Back in early April 2009, I wrote a blog post about Medical Marijuana, Inc. (MJNA) before they had changed their name to try to lure potheads into investing in the stock.
The company and its press releases stunk of a typical penny stock taking advantage of financially ignorant people, with the added twist that those people who would most likely invest probly weren’t sober.
Well, Examiner.com has a recent article about them summarizing their sketchy stock issuing acitivty:

The Cobra Venom Pain Reliever Company, Nutra Pharma Corp. (NPHC), Just Gave Us $8,000 More

You see from my trades detailed on http://www.timothysykes.com/tim that I’ve been on a bit of a hot streak this week (up like $4,000), this month (up about $7,000 on trading my 2 small accounts), this year (up 94% in 1 account, up 20% since I started the Covestor auto-trade account in May), the past 2 years (up 565% making me dominate 30,000+ other traders on Covestor where I’ve held the #1 spot for nearly 2 solid years), well really the past decade (working on making my 3rd million from trading alone, already made just about a mil from this blog)!
After earning $2,000+ by short selling a fundamentally flawed penny stock, making $5,000+ by BUYING, (yes buying, I don’t always short) a penny stock breakout the other day and successfully exposing and Short Selling 3 stocks halted by the SEC in the last 3 weeks, with TIMalert subscribers and I reaping over $72,000 in trading profits from one, Genova Biotherapeutics, Inc., after it reopened from the trading halt at a penny/share!, I’ve been seeing even more sketchy companies like this one, NPHC which I initially wrote about how they were a nearly $200 million company with no cash let alone revenues…TIMalert subscribers made $6,000+ shorting as the chart pattern foretold a decent-sized pullback…then the company did raise money, but at an 89% discount to their stock price!
So I reshorted and waited….several days it took, but it finally just fell off a cliff as people realized their hyped up new product wasn’t gonna be hyped as much as previously thought, not to mention there was no human testing done!
TIMalert subscribers and I banked another $7,000+, but they get their trade alerts real-time…you can only read them waaaaaay after the fact:

The $260 Million Penny Stock That’s So Very Similar To Spongetech…
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Sun 11th of Oct, 2009 12:40:48 PM Sponsor Offer:
UPDATE: A person claiming to be the CEO of IMGG replied to my post on IHub, saying the 60 million shares sold were part of the 107 million shares sold at .025…who knows if this really is the CEO, if it is, it’s pretty pathetic that he’s chatting on message boards, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt so my educated guess of 423 million shares was wrong, it’s 370 million (LOL), giving this a marketcap of $260ish million, hence my changing the title of the post…but I don’t believe a word he says about why he changed accountants (a penny stock’s CEO’s word is about as good as the local bum begging for a a $20 bill to buy some whiskey)…after digging through their SEC filings, I still think this thing stinks, but who cares, I ain’t a longterm investor/sucker, just a trader and I predicted a 15% drop in stock price based on the pattern….TIMalert subscribers made $5,000+ shorting this and I look forward to the day when all the suckers realize my research quoting filings they never learned how to read isn’t “bashing”, it’s the result of being a penny stock trader for a decade and being able to smell a rat….I was told I was wrong on GVBP, I was told I was wrong on EMGE….I was told I was wrong about Spongetech…all were halted by the SEC…while this one doesn’t smell as bad, I look forward to shorting this again in the future as the penny stock CEO does what just about every other penny stock CEO does, talks highly about new products, raises money when the stock spikes and then fails to deliver…many say I’m wrong, they could have a point, after all, I’m only right about 80% of the time so there is a chance for success HERE LOL!
REMEMBER: You have until this coming Friday, October 16th, to register to attend this special event. from the comfort of your very own home or if you can’t make it live buying that 2-day pass will serve as your order for the DVD of the event, which will be 12+ hours of footage and come with an instruction manual too!.
In the tradition of incredibly corrupt yet shockingly beautiful and predictable pump & dumps like Spongetech Delivery Systems, Inc. (SPNGE) (remember that grand ole list of stock promoters they paid to pump up their stock…before it collapsed and the SEC halted it!) and Nutra Pharma Corp. (NPHC) comes Imaging3, Inc. (IMGG), the latest in a long line of Penny Stocks whose sole focus is to lure in suckers as insiders and their friends cash out at pumped up prices.
Topping NPHC’s financing done at an 89% discount to their current stock price (disclosure: after TIMalert subscribers and I made $6,000+ correctly predicting, but mistiming, a 50% drop within a few days last time we shorted, I’m short yet again, 5,000 shares), the other day IMGG quietly raised $2.7 million SELLING 107 MILLION SHARES AT 0.025 PER SHARE, A 95% DISCOUNT TO THEIR MARKET PRICE!
And like SPNGE before them, IMGG has recently been increasing their number of both authorized and preferred shares.

