My Latest Short Sell Trade: Betting Against A Pump & Dump From StockPreacher.com

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 20th of Apr, 2009 02:00:11 PM

My God I love pump and dumps and StockPreacher.com, with their beautiful pump of CLZR last week (on which I earned an ill-timed but stll pretty easy $330 from shorting into their pump), is the hottest stock promoter out there right now.

Today their pick is NTWK and I shorted 4,000 shares a bit too early at 62 cents after it surged from 42 cents to 70 cents–as I told TIMalert subscribers my entry was horrific (there was 350,000 share sell order (maybe StockPreacher’s cousin or lawyer LOL) at 63 cents that i didn’t think would get taken out)

Th email alert StockPreacher sent out today is the ONLY thing that caused the stock rise and given the joke of analysis included and more importantly, StockPreacher’s biz model, I’ll double, triple and maybe even quadruple my position before I’m done with this POS:

Dear Tim,

Good Morning!

We try to mix it up when we’re looking for Companies that we believe may be a good trade for everybody.This company is an excellent example of what we are talking about, as we’ll explain below.

We hope you’re all excited about the ‘Platform’ we put together for you. By logging into our website, at a designated time, it completely gives EVERYBODY the same opportunity at the same time!

Obviously that is going to make a lot of people EXTREMELY HAPPY seeing how our last 4 Trading Ideas hit highs of well over 100%+ gains the SAME DAY we profiled them!

Without wasting any more time, we’re going to release the name to you right away, and give you a summary of the company and why we think it’s got good potential to be yet ANOTHER winning Trade Idea! -Today should be a very good Trading Day for everybody!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you:

NetSol Technologies Inc. (NTWK)

Like we said above, it’s important to mix things up when looking at companies. We always take a very deep look into a Companies Trading Patterns, their EMA and MACD Chart Analysis’ and Support/Resistance.

Simply put, NTWK is so UNDERVALUED in our opinion, it’s such a no-brainer! Now when we looked at this Companies EMA/MACD, which you can view HERE , you’ll notice that it is more or less ‘Neutral’.

NTWK is however BULLISH in the short term, and if you pay attention to the Support/Resistance, you’ll see that there is VERY LIGHT resistance all the way up to $1.61 (NTWK currently trades in the low $0.40 range), that’s almost a 400% gainer, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it went that high soon!

Both the MACD and the EMA analysis on NTWK is very strong in the short and intermediate time, so by no means is this chart looking bad, we’re just very impressed with how little resistance this stock has going all the way up to $1.61!

Okay, enough of the technical side of things. Take look at the Company itself, very good stuff going on here!

Let us explain…

Happy Trading out there today!

OK, so the email is nicely written to appeal to the gullible, just as SP entire site (designed by Pallian!) is made to look like they’re a legitimate information site.

Unfortunately, their disclaimer, which is posted in its entirety below, gives them away as stock pumpers/promoters who can make $ in several different ways:

1. by buying shares-maybe not SP themselves, but affiliates, friends, family, tons of people who can benefit even though they say they have no vested interest–before sending out emails (we don’t know but their disclaimer lets them do that and the heavy buying volume all throughout early April is fishy, at best (think about it, buy 1-2 million shares in the 30-40 cent range, pump it up and sell a few days later at 60-70, make several hundreds of thousands of dollars, much easier than trying to make $ through instructional DVDs and subscription services like TIMalerts to teach people to profit form this legally…oh yeah, their disclaimer actually lays out EXACTLY what they do:

You understand and agree that at the time of any transaction you make StockPreacher.com employees, StockPreacher.com affiliates, and friends and family of StockPreacher.com may have a position in such securities. The positions may have been acquired prior to the publication of any website information or email newsletter. You should also be aware that the aforementioned parties do have the right to increase, decrease, and/or liquidate their positions at any time without further notification. You understand and agree that at any time of any transaction you make StockPreacher.com employees, StockPreacher.com affiliates, and friends and family of StockPreacher.com will sell its shares in the event the shares rise in value. StockPreacher.com will sell its shares for less than target prices given in opinions, if target prices were given. StockPreacher’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, friends and family members may have also bought or may buy the shares discussed in StockPreacher.com report and may profit in the event those shares rise in value. This should be viewed as a conflict of interest. StockPreacher.com will not advise as to when it decides to sell and does not and will not offer any opinion as to when others should sell; each investor must make that decision based on hisor her judgment of the market.

