How My Blog Made $150,000+ In May 2009…& This Ain’t The Four Hour Workweek

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Sun 14th of Jun, 2009 04:35:33 PM

UPDATE: I tweeted THIS the other day (follow me on twitter already HERE!), but let me preface this post by answering the question I’ve already gotten emails about: yes, this is 100% true, it does me no good to exaggerate. My business is based on brutal honesty so if I do happen to have a bad month trading or publishing business-wise, you’re gonna know about it.

Thanks again to my valued customers, many of whom are absolute wannabes/degenerates…I’ll help you learn not to be such wannabes/degenerates anymore (seriously, 90%+ of traders lose…again, brutal honesty, I’m not gonna be some fake ass polite trading guru) and to wait for the right trading opportunities (and my instructional DVDs obviously do teach what those ideal trading setups look like too!) and forget this $150k headline figure, I’m far more proud that when I add up all the daily testimonials from TIMalert subscribers, trading profits for the month of May 2009 exceeded $250,000!

After brushing up against the monthly-six-figure-income-barrier not once but twice in the last few months (In April, my blog brought in $88,000+…see details HERE and last December the figure was $83,358…see breakdown HERE), I wasn’t sure if my miniscule visitor traffic to my website TimoySykes.com (3,000 daily visitors, approximately 1,000 of them unique, mailing list of 13,000) would be enough to support anything larger, and despite my stock-market-crushing performance (I’m up 370%+ in the last 18 months, making me the #1 ranked trader/investor out of 25,000+ on Covestor, the only financial site that actually verifies results) my sole marketing strategy for TIMalerts (real-time trade alerts newsletter) and PennyStocking instructional trading DVDs (teach my trading strategy) was to mention them incessantly, along with my customer testimonials like HERE and HERE, which I know are hugely annoying, but boy do they work.

TIM Monthly Review How I Made 14% & 17% In October & November, Respectively, & More Than Quadrupled The S&P 500 Over The Past 11 Months

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Thu 11th of Dec, 2008 06:58:23 AM

First: for anyone down 30, 40, 50% this year because you listened to somebody who claimed to know what they’re doing, shame on you, not them. These snakeoil salesmen come in a variety of forms and titles (like “Senior Vice President”), but it’s not their fault, it’s yours–because you weren’t cynical /cautious/distrusting enough…in short, you haven’t read my blog enough.

How My Blog Made $70,000 Even While I Went Away For 10 Days In August

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 8th of Sep, 2008 03:47:29 PM

Well, $69,972 for the month to be exact…pisses me off I was so close to breaking the $70,000 barrier, but came up a lousy $28 short! What can I say, it’s a tough life.

This getting-ridiculous-rather-quickly figure is up from $45,000 in July (see July details HERE), up from $25k in June, $15k in May (those are estimated cuz they weren’t high enough for me to spend hours dissecting everything in order to brag about it)

…and of course the icing on the cake is that I had a nice trip to Japan for 10 days (see itinerary HERE, pics/videos will be up shortly) even while my blog was more than paying for the trip as I was taking it!

Here’s the breakdown:

Introducing The TIMalerts Lifetime Membership, Yours for $2,000

Posted by timothysykes on Wed 3rd of Sep, 2008 04:36:38 PM

Remember THIS post when I was pondering offering TIMalerts lifetime subscriptions?

Well, that got a few people emailing me and one guy actually bought the first TIMalerts lifetime membership for $2,000!

Yes, those who purchase it below will get their very own TIMalerts lifetime member card you see above. Just click pay now and the card is yours!

But forget that little card for a second–as cool as it is–this ain’t no AMEX black card (see what I think about those HERE)…TIMalert lifetime members will receive alerts by email/Twitter (follow me HERE)/whatever the next communication tool/device is for the rest of my life.

And those who know me, know I’m one hard-working SOB so I won’t stop….ever. Even if I get so rich it doesn’t matter or if I get too cocky and blow up…I’ll keep writing and providing trade ideas. Only thing that’ll stop me is if I have a heart attack from too much good food, or if I get taken out by an angry stock promoter, run over, etc.

In time, I do intend to clone myself, but this membership will only be valid during the course of my lifetime, subscription through my clone/s will have to be negotiated at a later date since the science is still new and the costs unknown.

