The Right & Wrong Way To Short Sell A Fraud Like Kentucky USA Energy Inc. (KYUS)

Yesterday, a day after failing to be too aggressive with shorting known fraud CNEX, as it plunged from $7 to $3 and my readers made thousands of dollars, I saw a morning dip on fellow pump and dump/known fraud KYUS and shorted into it, 2,000 shares at $2.37. Although hugely manipulated, it was only up $1 or so—no $1 to $7 action—but I was afraid I was gonna miss out on a possible 50 cent drop. Not only did this trade break my trading rules—wait til the friggin afternoon you lil bitch!—but I let a prior trade influence a current one. Two major mistakes, so I deservedly was forced to cover into the late morning spike, at $2.56, rubbing the typical morning fakeout breakdown in my face. So, I finished the day with a loss of $413, after commissions, now nearly $1,000 of my highs just last week.

Today, with the stock opening slightly higher in the $2.60-$2.70 range and a morning meeting to work on TIMtv, I made sure not to even consider shorting until the afternoon. Not even when I saw it tanking to $2.40, just as I was walking out the door, was I tempted to short the 3,000 shares I reserved—if I missed it, I missed it. (that morning dip turned out to be yet another fakeout)

But by mid-afternoon, while still in the studio, after some solid sideways price action barely clinging to positive on the day, I saw the stock go slightly negative on the day and I said to myself, “this is a worthy pattern to short into.” I missed the initial drop as it just fell too quickly to $2.50, but I thanked my lucky stars that it bounced right back near the unchanged mark, just as I shorted 2,815 shares (135 shares didn’t get executed) at $2.58.

10 Hot Stocks That Will Make You Tear Up & Be Unable To Watch FOX Biz

Yeah there’s lot more, but again nothing ideal to short…yet…especially all these crappy oil companies, nothing like a rising tide to lift all boats

ASIA exemplifies a slow boring breakout of a real company…makes me sick to my stomach how slow these things move, no wonder why 90% of traders lose money trading these things…blehhhh….I’ll take fake companies that move any day of the week

FORC=KYUS=HYBR as all three are known to have been sending out spam mailers to get people to buy their crappy stocks! C’mon guys, these companies are fake–ever wonder why I can say that and get away with it? Cuz it’s the truth and the fake companies don’t wanna fight me in court! I lost $400 shorting KYUS too early (detailed post coming soon)—not because I don’t think the stock is lower 1-2 months form now, but because I’m not gonna be around much today (working on a live version of TIMtv) so I couldn’t risk a big squeeze…yup, playing it safe to teach you guys a lesson!

These 15 Hot Stocks Are The Sketchiest Group Of Characters Ever Assembled!

Horrible day yesterday, didn’t make any trades, missed out on great fades/plummets on UQM SSBX and of course CNEX. Now I’m singing the pump and dump blues…and none of the following stocks compare 2 u (CNEX)

Gotta grab those easy profits cuz they don’t come about every day…there’s no room in this game for hesitation, you short just gotta short a fading fraud, somehow slip into a coma for a few days and wake up with 20-70% profits…daily blogging probly doesn’t help, you’re too close to the flame.

FORC is just your typical $90 million oil fraud sending out mailers and PRs to anyone who will listen, you wonder why it goes so gradually higher all the time? Think back to the chapters detailing 1999-2000 in my book…yup, it’s called manipulation and it’s beautiful if you have the balls ride it long, glorious if you have the patience to wait to short and scary as hell for all the amateurs in between who don’t know what’s going on.

NYNY has lots of rumors swirling who knows and who cares who to believe, the chart is a gradual wannabe cup and handle…don’t short until it gets too steep, even then be very very careful, somebody’s got momentum

UBET is the same kind of rumor-based runup and while its chart is steeper, it’s up a whopping 75 cents off its lows, let me know when it goes from $1 to $7, then I’ll get really interested.

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.

