Then it comes down to managing ego, discipline and getting the word out to help the masses & building businesses/income around that helping (beware the free helping!)

Re: Why The Transparent Investment Management (TIM) Portfolio Has Failed

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 11:54:20 -0000

Interesting take, but totally incorrect. Nothing's going on behind the scenes, Covestor's numbers are wrong because since I'm only taking 1-2 positions at a time, their software mistakes that for me putting 50-100% of my assets to work, when in reality it's only 20-50%. As for the pattern day trading rule, I will trade as long as my broker allows me to. I suggest you open a Thinkorswim account too, as long as you don't abuse margin requirements, I feel like anyone can do this. Also, this stupid rule wasn't in place the first time around (it was only instituted in 2001).

Perhaps most importantly, while it'll be nice for me to repeat my feat, it'll be even nicer if my blog's readers achieve it quicker than I do. As everyone's learning, I'm really not that great a trader, but since I learn from my mistakes and put rules in place to do better in the future, I'm constantly improving, even if the returns don't reflect that yet.

Re: Why The Transparent Investment Management (TIM) Portfolio Has Failed

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 17:56:58 -0000

The key is that this rule was not in place last time I had under $25k. I never would've been able to go from $12k to $123k in one year--as I did in 1999--with these crap restrictions.

Take tomorrow for example, there's going to be TONS of opportunities during a panic, a.) I wish I wasn't traveling and b) I wish I could trade freely to capitalize on them all

As for BSRC, I never recommended it, I never recommend any stock I don't play, all I said is respect the pump. Kevin Kelly, like many of you, is a value investor--just as I never will have the patience nor the trust to put my money in the hands of somebody else for that long, nor will any of you ever be able to understand that aside from hardcore company values, BS runs Wall Street. When a company has no hardcore values, you must rely on that BS to judge a company. BSRC has a lot of BS behind it. Respect it.

Re: Q & A

Timothy Sykes — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 13:57:27 -0000

Minimum you need to trade with is a few thousand, commissions are negligible, especially if you start with a small account because you'll have to ignore most trade setups and really only partake in the ones with maximum volatility/predictability (aka the ones I feature on this site 1-3/month). Software, it's all about screening for the right charts, see this post:

http://www.timothysykes.com/2007/11/11/where-i-...

Hardware, I use a $3k laptop, but I overspent back when I was making the big bucks. All you need is an internet connection. Subscriptions, none, TimothySykes.com, TheLion.com and Investorshub.com are all free. Trading platform, I love Thinkorswim, they have great executions, customer support, they're cheap (not the cheapest, but when you get what you pay for, Scottrade users know what I mean, LOL) and also have great screening tools. Good luck!

After this interview and my blog post came out, MAIL announced Google has kicked them off AdSense and the stock tanked to under $3. Google then reinstated them--probly as a result of a lot of begging and/or a change in ad policy--but the stock is still at $3.70.

Re: APWR Is Going To Da Moon, To Da Moon I Tell Ya!

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 08:21:23 -0000

Just sold my APWR at $18.78, solid 6% gain just for holding over the weekend. This was a HIGHLY PREDICTABLE pattern--the Friday afternoon hype, Monday gap up--sometime you get $1/share, sometimes you get $12/share (made $123k on ISCO back in 2000)

Re: APWR Is Going To Da Moon, To Da Moon I Tell Ya!

Who cares about $20, I just threw one possibility out there. I'm notoriously quick on my trigger finger, I enjoy taking easy gains too much

Re: APWR Is Going To Da Moon, To Da Moon I Tell Ya!

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 09:54:41 -0000

Apparently you don't get the gist of how hype works and what my article was all about. I can say APWR is going to $5,000, but if the price action doesn't support it, it doesn't matter.

ACHN, I don't short biotechs that are waaaaay off their lows, too much spikage, nor do I play Canadian listed equities. Today's market is dead

As with APWR, you guys are idiots if you couldn't see that my post was a classic example of hype--I even mentioned my post would be spammed everywhere. And somehow, somehow I believed a ridiculous over the top title like that would help show how ridiculous the smallcap hype game is.

And no I don't mind calling people idiots, most people on Wall Street are! And no I'm not gonna be your normal kind of teacher, I'm a freaken day trader who has little patience! I created my book and DVD so you guys would have background info on all my trades and strategies, the blog is meant to take that info to the next level. If you try to understand everything based on the blog alone, you're gonna be lost. So do your DD before you jump to conclusions.

Oh and ROHI isn't up or expensive enough for me to short, I really want to stick to "perfect" charts, those being up 100-300% within a few days, they offer the best risk-reward ratios

Re: All The Usual Suspects Are Hot, But Not Hot Enough For Me, zzzzzzzz!

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 11:35:08 -0000

IFC and IBCP are not supernovas either, neither are up enough, both are in hard hit categories due overdue for spikes. Think 100-300% moves in 2-3 days and 300-1,000% moves in 1-2 weeks---those are patterns I want to short

Re: All The Usual Suspects Are Hot, But Not Hot Enough For Me, zzzzzzzz!

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:14:44 -0000

I still t hink APWR is headed higher, but I take my $1-2 gains and move on. That's my strategy. That's always been my strategy. I play volatile stocks and I try to hop on and off along the way, so $1-$2 price moves are much easier to predict. That said, APWR broke out perfectly, is moving on hype and it probly will continue to do so, god bless those long-term investors who have patience to hold for double or triples

Check that, right as I do this post, cancer drug IDMI breaks out to a new high at $2.70. Perfect afternoon breakout above $2, another missed opportunity for TIM, anyone else catch that?

Re: Timothy Sykes Refutes Some Blatant Lies, Typical Wall Street BS

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:51:40 -0000

Well proved him right for now by shorting 1,000 IDMI at $3.15, now at $3.80, googd thing it's a small position, will double up at higher prices

Thanks for the compliments, I write market commentary, detail my trades, write asides all to help you better understand the market from ympoint of view. Nothing is simple, if I tell you to buy a stock and it goes up, you make money, but what have you learned? No, I want you to understand all the variables, the players, etc. So I suggest you check out my book and possibly my DVD--both will give you a lot of background info--and check in on my blog regularly, I'll have new posts up all the time.

Feel free to ask me ANY questions whatsoever, preferably in the forums (will be up shortly) so everyone can learn together!

COINW just follows COIN. COIN keeps surging and fading, pretty sad. i'm avoiding it because i dont know if these surges will stick one day.

CXP is up on takeover rumors, aka unpredictable

and i never bet on govt bailouts, no way to have any edge whatsoever

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:56:59 -0000

Correct, I did miss the IDMI buy at $2 thanks to me wasting time answering this guy, but I will defend my good name til my dying breadth. But this isn't just about trading, I really gotta help people understand how much lying and BS there is out there, as I even underestimated it when I named my publishing company BullShip Press. This applies to everybody and everything in the business world so my overall lesson is DON'T TRUST ANYBODY. Easy to say, but I jump at each opportunity to prove my point

and that my friend is the difficult part about this strategy, sometimes you gotta be early before all the people who see it overnight jump in to do the only rational thing they can do, short sell. maybe i shoulda shorted that extra 500 shares after all, just gotta get up early tomorrow morning and beg for more shares!

Re: Those Who Can’t Do, Teach, Prove Me Wrong Sykes

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:09:59 -0000

Of course 200-1000% returns are realistic. It just depends on how often stocks like IDMI pop up. And averaging up DOES work on these plays, you just can't begin too early. Who cares about losing 6%, who cares if I lose 20-50%. I was trying to be a conservative model for newbies, but it's just too boring. I made my money the first time being bold, so I guess I'll be that way again. No guts, no glory

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:43:00 -0000

WSCI--I don't like shorting earnings breakouts, they're unpredictable and when it cracked yesterday, thought it had support at $10

Zig, if you read my book or the previous comments, it becomes tough to find shares of these stocks, so you gotta be early. Ideal short probly would have been right before the close and average up into potential morning spike or take profits.