2. SP didn’t get paid for NTWK, at least according to their disclosure page–how well can you trust thieves though?–but you’re damn sure they’re loving all the emails they’re collecting for future promotions! After all, these guys are promoters and it’s good for promoters to mix up real picks with paid picks, Lebed does it all the time.

NTWK’s financials gave me a laugh, revenues down 50% year-over-year and massive losses

In short StockPreacher didn’t pick this stock because they believe in it in the least, they’re a very smart stock promoter–actually owned by Allen James Group–with a proven track record of pumping up stocks and whose prices inevitably crash:

Since last month, these have been their picks:

BWIH dropped 50% after being pumped

KRY dropped 30% after being pumped

XCR dropped 70% after being pumped

ENA dropped 50%+ after being pumped

ORS dropped 50%+ after being pumped

CLZR dropped 50%+ after being pumped (the one on which I screwed up, like this one, and still made $330 along with several other happy TIMalert subscribers)

And now there’s NTWK, hmmmmm, what kind of price action should we expect (it’s not up as much as the others because shorts have learned how easy/high percentage it is to bet against StockPreacher, so me thinks instead of 50%+ downside, all I want is 20-30%, shouldn’t be that tough considering how bad a company NTWK is, how many sellers there are at every turn…

PS As my PennyStocking DVD and other instructional DVDs preach, there’s $ to be made buying these pump and dumps too and if you’re quick like the experience 2 DVD students below are, you can play both sides and double your profits:

shorted and covered already for an extra $400, including my long earlier I made $1287.51 on NTWK today … will short more and big on bounces

bought .4497…i made $586

  • This is the kind of stock I wish I could borrow 50,000 shares and short because there is almost zero risk of it being higher a couple days from now and a good chance it is under .50. I'm short 4,000 now at an average price of $.64201
  • careful against squeezes though. my god i love stock promoters...to all stock promoters, we love u, we love what u do, please do more!
  • alex
    Cool, nice find. How did you find out they pumped NTWK? I didn't see any mention of it on their site (I could tell that Pallian was involved, though...it's stylistically very similar to this site)
  • mark
    maybe if you don't write this it goes up another 100%? we'll never know now...
  • maybe it still will double, i doubt it but it could. my point is that very rare in the stock market do u know the EXACT reason for a big move and we know that reason is complete crap...this is an odds game and the odds of success of shorting into stock hype/promotion is great
  • mark
    "How did you find out they pumped NTWK?"

    @ alex read the third paragraph
  • alex
    Tim - do you own stockpreacher?
  • no, i have a soul
  • posted this on yahoo finance message boards, no way is this just stockpreacher, i hope there are more shares to short tomorrow:

    besides the stocktpreacher email sent out, i see all these messages posted from seemingly reasonable people "insider buying at higher prices", "looks good and safe", "business getting better" This is a total stock hype deal, the facts dont exist---look at ANY of their recent quarters, business stinks! insider buying is basically one guy who's been buying for months, from $1.50 down to 40 cents, he's a true sucker.

    this is a pump and dump, truly...its a beautiful thing and i wish none of the promoters (stockpreacher definitely isn't the only one, he's not smart enough to pull this off) ill will, i want to congratulate them on pulling the wool over so many people's eyes. everyone else, wake the hell up and smell the corruption.
  • HopeSolo
    @ALEX: Sign up for their free newsletter. We all got the email about 10am this morning.
  • mark
    I just thought we were supposed to let them do their thing so we get pretty supernovas to short into on the technical breakdown....now your shorting into the best promoter out there's breakouts..
  • correct mark, i am waaaay early on this one but as i'm writing to timalert subscribers, sometimes u gotta risk pain as there wont be any shares to short later on...thats why i only have a $2,500ish position
  • alex
    Thanks, I'll sign up for their emails...lol. I'm also wondering which brokers have short borrows on this?
  • the stock crashed 20%, i took profits and i've got subscriber testimonials galore, yeahhhhhhhh!
  • Tom
    You know guys, I'm reading this and thinking to myself, "How the hell can this guy sit there and pat himself on the back for shorting what looks to be a good Company"?

