Join My FREE Podcast On Trading This Afternoon, Details Inside…
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 22nd of Jul, 2009 08:15:37 AM Sponsor Offer:
This hourlong podcast will be today July 22nd, 4:15-5:15PM EST (sorry, I put the wrong time in the email I sent out!) with 40-year trading veteran, co-founder and CEO of my favorite broker Thinkorswim, Tom Sonoff and is free live for all Thinkorswim users…if you don’t have an account with them (you can open a PaperMoney account to practice your trading/investing without risking a dime), SIGN UP HERE….the podcast will also be available later for everyone, even to those poor souls who have accounts at Scottrade
I have no clue as to what we’ll be talking about, but I can guarantee you it won’t be useless CNBC-type crap…we’re both real traders and both of us have seen and learned much over the years. You’ll find Tom to be one of the coolest, realest people on Wall Street, and I’m not just saying that because he created my favorite broker of all-time…it’s actually true and this podcast will not just be educational, it’ll be informative too.
You Thinkorswim users just need to click the "Launch WTOS Live Audio" on your homepage at 4:15PM EST and you can tune in….trust me, we’ll make it worthwhile.
Tune Into My Live Thinkorswim Podcast 4PM EST, Next Wednesday, July 22nd…

LiveStock is tomorrow 11am-12PM EST, not the typical 1-2PM EST, so tune in HERE, but if you can’t make that my live podcast interview with the amazing co-founder and CEO of Thinkorswim Tom Sosnoff, whose been successfully trading for over four decades, will be at the time the title of this blog post says so tune in on Thinkorswim site!
To hear it live, you’ll need a Thinkorswim username/password, so you can SIGN UP HERE…even if you just open a paper money account, it’s good to get started seeing how these stocks move.
But definitely remember to tune in next Wednesday @4PM EST, the podcast should last over an hour and I have no idea where it’s gonna go, we’re just gonna let it all out!
If you can’t make it next Wednesday, the podcast will be recorded and available at some other time, but it won’t be fresh and new so it’ll be like old orange juice left out on a kitchen table too long…
PS If any of you are in the downtown Chicago area the 19-22, maybe I’ll setup a PennyStocking meetup, anybody, anybody, Bueller, Bueller?
PPS Anybody in the downtown Pittsburgh area, I’ll be here tonight, all day tomorrow and Saturday morning if you wanna get a meetup together there too!

Check Out This 20-Minute Podcast Interview I Did The Other Day
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Sat 30th of May, 2009 09:40:38 AM Sponsor Offer:
A lot going on these days–great-to-trade pump & dumps, surging piles of biotech crap, dozens of TIMalert subscriber testimonials like HERE, HERE and HERE (those are all just from the last 3 days as there’s been $250,000+ in TIMalert subscriber gains in May 2009 alone) all coming at me every single day.
I love it.
So while I do trade--up 18%+ in May alone--my focus is on educating you guys and this quick podcast that I did with Wall Street Window is a great intro to me and my PennyStocking strategy.

How To Make Money Blogging: My 42-Minute Podcast With Yaro Starak

So nwo that my little blogging business is displaying 100%+ quarter-over-quarter growth, earning me $80,000+ last month…
…well, it’s not some magic secret, it’s just a lot of hard work and fortunately for me, PennyStocking is real, as evidenced by not only my Covestor dominating returns, but those of my subscribers and DVD students as well, so it’s not very tough to get the word out
But I have done some podcasts to better explain how to get your blog to earn big money, HERE’s a great near-hourlong one I did with Yaro of Entrepreneu’s Journey, a true blogging genius, which has 50,000 RSS readers (you can subscribe to mine HERE!)

Rule #1: dedication…I’m doing this post on a layover in the Toronto Airport!
Building a successful blog/internet brand ain’t easy. Nine months into this game, ‘m still workin’ 16-18 hour days…and lovin’ every second of it. Check out THIS awesome near-hourlong podcast interview I did with Mixergy.com, a site that interviews “web visionaries” as we discussed what’s worked (PennyStocking, TIMalerts), what hasn’t (TIMbucks, TIMaffiliates) and what you need to do to create your own successful personal brand, if you’re into that kind of thing. Mixergy’s founder Andrew Warner even did THIS snazzy video intro.
You like that? Yeah you did. Here’s the 2nd interview:

TIMradio #7: John Forman, Author Of The Essentials Of Trading
Posted by Pallian (Moderator) on Sun 6th of Jul, 2008 11:14:44 AM Sponsor Offer:
Oh yes, the podcast interviews just keep coming…this latest installment is with John Forman, author of the outstanding trader psychology book The Essentials of Trading, which is REQUIRED READING. He’s even got an entire blog, coincidentally named TheEssentialsOfTrading.com, dedicated to teaching the same principles!
In both his book & site, he’s got time tested examples and exercises for novice and veteran traders alike…really gotta understand the emotions/psychology that play into trading if you’re gonna master it. For the 4938483rd time, successful trading is not just about making the right picks, it’s more about finding what strategies work best for you and then refining your skills through practice and discipline…
Sorry the volume is so weak on this one, it was my bad…just turn it up when John speaks cuz he’s really got a lot of good stuff to say!