Jesse Livermore also committed suicide after losing all his $. Sometime you have to average up, just the way it is with short selling and why many people can't do it.

as for APWR, i can't help u, after all i put a ridiculous title, i mentioned my post would be spammed everywhere and that that would help the price even more, i mentioned that reality doesn't matter, its all about perception, i mentioned it was on the day traders radar screen (they're fickle), and most importantly, I had this phrase:

"I expect a strong morning surge on hundreds of thousands shares traded and then we gotta see how strong the volume and the price pattern can remain"

Well we got the morning spike and the volume and the pattern crapped out. I was early, but i didn't like how many sellers there were when it was only up $1. so, i'm proud. call BS somewhere else

Re: Those Who Can’t Do, Teach, Prove Me Wrong Sykes

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 02:03:39 -0000

and trust me, if i wanted people on my side when i played these hype plays, i'd post in real-time, i could easily front run and with my traffic, i could make some serious cash. but thats not only soulless/unethical, it's also boring to me. what's more exciting is if i can teach you boobs how to play these volatile stocks better than me. so you're not gonna get "hot stock picks", its gonna take time, but i want u to see how i trade, what works and what doesnt, within a few months or maybe a few years, u'll understand the variables and patterns so u won't even need me anymore and that'll be great because by then, i'll be sick of exaplining everything!

Re: Those Who Can’t Do, Teach, Prove Me Wrong Sykes

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 07:47:16 -0000

no my hedge fund lost 30% because i actually believed in the technology of an illiquid penny stock play. i hope idmi does go higher, i'll just add. this is a total POS and like i've been saying for the past dozen posts, shares will become to difficult to borrow, so being early, while painful, is the only way to go. i know it looks like madness, but welcome to the strategy thats made me a million or so

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 08:34:49 -0000

Hahah I will lose all my holdings within a year? I've heard that one before! Stick around kid, give this strategy a chance, it never ceases to amaze me how many doubters there are? but i guess when your strategy flies smack in the faces of "acceptable investing", it should be expected. Trust me, I still don't understand why these patterns offer such high percentage profits, and as evidenced by my highly flawed timing, I'm still not great at it. But, for all my mistakes, the profits speak for themselves and thats why I am promoting it.

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 09:36:50 -0000

MFLX is just the latest earnings winner with a strong downtrend, no different than INFN, VPRT, I'd avoid

I'm predominantly a short seller--because all these penny stock companies are total crap--but sometimes I buy into breakouts, it all depends on their chart pattern

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 16:07:53 -0000

tgal is an earnings mover, i never short those

better end of the day play was CTIB, ziploc deal talked up everywhere, low floater, hopefully it can really spike so i can short, much much higher

Re: A Shining Example Of Why Short Selling Pumped Up Penny Stocks Rocks!

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 17:58:09 -0000

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 10:55:27 -0000

Apologies tot hose emailed me--I'm about a week behind--popularity's a bitch! Lots of Q&A; on here so here we go:

If your broker will allow it, you can short down to 1 cent stocks. Thinkorswim's limit is $3 and thats ifne by me (lower than that and the risk reward gets out of whack)

ETFC, I could care less about insider buying, thats BS, he knows idiots care about it so he does it, more important, the chart is POSSIBLY bottoming, but too unreliable/boring for TIM.

If I had a kid, I would just show him DPTR's chart to put him to sleep---BOOOOOOOORING

POWI, waaaaay too unpredictable chart for me

MBI, waaaaay too unpredictable for me--I don't play Wall Street movers and shakers that go up and down based on deals. Who's everybody? Who cares--I trust nobody!

Ilan, I started in my teens, got serious at 18.

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 12:31:53 -0000

Apparently I can short under $3, Thinkorswim just let me short 1,000 ARTE at $2.84! I asked my trusty chat guy "I thought you don't allow shorting under $3?" and his reply was "you're good to short"

LOLOLOL Is there no end fo Thinkorswim's greatness? Ended p covering quickly at $2.80 because I don't like the price action (full details later), but I love my broker more than ever.

Float and marketcap come into play depending on what the volume/interest is. I usually don't l ike shorting stocks under $50mil marketcap--crap like GOAM and CTIB can really spike. Float who cares, the low floaters are the best spikers, just tougher to find shares to short

CHNR, JRJC, there's no pattern there! Sure they can run, but its not predictable until it happens. Contrary to popular belief CHNR has only had two $5 days int he past few months--hardly the drop of a hat. And since so many people are expecting that kind of run, it's probly unlikely. YTEC on the other hand is a great chart, its predictable, I just dont now if I can buy anything in this market, I'm so much more comfortable shorting IDMI-type plays

Re: Stock Review: 3 Teenage Stocks Looking To Grow Up Quickly

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:33:52 -0000

what chart pattern is JRJC exemplifying? The one where it takes out 10-day support? And 3-day support? Smack in the face of a hugely downtrending 1-year chart. That kind of pathetic price action makes it seem more like a short than a long but downside seems so little, aka UNPREDICTABLE

Re: Some Potential Plays But I Also Need Your Help

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:38:39 -0000

COIN is not a perfect breakout, but it's a nice multi-day one. it's been trying to breakout the past few days, failing every time. this was the first time it spiked into the close. if it doesnt gap up, i'll sell for a 10-20 cent loss, but the upside is 50 cents-$1

Re: Some Potential Plays But I Also Need Your Help

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:59:53 -0000

sold my coin at 9.92. nasty lsos, chart was ripe for a breakout but can't predict filing news. the probability of a decent gap up was on my side, i'd do it all over again...more in a detailed post later

Re: Some Potential Plays But I Also Need Your Help

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:18:00 -0000

John D, you miss the point. my COIN trade was a chart-based trade and it was a good one. No way of me knowing the financing news would come during my little slice of ownership time. 6-8 times out of 10, i would've made mo0ney so the key is just repeating these trades over and over and cutting losses quickly, which i did.

i'm so sick of idiots like you who don't understand how to trade smallcaps. not saying my strategy is the best but its always worked for me and i think it'll work for others too, especially if they can learn from my mistakes.

as for going form 12k to 0 fast---uhhhhh after 3 months of doing this, i'm up 25%, what don't u understand about cutting losses quickly?

Re: Some Potential Plays But I Also Need Your Help

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:29:27 -0000

Done what during the bubble? Do you not realize I made my second million in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 with this exact strategy? You haters have really gotta learn to do some research, you just shoot yourselves in the foot with your assumptions. And of course I'm doing all this to make money, but the best way for me to make money is if my readers do well. And its incredibly fun to rip idiots like you apart and cut through all the BS out there

As for reading a chart, you've proven yourself to be blind and dumb, this was COIN's 6th attempt to break $10.50--it was the only one that held. Solid chart to buy into.

Re: I Have The Dark Gift: Why I’m Better At Shorting Than Buying

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:07:26 -0000

I don't care if COIN news was fake and put out by a short seller--it influenced the price so I reacted. This is the main problem traders have, they form opinions and attachments. I think COIN is a total POS, but it doesn't influence my trading at all. I don't care, I buy on breakouts and short sell breakdowns, the more perfect the pattern, the greater position I have.

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:05:58 -0000

IDMI does not look liek a short here, yes it could go down, but where to---support at $2.40. Just as likely to squeeze early shorts to $3.20 and maybe more. bad risk-reward. wait for signs of fading first, right now i just see higher intraday bottoms...remember the best opportunities come about when others are panicking...hope to be back before the close...wait til u guys see this interview sunday morning between 9 and 10:30am, its awesome

Re: I Have The Dark Gift: Why I’m Better At Shorting Than Buying

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:49:42 -0000

really gotta learn to take my own advice, shorted 1k IDMI at 2.91, another 1k at 3.23, average of 3.07--no matter what happens this is a bad trade, didn't wait for signs of cracking, too hungry for profits, the overall market tanking might save me but learn what not to do!