There’s no set schedule of how often I trade or will trade, as TIMalert subscribers know, ideal opportunities come about every few days, about 5-10/month, in the land of PennyStocking. You can bet every now and then I will take vacations, which will impact my trading, although I’ll always be on the lookout for potential trades–as you witnessed during my recent trip to Japan (see it HERE).

And for those of you who don’t know, I’m a fit, well semi-fit (getting better each day thanks to the girlfriend!), 27 year-old so you’re probly looking at 50+ years of trade alerts and stock market commentary. Considering my track record–$12k to $2 million 1999-2002, #1 ranked short bias hedge fund manager 2003-2006, one bad investment that tanked my fund 35% but made me infinitely wiser, now 100%+ return in the last 9 months and total domination of the performance rankings on the social networking site Covestor (see rankings HERE), I’m guessing the entire fee will be paid for with 1-2 good trades, although of course PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE, OR AT LEAST PERFECTLY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RETURNS.

Ironically, my former #1 hater Michael Goode who, as I detailed in THIS post, was the first to buy my most expensive product offering, the PennyStocking DVD + annual subscription to TIMalerts combo deal (check it out HERE!), after initially writing the now infamous post “Timothy Sykes if full of bullship” post HERE is the first TIMalert lifetime member.

Mr. Goode writes in THIS post explaining why he coughed up $2k to become the first TIMalerts lifetime member:

First, I have concluded that at least at the present time Sykes’ trading system works quite well. This does not mean that it will necessarily continue to work, and anyone using his system should not put blind faith in it. That being said, the basic premise of short-selling hyped-up stocks should continue to be successful far in the future, although the details of how best to do that will certainly change. I believe in Sykes’ system enough to trade a decent amount of money with it, and so far I have made quite a bit of money trading his system

…blah blah lots more, click the above link to read the rest of it. Basically, the guy’s made $20,000 in a few months off my picks/system so he was feeling generous. I encourage anybody else who’s made a ton off my stuff to be similarly generous.

Let me know if you have any questions…

My Latest Giant Milestone Reached…

Yes, I’m finally over the $25k hump, THE JOURNEY wasn’t easy…

Yes, my blog made $45k in July (see how HERE)…wait til you see August’s number (feel free to guess in the comments section below!), just double-checking all the figures, detailed post should be up early next week…

But more importantly, yesterday, my blog just reached the

Finally Over The $25k Hump, Osama bin SEC Go F&^% Yourselves!

Posted by timothysykes on Mon 18th of Aug, 2008 04:20:51 PM

Finally! Last November, when I went back to my original $12,000 roots (see post HERE), many people thought/called me crazy…I wasn’t crazy, just determined to show everyone how it’s possible to make plenty of mistakes and yet–if you remained disciplined…or somewhat disciplined–still use small account size as an advantage to profit from all the manipulation and hype in this the gutter of the stock market.

Took me about 9.5 months to accomplish this rather unremarkable yet surprisingly difficult feat (last time I was this poor, there were no regulations preventing me from trading too much, which was a gift and a curse)–see all the trades upon trades upon trades it took me to get there by clicking HERE–and understand that in a free financial world, there’d be no regulatory difference between $2k, $20k, $25k or 250k, but in the real world, one that is subject to terrorism perpetrated by Osama bin SEC, this $25k mark means I can now do more than 3 day trades/week.

Yes, that’s right, after 9+ months of having to

TIM June Monthly Review: It’s Satisfying To Earn 14% When Most Others Lose

Posted by Pallian (Moderator) on Mon 7th of Jul, 2008 11:42:33 AM

June was a tremendous month for me, my site and my strategy all took off just as others collapsed. Of course, just as all the longs look like geniuses in bull markets so do short sellers in bear markets and my trading/teaching was far from perfect, but the key is we’re all earning and learning…

To the numbers…

My Thinkorswim account increased from $17,807 to $20,272, a gain of $2,465, or 13.84%. Plenty of mistakes (click blog posts on the table below to see), but nice domination of Covestor (see rankings HERE) and the major indexes:

Site traffic continued its strong growth, especially monthly visitors which increased from May’s 104,000 to 150,000!

And get excited cuz now I’ve figured out a way to