    Tim, I know you think you're right here, judging by what you've written all over the message boards, and on here, so I'm not going to try and reason with you...

    I would however like to point out that other than your comment "Look at ANY of their recent quarters....Business stinks!" you have no solid ground to stand on calling this company down. After all, they are on a NATIONALLY listed exchange that has a set rule of qualifications that a Company has to achieve in order to even get listed.

    How about the fact that they have NO DEBT, unlike MANY others!

    How about the fact that they are Trading BELOW BOOK?!

    You don't like to point these things out, and I know why. I doubt you'll post this on your site for all the TIM sheeps to see, because that's not your style.

    The fact is you are a little coward...

    So let's EXPOSE you for what you REALLY are:

    You SHORT the stock of a seemingly good company, then you hit up all the message boards, and send out an "Alert" to all of your BRAIN DEAD subscribers to create more and more 'Controversy' and create and death spiral so that you can take profits after you've created Panic Selling.

    Truly Classic Tim. The problem is, while StockPreacher introduced what seems to be a descent looking company to their subscriber base, you scaled it in the other direction. Probably one of the main reasons it got so hurt today was because you and your minions shorted it.

    What's the difference between the two of you then? Seriously, just from a MORAL stand point. You are simply disguising yourself as the "Good Guy" when you're not. Congrats TIM, you've successfully hurt a Company that wasn't party to a Pump and Dump.

    There's no evidence that it was a pump and dump, StockPreacaher's disclaimer says they weren't paid for it and that they don't own any shares... YEAH YEAH, I know what you're going to say, "They're liars, they're thieves etc etc" but I don't think they are. They disclosed on MANY of their other deals that they own shares or have received payment, so why ALL OF A SUDDEN LIE ABOUT IT for the 1% who actually read it?

    Simply put, they wouldn't lie about it, you just want people to think that so it ADDS to your conspiracy to make them look bad. I praise them, and so what if they get paid for some of them. You get paid for all your COMPLETE CRAP on here, and promote it ANY chance you get...

    You see everybody, do get brainwashed by this guy, he is not doing the capital markets a service, he is hurting them for his own personal gain, and he's shorting them before you, then telling you so you can add to his profits!

    One day TIM just might wake up and realize there's a lot more to life than selling his little DVD's and patting himself on the back while calling himself some sort of "EXPERT" - Tim is a good marketer, and very good at creating controversy.... That doesn't make him right though, and by the way.. NO TIM, YOU DON'T HAVE A SOUL!!!

    Okay, I've said my part. Just so you have a little background on me, I am a REAL Hedge Fund Owner, and I have been involved in the markets for well over 15 years, you were still a zit faced little boy then!

    Oh and just so you know, I know ALL 3 of the guys from UBS that you know, they all got fired for their parts in different manipulation type schemes (Or their suspected involvement) so again, it is a small world and what goes around WILL come around!
  • NTWK is not a good company, as judged by its longterm chart...I am not the jury or the judge, I'm just the court reporter who tells you whats going on...when a guilty stock--as judged by its HORRIFIC longterm chart--spikes 50% based on a stock promoter's email, especially a promoter who has a track record like this:

    BWIH dropped 50% after being pumped
    KRY dropped 30% after being pumped
    XCR dropped 70% after being pumped
    ENA dropped 50%+ after being pumped
    ORS dropped 50%+ after being pumped
    CLZR dropped 50%+ after being pumped (the one on which I screwed up, like this one, and still made $330 along with several other happy TIMalert subscribers)

    well, u ignore the facts u get smacked, the stock market doesnt care about your $, only i do, dont fight me, i'm trying to help u gullible little people!
  • Tom
    HA!

    us "gullible little people" - Glad you have so much faith in oh might TIM.

    Your numbers are way off above there too. Some of the deals they've done are still up higher than the day they originally picked them, but we all know that is not really the point....

    Your business model (If you can call it that) is too short sell these stocks and cover within a the day or so...A Day Trade!

    Now are you telling me with the HUGE percentage gains that everybody who day-traded those stocks didn't make any money?!

    That's just plain ignorant!

    Oh and don't come back at me with some BS either, because I have spoken with PLENTY of your subscribers on other boards who have lost a TON trading your crap... I'll bet you won though... !