Re: I Have The Dark Gift: Why I’m Better At Shorting Than Buying

covered 3/4 of my position for a 12 cent loss, not too bad, stupid, stupid trade though

Re: I Have The Dark Gift: Why I’m Better At Shorting Than Buying

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:27:06 -0000

why short EYE or AMKR--both charts look verrrrry bullish

never ever short earnings plays--everyone has different expectations. look at bidu, common sense would tell u it should get crushed after guiding lower and being priced so highly. expectations...expectations...and those arent in any PRs, they're just reflected in price action

i have to watch my DVD too, godamn i'm undisciplined!

as for EYE, why in the world would u short it? just broke out today (1st big up day) of a nice multi-day, multi-month base on strong volume and earnings. the DVD preaches only shorting stocks without news, that are up exponentially over the past few days and are rolling over

For the not so last time, Thinkorswim lets you short down to who knows how low--thought it was $3 limit, but they've let me short anything and I'm not complaining. Brokers like Scottrade suck, if you wanna play the PennyStocking game, you gotta switch

i'm short 1,200 IDMI at 3.43, definitely too early, but my schedule today is ridiculously busy so i got in a bit. either gonna take a 50 cent/share profit or get squeezed and add higher. all my trades on this one yesterday and i lost like $8, after commissions. what a joke, good thing this CBS Sunday Morning interview is about trading addiction, I definitely have one!

Re: I Have The Dark Gift: Why I’m Better At Shorting Than Buying

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:04:14 -0000

I covered my 1,200 from 3.02 at 2.93 after hours last night cuz i had too much crap to do this morning. turned out to be the right decision. if you're not gonna wait for the proper price action, u gotta be quick.

Seth Doane I think was my interviewers name

Re: I Have The Dark Gift: Why I’m Better At Shorting Than Buying

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:09:40 -0000

if u have plenty of time today (unlike me), IDMI is now exhibiting some nice sideways price action--if it cracks $3.30 to the downside, it's practically a guarnateed goner....but if it takes out $3.60 to the upper, it could have a nice Friday afternoon squeeze, no point in shorting or buying until those points

Re: I Have The Dark Gift: Why I’m Better At Shorting Than Buying

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:43:27 -0000

covered my IDMI at 3.19, horrible timer as usual, but i'm happier that the stock acted PERFECTLY from 3.30 to 3.05ish within 10min...THAT WAS PREDICTABLE AND THAT'S WHAT I MEAN WHEN I LOOK FOR STOCKS CRACKING PERFECT SIDEWAYS PRICE ACTION

Re: I Have The Dark Gift: Why I’m Better At Shorting Than Buying

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:45:52 -0000

back in short IDMI at 3.28, liking this slow volume sideways action under the 3.30 resistance. think it goes back to the days lows, maybe more

Re: I Have The Dark Gift: Why I’m Better At Shorting Than Buying

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 14:20:00 -0000

Out of IDMI, TIM new high $15,220, no like being short stocks that are still green on friday afternoons. odds are it goes below $3, but spike still possible. wish me congrats and get this posts' comments over 100 comments!!!

Re: 36 Hours In The Life Of A Trading Addict

Timothy Sykes — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:02:23 -0000

SOMX has to get to the 8-10 range in the next few days to make it worth my time...think big gains

CEGE has to get to 4...news wasn't fluff as evidenced by late day runup, fluff news is defined by a quick irrational spike followed by rational sellers entering

shorting microcaps is not easy, really gotta find stocks up 100-300% within days to make the risk reward favorable

I like the idea, but I keep everything to a bare minimum. Never watch Bloomberg/CNBC cuz its all irrelevant to my stocks. Don't follow breaking news because i prefer to react to the patterns that form due to people's reactions to the news, so it's very far removed, not as stressful/higher percentages. finance show, there is none, i like wallstirp for entertainment, thats about it. vast majority of people in finance are too boring to interest me. no cool software, just etrade pro and thinkorswim. see my library page for all my books, book reviews will start to be posted on this blog once i have some more time...

Rich, you obviously haven't read my book/watched my DVD and/or you're a little sissy girl yourself. I've replicated my original success in hundreds of trades. it's when i get too greedy and ignore the setups that work so well--but come about so rarely--that gets me into trouble and is the cause of ALL my losses. i've got 9 years of real world trading data to back me up, but have no fear, by the time i repeat my feat, there'll be another 9 years or so of data for you little sisy girls to comb through

Re: The Importance Of Getting The Odds On Your Side And Not Being Overly Boring

Timothy Sykes — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 15:02:19 -0000

Sure, value investing is much easier, and if you want to take the easy way out, by all means do it, but you're not gonna learn much about yourself or have the opportunity to build any character. trading teaches you more about the world than you ever thought possible. i have no "preliminary stocks" right now, i just watch a lot of stocks, none of which are worth my time right now.

and i don't mind boring strategies, i love those, i just don't like boring people!

Re: The Importance Of Getting The Odds On Your Side And Not Being Overly Boring

Timothy Sykes — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 16:12:54 -0000

LOL, I lost money when I tried investing! If I stick to my trusty charts, I'm always safe. Only risk is getting halted or news. Tell me this, how long would it take to turn $12k into $2 million using value investing? Exactly, you'd be as old as Buffett. If you're lucky.

The truth is trading is IDEAL for smaller investors looking to become wealthy.

Re: The Importance Of Getting The Odds On Your Side And Not Being Overly Boring

Timothy Sykes — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 16:15:38 -0000

PS 9/10 traders do lose money, but then again, most investors fail to beat the indexes so neither strategy is perfect. Best hope is to learn to be one of those 1/10 traders who do make money because even if you beat the average as a value investors, your upside is severely limited.

And 30% drawdowns, while difficult, should not be considered failure. they're actually great for your mindset!

booby because if you did your research, you'd see my one big loss came from when i ignored my trading rules. it actually helps strengthen my convictions and others convictions in how u should play these stocks. trust me, the book income isn't that much, i could easily make more promoting penny stocks, especially with my exposure, but u have no idea how good it feels to just tell the truth, the good and the bad.

Re: Timothy Sykes On CBS Sunday Morning

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 16:33:21 -0000

Speech went great so I'll def. be at more Trading Expos/Money hows--gotta cut through all the BS there too.

The $12k to $1.65mil was before I started the hedge fund, the $12k to $2mil was after 2 years of running my fund (prevented from talking about how much my fund made during WSW) and the $12k to millions is what I've made over the years--CBS cut off the part where I say I've made millions and lost hundreds of thousands. its not embellishment, its how u look at it and more importantly, how its edited! Career earnings are around $3-4mil. the specifics arent even importat, i'm not a great trader, i fully expect to teach someone to be able to turn $12k into $10mil+

i bet you're beating me to 25k, i've got too much goin on, not well prepared for trading such a small amount right now, but i'm getting better at adjusting...

Re: Timothy Sykes On CBS Sunday Morning

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 11:10:13 -0000

Anybody else here playing IDMI? Love how big buy blocks of 40k, 35k and 25k all showed themselves around 3.22, 3.23, only to disappear a few minutes later as the goes to 3.20 on 1,000 share sell. Gotta love those games!

Re: Timothy Sykes On CBS Sunday Morning

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 11:56:02 -0000

IDMI--volume faded bigtime, big sell blocks coming in above, unless it gets some big buying or spiking, its either gonna be barely positive for the day or negative, a great sign of a reversal. if we can take out 3.15, panic might take this to $3ish, then if we take out that level, 2.80-2.90 seems likely. we'll see, could spike still, i'd feel a lot more comfortable if we took out 3.15

SWC--who knows when this thing stops, i'm def.not shorting or buying

ILDS is a takeover, useless.

Re: Timothy Sykes On CBS Sunday Morning

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 11:56:55 -0000

Out of IDMI at $3.20, i don't like this bottoming here, too much risk of spiking as i said in my last comment

Re: Timothy Sykes On CBS Sunday Morning

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:18:33 -0000

damn squeezed out by a fakeout, idmi right back to the key 3.15, looks like it'll take it out this time. damn, too squirmish

I'll play COIN if and when it breaks its range, I don't do rangebound trades

Tony, check out my DVD package, it comes with an instruction manual and an autographed book, its meant for beginners, will teach u the risks and rewards of smallcap daytrading--very diff. than other market segments. I can't recommend others because the ones I've seen are all crap.

FRPT, see my next post

FORUMS--yes forums will be much easier for everyone since its divided up. u can start posting there, i'll have an official link tonight.

IDMI--until it cracks $3, this one is bottoming higher and higher. no likie to short

I'd love OXFD to keep going, good find!

