Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 22nd of Jun, 2009 03:00:37 PM

…while only trading with $14,000 of my now $60,000+ account….putting me up 46% in 2009 and 403% in the last 18 months, aka just a small taste of what successful PennyStocking is all about!

More importantly, TIMalert subscribers made $4,500+ from these trades, as you’ll read in the testimonials below.

Learn From One Of My Best Stock Trades In Recent Memory

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 17th of Jun, 2009 08:00:43 AM

One of my gutsiest/dead on calls ever was when I shorted 1,000 JAZZ at $3.26 the other day, entering early because I knew the few shares to short at Interactive Brokers would be gone…knowing I’d have an early loss, but it’d be worthwhile once the inevitable fade set in, I sent this to TIMalert subscribers:

How to Short Sell Penny Stocks: Example #2

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Thu 28th of May, 2009 11:30:16 AM

UPDATE: To the morons who only think I talk about trades after the fact and that I make up all these testimonials–the reason you’re a moron is that you actually don’t understand that this is my free site, where you get the same info, just delayed…aka good for learning, but non-actionable, if you wanna see my stuff real-time, sign-up HERE

Soooo many pumps, so little time…you saw example #1 on GRO from the other day, here’s the second pump I shorted in the last few days, following up on my original post HERE that details how the stock was meticulously pumped.

This was what I initially sent out to TIMalert subscribers:

How TIMalert Subscribers Made Over $25,000 On MAP Pharmaceuticals (MAPP) Today

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 27th of May, 2009 09:41:36 PM

Daaaaaaamn!

When I emailed TIMalert subscribers yesterday afternoon:

Bought 2000 MAPP at 8.76…I know it sounds crazy to buy a stock up 180% on the day, but the positive drug news is huuuuge and the stock has held its gains nicely and just held a key technical level at 8.60…shorts are getting scared and methinks double digits is possible, especially if the stock follows similar patterns of other biotech high fliers DNDN and VNDA, both of which have risen over the next few days after their initial surges….obviously this is risky so I’ll cut losses if it starts fading into the market close, but my goal is to sell into a morning spike tomorrow, ideally in the $10 range, if shorts get squeezed…I’ll uct my losses if it drops below $8.50

…and I was so proud that it did indeed breakout past the day high, I even did a special post congratulating all the TIMalert subscribers who made a few thousand in just a few hours in THIS post.

…but I had little idea, it’d then do this:

I mean, obviously…because I sold the same day (trading like the castrated choir boy that I am–and proudly encourage others to do in my TIMfunndamentals DVD) at $9.17 for an $800 gain (decent, but not great).

The good news is that I’m not paid to be the best trader possible, I’m a newsletter writer/trading coach paid to uncover solid trading opportunities & teach through my successes and failures what to and not to do.

On MAPP, I nailed the positive momentum going forward, but failed to recognize its true potential…good and bad…

…the good news is that my TIMalert subscribers know I’m not that great a timer/trader, so many of them have learned to be more patient than me! (as I preach in my instructional dvds, I’ll show you the ropes as I’ve learned them over a decade in this biz, but you can do better than me!)

Check it out, all TIMalert subscriber testimonials posted on subscribers-only TIMalerts.com…it feels grrrrreat when this happens, congrats to all those involved!

Thanks for the MAPP alert yesterday. I was feeling kinda crappy after a few losses but made up for it with MAPP. I got in kinda late at $9.00 and I had the balls the hold overnight, going against your selloff warning. However, I sold on the morning spike at $10.40 for a cool $1600 profit. Gotta learn the way of the jew !

Check Out How My Crazy Friday Watchlist Performed…

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Sat 21st of Mar, 2009 12:55:26 PM

Remember my massive 17-stock Friday watchlist?

I spent a lot more time on it, think 4 hours+ than I normally do because I filmed my entire research process so 3 hours of that will be the second half of my upcoming TIMfundamentals DVD (order now as $50 off pre-order ends on Wednesday next week!).

See how each stock acted and some TIMalert testimonials:

Tim,

My subscription to TIMalerts is paid for for the next 6 months by 2 small trades. I only put $500 at risk on each occasion. I can’t help but learn a little each day. Even if I don’t make another trade, it is well worth it.
-Bob L.

CHRS profit of $100 or so
-Reaper

Shorted CHRS from 1.48 to 1.25 for a $410 profit. Shorted ID @ 4.83, now below 4.7, holding over the weekend.
-N.

Got out of CHRS for a small loss around $50. This morning’s price action caused me to cut losses when it failed to break through 1.40. Should’ve held, but hindsight is 20/20. Good learning experience however.
-W.

Got in w/ you on VOXM @ 3.90. The bid ask spread on it is pretty ridic…
-David

The two stocks I was shorting, CHRS & VOXW dropped 23% and 30%. respectively, on the day…

I covered CHRS for $150 in quick bitch-like gains at $1.43, leaving a cool $750 in profits had someone beat me over the head and I not regained consciousness until today. Since as you can see form the chart below that VOXW is not a trade, but more of a gimme, I held overnight and fully intend on covering under $2 next week…100 shares I found to short of VOXW as opposed to 3,000 CHRS so it stinks, but the pattern, as detailed extensively extensively extensively on my PennyStocking Part Deux DVD package, remains perfect:

So my gains are around $300 on CHRS and VOXW, pathetic, but that puts me up 5% on the month so it’s not the end of the world.

In other crazy long watchlist news, I was waaaaaay too passive with TRW and TEN potential shorts as both dropped 15%+ on the day, but I was dead on with MXFD, SOLF and ASTI being solid shorts too…but most of all I’m proud of this call:

LEA amended its financing, kinda like GGC, same kind of runup—50 cents/share to $1.50+…GGC then proceeded to tank 25% off its highs, is LEA next? Potential short!

That happened EXACTLY and several TIMalert subscribers banked…

I doubt I’ll ever be totally right on my lists, but this was probly my best showing ever and I’m very glad that anyone who buys my TIMfundamentals DVD will see that!
