read the transcript.

Tim, I don't think your worth much, but u will be sued.

Timothy Sykes

Peter, i short into intraday fades or quick spikes, not steady strong stocks, r u really that dense? have u not read my 1500 blog posts or watched my 30 hours of instructional DVDs? no u are a lazy ignorant slob who deserves to lose all their money and more because u havent done the research

Timothy Sykes

PS my watchlist is for myself, a daily cheat sheet if u will...u're paying for access to my cheat sheet, i have no idea how u will use it or not use it, but when u make assumptions and risk $ off those assumptions, its YOUR fault, not mine, bring on the lawsuit bitch, i'm seriously gonna make your lawyer watch 30 hours of instructional DVDs and read through all my blog posts--lets say 200-300 hours worth of reading and u'll see I've NEBER shorts a stock thats consolidated for several days and then broken out one day higher...i'd only have shorted it if it cracked $6.20, which it didnt even come close to on the 13th...u make it tough for me to respect humanity when your the kind of waste we sometimes produce

Timothy Sykes

oh man, please sue an entertainment service when i'm dead on, i couldnt ask for better press and i will take pride in destroying u while proving u have an IQ less than forrest gump

Michael Goode

Okay, Peter. BTW I am most definitely not Tim ... I am more handsome and more mature (as well as about five months older). Before you sue Tim, have your lawyer take a look at Lowe v. SEC, a Supreme Court case from 1985. You will lose.

http://supreme.justia.com/us/472/181/

younggunz

If you're going to sue Tim you may as well add CNBC while you're at it...If Tim happened to lose that would open the doors for CNBC to be responsible for anything they say even though they have a disclaimer as well.

You realize when you want to sue someone for something like this and it has potential effects on another entity with deep pockets that they tend to get involved as well.

Peter

younggunz, why would I sue CNBC? They didn't take my $$ under the guise of "timalerts", they didn't list DNDN as the #1 short play.

And thank you to Penny for showing me others are unhappy w DNDN and tims disgraceful reaction.

Penny said, "Tim,

If you are all about transparency, then why did you delete my post yesterday re: DNDN. Did I touch on something that would help Peter in his lawsuit against you? Remember, I said last week that DNDN was a real stock and that you shouldn’t short it based on your own rules - and it was YOU that blew off that rule? You are a fake TIM. Claiming that this is an entertainment site and then running around the world spending money that people pay for a trading service - pathetic. A fake. You made false claims about DNDN last week when you shorted it and blew me off when I challanged your logic in doing so - A Fake. You run around the world spending money that people give you for a “entertainment” service under the cover of disclaimers - A Fake. I believe nothing you say and hope you lose all of the money you have made in this “entertainment” service - a fake."

younggunz

You may as well sue them too...What you're arguing that Tim did CNBC does on a daily basis.

So he said that DND was his #1 short....Looking at the pattern that night it was a very promising setup for a breakdown. The breakdown didn't happen. He was pretty specific about it having a possible breakdown if it broke support at $6.20. It was pretty straight forward when I read it that $6.20 is a key price point. The stock instead gapped up and came no where near the $6.20 support level. He also warned that news was coming. So why would anyone short something overnight when they were warned that news may be coming soon. If it did crack $6.20 and Tim shorted it I doubt he would have held overnight himself knowing that news is coming soon.

Peter

Ok youngunz i see you are a shill for tim, lets go over this so even a 4 yr old will understand.

CNBC did NOT charge me for a subscription, timalerts DID.
CNBC did not say DNDN was a #1 short play, tim DID.
CNBC does not CHARGE for investment advice, tim DOES.
tim RANTS when a #1 short play goes in his favor, even by a small amount.
It make smy blood boil to see tim distance himself from DNDN when i know full well he would RANT if it went down.

Do you still not understand shill?

younggunz

Lets put it this way...Last year some sports writer made his picks for every NFL team. He picks the Patriots to win the superbowl. So some reader decides to bet the farm on the Pats. Brady then get injured and the reader is hosed, he's not going to sue the writer.

Osti

PETER - Dude.. I'm not a fan of Tim either, but look- He laid out the criteria, and you didn't follow it. You were reminded to minimize your losses, and you didn't. You were advised not to hold a bio position overnight, and you did.

You went against advise, logic, patterns and trends. Youre what we in Chicago call a 'Treat'. You're treating me to dinner, treating me to a trip to Florida, you're treating me to easy money. Ever heard of a no risk bull options position? You could've gone long, or short, DNDN with NO risk. Did you look at the history of DNDN? Did you see what it did in March of 2007?