SWC not even close to being a breakout, lots of resistance in the $19 range and then if u go back a few years, all the way up to $40. and its NYSe--meaing its not as crappy. and its a metal play. not my kind of stock AT ALL

Re: The 1st Annual TimothySykes.com Crap Company Chart Pattern Awards

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:21:20 -0000

correct and even if it breaks $32, I gotta see how it does it considering breakouts arent easy in this market. Not that I think it'll get to $32 anytime soon

Re: Some Signs Of Life In Several Small Caps

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 09:23:15 -0000

APWr might not break out, but it's def. not a short here--guys gotta learn just cuz something isn't a buy, doesn't make it a sell. there's an entire realm of "avoid because its too iffy either way" that really applies to most stocks. APWR, you have $1 of downside potential and $2-3 of upside--not good risk-reward right now for shorts

Re: Some Signs Of Life In Several Small Caps

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 09:27:19 -0000

ivan you just gotta read more, i've talked about severa patterns to short. if u want charts, click the charts tab at the bottom of the page, basically stocks up 100-300% in a few days, fading volume, fading stock price intraday, liek to short on 2-4th day of the runup, especially if the news is fluff. my DVD goes into more detail

Re: Some Signs Of Life In Several Small Caps

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 09:32:19 -0000

out of APWR at 18.22, lost a quarter, boo o hoo, not risking anything with oil down, the market down, solars getting killed.

IDMI is painful, gotta learn to not get so faked out when i cant day trade

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:26:12 -0000

ivan, ytec is a potential breakout play, not a short. its not up 300% in a few days on fluff, it has earnings, yes its probly a double top but risk reward isnt good.

Re: Some Signs Of Life In Several Small Caps

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:42:27 -0000

nice cege trade, my 1,000 share short at $3.35 missed by 3 cents, buuuut wasn't a perfect chart so i wasn't aggressive. IDMI acting perfect for shorts and APWR perfect for longs, this is why i teach not just trade!

Re: Some Signs Of Life In Several Small Caps

Re: Some Signs Of Life In Several Small Caps

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 15:52:12 -0000

Covered my IDMI at $2.54. Would hold but got a ton of meetings all day tomorrow. Still an easy and more importantly a predictable 17 cents/share, $150 profit on TIM's current assets, easily could scale up to a position 20-50x the size

Re: Some Signs Of Life In Several Small Caps

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:04:51 -0000

i'll have a detailed post on idmi later, but damn COIN, another stinger, the tagline of my website should be "he doesn't know how to trade 'em, but damn can he pick em"

sorry i know the PCLN question isn't meant for me, but no way in hell should u short that. never short an earnings mover for once, but this is a bigtime breakout on earnings! its pretty much the most reliably bullish sign u can get. 3rd straight quarter, last 2, solid uptrending, shorts have gotta be getting tired. reminds me of RIMM or GRMN back when they were climbing

COIN was a quick trade between meetings. intraday meetings screw everything up. an ideal short obviously woulda been at $12.60, when it broke a little intraday support. again, just a little trade. coin isn't really a short until it goes negative and even then, its a breakout on a multi-day basis so u should be long biased ont he stock, especially if it can break $14. volume is weak though, lots of sellers everywhere

I ention an SEC halt because thats what happened to a very similar POS company, CAFE. Read my book for all the details. I could care less about psyching out longs or shorts, I just call it the way it is.

You can't look at the market to pay you per hour. This isn't some BS fee-based biz, this is researched gambling. Its an education--actually pretty amazing that u can learn so much even while making money, wish college tuition was like that!

You will deal with the ads, until somebody else as honest as me comes along, you have no other choice. And yes, when I close down my paying business, I need to still earn a buck for all my work.

Penny stocks all have similar characterisitics, they're POS companies, hyped up from time to time, played by day traders, are low priced, COIN, APWR, they're all the same, whether they spike up a little more than others ar enot. just a general term really. lesser marketers would call their DVD "POSstocking"

Re: How To Play Converted Organics (COIN)

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:38:29 -0000

who knows and who cares when the COIN bubble burst, it needs to take out support levels first, that'd be a sign but right now this is still a major breakout and now with some consolidation...it could be a fakeout breakout, but then it'd have to break below $10 to confirm that....aka bubble aint bursting anytime soon

Re: How To Play Converted Organics (COIN)

Re: How To Play Converted Organics (COIN)

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:55:11 -0000

APWR is a Chinese smallcap, enough said.

FRPT, I dunno, its not a very reliable chart pattern to buy into, but usually good news, late day sell offs are followed by a 10-30 cent gap and spike the next morning. the weekend helps. we'll see, not definite by any means

No lessons about scoring chicks, don't know much about that :)

CEGE is just like any other smallcap bounce, yeah they could come out with mroe positive news and spike further, but the odds are against it, as evidenced by its near perfect bearish chart. I play the odds and avoid CEGE

Chris, I could care less about the quality of FRPT's product, don't drink the Kool-Aid. FRPT was a penny stock long before the war began and the odds are high thats where they'll remain now that the war is all messed up. The fact that big firms are taking positions only reduced FRPT's credibility, 70% of those firms underpform the market, they're monkeys throwing darts, again, don't drink the Kool-Aid. And finally FRPT's management is crap. Only your chart can save you now.

Timothy Sykes — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 13:54:52 -0000

I could care less about moving averages, I buy into breakouts. Normally I do best by buying into stocks breaking out to new highs, but for FRPT, $5.25 looks to be a key point. And I wouldn't be so proud of Friday's action, it was all jut a spike at the open followed by steady downtrending...

Re: Two Examples Why You Should Never Underestimate Takeover Rumors

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 11:15:02 -0000

good exit int he grand scheme of things but when it takes out a key level like $9, there's no reason to cover immediately because the longs are on the run--$8.50-$8.55 would've been ideal, but anywhere between $8.60-$8.75 would be decent

Re: Two Examples Why You Should Never Underestimate Takeover Rumors

Re: Two Examples Why You Should Never Underestimate Takeover Rumors

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:10:32 -0000

and PS COIN is not looking like a short, this stock is still above a multi-week base and has now bounced off suport. stop treating it like a rangebound stock and treat it as it is, a breakout play. also rumors of a big new contract don't help

Re: Two Examples Why You Should Never Underestimate Takeover Rumors

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:20:40 -0000

and COIN is not up for no reason, its squeezing the shorts cuz they thought it'd crack 11.50 resistance...just strengthens the case this is a breakout.

SHZ, no idea if its a short yet, probly not, could have another morning squeeze

CRME just as dangerous to short as a takeover candidate, considering gaming FDA approval is impossible

Re: Welcome To Festival of Stocks #77, aka The Jungle!

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:56:40 -0000

CPSt moves too slow, i'll call a breakout at $2, until then its just boring.

DO NOT SHORT COIN. IT IS BREAKING OUT. ONLY RESISTANCE IS AT $14. EVEN IF IT GOES DOWN HERE, RISK REWARD SUCKS. FAVORS BUYING THE BREAKOUT

Re: Two PennyStocking Plays Setting Up For Pattern Perfection

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 10:54:10 -0000

Re: Two PennyStocking Plays Setting Up For Pattern Perfection

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 11:02:41 -0000

Re: Two PennyStocking Plays Setting Up For Pattern Perfection

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 11:46:18 -0000

SHZ i'm gonna look to short before the close if it remains weak. still a chance of an intraday spike, especially since its such low volume. shorting at 8, thats tough, not even sure the run is over, depends on your ability to deal with pain and your tie horizon. 3 months from now you'll probly be fine, but its not definite and this kind of crap can run to 20, although the odds are against that too

Re: Two PennyStocking Plays Setting Up For Pattern Perfection

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:43:47 -0000

COIN is a good pattern, but with this confirmed breakout, its not even close to going down. sure news, collapse could happen at anytime, but the sideways action is bullish because its holding its gain. i short when sideways action when its down slightly cracks, right now the odds favor a bigtime breakout, but i'm not buying cuz i've got to conserve my day trades

Re: Two PennyStocking Plays Setting Up For Pattern Perfection

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:44:32 -0000

and also "its got to go down sometime" is what all the shorts who are getting squeezed are thinking, if it goes up a lot, they'll cover, pushing it up even ore and creating a real spike

Re: Two PennyStocking Plays Setting Up For Pattern Perfection

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 14:08:12 -0000

within 15 minutes, takes out $8, now $7.80, beautiful crack of sideways price action, still up 100% in 2 days, i want more!!!

