Uh Oh, Guess Who’s Now Exhibiting The Perfect Technical Breakdown Pattern?

Posted by timothysykes on Fri 11th of Jul, 2008 08:01:43 AM

Memba 4 days ago when I featured Fannie Mae (NYSE: FNM) and Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE) as perfect technical breakdowns/a Short Selling pattern I looooooove?

Well, since then those two turds have dropped 16% and 33%, respectively.

Forget all the BS media noise, rumors, tips, fundamentals, screwed employees, just all the shitty things/petty human waste products that are a part of every day Wall Street and focus on the charts. Can you guess which financial company is showing the EXACT same pattern?

American Beauty: Two Stocks Exemplifying Perfect Technical Breakdowns

Posted by timothysykes on Mon 7th of Jul, 2008 07:43:41 PM

You know me, I prefer trading frauds and pump and dumps to real companies, especially real financial companies, especially really f#!$ed financial companies, but I can’t help but appreciate the perfect charts on Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE).

These companies are moving based off news, financing, possible collapse, blah blah, blah…go watch CNBC, it bores me…but notice how the panic really set in when they both took out their March lows.

This is what I’m talking about when I say I want to short into lower lows, whether that appears on an intraday, daily or monthly basis, preferably altogether as that’s when there are stop losses galore getting taken out simultaneously, or at least within a few minutes of each other, and if you’re a short seller, it’s like riding a giant wave, a big ass wave of computer generated sell orders!

Behold the Mona Lisa for short sellers:

Trust No One But Respect The Action: 3 Oil Breakouts & 4 Breakdowns

Posted by timothysykes on Wed 2nd of Jul, 2008 01:27:56 PM

Ahh you gotta love it when new players enter and old ones retire—traders AND stocks. The key is being able to take what you can from each and then move onto the new hotness…

With that thinking, I loved CNEH—it was a weekend affair—but its proving itself to be too slow to continue to interest me (that’s right, I have commitment issues, I said it), CHQ and GST have been trying awfully hard, but their volume just plain sucks. Traders are fickle, we gotta have big moves and big volume…

So check out the 7 charts below, 3 of them are the new hot plays

Book Review: Either Read Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes By Brian Shannon Or Lose Money Trading

Posted by timothysykes on Mon 30th of Jun, 2008 06:23:54 PM

The vast majority of finance books written in the last decade are complete and utter shit. (I know this, you know this, hell, even our joke of an industry itself knows this, but nothing’s changin’ anytime soon cuz shitty books still make money due to the financial miseducation of the general public aka Watch TV and you won’t get rich, you’re just gonna get fat…or fatter!) Because they are written by marketers, fee-earners aka scum suckers, frauds, talking heads and sugarcoated / generalized to the point where we find our once great profession near-dead last in understandability/openness/excitement and widespread profitability.

Given these dark times, there are only a few wise choices—my book An American Hedge Fund (total openness/understandability) a few others, none of which come to mind right away, and these lists (HERE and HERE) of my 20 favorite finance/business books.

So you can imagine my surprise/delight when I discovered Brian Shannon’s (Alphatrends.net) debut book Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes to be the single most accurate/honest/understandable book on charting since Steve Nison’s classic: Japanese Candlestick Charts.

This Is How A Fraud Trades: Laud Resources Inc (LAUD) & MyECheck Inc (MYEC)

Posted by timothysykes on Wed 11th of Jun, 2008 03:17:15 PM

That’s right kids, it’s time to play another round of “This Is How A Fraud Trades” Cue the music.

LAUD Resources Inc. (OTCBB: LAUD) is now woth over $200mil and has revenues of $1 mil…and that chart, as you all should know by now, is a classic classic manipulation scheme…company will say “we don’t know who’s manipulating our stock, we’re just innocent victims”…and then do a financing at 70% discount to pumped up prices…god I love this game!

2 Wild & Crazy Stock Charts & Videos That Teach Important Lessons

Posted by timothysykes on Thu 5th of Jun, 2008 03:47:47 PM

First up is NTI, which I shorted successfully again and again, several points ago…proving that while there’s money to be made on the short side, there’s even more to be made on the long side. More importantly, if you do short, you gotta recognize the difference between consolidation and gradual fading…NTI kept making higher lows and when you’ve got a stock this illiquid filled with determined/naive long-term shorts, it’s practically a short squeeze made in heaven, which is what’s goin’ on today.

Why Speculative Commodity Plays Are Different Than Pump & Dumps

Posted by timothysykes on Mon 2nd of Jun, 2008 11:56:07 AM

PennyStocking students understand that while the Supernova chart patterns on commodity plays like Pyramid Oil Company (PDO), Fieldpoint Petroleum Corporation (FPP), Royale Energy, Inc. (ROYL) and Mexco Energy Corporation (MXC) make them seem like they’ll just continue to collapse for weeks and months just like your typical pump and dumps like KENTUCKY USA ENERGY INC (KYUS), FORCE ENERGY CORP (FORC) and BIOSHAFT WTR TECHNOLOGY INC (BSHF), they don’t.