Beating The Dow Jones Newswire To A Fascinating Story By A Week…

Last night an article on Nutra Pharma Corp. (NPHC) entitled “Nutra Pharma’s New Pain Remedy Might Bite Investors” by Carol S. Remond, an award-winning columnist who won a Gerald Loeb Award in 2005 for best news service content with “Exposing Small-Cap fraud,” a series of articles that described how three small companies unscrupulously pumped up their stocks, which she wrote for the Dow Jones Newswire (a subscription service hence me linking to a reposting on a Yahoo! message board full of degenerate penny stocker traders, naive suckers and sure-to-be-going-to-hell-for-spreading-so-much-misinformaton stock promoters) (coincidentally the same subscription service that compared my book “An American Hedge Fund” to “the trader in Edwin LeFevre’s classic Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.”,was published, just 8 days after my 3 exposes on NPHC:

Is This The Next Hot Medical Technology Stock?

Tune into LiveStock tomorrow HERE 1-2PM EST!
Why would I buy a stock so many other traders whom I respect are shorting? Because other traders whom I respect are shorting it…because other traders whom I respect other traders also respect, meaning when people like Lionmaster of TheLion.com short a stock (see my interview with him), his following also shorts…and that following is not as experienced or well funded as he and there’s a chance that if the stock acts against them, they can get squeezed (he’d probly just add to his position).

Is This The Next Pump & Dump Destined To Fall 50%+? (I Just Shorted)

LiveStock is today 1-2PM EST today, tune in HERE!
How do I begin writing a blog post that could ultimately mark the beginning of the end for the stock of Zagg Incorporated (ZAGG)?
Should I link to THIS blog post when I bought the stock at $1.50, recognizing its potential to be pumped like Forward Industries, Inc. (FORD) was a few years back? Hmmm, maybe that won’t help my credibility much because while I turned out to be dead on accurate in that prediction, I sold at practically the same price because when doing research, I saw how sketchy this company actually was (pump & dumps ARE great to buy, I’ve just never been good at it because I’ve seen how fast they can collapse)
Perhaps I should mention THIS blog post where I bought in high $6s, thinking it’d breakout after months of stalling…and while I was right there and my TIMalert subscribers banked $8,000+ on that breakout to $7.90, the surge ultimately failed…but that’s not really relevant now, it’s just an obvious attempt to get you to sign up to my TIMalerts real-time trade alerts newsletter…similar to me pointing out that TIMalert subscribers are up $350,000+ in 2009 (see details HERE) on the back of my 65%+ performance (now I’m up 465%+ in the past 21 months…every trade detailed HERE…maintaiing my ridiculous lead as the #1 trader out of 30,000 on Covestor, the only wbesite that verifies all trades and performance (every single financial commentator should be on it, problem is most suck so they don’t want to show their mediocrity…actually, when including July’s numbers, TIMalert subscribers have made in excess of $450,000, I’ll post details soon)

