My Take On Wall Street’s High Frequency Traders

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Sat 15th of Aug, 2009 01:45:25 PM

In THIS New York Times article, the author whines about the risks of high frequency trading…and he’s succeeded in scaring people as I had no less than a dozen people forward this article to me for comment.

My comment: I could care less.

While investors and traders search for “edges” and industry drones try to figure out ways to look important/keep their jobs, I don’t do any of that crap because I play in a far easier world: Penny Stocks.

While all these people are in a rat race competing against the smartest people in the world, all in an effort to to earn their annual six or seven figures + bonus, I’m sipping daiquiris as I prove daily that profiting from Penny Stocks don’t require that much intelligence or hard work. Because I am certainly not competing against the best and the brightest, more like the dumb and dumbest.

You see, my sentence don’t even have to make sense because I’m up 445% in less than 2 years, all trades verified, #1 out of 25,000 traders on Covestor, and I’ve got TIMalert subscribers making thousands every day thanks to my instructional DVDs showing them the light of how to profit legally from penny stock hype & manipulation.

So, go on rat race victims, try to figure out how to get your small slice of the big game. I’ll just own the minor leagues and while you’ll probly make more than me, I’ll have far more fun, live a better life and inevitably have a longer-lasting career since i’m helping thousands of poor people instead of just a few rich pricks.

Oh yeah, here’s the useless article:

There Are Two Sides To Every Trade…Lessons From Orleans Homebuilders (OHB)

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Fri 7th of Aug, 2009 08:00:20 AM

LiveStock is live from China today 1-2PM EST, tune in HERE

Yesterday Orleans Homebuilders (OHB) not only showed why trading Penny Stocks is soooooo predictable, but also reinforced many of the lessons my instructional DVD packages teach:

Namely that when a stock I short doesn’t breakdown as expected, I don’t sit around and reason that it should drop eventually, I GET OUT ASAP WHETHER I HAVE A SMALL LOSS OR GAIN.

Because as I wrote to TIMalert subscribers the day before this rather impressive low volume spike:

8/5
OHB just keeps squeezing stubborn short sellers who haven’t learned to cut losses…they had positive debt news and the stock is now at $4.50…guys, I’m sometimes wrong, it happens…but to keep adding to non-pump & dump shorts is usually a mistake…that’s why I take my medicine quickly (sometimes too quickly), lesson learned for everyone on this play…I ain’t shorting it anytime soon, unless we see a big short covering spike to the $6s at least

I even underestimated its spiking potential, but I was shorting the thing at $3 (I got out when it held support at $2.85ish for a miniscule profit, more importantly, protecting myself against spikes like this)

Some TIMalert subscribers have learned as they actually bought this short squeeze and profited:

Happened just like you said it would Tim, made $562 buying OHB on the squeeze, thanks! I’m about to pick up TIMfundamentals with these profits!
-George C.

My DVD students have learned these patterns swing both ways, profits can be made either way! (as this turned out to be a good short after the spike too and TIMalert subscribers profited there too:

Shorted OHB at 5.43 down to 5.15 for 7%. Afternoon fade!!!

TechCrunch Proves How Little Industry Outsiders Know About Finance

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Thu 23rd of Jul, 2009 08:15:23 AM

LiveStock is today 1-2PM EST, tune in HERE!

Yesterday I posted HERE about how Covestor now allows you to auto-trade my trades by subscribing HERE…but THIS TechCrunch post about the service really pissed me off…check out what they said:

“Covestor Now Lets You Trade Alongside Its Top Amateur Investors”

…which in itself is misleading/demeaning because professional investors SUCK (as I commented):

Oh and Erick, not sure if you realize this but the “Professional Wall Street Investors” arent doing so well, not one of the 10,000 stock mutual funds was up last year…last time I checked Covestor DOZENS of “amateur investors” banked nice profits…learnnnn

…and then there’s this:

In the end, nobody is going to care about the fees. It is the performance of each portfolio that matters. I’m not convinced that really good amateur investors can do any better than professional investors. Over time, they nearly all get beaten by the S&P 500. If you take a look at how each of the ten Covestor “model managers is doing, some are beating the S&P 500 this month, but none are beating it over the past three months. I’d definitely want to see some outperformance before I put any money behind these guys. But I like the fact that Covestor is leveling the playing field for smart investors to virtually manage funds and compete with the institutional establishment.

