Please Excuse The Mess Over the Next Few Days, Upgrading The Site To Version 4 Baby!
As you probly know, ever since the debut of this Super Shredder-like website its been full of bugs, at times slow and sometimes just down completely. Well, I got tired of this kind of sh#@! pretty quickly so for the past few weeks, Pallian and I have been workin’ on a new site—that’s right, Version 4—this is the one that’s gonna last longer than the first one (4 months), version 2 (2 months) and version 3 (2 weeks).
Obviously the trend is going in the wrong direction, but it don’t matter cuz we’re tired of building new sites all the time so this is it! And we’re getting a new host too cuz our traffic is just breakin’ out (only halfway through this month and we’re already waaay past February’s #s) (yeah advertisers, get on it!) as if our name was Kentucky Pyramid Oil Co (PDO)
As soe of you might have noticed, you can get a small taste of the new design HERE. What’s infinitely more important is that our new host, those bad asses over at Mosso.com, tell me that anybody who signs up with them using the referral code “REF-TIMSYKES”, will get $50 off their first month’s bill.
I can’t speak to how good they are until we see ‘em in action next week, but I’ve heard only great things and if they try to f#%$ me over, I’ll just blog about it and then they’ll be sorry! Jew Yah!
Two Interviews: One Video, One Written, Both Edu-tainment To The Max!
While we’re waiting for the next CNEX-like worthy trading opportunity to emerge, check out these two interviews of mine that just came out today.
First StockTickr asks me some really great questions and allows me to set the record straight on a lot of the BS that’s out there. Thanks Dave! PS The guy’s also got a pretty cool product for keeping track of your trading journals…
A few dozen of you participated in the live interview I did on ChuckTV the other day, HERE is the edited version. Clocking in at just over 1 hour, we talk about everything from trading pump and dumps, Saturday Night Live castmembers and drug use on Wall Street to web 2.0, online video and the future of the internet…really interesting convo—thanks again Chuck!
The Pump And Dump Blues: Nothing Compares 2 U, In Loving Memory Of Cannon Exploration Inc (CNEX)
I’m sorry to have to announce the passing of Cannon Exploration Inc. (CNEX), a beautiful and vivacious pump and dump, who at the height of her popularity, was taken from us prematurely, like so many of our brave soldiers around the world
Beautiful CNEX, I know that living with you was sometimes hard, but I composed this wholly original song and even made a music video (even though the singer got the words wrong) in your honor.
It’s been seven hours and five dollars
Since you took your pump away
I research every hour and wait all day
Since you took your pump away
Since you been gone I can write about whatever I want
I can trade any stock I choose
I can look for stocks that are breaking out
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these pump and dump blues
`Cause no pump compares
No pump compares to you
My First Yahoo! Finance / TradingMarkets.com Article: How To Short Sell Pumped Up Penny Stocks
Check it out right HERE. You’ll discover that when you write a brutally honest piece like that—without pay or motives considering I’m not short any of the stocks mentioned nor do I know anybody who’s short—you’re not gonna make too many friends in this joke of an industry. Especially down here in the gutter of the stock market.
Big whoop, I have too many friends already—it’s more fun to write for honesty’s sake, helping the unfortunate suckers who aren’t as experienced as me. That’s my business model and it’s gonna piss off a lot of the people who earn their livings by preying on those amateurs. Deal with it. If I do my job right, penny stocks and microcaps will become infinitely more popular because people will understand how to play the game.
Think of it as cleaning up SoHo so we can build all these nice shops and attract tourists in our neighborhood for once. I’m not trying to get rid of the manipulation—that’ll never happen—just trying to explain it so people can profit from it.
Why Trading Journals Are Just As Important As Trading Profits
Just got an email from a very satisfied PennyStocking DVD student who’s not only made the DVD’s cost back 13x times over in only a few weeks, but also done something rather interesting and I encourage you all to do the same:
Tim, just wanted to tell you that within 3 weeks of watching your DVD, twice, my $25,000 account is already up to $28,946, thanks to shorting those perfect Supernovas, VRML and VM, on which I see I did better than you! (sorry!)
I just started a public journal on ET so I’d love for your readers to come check out my thread! I know you’ve sworn to never post on ET (and after a few weeks I can see why) but I’m going to be diligent in my record keeping and hopefully help you cut through the BS that’s out there. Thank you again for everything, your speedy email replies (although not lately?1?!?) have helped immensely and I can’t imagine trading anything other than Supernovas ever again!
Sincerely,
Lessons Of A Publisher/Video Blogger/Trader (In That Order)
Looks like I should’ve scheduled my video interview for after hours because I got back after the market close to find myself down 40 cents/share on CNEX—which practically guarantees a higher opening tomorrow (even if the bid is pretty much where I shorted), I missed on NNVC’s perfect afternoon 25 cent/share fade (any of you guys get in on that?), which shoulda woulda coulda been a solid profit on my 2,000 shares (reserved earlier).
