Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 12th of Oct, 2009 05:00:18 PM

Remember the dozen or so blog posts I’ve written in the past few weeks, all summarized in the official GVBP hardcore research post, about the shady shady practices of Genova Biotherapeutics, Inc…before the SEC halted it.

Well, TIMalert subscribers and I made $41,000+ in trading profits shorting this thing before the SEC halt, but when the stock reopened last week down 99% to a penny/share:

How To Profit From The SEC Halting A Stock

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 23rd of Sep, 2009 05:30:06 PM

I took a lot of heat all over the internet from penny stock promoters and their errand boys, TIMalert subscribers didn’t understand why I focused sooooo much time on this one company, but today, EVERYONE now understands that when you have a true GIMME, you try to make as much $ as you can off it because you know these don’t come around every day…especially when your research leads you to believe that the stock you’re shorting has done soooo much bad stuff that it’s likely they’ll get halted by the SEC.

Details On Why Spongetech Delivery Systems Inc. (SPNG) Is A Blatant Pump & Dump

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Sat 13th of Jun, 2009 12:43:18 PM

UPDATE: The SEC did in fact halt the stock nearly 4 months after I first wrote about it…The New York Post’s series of articles quoting me 3 months after I first began writing about how shady SPNG surely helped bring it to the SEC’s attention….here’s a summary of all my posts detailing why I was so negative for so long. TIMalert subscribers made a good amount off this one, namely earning 35% in one day, but the real profits came from us shorting Genova Biotherapeutics Inc. (GVBP) on which we made $72,000+ shorting that all the way from $1/share down to a penny/share which it reopened at after the SEC trading halt…these pump & dumps will happen time and again, don’t be bitter or mad, just learn from my comprehensive PennyStocking study guides which include all the penny stock lessons, variables, chart patterns and examples that helped me turn a few thousand into into a few million 1999-2002, become the #1 ranked short bias hedge fund manager 2003-2006 (Barclays), the very trading rules I ignored which caused me to lose 35% in 2007 (I believed in a penny stock, similar to the bagholders in Spongetech), but more importantly the lessons in these guides are my strategy and now that I am focusing 100% that strategy, I have been the #1 ranked trader on Covestor 2007-2009 and my lead is so great, I could probly stop trading in 2010 and still be #1 at year’s end…please learn, this is why I teach.

You’ve seen my posts calling SPNG a pump & dump HERE and HERE and students of my PennyStocking instructional DVDs, specifically my TIMfundamentals DVD package, in which I explain my research process in a 6-hour 4-disc DVD package (with huuuuge instruction manual & 30-day satisfaction guarantee), know EXACTLY why but for you lazy/gullible suckers out there, the following is why I shorted 10,000 shares at 18ish cents/share late Friday (Over a dozen TIMalert subscribers are short at 18, 21, 23, 24, 26 and 27 cents/share, some of whom covered as low as 8 cents/share on the predictable intraday drop…yup, that pattern is not unique to SPNG, it’s happened about 1,000 times in the past few years and I’ve made several million dollars trading these pump & dumps, that’s why I teach from experience)

Here are the facts:

My Latest 35% Gain In One Day Winner: Why Hemispherx Biopharma Is Rubbish

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Sat 6th of Jun, 2009 08:26:03 AM

TIMalert subscribers know I think the guys running HEB are scumbags–they’ve done 2 financings at massive discounts to the market price (showing no regard to their shareholders because they KNOW the shareholders are nitwits so screwed they deserve to be!) in the past few weeks by taking advantage of their pumped up stock price based on PRs detailing YEARS OLD DRUG DATA.

I shorted 300 shares at $4.18 at 10:20am on Friday, sending this alert out to TIMalert subscribers:

Shorted 300 HEB at 4.18, very small speculative position…found the shares through Thinkorswim, have 700 more reserved and I got up late so I’m guessing there are many more shares out there…I think I can make $1-2 of downside from here, but I’m keeping it small since the stock is still up on the day…biotechs are jumpy and if you read thestreet.com’s article on this carcass, you’ll see this company ain’t worth its hype

I’m still holding my miniscule position because the size doesn’t matter, it’s the great feeling of being right (already up nearly $1.50/share on my short) and my desire to rub it into those gullible/ignorant enough to believe the BS/hype….after all, this slumdog is up from 50 cents/share just one month ago!

There will always be new suckers, but I intend to create such a ruckus in the coming years (not saying these stocks aren’t good to buy, obviously the upside is nice…I want you guys to learn to buy the hype, just never believe it!) that every long-term penny stock investor sucker will know that Timothy Sykes warned them before they did the dumb thing that lost them so much money.