TIMradio #4: Michael Covel, Best-Selling Author Of Trend Following & The Complete TurtleTrader
Posted by Pallian (Moderator) on Sun 18th of May, 2008 05:04:48 PM Sponsor Offer:
There are finance writers and then there are finance writers. Sadly, most fall under the category “author only because it’s a great way to get exposure for fee-based businesses thus increasing income streams”. Yup, all you sugarcoating scumsuckers know EXACTLY who you are–enjoy your hedonist meaningless lives you soulless bastards–for too long you’ve helped nobody but yourselves, sullying the reputation of this once great industry!
Sorry I digress, some people just piss me off.
The good news is there are authors out there who write because they wish to share useful information, helping to teach you news ways of making money. I was fortunate enough to sit down and talk with one of the greats, the ever bustling best-selling author of two books that are required reading, Trend Following And The Complete TurtleTrader, Michael Covel. Forget buy and hold, these books are about those who have created fortunes from trend trading–and there’s quite a few of them…(remember Ed Seykota’s music video?) no wonder why he’s sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Click the interview button below and then go out and buy his books–you’ll be amazed at how well this strategy has fared, I know I was.
Listen to the Michael Covel Interview.
Sorry the quality isn’t perfect, but I’m still new at this so I can’t compete with podcast pioneer Disciplined Investor just yet
If you want to learn more about MC and the Turtle Traders , definitely check out his websites, MichaelCovel.com and his many cool Youtube videos. Stay tuned, he’s got a documentary film project in the works, guess who makes an appearance?
TIMradio #3: Tom Sosnoff, Founder of Online Broker Thinkorswim
Posted by timothysykes on Fri 9th of May, 2008 02:21:29 PM Sponsor Offer:
As I sit here waiting for the near-inevitable crack in VRML’s stock price, I thought I’d offer up a podcast for your listening and learning pleasure: You’ve all heard me talk about how much I love and recommend Thinkorswim as a broker–not only do they have the best customer service/software, but they have solid borrows through Penson and most importantly, the people at the company actually try to help customers instead of ripping them off. Maybe that’s why there’s a Chicago-based firm, not NYC.
So for TIMradio podcast #3, I was fortunate to have a fine little chat with the man behind the curtain, Thinkorswim’s founder himself, Tom Sosnoff. Besides being a legendary options trader and frequent industry speaker, he’s one hell of a laidback / good guy…one of the few out there…so I hope I can still be like him when I’m that rich! Somehow I think all that power and money will go to my head…we’ll see.

PS You’ll hear me say this is the first TIMradio, well, it turned out to be #3, but it’s still #1 in my heart :)

Financial blogging has only been around for ages a few years, but already the cream has risen to the top. In my first TIMRadio podcast, I was fortunate enough to be joined by a prime example of that cream, Mr. Eddy Elfenbein, better known by his still-getting-better-by-the-day blog CrossingWallStreet.com. Have a listen and hear us talk about everything from edge-lacking market predictions and Eddy’s old microcap newsletter to my inability to be very outgoing or self-promotional

Sykes’ Saturday Seven: March 22nd, 2008 Edition
Posted by timothysykes on Sat 22nd of Mar, 2008 03:16:05 PM Sponsor Offer:
Techcrunch might be right about Inspectd.com being fun and addicting, but it sets a very very very very very very very bad example. The problem lay in the fact that pattern recognition is only part of the game, you also have to understand the variables that align to CREATE those patterns. Comparing a 100% one-week stock price jump based on a positive earnings report—meaningful, further strength likely—is very very very very very very very different from the same kind of jump based on two ANALyst upgrades and a newsletter mention—hype, reversal probable. Exemplified by the pic below:

A Solid Trade Executed During A Live Radio Interview
Posted by timothysykes on Mon 3rd of Mar, 2008 08:37:24 PM Sponsor Offer:
I didn’t expect any trades today, but when COIN appeared in Barrons recommended by some “guru”, PennyStocking was on (crap company + fluff news + predictable chart pattern = my kind of play)!
If you’ve read this blog over the past few weeks, you know this stock and I don’t get along at all—I’ve had nothing but losses (which I cut quickly) trying to pick its ultimate top. I think it’s a horrible company, but the pumpers are deep and knowledgeable and when they managed to break the stock above a multi-week base between $9 and $12, no matter the hardcore research and anticipation of a double-top at $14, smart were the traders who switched off their emotions and adopted a long bias.