And just to rub it in, I missed out on PDO squeezing the stubborn shorts (who obviously haven’t watched PennyStocking or else they’d be out looooong ago, as I was) into the market close (I saw the morning spike above previous high of $9, but I don’t like buying, let alone buying morning spikes), which coulda woulda shoulda been bought for a probable gap-up/possible big-time morning spike tomorrow.
My Huffington Post Interview & Why My Readers Will Soon Be Richer Than Me
Check it out HERE–it’s definitely a solid interview and it’s great when a reporter actually takes the time to make sure the facts are correct (yeah suck on that Randall Lane, I’ve got an article coming about you tomorrow!)
PS Even though I screwed up today’s perfect PennyStocking plays rather royally–although controlled losses well–my analysis was dead on, so I’m pretty damn proud and happy that many of you readers banked. Here’s a quick and dirty rundown:
PennyStocking student Davey and Mark shorted VRML around $4.60, Davey covering conservatively at $4.33, Mark still waiting to cover (as of the last comment saw). Ryan shorted some at $4.65 and $5, covering all at $3.70, posting a great comment “With more than $3500 made in a single day today, I am up 72.86% up in 4 months. All this credit goes to our number one Tim!!”
But the gains weren’t limited to VRML alone. Tony Ellis banked $1,200 on COIN, Shthappns banked on UFPT…any others, I can’t even keep track of all the comments today—so please comment about your winners–and losers–in this post so we can see how everyone’s doing! Last one to $1 million is a dirty Jew!
Stock Puppets: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cutting Through Industry BS
When I created this book-blog-DVD publishing business model that is BullShip Press, LLC, I figured I’d repeat my feat, become the top ranked / most popular guy on Covestor, show everyone exactly how to turn thousands into millions trading fantastically predictable penny stocks without using any leverage whatsoever, cut through all the industry corruption and ego, teach a few people and many former suckers how to profit from it, and piss a few others off by promoting my book An American Hedge Fund and instructional DVD PennyStocking in EVERY blog post (cuz they’re that important / helpful / necessary and help cut down too many questions / emails I get).
Everything’s been going well—and then, a few weeks ago, I discovered some bastard using a variation of my name, “timsykus1” on the animalistic Yahoo! message boards. I did some research and discovered the term for this kind of deceit is a “sock puppet”. I thought, okay, that was bound to happen, ignore it.
Flash forward to last night when I’m doing my nightly screen for potential pump and dumps and I come upon VRML, a miserably failing biotech in the same vein as its Paulie-from-the-movie-Rocky-like relatives REED, PSTI and VION, all of which were great to short sell into. And lo and behold, who do I see promoting this thing that belongs in a toilet—yup, “timsykus1” again, using my good name—at least to those who are blind in one eye—to pump this stock!
Stop Trading So Much And Enjoy TIMpics, Talking Photos!
Since incredible trading opportunities like LGDI today (see my reasoning / the play-by-play of my imperfect yet supremely profitable trade in THIS post /comments section) don’t come about every day, I decided this newly redesigned website would not only feature hardcore market / trading content, but also funny stuff, meant to occupy your time during market hours so you’re not tempted to trade the random crap, while also sending you subliminal messages to get you to buy my instructional DVD PennyStocking and book An American Hedge Fund…just kidding…or am I?
Without further bloated introduction, I give you TIMpics! Forget about just regular photos—those are so 1990—these pictures have cool software that allows me to add audio bubbles so you can hear those pictured express their innermost feelings. Get ready cuz these are just the first batch…and soon you’ll be able to upload your own, winning TIMbucks / prizes for the funniest ones…
The Peak—this was it, I coulda woulda shoulda short sold my life that night
April Review: A Solid 5% Month Defines The Life Of A PennyStocker
April was an interesting month—finished up just over 5% to finish at $18,284. Many great trading lessons, in the first 10 days, I got off to a booming start—as there were PennyStocking plays galore—but I didn’t earn a dime during the second half of the month. Not because there weren’t plays, more due to not being able to properly research/watch the markets every second like I like as I was speaking, traveling and working on this new website. Life usually does get in the way of the trading, but that’s fine—I’ve learned you need balance. Take it one pump at a time, profit as much as you can, enjoy the rest.
And, in case you cared, website traffic, while down slightly from March, grew steadily over previous months, and if you take out that huge one-time gain thanks to my Facebook convo with Ashley Dupre, hit a new all-time high…people are tired of all the finance BS, brutal honesty is the clear solution.
Here are posts you need to memorize for a quiz on Monday:
Successes
PennyStocking is all about predicting 10% price moves
It’s easy, but you gotta find shares to short cuz everybody wants in!
It’s fun when the media helps manipulate prices
It’s even more fun to trade in the airport (not)