Adam F. of TheStreet.com explains what this pump and dump is all about–and contrary to the pimple-faced-snot-nosed kids and boobs posting on Yahoo Finance, the article came out at 8am, plenty of time for everyone who knows how to read to go short this pile of junk (it was reposted after my 10:20am alert, thus giving rise to the theory that Adam and I are in cohoots)…the problem obviously stemming from the fact that most people “invested” in HEB don’t know how to read…seriously…and have dreams of being invested in DNDN, VNDA, MAPP-type moves. While that very well may happen, the signs of blatant manipulation and pumping make me believe the odds are very high to be short here and I’m perfectly positioned with my ultra-small position to reap the rewards of probable further downside come Monday.

Here’s Adam’s fact-based article, facts are which the promoters and suckers are sorely lacking:

Erik D.M. writes, “Hey mister journalist, still feeling the same about Hemispherx Biopharma(HEB Quote) as you did a couple of days ago? I don’t see you writing anything negative anymore, or did you buy them yourself, too?”
Nope, I still feel the same way about Ampligen — a long shot for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval as a treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome.

I assume Erik is taunting me because Hemispherx’s stock price is higher today than it was when I wrote my column on May 28. Well, Hemispherx’s CEO William Carter has helped his cause by hooking up with some online penny-stock promoters who’ve been flogging the stock incessantly.

The company has also fed the maws of risk-hungry retail investors by issuing a couple of hyper-promotional (but largely content-free) press releases related to Ampligen’s role to potentially treat avian and swine flu strains.

But so far, nothing from Hemispherx about the pending FDA approval decision on Ampligen. All of Carter’s bluster is designed to divert attention away from the real matter at hand, but he can only stall for so long.

And he still hasn’t answered any of the questions I posed to him in my last column.

What Carter is doing instead is taking a page from the well-worn playbook I’ve seen used countless times by companies in trouble with the FDA. In fact, Hemispherx reminds me so much of Biopure(BPUR Quote), the old human blood substitute company. That story ended badly, and so will Hemispherx.

I’ve already catalogued several inconsistencies in past statements made by the company about the clinical data coming out of Ampligen’s clinical trials. Carter’s track record hyping Ampligen is no better. Check this out:

On Hemispherx’s March 19 conference call, Carter spoke about the strong prospects for Ampligen’s approval. To back up his claim, he quoted a report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a U.S. government-run organization, which stated that “Ampligen, an investigational drug that is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, given intravenously to severely debilitated [chronic fatigue syndrome] patients yielded the most promising results.”
Ampligen is “most promising,” according to the AHRQ, an arm of the federal government. It’s a claim you hear Carter make often.

I found that AHRQ report, thanks to the Google. It was published in September 2001 — almost eight years ago. The “most promising” line about Ampligen is in the report, for sure, but it refers to the small Ampligen study done in 1993-1994, not the pivotal study of the drug conducted in 2004.

The report also states that, “In sum, evidence from trials involving immunologic therapies was relatively scant and insufficient to conclude whether these treatments were effective or ineffective.”

Not such a ringing endorsement, but then, Carter doesn’t want investors to know that, nor does he want them to know he’s quoting from an outdated report compiled eight years ago.

My Latest Short Sell Trade: Betting Against A Pump & Dump From StockPreacher.com

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 20th of Apr, 2009 02:00:11 PM

My God I love pump and dumps and StockPreacher.com, with their beautiful pump of CLZR last week (on which I earned an ill-timed but stll pretty easy $330 from shorting into their pump), is the hottest stock promoter out there right now.

Today their pick is NTWK and I shorted 4,000 shares a bit too early at 62 cents after it surged from 42 cents to 70 cents–as I told TIMalert subscribers my entry was horrific (there was 350,000 share sell order (maybe StockPreacher’s cousin or lawyer LOL) at 63 cents that i didn’t think would get taken out)

Th email alert StockPreacher sent out today is the ONLY thing that caused the stock rise and given the joke of analysis included and more importantly, StockPreacher’s biz model, I’ll double, triple and maybe even quadruple my position before I’m done with this POS:

Dear Tim,

Good Morning!

We try to mix it up when we’re looking for Companies that we believe may be a good trade for everybody.This company is an excellent example of what we are talking about, as we’ll explain below.

We hope you’re all excited about the ‘Platform’ we put together for you. By logging into our website, at a designated time, it completely gives EVERYBODY the same opportunity at the same time!

Obviously that is going to make a lot of people EXTREMELY HAPPY seeing how our last 4 Trading Ideas hit highs of well over 100%+ gains the SAME DAY we profiled them!