Re: Two PennyStocking Plays Setting Up For Pattern Perfection

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 14:15:31 -0000

COIN no matter to me, now I'm short SHZ, much more predictable pattern and I'm already up 50 cents in 15 minutes...

Re: Lack Of Patience And Discipline Causes Trading Losses

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 14:22:37 -0000

SHZ is the latest crap penny stock tp be pumped up. gotta watch out for spikes but i'm comforted by the big bloc sell orders around $8. if it cracks $7.70 area, could easily go down to $7 and below, remember it was just $4 the other day

Re: Lack Of Patience And Discipline Causes Trading Losses

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 14:46:21 -0000

Covered my SHZ + 75 cents/share, $400. just gotta wait for those perfect charts. memorize, up 50% 2 days in a row, no news, sketcky company, negative on the third day, cracks sideways price action, rinse and repeat

Re: Lack Of Patience And Discipline Causes Trading Losses

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:58:44 -0000

ah COIN, 13.50 turned out to be a great short, u could take a little pain. hence the reason i prefer shorting in the afternoon where there was no pain whatsoever. gotta recognize this or have the buying power to be able to short whenever u feel like it!

nice short on DARA, what broker did u use to find shares--rare instance when TOS has none.

COIN--5 mil was just a round number, basically to break and hold $14, volume really needed to explode cuz there's lots of sellers. it didn't get that, hence my short

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 10:00:39 -0000

AGIX still sucks! its not volatile enough for e, its not my chart pattern, like i said let me know when it gets p to $2 or $3, then i might play it. theres tons of moves i'll miss, but i stick to whats worked for me.

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 23:28:16 -0000

COIN will die eventually but the break abover 11.50 is so bullish its scary. gotta wait for the momo to die out, tomorrow's SEED's nasty report should hurt cOIN a bit, we'll see how it acts

I watch thousands of stocks, doesnt mean i'm gonna play them. Tomorrow only ideal play for me is DARA, multi-day exponential setups, thats what i like

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 23:30:09 -0000

no idea if any of these fraudulent, i dont want to know, if i did, i'd have to post my research and risk getting my kneecaps smashed. forget that. safe to assume the worst in all of them, it'll help u remain unbiased against their perfectly sugarcoated PRs and exuberant management who always says the future looks bright. gotta hedge your emotions or risk getting sucked in by their kool-aid

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:06:16 -0000

i dounno what TOS's deal is with pattern day trading, they let me trade as long as i don't abuse margin, so that means like 1-2 trades/day but no more

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 07:58:45 -0000

Woooohoooo got 1000 shares of DARA reserved short for the day, c'mon morning spikeness!

I use margin to short, I stay away from leverage, that way for all my mistakes, I never risk disaster

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 09:27:08 -0000

i suck at longs and i don't see any clear breakouts, no idea whats going up

just shorted some DARA at $5.35, only a small position, have more shares to short on the way up, but i'm too afraid this thing will collapse without me.

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 09:51:50 -0000

added some more to my DARA at 5.53

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 09:56:41 -0000

total average 5.42,,,, i suck at timing but u gotta love this strategy, now 512 x 5.25, can't wait til we take out those stops at 5 either late morning or afternoon!

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:08:52 -0000

GET OUT OF SCOTTRADE!

DARA bouncin a little here, but not a big deal, sellers just took out a 10k buy block at 5.31 in less than 2 minutes, somehow i doubt buyers would be able to do such a feat at these prices

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:15:24 -0000

excellent price action, right back to 5.05 x 5.20, the 5s are gonna try and hold for a bit, but i just don't see some short seller or scared seller not coming in and taking them out sometime today. then we're talking 4.60-4.80 and TIM $16.5k!

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:20:20 -0000

got faked out by those big block buyers, i'm all out at 5.15. what a horrible exit, have fun guys, this is going under 5

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:23:50 -0000

of course i should have held, but i also have meetings today and my screwed up entry too made me average up, so this was a $7,500 position for me, waaaaay too large, can't risk it away form a computer. i wouldn't be surprised to see 4.50 on this today. still TIM $16k. horrible trader, great strategy, same old same old

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:28:23 -0000

there was a big buy block at 5.10, probly just a short seller putting in a fake buy order, trying to scare bitches like me into covering. it held 4.90 this time, so i'm not totally crazy, just disappointed as usual

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:37:31 -0000

it spikes in the A because early shorts are getting squeezed...judging by this morning's action, yes, it might bounce and stay positive, but it looks liek the squeeze is mostly over. if it acts like i think it will, we'll have sideways price action followed by an afternoon fade---thats the time to go short and probly hold that overnight down to $4

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:57:08 -0000

Aegir, read the comments, its all there, I'm out

I dunno about $4 tomorrow but probly in the next few days, lots of bitter shareholders happy to get out on any bounce

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 11:00:31 -0000

4.73. god i hate myself. welcome to my business model, watch TIM screw up completely, know he's screwed up, unable to get back in due to ridiculous rules, and watch his readers reap all the rewards...TIM $16k, only $9k off from freedom!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 11:18:08 -0000

who cares who brought what stock where. DARA popped up on about a dozen of my technical screens. here there will be no praise given for finding stocks, finding stocks is easy....praise will only be given for finding patterns or for playing those patterns correctly based on previous patterns. we're not stock pickers, we're pattern players

Re: Timothy Sykes Is Sssssssso Ssssssstupid!

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 11:31:38 -0000

i see the idmi spike, no way to buy or short it, still mid-range

no other picsk on my radar other than VISN which i posted about last night

no humble pie needed, it was a good find, i just want people to bring me patterns instead of stocks.

Fees are minimal, commissions negligible. Taxes suck, but thats the price u pay for being a speculator. These profits and losses are after fees and commissions but before. Good news for me is I have a $300k loss I'm working off so I've got a ways to go before I have to worry about taxes anytime soon

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:17:59 -0000

Dav what don't u understand about me not giving a crap about AGIX until it show me some real volatility? Look at my biggest success, IDMI, SHV, DARA, all up 200%+ in the days prior.

DARA, shorts forgot that it still hasn't had a down day yet, even though it looks like these stocks should go straight and straight down, it doesnt work that way, usually need sideways price action for a bit first, only reason i made $ is cuz i shorted into the spike--not very well--but thats the only way to play until that sideways price action is breached...hopefully it squeezes them more into the close or tomorrow morning. Even it fades now, possible morning spike tomorrow.

Re: Hey, I May Be Stupid, But I’ve Got A Great Strategy, aka Anyone Can Do This!

GENC i meant volume is so low for me to take any position, even a few hundred shares impacts price. i prefer liquid names

Re: 7 Stocks You Shouldn’t Trade, Long Or Short

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:53:20 -0000

I agree that COIN looks good for a longer term short, but you forget how few options I have with TIM this small. I must stay nimble and the $2-ish downside potential for COIN over the next few days isn't worth my time as I'd only have 200-300 shares and there's still a huge risk of spiking. There's plenty of decent trades like this out there, but until I have enough assets, I'll ignore them all and people with similar sized accounts should too. This is why I stress focusing on only the most ideal trades--COIN is not ideal

PS No telling how COIN woulda performed today if SEED hadn't bombed so badly. News interferes with reading chart patterns, understand that

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:54:51 -0000

Tony, 314 shares is better than nothing!

As for not playing earnings plays--simply too many different expectations. I would buy a strong breakout as those have a tendency to really run but every other pattern is just too damn unpredictable. Kinda liek FDA approval

Re: 7 Stocks You Shouldn’t Trade, Long Or Short

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 12:45:43 -0000

JRJC, who knows, i don't l ike earnings plays unless they're new breakouts

COIN--sorry shorts, thats what u get for ignoring the multi-week breakout

MACD, RSI, nah I just keep it simple, price and volume. it's all one big self fulfilling prophecy so the more people that use an indicator, the more likely its reliability. not enough MACD, RSI, fibonacci freaks in this sector to be very useful

EXACTLY! That's why I always say I learned more from losing hundreds of thousands of dollars than I did from making millions. I'm not ashamed/embarrassed, I've been Forrest Gumping my way through this all along so I was due for a fall. The good nes is that it makes me infinitely stronger/wiser/more conservative, so while it definitely sucks, I'm very thankful to have learned those lessons at such a young age so I can apply, apply and teach, teach them!