Because their prices are tied to something much more real than spam, something many people call “black gold”. And as you can see from the charts below, some are barely bouncing (PDO) and (FPP), while others are actually breaking out to new highs (ROYL).

Posted by timothysykes on Wed 28th of May, 2008 10:58:13 AM

Many thanks for making the first LiveStock show a great success (use that link to watch all past and future shows…for some reason the video player doesn’t get along with my site)—now we’ve got a regular weekly live time slot: every Friday afternoon from 1-2pm EST. That’s right, have your questions and tickers ready cuz it’s gonna be live and interactive, then viewable forever (on that little on demand tab) and ever. Maybe you guys could help me out by posting some questions in the comments section so I can make sure they get answered!

As you can see from the banner below, this ain’t your typical finance show—I’m just as likely to knock back a few drinks on air as I am to have some surprise guests…possibly some female models…or industry professionals…mixed in with some music videos and comedy sketches. That’s right, since it’s my name up there, I’m determined to make this sh@# fun at all costs! And, just like the market itself, it ain’t gonna be very predictable and therein lies its beauty!

15 Low Priced Stocks: Buy & Short Sell Some, Avoid Most, Despise Them All!

Posted by timothysykes on Tue 6th of May, 2008 08:59:05 AM

First, let’s get the fun / useless guessing game contest over with—with YHOO’s $24.37 closing price, there were 2 winners: Ann-Nan Lo $24.50 and DarkMatter $24.24—congrats guys! (UPDATE: Ann-Nan Lo has been disqualified cuz her winning guess was her second…wow, my readers are on top of things!)

Now to business, stocks with predictable charts—doubt any of these topics will get 200+ comments, but gimme a few years to set you straight. Tons of plays, gonna be handicapped yet again by the SEC pattern day trading rule—all that handicapping inspired me to write one hell of a post, which I gotta vet with a lawyer…

VNDA
Yes its bounced, but its a ton off its highs and it’s an earnings play, still watching it, doubt I’ll have the buying power to touch it, f$#@ you SEC!

LGDI
My top play for today, made $350 ayer, look to make more if and when it cracks $4.40 to the downside, could / should move fast when it cracks as that’ll put it slightly down on the day, potential to go all the way down to $4, then it’s a game of whether or not stop losses can get taken out, $4.05-$4.10 if it holds, $3.60-$3.70 if it doesn’t…and this is all of course after the probable / hopeful morning short squeeze, which could / should retest highs, pleaseeeeeeee…game of chess baby, I don’t know how to play, only game I know is PennyStocking where you gotta think a few moves ahead!

SUNV
Kills me I didn’t short into yesterday’s spike, read my twitter message about it (Follow me on there to get quick messages like that), I was all set! That calls for my second f$#@ you to the SEC in as any minutes.

FEED
Lesson in why you don’t scalp these range bound suckers, use my friggin experience to your advantage you dumb Jews!

Plunging Home Sales: The Latest Example Of Why Technical Analysis Trumps Media Scumbags

Posted by timothysykes on Fri 25th of Apr, 2008 02:44:58 PM

Home sales are plunging, 13%+ annual drop, largest since 1970, it’s gonna be another depression, we’re all gonna die—blehhhhhh! Who cares? Yeah you heard me—let the flippers suffer/go bankrupt/in debt, that’s what they get for their utter disregard of historical research and for listening to big talkers like Donald Trump who love to un/knowingly risk disaster.

Traders and investors who rely on the one true thing in finance—the charts—know better; the biggest homebuilders stocks (LEN), (KBH), and (TOL) are all slightly higher since this “disastrous” news broke and their charts have been bottoming for weeks. The overall market is up big over the past two days and it’s not because the stock market is some random uber-mysterious thing.

It’s because as much as financial media circus loves talking panic—it helps ratings—all this bad news is already priced in. That’s the beautiful thing about the stock market, it doesn’t care about media scumbags and their ratings-hungry outlets, nor does it bother reading the attention-grabbing headlines—only expectations matter. That’s right kiddies, it’s not that complicated—you just have to be aware of all the industry BS–my telling you this probly means I’ll never get to bring female models on CNBC again :(, but sometimes you gotta make sacrifices for the greater good.

Sure, expectations on individual stocks can be manipulated by the media and promoter scumbags, but not on macro issues—there’s just too many smart people who’ve learned how the game works. After all, the talking heads all put together ain’t worth more than a three-dollar bill because the market don’t give a damn about guesswork.