How I Screwed Up Shorting Cannon Exploration Inc (CNEX), Down 40% Today, While My Readers Are Making Tens Of Thousands

Where do I even begin on this one. Like my previous near-perfect call on fellow joke of a company pump and dump VRML, my readers made much more $ than I did. In fact, I lost a bundle shorting CNEX the other day at $6, admittedly too early/forced to due to the circumstances, covering at $7.20 yesterday, not wanting to risk a big-time gap higher/possible short squeeze today. Fortunately for me, there were shares available to short this morning so I reserved 500 and as I posted HERE, I planned on watching this one all day, shorting only when the pattern was to my liking.

After a slight gap higher, the buyers were drowned by sellers—we’re talking 10k volume here folks, nothing major—so I quickly placed an order to short sell with a limit of $7 when the price was $7.25 x $7.30…3 minutes later the priced had cracked big-time below my limit and it appeared I hadn’t gotten my execution. Damnit! Having been in this spot many times before, I knew it’s tough shorting into probable morning dumps so I lowered my limit to $6.50…nope, still no execution…20 seconds later and the stock was testing $6.

12 Hot Stocks For Manipulation Monday, Wish It Was Supernova Sunday

PSTI
Everybody and their mother is contacting me about this pump and dump to short…now that I have some capital/trades available to me this week, I might short it, but it is down $2 in 6 days and there’s really only $1 of downside left

XRM
March’s big drop was due to its debtload, now a solid earnings report has brought it back up…not a pump and dump, I’ll avoid it…for now

SSBX
It’s a friggin Bancorp! That just reeks of boredom…barely up, let e know when it go up ore than 50%, or changes its name and gets into cancer research of wind energy

APWR
Speaking of breaking wind, this guy just broke out for a second time in a few months, seems ike forever since THIS post (why I’m anti-investing), although it was about as gradual as my descent into madness, aka not all. I trust this company about as much as I enjoy pissing into a wind blower, but I respect this breakout enough not to short it…yet

VRML
Watch, it’s gonna tank below $2.50 today just to piss me off. Beautiful thing about PennyStocking
is that despite my passengers-watching-an-Arab-on-an-airplane-like patience, the longer you hold these ideal plays, usually the better. I’m fine with my 20% profit though…

Contest Time: No More BS Guessing Games, This Is PennyStocking!

The popularity of last week’s entertaining but inevitably useless contest got me thinking–I wondered how many people would enter a contest where they might learn something, meaning they’d actually have to do a little work? So, I give you NT Holding Corp (NTHH.OB), a sketchy sketchy sketchy stock that decupled (10x) in price last week on some surprisingly not-so-insignificant trading volume.

What caused this staggering price surge and do you think it will continue? I’ve done my research, but let’s see what you guys got–whoever posts the most in depth research–as judged by me–wins a copy of that soon-to-be-called classic book you should all have read by now! Deadline for entry is Monday morning 8am, winner will be announced at 8:30am. Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes to be a PennyStocker!

10 Hot Stocks & Other Cynical Views On The Trashy World Of Penny Stocks

VRML Still 1,300 Shares short @ $3.75
LGDI
Both are supernovas, LGDI near its highs, but VRML still up waaay more %-wise…both have fading volume, both can still squeeze shorts even though they’ll probly fail. I’m short VRML cuz it’s up on stock promoters, ill-researched media story and best of all the company is a truly failing biotech microcrap in the same vein as REED, VION, DARA and PSTI—each of which also jumped 200%+ and have now retraced ALL of their gains (PSTI is only halfway, but give its also the newest)

VRML coulda woulda shoulda gone negative on the day, cracking the key $3.40 yesterday, but they smartly issued a fluffy PR I won’t dignify linking to (they formed a committee)(you think they don’t know that would squeeze some shorts c’mon, this is the beauty of pumping–they don’t have actual business to tie them down, their business is getting the stock up!…still, after an initial spike, very nice gradual downtrending all day, great sign, sooner or later, we’ll get some panic selling

HDSN
You can’t stop this air conditioner play (seriously) after it just reported solid earnings…good for 25 cents/share intraday peaks and valleys, if you’re into that sort of thing

OIL
Woooo $125, I don’t care. I hope it goes to $1,000, then we’ll get plenty of great oil pump and dumps and our short selling profits will be that much greater when the whole world is in the midst of a crippling depression!

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!