Re: Sykes’ Saturday Seventeen: March 1st, 2008 Edition

Timothy Sykes — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 16:06:06 -0000

Motley Fool, TheStreet.com, all these media outlets only care about hits, none of them do very well with their picks because they simply just have to write about the most actively traded stocks. Thats why I see soo much opportunity in getting less hits/traffic but covering stuff that actually works!

Yes I was successful at the start and for all my mistakes, I' 30% off y highs. Boo hoo, the keys to my success are hard work and honesty. I still work 20 hour days and whether my strategy continues to outperform or not, people will continue to come to me because they know I hold nothing back. My work is my life and nothing is more fulfilling than cutting through all the frauds/BS out there who market their way to popularity. All I can do is write about and teach what I know to be true, for better or worse. In time, honesty shall prevail

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 12:26:32 -0000

see the comments section on posts about IDMI, DARA, COIN and SHZ, my readers are having more success than me! as for my pickiness in plays, thats how i do it, thats what i teach, thats whats ideal for people that cant trade every second and most importantly for smaller investors. for one reason or another, most plays are completely random and by focusing on them, thats why people lose $ trading. i hold my students to higher standards. we wait for all the variables to be aligned. here are quotes to live by:

Wait for the fat pitch. - Warren Buffett: comparing investing to a baseball game where you can wait endlessly for the perfect pitch before you swing.

I only go to work on the days that make sense to go to work...And I really do something on that day. But you go to work and you do something every day and you don't realize when it's a special day. - George Soros talking to Byron Wien

His first conclusion was that he won when all the factors were in his favor, when he was patient and waited for all the ducks to line up in a row. - from Jesse Livermore, Worlds Greatest Stock Trader

Profits can be made safely only when the opportunity is available and not just because they happen to be desired or needed. ...Willingness and ability to hold funds uninvested while awaiting real opportunities is a key to success in the battle for investment survival.- Gerald Loeb

You make money on wall street by being very selective and being patient, waiting for those opportunities that are irresistible, where the percentages are very heavily in your favor.- Seth Glickenhaus

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 10:48:00 -0000

coin is a doubly confirmed breakout, where is your short gonna go, u might make $1 u might lose $1, no edge in shorting this strong a pattern. its really only gonna tank $2-$4 when theres much less volume and the chart looks like its rolling over. for now its just a stock fighting lots of demons, its pathetic that it cant really breakout with this strong a base and i think it goes back to how shady the company is, aka shorts aren't panicking, they're just adding to their positions

STEN, gary look in the forums, i posted why it does NOT fit the model--namly too low marketcap, solid earnings

Re: A Solid Trade Executed During A Live Radio Interview

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:51:03 -0000

i dont pay much mind the haters--especially on ET where nobody ever loses money (even though in reality 95% of traders lose, aka these cowards are ashamed of posting the harsh truth)--because everyone and i mean everyone in this industry hides behind aliases and lawyers. i lay it out all out there, u wanna attack me, fine, but be prepared for me to defend myself cuz i got nothing to hide. some people think my "its sad that honesty is a revolutionary business model in finance" line is some arketing thing---how can honesty ever be confused with marketing?

all i know if that this pennystocking stuff works, i'm not great at it and i think i can teach others to do better. all be resolved eventually so lets see what happens. so far, i've been proving my ideas nearly every week while ETers just trash talk and blah blah, not worth wasting my time on losers

JMAN, aka typical snobby finance scum, the $140 does not matter, its the process. i could take on that same pattern with 1,000 shares, 10,000 and even 100,000 shares. its still too funny to me that the scum in this industry have such trouble understanding what i'm doing here. i guess greed really does blind people, sorry man, i don't envy u

COIN impressed me with its comeback today, it held its breakout perfectly, i wouldnt be shorting anytime soon, remember last time it spiked it went from 7 to 14 in 2 days, now it could easily hit 20 or even 25 if the squeeze is on

Re: Why Fictional Memoirs Exemplify The BullShip World All Around Us And Must Be Taught A Lesson

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 18:02:00 -0000

ahhh shorting a microcrapper like COIN too early and being determined to hold, i thought perhaps i could save u guys from shorting BEFORE a potential short squeeze, but i see my words are no use. u could be might but the risk reward here is soooo bad, u might just have to experience a bad short squeeze first and then maybe u'll learn

Re: Why Fictional Memoirs Exemplify The BullShip World All Around Us And Must Be Taught A Lesson

Dude, stop polluting my boards with your crap, we play patterns here, we don't give into the BS being spouted by pumpers like u. COIN's a solidly bullish pattern, congrats, just dont forget to take your profits

Re: Where The Volatility Is, aka 5 Potential PennyStocking Plays

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:16:40 -0000

swc $20 is just 1 potential pivot price that usually works well for shorts, who knows and who cares if its gonna go higher before then. qbik is too boring illiquid for me. best trader was stevie cohen

covestor, who knows probly will take a while

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:34:34 -0000

u can buy them on the way up, into a strong close on the first day of the runup, at my current asset level, i just can't risk any excess capital/trades on those less reliable setups...once i get over 30kish i can take on some of them

Re: Where The Volatility Is, aka 5 Potential PennyStocking Plays

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:28:40 -0000

hahah too funny! PR guy is shady, along with all these pumpers. and there's a million stocks with great stories, like i've said 5030594934 times, only 2 of these microcrap momos have ever remained above $50. actually business is not as easy as most people expect. read my damn book and u'll see that. oh yes, i got suckered once by a company with a seemingly bright future. that said, i think there's a lot of shorts that are too early so i hope they do get squeezed, will make for some great volatility.

Re: Where The Volatility Is, aka 5 Potential PennyStocking Plays

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:13:21 -0000

yes but the odds of predicting COINW to go up tenfold are slim. u could make that play with dozens of microcap warrant plays and just about every time, u'd lose all your or most of your money. don't start thinking like a penny stock sucker, just focus on small high probability gains

Re: Where The Volatility Is, aka 5 Potential PennyStocking Plays

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:45:45 -0000

can't find any STEN to short, damn, anybody else?

SWC really pathetic open, took out $20, but only went to $19.70, i'll probly avoid.

COIN, nice morning spike but buyers just can't hold gains

Re: Where The Volatility Is, aka 5 Potential PennyStocking Plays

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 10:05:46 -0000

i'm not interested in shorting STEN at current levels, but i gotta be prepared for a $2ish spike cuz then i would take a small short position of 500 shares or so and look to profit $300-$600. buuuuuuuuut i can't find any shares :(

Re: Where The Volatility Is, aka 5 Potential PennyStocking Plays

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 10:17:46 -0000

nah i wouldnt be scalping COIN anyway, u know how bad a timer i am, i need $2+ price swings to comfortably profit 50-75 cents/share and going for 15-40 cent/share profits is tough work, aka it sux! its really too expensive for TIM unless it makes it a big move, which it seemingly can't

JMAN, i have a decade of experience in this niche, i know it, i'm gonna get others to know it. my plays are volatile, much moreso than crap like C, the odds are just better down in the gutter, trust me, u'll see that if u give me a chance

plenty of COIN to short at thinkorswim, no COINZ or COINW though

ask visa question in the forums, under what do u think about this stock, getting too many emails about it

Coin idiot, I don't care about your picks, when u write in all caps and talk nonsense, its no wonder nobody listens to u. i play patterns here predictable patterns, patterns that are right for everyone and are not as risky as palying the warrants of a shady company that has equal chances of spiking or getting halted by the SEC. for future reference, i'm gonna miss a ton of "good picks" but i'm also gonna miss a lot of bad ones. stick to what u know

nice cover on STEN. it could spike again, but who knows, thats a solid profit, move on. PS early morning spike was due to short covering, very tough for these plays to hold 3 days gains though, great trade, wish it was me!