    TIM, you are the "King of Controversy" but it's PAPER THIN, and anyone with half a brain can see that...

    Adios, this is the last time I will humor such a pathetic little boy who KNOWS he's wrong!
  • how have my subscribers lost a ton of $ when #1 rule is to cut losses short and i'm winning 70-80% of the time, u stupid little penny stock sucker and/or stock promoter, u can't stop transparency...i'm not controversial, all i do is show what BS there is in the penny stock world, NTWK is barely in business, look at the numbers...and yes look at my numbers and daily testimonials, u aint got nothing on me
  • Tom
    note how TIM did not question any of the facts that were pointed out to him, only defended (or tried to) his honor.

    I got LOTS on you TIM. - HA!

    No need to reply.... But I know you will :)

    LOSER
  • what facts? do u not realize that ALL of stockpeachers picks, paid or unpaid, have dropped 50%+ in the following days? why am i even arguing with a mental midget/stock promoter, u know u're a moron, u know u're wrong but u cant help it, u deserve to go to hell and thats exactly where u're ending up
  • Tom
    You follow you M/O to a tee... It's relly quite funny!

    What facts... LOL.. Ignore them then, others will see what's what... And YOU are to STUPID to realize this is not about stockpreacher, it's about YOU! Your business practices and the way you are TRULY trying to pull the whim over everybody's eyes!

    I really hope that "Peter" on your other page is a real person, although I kinda doubt it too.

    Anyways, you really should get some sleep man, you have people to rip off in the morning...!

    Why anyone would buy your crap is beyond me, but it has been GREAT talking to you.. Take care, comb your hair!
  • how do i pull the wool over people's eyes? i expose ignorance and manipulation and better yet, i teach people to profit from it. i dont have time for aliases, thats for failure of stock promoters...why would anyone buy products form someone up 275% in the last 18 months, #1 on covestors, dozens of daily testimonials, hmmmmm, beats me!

    i will crush you ignorant SOBs if its the last thing i do, 95% of penny stock traders and investors are suckers, i alone will drop that to 70% and the world will be a better place
  • Jason
    To Tom,

    You are expediential more of a fraud then most of our elected political leaders, let alone Tim and/or the “Pump and Dump” firms. How can you claim to be a real hedge fund owner with your writing skills? There are more grammatical errors and spelling errors with your post then the errors which cased the Titanic to sink. If I were in the market for a hedge fund, you would be the last person I would reach out to. Hell, I would put all my money in AIG before calling you.

    Tom I urge you to come clean. You have never managed a hedge fund; I am pleasantly surprised you know how to spell hedge fund.

    Tom, you are upset that you where on the wrong side of this trade and you are now venting on Tim. So I suggest you go back to the hole you crawled out of and read some more trading books and while you are at it, pick up a freaking book without pictures or connect the dots.

    For the record, I do not own any of Tim’s products, nor am I a subscriber to his services.
  • HopeSolo
    Tom's spelling and grammar makes Tim look like a graduated Harvard Enligsh major!
  • GrimReaper
    Bullshit! Both their spelling, punctuation, and Grammer is terrible! But Tom proves out his point better, IMO
  • younggunz
    I think it's funny knowing that Tom is sitting around thinking he just pwned Tim in his little argument. In order to actually make a decent argument it helps to actually make it coherent. When someone has to spend most of their time trying to translate your horrible grammar and spelling you've pretty much lost any chance or winning anyone over. I am no perfectionist grammar nazi but what you've been writing is barely English. I really don't see any point that he's proved.

    Yeah, OK the company isn't in debt their stock chart is still horrific and the whole short play was based on the pumping from a newsletter. Other stocks that have been promoted by this same newsletter have also spiked and fell soon afterwards. Its a predictable pattern based of a unnatural spike. There was no earnings news or product release or anything relevant to the normal day to day business of this particular company. When stocks get hyped from groups like Stock Preacher it opens up a great opportunity to take advantage of overbuying.

    Tim didn't cause the weakness he simply waited for the weakness in the surge to develop then took advantage. The pattern leading up to Stock Preachers promotion had no indication of changing course and thats why Tim made the negative statements that he did about it. Despite all the positive things you mention about the company it still hasn't been helping boost their stock.