TechCrunch mistakenly believes we “model managers” have been trading for 3 months…wrong, we might’ve known about it for 3 months, but we just started trading in beta-testing mode in the last month

TechCrunch mistakenly believes we “model managers” aren’t annihilating the S&P 500 over the past month, 3 months, 6, months, 1 year, 2, years, 3 years, decade…I don’t know nor do I care about the other managers, but my domination is well documented HERE

In the end, it all comes down to performance…not amateur vs. professional…just good old fashioned performance.

If I’m an amateur and you can make money by auto-following my trades, awesome.

If I’m a professional and you can make money by auto-following my trades, even better because then I’ll get paid more what I’m worth to you.

In the end, if Covestor even has the slightest bit of success cutting through the BS and fees that pollute Wall Street, they’re the next blue-chip financial. i hope it works out, subscribe to my auto-trading HERE for just 1.5% in fees per year!

This Trade Proves Why Traders Who Refuse To Cut Losses/Trades Are Typical Financial Losers

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 18th of Mar, 2009 05:00:56 PM

As I wrote in THIS post & alerted TIMalert subscribers, I shorted 2000 MBLX at $6.25 in the early afternoon of March 12th, thinking that its inability to go green on the day when the markets were up 3% meant it should return to its intraday lows of $4.60…all I wanted was 50 cents-$1/share, but this is what happened:

Why Peter DeFazio’s ‘Let Wall Street Pay for Wall Street’s Bailout Act of 2009′ Stinks

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Fri 20th of Feb, 2009 08:05:39 AM

PS Tune into LiveStock today 1-2PM HERE & we’ll be discussing this very issue….heatedly

HERE’S The bill in legal jargon…basically congressonobdyman Peter DeFazio wants to impose a 0.25% transaction tax on the “sale and purchase of financial instruments such as stock, options, and futures.”

As the petition (sign it if you believe in reason, freedom and/or you want the stock market to ever go back up again) against such misguided legislation states:

Finally, such a tax will undoubtedly affect the number of shares traded on an absolute basis, thus reducing liquidity – a necessary ingredient in the effective pricing of assets. It’s the complete lack of liquidity, for example, which made collateralized mortgage obligations effectively worthless.

The body of the bill suggests that such a tax would have a negligible impact on the average investor. I beg to differ. For example, a $10,000 trade (or approximately 100 shares of stock in Apple, Inc.) would increase the cost of a round trip transaction by $50. 100 shares is generally considered to be a minimum size for a trade, which would devastate any small business executing even a handful of similar trades each day.

That’s right, DeFazio ‘DeGenius’ wants to make you, the small-time investors/traders pay for the colossal bungling that is this stimulus bill…day raders and forex freaks would be especially hurt. Forget about those of you making $10,000 trades, if you’re trading $100,000, do you really want to pay $500 in bullshit taxes? $2,500 on a $500,000 trade? $10,000 on a $2 million trade? Oh yes, it could get ugly FOR EVERYONE (probly wiping out/seriously injuring the remaining hedge funds & then everyone will go back to their roots a la Tim Sykes and make more $ selling newsletters & instructional trading DVDs (no government taxes on that!….yet)

Forget the SEC’s mishandling of Short Selling financial companies (remember that ban, that really worked well, huh? BAC, C were trading in the $20s when ‘the drops in stock price were due to short sellers’! LOLOLOL), the SEC’s failure to catch either of these $50 billion fraudsters (they prefer going after high profile but useless people like Martha Stewart & Mark Cuban for a few hundred grand!)–this bill tops anything the ignorant could ever pull off….think of it as ignorance multiplied by a million or so.

The good news is that there’s still time to block this shit. Your mission young/old/successful/failed/wise/addicted/rich/poor trader is simple: you gotta stand up for yourselves and vote to block this doofus from making you pay for this whole shitshow that’s caused by neanderthals like that home flipper you know (we all know one or two, right? Feel free to smack ‘em across their big dumb fat over-leveraged/now-whining-about-it-faces)

SIGN THE PETITION TO BLOCK THIS LUNACY NOW (& send this blog post to your friends or anybody who’s ever made a stock, options or forex trade in their lives or plans to in the future because online discount brokers have made this game far easier, this is a step in the wrong direction, kinda like prohibition for a nation full of alcoholics!)