Re: TIM - Transparent Investment Management

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 01:48:24 -0000

I trade as many stocks that fit the patterns I look for, sometimes its 3-5, but usually it's just 1-2. Also, since I'm under $25k, I'm limited in how many trades I can make.

My sell on COIN was after-hours, actually missed the top by about 20 cents, but I had a meeting the next morning so I couldn't risk it. All my trades are verified by Covestor who taps into my brokerage account.

If the stocks are liquid enough and I have time, I post real-tie in the comments section of whatever blog post is up and in the forums. I really don't want to deal with front running and I'd rather teach people the process than to allow them to just ride my coattails. Since I'm not a great trader, students of my DVD will pick these patterns up sooner, so, ideally, one day I won't even be needed anymore and I'll be free of these patterns that have basically haunted me for the past decade (I can't help but profit from them!)

Re: Young Or Old, Rich Or Poor, You Will Give In To TIM

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 09:48:03 -0000

ETFs are not stocks! I don't play market guessing games, when I say its all in the charts, I'm talking about being able to predict specific movements based on patterns that influence others trading. ETFs don't care about individual traders, they, like gold and oil plays, move based on the prices of their components. Verrrrrrry different. I play market in efficienices. Learn the difference

Re: Young Or Old, Rich Or Poor, You Will Give In To TIM

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:16:16 -0000

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:40:05 -0000

search for the term "afternoon fade" in my blog posts about when to short a stock like COIN. or into a ridiculous spike. there's no formula, u gotta play it by year. SWC acted weird cuz it's a metals play, thats why i avoided it.

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 09:58:24 -0000

oh don't get me wrong, u can have plenty of gains buying other patterns, u also just risk disaster. TMA could stop trading, COIN could go in a multi-$ plunge. but posting your entries and exits is meaningless...these are lesser reliable patterns and people lie (nobody on Elitetrader loses $ LOL)....

just reserved the COINW shares, gotta wait and see if todays the day or not

Re: A TIMer’s Dozen: Recent And Current PennyStocking Plays

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:52:11 -0000

those of u emailing me why i'm short COINW--first of all its a play on COIN, i just couldnt find any COIN shares to short. yes i, and u, should usually wait til the afternoon to short these runners, but the spread on COINW (usually 25 cents) and the $1.5 morning surge off its low on COIN (which still only made it slightly positive on the day) added to the fact that the run ended just below yesterday top (double-top?) all leads me to believe i want to be short rather than later (even if it held those gains, it'd still be a bad day for the momentum folks because with this strong a breakout, the stock should be up $1-2 daily) (if it doesnt hold its gains, it'll be down on the day--students of my DVD know to short on the first down day--so monday theoretically should be ugly). so i'm a bit early--as usual--but my 300 shares at 12.35 make it only a $4k-ish position, so i can afford to hold a bit.

30 min into the trade COIN has cracked back negative on the day, COINW is trading at 11.80 x 12.20 (ridiculous 40 cent spread) and I'm up $150 or os (if i cover at the bid, which i'd probly only get a partial fill anyway, and i want a bigger $ gain)

Re: A TIMer’s Dozen: Recent And Current PennyStocking Plays

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:58:15 -0000

I'm out at $11.34...probly too early, but I just don't trust COIN, every dip has been followed by a surge, this time could be different by only a 50/50 chance, not good enough for me. $300 profit and an 8% gain in 2 hours IS good enough for me...TIM $16.4k...lesson taught...time to catch up on this week's emails

Re: A TIMer’s Dozen: Recent And Current PennyStocking Plays

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 12:23:47 -0000

COINZMasterbater--u just don't get it, i have plenty of cash to live on while TIM is so low, but there's simply no way to teach people who have small accounts from me trading a big account. serves no purpose other than putting too much emphasis on ym trading gains and not enough on teaching. its good for me to make so little, makes me teach more to make more from my book/dvd/website.

and its gonna be soooo sweet to repeat my feat, smack in the faces of ignorant people who hate and refuse to learn the details. i have no problem with haters, just make sure u come at me with facts, not just your uneducated opinion

ha I dunno man, I just write down everything I'm thinking, I don't care if I'm a star or not, I will teach people to trade like me and have success doing so

Re: Trial By Economic Jury: Are You Innocent Or Guilty?

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 15:50:44 -0000

I have plenty of compassion, just not for ignorant people. I have no problem with a little debt, but you gotta remember I got a big ass chip on my shoulder thanks to people ripping my short bias strategy. So dont mind me if I take the bitter road every now and then as I prove this strategy is ideal for small investors/traders.

PS To learn how to trade like e, its not just trading strategy posts, its life lesson posts. Who knows, maybe somebody will take all the junk in my head and do something with it that's much greater than I ever could

And no i never asked to be a star, i just have a big mouth and i'm gonna use it to decimate all the BS out there

Re: Trial By Economic Jury: Are You Innocent Or Guilty?

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 16:03:11 -0000

EVERYBODY rips on short selling penny stocks/microcaps. u don't see their comments here because i prove day in and day out why it does work, buuuuuuuuuuut there's still very far to go before mainstream acceptance, that will take a while.

the chip on the shoulder works wonders motivation-wise, before i was content taking my little profits, living a nice vacation filled life, but now that i see all these "experts" out there giving BS advice and how all the misinformation has stunted education in this industry, i can't but help feel its my mission to cut through everything and help people. i'm no saint, i also see opportunity, but the sad reality is that brutal honesty is a revolutionary business model in finance!

Re: TIM - Transparent Investment Management

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:24:13 -0000

I use Thinkorswim, commissions are about the same (all rather negligible if u focus on the right trades), but they've got the best damn customer service ever:

http://www.thinkorswim.com/tos/client/index.jsp...

and i trade just a few times/week, i questioned thinkorswim and they said iw as fine as long as i don't abuse margin, so who knows anymore. once i get over $25k, it's on because then I can do my dozens of daily trades that I normally do.

Re: Trial By Economic Jury: Are You Innocent Or Guilty?

Timothy Sykes — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 12:49:56 -0000

Interesting, the majority of commenters bring up jobs and family as excuses, and one guy even looked down on me for not having either! First of all, family, c'mon, I'm 26...and as for job, I've never needed to work for anybody else because I've always found a way to make my own money, first in the market and now in writing/teaching about the market. Forget about poor writers, I'm on track for a nice little six digit year this year--who knew brutal honesty could be so profitable?

As for the variables, I don't understand them all--I never will--but just like my trusty chart patterns, when there's a significant number of them pointing one direction, I believe they help tip the scales a bit so its ignorant to bet when the odds are against you.

Longterm, sure real estate/American, they'll probly all be fine, but the same is true about somebody who breaks his leg after jumping out of a second story window to get down to the street. Me, I'll take the elevator.

ha as i've posted numerous times, thinkorswim allows me to trade, their help desk says i'm fine as long as i don't abuse margin. who knows, i'm not complaining. and all my trades/account are fully tracked on covestor

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 01:12:15 -0000

haha not being able to short stocks under $5 of course its allowed! just cuz some brokers have rules against it doesnt mean others don't. try thinkorswim, they'll let u short waaaay down to like $1 or $2, they say $3, but I've gone lower too--just do a search on my site and see some instances

hello idiot, thanks again for exemplifying the Forrest Gump-type IQ level of my haters. i'm up 32% since I started this project in November, how about you? See that little 'Track My Trades'' right over there to the right --------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>----->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yah, that's Covestor, they tap into my brokerage account and import every trade. Everything I do is verified by them just so I can write posts like this, leaving mental midgets like you speechless. And ah yes, there's the point I mae nearly, every day: I'm not that good, my readers can and have done better. Good day!

Re: 5 Exciting TIM Projects Meant To Make Finance Fun!

