Can’t wait to read badass short selling 
hedge fund manager’s David Einhorn’s new book…he was just on CNBC today talking about that oh so evil, unpatriotic act, impressing the hell out of just about everyone. I’m particularly pleased with him lashing out at the bastards over at the SEC. Guess you just need a few billion under management to get people to listen.

Sykes’ Saturday Seven: Watch Some Crazy Indians & Warren Buffett Screw Up
Berkshire Hathaway is gonna get taken apart next week as they missed on revenue estimates by $3 billion and took a $1.6 billion loss on derivatives—I like and respect Warren Buffett, but I do look forward to the pain this will cause his sissy value investor cult
This video is tailor made for the narrow-minded value investors out there—while this looks pretty crazy to us, it’s a multi-century tradition older than our entire egotistical culture:

TIM 6 Month Review: Earn 47% While The Markets Drop 10%
Yup, that’s right, tiny, loud mouthed, mistake-celebrating TIM just busted a cap in the ass of the joke that is the financial industry by implementing my own brand of PennyStocking, or short selling penny stocks, a niche that’s supposedly random/akin to gambling and according to Forbes’ oh so popular Investopedia, in their definition of short selling, impossible to short sell! Screw them, the graph below says it all:
Maybe in the future more attention will be paid to this accurate definition of short selling —written by somebody who’s made millions from this strategy instead of some wannabe who’s just the latest journalist joker…you guys remember Sri, the theater major over at CNBC (fired yet?) and TheStreet.com guy who wrote about a product the company had already sold (fired yet?)! How could we forget—after all, their jokes have been very profitable for me and my readers.
Sorry, I digress—my blood is boiling from the amount of misinformation out there—this is a time for celebration and review. After all, while I made plenty of mistakes, a 47% return in 6 months is something to be proud of. So, take a look at all the most important posts during this journey, I promise, no matter what Investopedia says, this strategy is alive and well, legal and learnable (and to you haters, just wait until you see what I can do when I no longer have to deal with the pattern day trader rules, I plan my speaking schedule better and I’m not building a revolutionary new website…when TIM reaches $100k, it’s gonna be damn fun shutting you up as I make $50k+ in 6 months):

First Quarter 2008 Review: Earn 21% Every 3 Months And You’ll Live A Happy Life
Coming off my best week since I started TIM 5+ months ago ($900-ish profits), it’s good to review past successes and mistakes. Without further ado, I give you the first quarter of 2008 in a nutshell, where TIM used small account size–finishing at $17,388–combined with PennyStocking to thoroughly dominate the performance of ALL major indexes, even while making tons of mistakes. Follow along and learn to do the same…already 5% higher in April and I’m just getting warmed up…

No Trades But A Fun Financial Video Montage!
No trades the past two days—all my potential PennyStocking plays—COIN, SWC, CPST and STEN—have let me down in some way. COIN, I want a bigtime breakout, but it’s just messy breakout after messy little breakout, up a hardfought $2 over several days (although its continued strength on decreasing volume signals a potential Supernova pattern), SWC takes out $20 every morning but then bounces (until one time it won’t), CPST is up only 15 cents on a perfect breakout AND contract news and STEN, which I hoped to spike big in order to short into the absurdity, did to $6, but I couldn’t find shares to short! (now at $4, it’s tough to watch a $2 drop from the sidelines).
And then there’s the spam stocks like SOIGF, whose positive news helped it breakout into the close yesterday, but remembering how I made tens of thousands of dollars on it last time—by shorting into their seemingly endless spam promotions—I hesitated buying and have now missed out. The stock gapped nearly 20 cents to $1.40, now at $1.80! Damn stupid TIM, gotta get more comfortable buying spam stocks like this on strength. (Another spammer, MXFD, could soon be a good short)
This game might be hella fun and profitable, but the obstacles are many. Lots of plays come close to perfection, but unless all—and I do mean all—the variables are aligned, high-percentage, low-risk profits you shall not have. The lack of liquidity, shortable shares, difficulty in getting comfortable trading spam plays and truly perfect chart patterns are why pro traders stay away form this niche. The good news is that when the time is right, there’s really not much competition, other than naïve suckers and hype-hype-hyping stock promoters (chill out guys, website traffic and product sales are waaaay up, I’m well on my way to popularizing this stuff, we’ll get you your increased liquidity, please, please just gimme some more plays so we can really break into the bigtime!)
For now, I console myself with this financial video montage:

Too bad Motley Fool doesn’t allow their readers to rate companies with marketcaps of under $100 million, besides the majority of their “writers”, there’s a whole bunch of idiot investors there, wish they’d come down to our neck of the woods so we could take their money!
Hey, check this out, finally got a video clip of my DVD I keep blabbing about up on Youtube, do I hear a $297, anybody, anybody, anybody, you sir in the Arab head-dress?