Without wasting any more time, we’re going to release the name to you right away, and give you a summary of the company and why we think it’s got good potential to be yet ANOTHER winning Trade Idea! -Today should be a very good Trading Day for everybody!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you:

NetSol Technologies Inc. (NTWK)

Like we said above, it’s important to mix things up when looking at companies. We always take a very deep look into a Companies Trading Patterns, their EMA and MACD Chart Analysis’ and Support/Resistance.

Simply put, NTWK is so UNDERVALUED in our opinion, it’s such a no-brainer! Now when we looked at this Companies EMA/MACD, which you can view HERE , you’ll notice that it is more or less ‘Neutral’.

NTWK is however BULLISH in the short term, and if you pay attention to the Support/Resistance, you’ll see that there is VERY LIGHT resistance all the way up to $1.61 (NTWK currently trades in the low $0.40 range), that’s almost a 400% gainer, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it went that high soon!

Both the MACD and the EMA analysis on NTWK is very strong in the short and intermediate time, so by no means is this chart looking bad, we’re just very impressed with how little resistance this stock has going all the way up to $1.61!

Okay, enough of the technical side of things. Take look at the Company itself, very good stuff going on here!

Let us explain…

Check out their latest news, and continue reading below for their company profile: NetSol Technologies and Atheeb Group Form Atheeb NetSol Limited, a New Software Engineering and Joint Venture Company Focused on Saudi Arabia, GCC, and The Middle East

Happy Trading out there today!

OK, so the email is nicely written to appeal to the gullible, just as SP entire site (designed by Pallian!) is made to look like they’re a legitimate information site.

Unfortunately, their disclaimer, which is posted in its entirety below, gives them away as stock pumpers/promoters who can make $ in several different ways:

1. by buying shares-maybe not SP themselves, but affiliates, friends, family, tons of people who can benefit even though they say they have no vested interest–before sending out emails (we don’t know but their disclaimer lets them do that and the heavy buying volume all throughout early April is fishy, at best (think about it, buy 1-2 million shares in the 30-40 cent range, pump it up and sell a few days later at 60-70, make several hundreds of thousands of dollars, much easier than trying to make $ through instructional DVDs and subscription services like TIMalerts to teach people to profit form this legally…oh yeah, their disclaimer actually lays out EXACTLY what they do:

You understand and agree that at the time of any transaction you make StockPreacher.com employees, StockPreacher.com affiliates, and friends and family of StockPreacher.com may have a position in such securities. The positions may have been acquired prior to the publication of any website information or email newsletter. You should also be aware that the aforementioned parties do have the right to increase, decrease, and/or liquidate their positions at any time without further notification. You understand and agree that at any time of any transaction you make StockPreacher.com employees, StockPreacher.com affiliates, and friends and family of StockPreacher.com will sell its shares in the event the shares rise in value. StockPreacher.com will sell its shares for less than target prices given in opinions, if target prices were given. StockPreacher’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, friends and family members may have also bought or may buy the shares discussed in StockPreacher.com report and may profit in the event those shares rise in value. This should be viewed as a conflict of interest. StockPreacher.com will not advise as to when it decides to sell and does not and will not offer any opinion as to when others should sell; each investor must make that decision based on hisor her judgment of the market.

2. SP didn’t get paid for NTWK, at least according to their disclosure page–how well can you trust thieves though?–but you’re damn sure they’re loving all the emails they’re collecting for future promotions! After all, these guys are promoters and it’s good for promoters to mix up real picks with paid picks, Lebed does it all the time.

NTWK’s financials gave me a laugh, revenues down 50% year-over-year and massive losses…

In short StockPreacher didn’t pick this stock because they believe in it in the least, they’re a very smart stock promoter–actually owned by Allen James Group–with a proven track record of pumping up stocks and whose prices inevitably crash:

Since last month, these have been their picks:

BWIH dropped 50% after being pumped

KRY dropped 30% after being pumped

XCR dropped 70% after being pumped

ENA dropped 50%+ after being pumped

ORS dropped 50%+ after being pumped

CLZR dropped 50%+ after being pumped (the one on which I screwed up, like this one, and still made $330 along with several other happy TIMalert subscribers)

And now there’s NTWK, hmmmmm, what kind of price action should we expect (it’s not up as much as the others because shorts have learned how easy/high percentage it is to bet against StockPreacher, so me thinks instead of 50%+ downside, all I want is 20-30%, shouldn’t be that tough considering how bad a company NTWK is, how many sellers there are at every turn…

PS As my PennyStocking DVD and other instructional DVDs preach, there’s $ to be made buying these pump and dumps too and if you’re quick like the experience 2 DVD students below are, you can play both sides and double your profits:

shorted and covered already for an extra $400, including my long earlier I made $1287.51 on NTWK today … will short more and big on bounces