You're a prisoner of your own demise.

younggunz

You forgot a few points, I'll add them in for you:

"CNBC did NOT charge me for a subscription, timalerts DID.
CNBC did not say DNDN was a #1 short play, tim DID.
[CNBC did not say DNDN has support at $6.20, tim DID.]
CNBC does not CHARGE for investment advice, tim DOES.
[CNBC did not say, '...so at $6.20 it COULD crack...' tim DID]

tim RANTS when a #1 short play goes in his favor, even by a small amount.
It make smy blood boil to see tim distance himself from DNDN when i know full well he would RANT if it went down.

Tim makes a watchlist of several stocks that fit the pattern that he watches for the next trading day. Yes he does brag when stocks that he has on that list do what he says could happen after they meet certain support levels. When they don't continue to follow the trend he was hoping they would he moves on, simple as that.

The reason I feel he is within his rght to brag when they do follow what he predicts is that he's basically given you a reasonably short list to watch and if you actually try to educate yourself on trading you have the opportunity to see when the stock does hit a key point. Simply put its just a watchlist, his list happens to be in demand and people are willing to pay to see it. Yes he adds reasoning to why he has certain stocks on his list. Some more detailed then others. Some he singles out as the ones he will be watching the closest.

I am some shill for Tim I am just a regular dude that has a pretty even sense of logic. I don't even come onto Tim's site or follow him as much as I used to but when I see someone write some really really stupid stuff based on their own twisted sense of reality it motivates me to write something.

I personally have been watching DNDN for a long long time. I am mad at myself for not buying shares for the long term considering how much it moved before when the FDA gave them possitive feedback. They single handedly started a buying fenzy in biotech stocks a few years ago when they jumped from $4 to $20. The FDA then asked for more data and it tanked back down again. Biotechs in general are risky and take a loong time to produce anything but DNDN was getting close to being done so thats why I was considering taking a small long-term position and let it ride till the next good news hit...Missed the boat.

Timothy Sykes

Peter, u need to learn to read, i dont offer trading advice, i offer entertainment...its just more entertaining to make $....i suggest u learn to be more dedicated in learning my entertainment

Peter

Osti--get real please!! The stock closed at $7 and opened at $20. When was I suppose to minimize losses???

Timothy Sykes

Putzy Peter, u should never have been in the trade in the 1st place, it wasnt a breakdown pattern, it was a breakout pattern, here, check out my DVDs, for u i'll do a barter exchange, u can clean my shoes with your tongue for a year and i'll give u 10% off:

http://www.timothysykes.com/store

Osti

PETER aka 'Treat' - Uhhh... How about by not holding the position overnight when FDA news is due within coming days? Seriously.. you're leading me to believe that you are either a) joking around right now, or b) that was your first trade ever.

NOBODY.. and I mean NOBODY that knows anything about anything wouldn't SHORT a pharma while they have phase 3 drug news out.

Let me know what moving company you end up working for.

Tony

"for u i’ll do a barter exchange, u can clean my shoes with your tongue for a year and i’ll give u 10% off"

Please never let this post end!

So funny... I know laughing at the lame and dumb is wrong but it's so hard no to

coen

I actually believed the story UNTIL i read this: 'Mr. McCay’s total loss was not disclosed, but the family said it was between $1000 and $2500 ' ...at 24, (having a certain intelligence) and then killing yourself for losing 1-2K ....thats unbelievable.

SUE SUE SUE!!!!!!

Tino

What a moron Peter is!! Why the funk did you short it before it went below $6.20?? Plus nobody was pointing a gun at you to make you short that stock, so you are fully responsible of your actions, nobody else! Period.
Now fuck off and learn how to trade or keep flipping burgers in McDonalds!!

Stone

After reading all these posts i am disappointed by the unprofessional behavior of Mr. Timothy Sykes. A customer should be treated with respect, at the very least. A possible suggestion might be to offer a one on one phone call to discuss and "entertain" a more complete understanding of your DVD. ....Stone.....

ShouldaSwalloed

Hey there son.

You're my son.

Sue Tim? How about sue Cramer! Cramer charges 10x what Tim does and Cramer is down 40% since 2008. You're much better off if you waste your money suing Cramer, more exposure for you. SON

Timothy Sykes

Stone, 1.) I'm not a professional and i want to make that clear. 2.) if somebody doesnt understand my strategy, they shouldnt be risking any $ 3.) u dont need my dvds, i have 150 blog posts that basically teach my strategy, I HAVE NEVER NOR WILL I EVER SHORT A STOCK ON THE DAY THAT IT BREAKOUTS OF A RANGE. 4.) i might be tempted to be nicer had the stock actually acted like a potential short, but its the exact opposite of what i look for (yes a potential short can switch to a potential long in the blink of an eye (welcome to trading u know the whole short squeeze theory that nobody seems to get, probly because my shortstocking dvd is my worst selling of all!)

Robert Whitestone

tim what is your current net worth excluding real estate/property mortgages? no negative connotations implied just curious for the love of transparency. Bob

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.