How To Trade An SEC 8-A12B Filing: RINO International Corporation (RINO)
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 8th of Jul, 2009 08:15:02 AM Sponsor Offer:
THIS SEC filing is why I sent the following to TIMalert subscribers yesterday afternoon:
Bought 1500 RINO at $9.48, stock is just under its highs at $10.05, up a ton today already on THIS SEC filing that is opens the door to an official announcement the company has gotten NASDAQ listing…methinks this probable upcoming announcement will be a catalyst to push it above $10, ideally to the $10.50-$12 range…very nicely gradual uptrend so the trend is my friend here, stop loss at $9 if I’m wrong, $1-$2 of upside if I’m right about the announcement…obviously some people are also anticipating it so it’s not like I’m beating people to the punch here, just a solid risk-reward setup for a trade with a 2-5 day time horizon
TIMalert subscribers also got a followup to that analysis later last night…you gotta subscribe to get all that goodness!
So What Does SEC Form 8-A12B Mean?
A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that is required when a corporation wishes to issue certain classes of securities, including rights to buy such securities at a future date. This filing is also known as the Registration for Listing of a Security on a National Exchange Form. Included in SEC Form 8-A12B are details of the issuer and the security.
Zzzzzz, long story short, this SEC filing usually precedes an official press release that the stock is getting listed on a major exchange….could take days or weeks…which doesn’t even really matter because as CEUA proves, the SEC filing is usually just the beginning of the runup–see how that stock has done since that initial jump on the June 18th filing (also thanks to RedChip being the sketchy promoters that they are, c’mon RINO, hire them!):
And the theory is that once RINO goes NASDAQ, people will see this is a $250 million Chinese water treatment company earning 50 cents/share per quarter, or $2+/share per year, meaning this thing trades with a PE of 5, less than 1/5th the valuation of competitor and recent hot IPO DGW Duoyuan Global Wtr Inc (NYSE)
Superman (proven swing trader) has a good comparitive post HERE and below is most of his findings:
There is an exciting IPO scheduled to trade the week of June 22nd. Duoyuan Global Water (DGW) They are a provider of water treatment equipment in China. China has a water scarcity issue so this is one of the hottest sector to me. Water and Air industry in China. By my calculations DGW would have done approximately $1 EPS with the post-IPO share count for 2008. The IPO is expected to price at $13-$15 for a 13-15 p/e and I would guess this gaps open much higher. The problem with hot IPO’s in many cases is they gap so high that the only people that make money are the people who were able to participate in the IPO shares. I think I found a much better stock.
RINO.OB - RINO International Corporation, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Innomind Group Limited and Dalian Innomind Environment Engineering Co., Ltd., its contractually-controlled affiliate, Dalian RINO Environmental Engineering Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (”Dalian Rino”) and Dalian Rino’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dalian Rino Environmental Engineering Project Design Co., Ltd. and Dalian Rino Environmental Construction & Installation Project Co., Ltd., is a leading provider of environmental protection equipment for the iron and steel industry in China. Specifically, RINO designs, manufactures, installs and services proprietary and patented wastewater treatment, flue gas desulphurization equipment, and high temperature anti-oxidation systems, which are all designed to reduce either industrial pollution and/or improve energy utilization.
This Company has amazing numbers:
Fiscal Year 2008 Sales Increase 119.8% to $139.3 million, **Adjusted Net Income Increases 119.9% to $39.0 million with EPS of $1.56 — Reaffirms 2009 Guidance: Revenues expected to exceed $176.5 million Read 2008 Press Release
Q1 Net Sales Increased 87.0% to $35.6 Million while Net Income Increased 148.5% to $12.5 Million with EPS of $.50 vs. $.20 Read Q1 Press Release
“The first quarter represents a very strong start in 2009 as we made significant improvements in all of our key financial metrics,” stated Mr. Zou Dejun, President and CEO of RINO International, “Our business continues to be driven by a number of fundamental factors all centered around China’s desire to ensure that iron and steel manufacturers properly protect the environment, specifically the water and air. By collecting a significant portion of our receivables we ended the quarter with $47.9 million cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet. This generated significant cash flow from operations, and puts us in an excellent position to capitalize on our growth opportunities for the balance of 2009. We ended the quarter with a backlog of approximately $61.8 million, which represents 8 desulphurization, 5 wastewater treatment and 1 anti-oxidation projects which will be implemented during the next two quarters. We are very confident that we will continue to provide incremental and robust top-line and bottom line growth for our Company”.
There is one analyst that has estimates for RINO on yahoo that expect over $2 EPS. It does not look like they were updated for the recent Q1 results.
If DGW is going to trade at a P/E of 20 or higher, it is easy to see why a Company like RINO seems extremely undervalued to me at current prices. If RINO is currently near or above a $2 EPS run rate with impressive growth and backlog, then a P/E of 13-15 like DGW is pricing at would be a $26-$30 stock.
Chinese accounting is basically worthless, but DGW is now steady in the low $20s meaning if RINO trades at even 1/2 of DGW’s valuation, it’ll be a $25 stock…I’m not a patient man so all I want is a solid breakout past $10 and even yesterday’s late day weakness, there seems to be limited downside potential with NASDAQ right around the corner….which is why I’m still long 1500 shares at $9.48.

The Latest 20%+ TIMalert Winner, But As Usual I Wasn’t Greedy Enough, Must Go To Synagogue To Be Better Jew
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Tue 2nd of Sep, 2008 06:35:06 PM Sponsor Offer:
From the TIMalert right near the market open, TAYD dropped 21%, here’s the story of how it was entirely predictable and lots of TIMalert subscribers banked:
In THIS morning’s watchlist, when I said about Taylor Devices, Inc. (TAYD) “this thing is gonna tank, it’s my #1 potential short”
I knew I had to reserve shares early…7:40am. Done.
After I shorted 1,000 shares right near the market open at $8.13ish, I sent out this alert to TIMalert subscribers:
one of the simplest plays in a while, earthquake absorption equipment maker always goes up on natural disasters–people get excited about possible deals–hurricane gustav wasnt that bad, sadly–this thing should go back down…read my book An American Hedge Fund–and see I once made over $200,000 shorting this same stock after the Asian tsunami, not much has changed since then except i’m more conservative…goal is to cover under 7.50 in the next 1-2 days, not a huge profit cuz it wasn’t up enough
Unfortunately, since it was a morning dump, it tanked rather quickly to my target area of $7.50 and very few subscribers actually got in—luckily there a little bounce to the $7.70-$7.80 area, but that’s it.
Considering the stock was only up from the low $6s—and yes, even though it’s an earthquake, not hurricane play, its got a proven track record of spiking during natural disasters—as I detail in my book An American Hedge Fund. So, I took my profit and sent out this alert to TIMalert subscribers:

Those Hypesters Are At It Again: AgFeed Industries Inc. (FEED)

You gotta love how blatantly the pig farmers over at FEED hype their business and spit in the faces of the incompetent SEC with ridiculously-forward-looking statements. Understand I’m not short, know nobody who is short and have nothing against hype and manipulation–I just love teaching people to profit from it and writing about it!
You might recall I’ve written a few posts about these master artists (can you guess what kind of artists I think they are?) before, HERE and HERE when they suckered some naive institutional investors at the top and got funding for their pig plundering.
But when I read aggressively hyped PRs like THIS, I feel compelled to blog about it. Because if I can prevent one sucker from getting in bed with these scumbags, maybe convince them not to be so trusting of anybody at these BS companies, instead going the route of my PennyStocking DVD, then I’ll have done my job–profiting from teaching about how incredibly manipulated the smallcap game really is.