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:34:16 -0000

1. I don't get embarassed so you ain't seen nothin' yet
2. Covestor is an outside source, visit their site and do some DD. they're more reliable than auditors cuz they tap in every day
3. Actually I'm up $4k, glad to see you can't do math either!
4. Money made trading is irrelevant, this is to teach people with little money how I grow it--its for the love of the game.
5. Give TIM some time, in a few years, it'll suit your wall street snobbery. for now, you'll just have to settle with my readers making the big bucks. one guy is now up $23k in 2 days
6. rent is negligible, you forget I'm only 30% off my highs.
7 goodbye, you waste my time

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:54:24 -0000

i don't look for possible breakouts, i look for breakouts. wait til a break of the previous high happens, ideally into the close or at the open and buy. sometimes u get a fakeout breakout but the odds are on your side

Re: Market Manipulation Vs. Real Stocks, Guess Which Offers More Predictable Profits!

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:08:49 -0000

experience teaches me yes, COIN will drift down to the single digits, but its not definite and even if it does, there will be many spikes along the way. also u forget it took a damn long time to break the 9-11 range, lots of support around 10, so there's some downside, there's some upside, i'll wait to see a gradual daily decline like i like

Re: Zecco and FOX Biz Interviews And Some More Glowing Book Reviews

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 15:19:13 -0000

bought 300 FEED at $12.40 on the intraday afternoon breakout of $12.40. good earnings, good multi-month chart breakout too

Re: Zecco and FOX Biz Interviews And Some More Glowing Book Reviews

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 15:47:19 -0000

out at $12.50, horrible exit, but so what--we're talking 10-15 cents more....whooo hoooo. i don't trust this market and the risk reward on this trade isn't good for TIM, i really gotta focus on lower priced breakouts, i simply don't have the patience to hold these illiquid higher priced stocks

Jim, here's a tip, just follow my calls and do the sticking to them yourself. if u did any DD, you'd see my book, blog, DVD and nearly everything i say should lead u to believe u can do better than me. take my ideas and run with them, be the trader i never could be, blah blah blah get the point yet?

actually mike, my parents are real proud....and if u did even the lightest bit of research, u'd see for all my mistakes, i'm 30% off my highs. booo hoooo. greatest lessons i ever learned, only cost me a few hundred grand. worthy every penny as they'll serve me and now others for the rest of our lives.

PS up 32% since november, wait, according to your definition does that constitute failure too? lemme guess, u're gonna say its on a small amount of money, right? well guess what, most of the people out there don't have a lot of money, they need someone to show them how to do it from scratch. stick around kiddo, u might learn a thing or two!

haha typical snob answer, i love it! thank for not caring about the little guys, people like u are the reaosn why there's sooooo much opportunity to teach people like them. u just don't get it, people with accounts between 2-50k have little no idea of how to grow it consistently, other than investing in mutual funds, which would give the 32% over 3 years if they're lucky. 32% in 5 months, with my ridiculous amount of mistakes--all detailed for everyone's learnings pleasure--is the kind of "failure" many people would like to have

big or small, 95% of trader lose, with my rules and lessons in place, over time, i don't. just take one opportunity at a time. advantage sykes

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:17:10 -0000

mike wrong on just about everything again--my strategy works best just a few times/month. i write every day to keep people apprised of potential plays but in no way shape or form should they trade every day. who cares about taxes, its about growing an account and this is the best way i know how to do it--in any market condition

there are no goals but if people can make a few extra grand each month or get good and make more with few trades and most importantly no leverage, u'd be surprised how many want that. u forget people waste money at the tracks, casinos and trying to trade random crap like RIMM, GOOG

don't hate the game, hate yourself for not doing enough research before opening your mouth

1. I made 17 trades cuz i'm an undisciplined SOB, l earn to read--i write about the ones i shouldnt be in all the time.

2. i made m first million during the bubble yes, but my second came after in 2001,2002,2003, 2004, 2005--all of which i made over $50k each year, take out my bad year 2005 and all of them I made over $100k each year

3. flash in the pan--c'mon mikie, gimme a chance, thats why i'm saying stick around, i got nothing to hide, still trading like i always do, now i just teach too. hey, no hard feelings, even though you're a complete prick, i'll let u listen in on the class, i'll even get u some nice new clothes so u don't stink up the place being homeless and all!

leverage and margin are 2 different things--yes, i borrow shares to short from my broker, but i have plenty of cash to cover that borrow. i only use about 30-40% of assets at a time, unlike these wall street funds/banks that leverage up 40+ times their capital and get into trouble since their crap is all so illiquid

All I do is detail all my trades openly, proving I'm making money even as I'm not and never have been that great a trader.

Like I've posted several times, it doesn't matter if the the AA Dupre I was talking to was real or fake...just like it doesn't matter if a company's news is real or fake--you gotta buy into the volume/interest and sell short when that interest fades. this is why it's a perfect example of my trading strategy

and if u think I clicked 17k times on ET, LOL, well, I can multiply all the stupid things I've ever said and done times 1,000 and it still wouldn't even come close to .000000001 to how stupid u r. let me guess, you're a fat pimple faced 19 year old virgin who's great at guitar hero and nothing else. or maybe you're 40. it doesn't matter, MY BUSINESS MODEL WORKS ONLY IF I'M BRUTALLY HONEST YOU FREAKEN MORON...yet another guy who exemplifies the kind of idiocy in finance, thanks for helping me prove my point!

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:21:18 -0000

GENC wasn't out of nowhere, I've been profiling on and off for weeks now. And since I got rich too quickly in the book, this trade never would have worked with a large account size. Look at the risk-reward for TIM, it was great! Do not mistake this with random-ass COIN, this was a solid trade because I bought a stock down on little volume right at support. Understand better?

PS I didn't write about ti real-time on this blog because I didn't want to deal with front-running issues on such an illiquid stock, but this is a great trade for small traders looking to mae a quick 50 cents-$1 on a few hundred shares

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:15:45 -0000

Buying support does work SOMETIMES on larger stocks but as I mention, there are a million other variables that low the predictability in ALL other market sectors. Thats why Penny Stocks are ideal for smaller accounts. I don't have those speakers, they just looked cool

no finance, homebuilders, big stocks--THEY ARE NOT IDEAL FOR SMALL TRADERS/ACCOUNTS. Remember a $1-2 gain in AAPL is fine but without leverage, its of no use to TIM. And I don't use leverage either. Outside of penny stocks and options you can't predict 10-30% moves with any reliability. Since I've never traded an option, I have no edge or experience there, so that leaves penny stocks.

Well that was a fun meeting, actually gonna make me some publishing $

As for COIN boo hoo, so i missed out on 25 cents/share, i've never used stops nor will i ever. thats the price u pay for intraday meetings. i hope to teach others with busy lives to trade the same

and BTB, i am a GOOD trader--considering i make money when we know 90-95% of traders LOSE money--i'm just not great...have u not learned by now luck/the bubble has little to do with it? do u see VLNC today breaking out 7%+. yup, my meeting made me miss that too but that doesn't mean my readers didn't see it as i posted YESTERDAY to buy the breakout of $4.20. THIS GAME IS PREDICTABLE. i wonder how long it'll take people to realize it?

everyone can realize it and then the patterns will just mutate. that's why it's soooo important to understand the variables behind the patterns, so u can ADAPT. thats why my publishing biz has a great future.

now that COIN has tanked hard, that makes 7 trades in a row, both long and short, that i've called correctly and traded poorly. it's good for my readers!

VLNC, simple, I cut my losses when the breakout failed and wasn't around this morning when the breakout was on. don't regret it in the least cuz i was right to not risk it, but it exemplifies how life gets in the way of trading unless u wanna take on more risk and hold while you're away from your computer

who cares about missing profits, yes, it sucks, but my real job is publishing and the deal i just signed made me a few grand, aka more important than a potential $200 gain. yes, it sux, but welcome to not being a fulltime trader....maybe when i get TIM's assets up.............more importantly, how did you readers do on COIN....if u guys say u made 50-75 cents/share its just as good, if not better than me making it!

mike, u misunderstand me, i'm not saying i coulda woulda shoulda, "i" don't matter. i tried to make as much as i could given my risk tolerance and other commitments. u on the other hand can and should do better. i'm merely pointing out the possibilities here because my P and L does not tell the whole story

Re: To All My Haters Out There, This One’s For You!

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 00:51:43 -0000

Ha, Larry Williams, I don't trust anybody, let him blog his ideas EVERY SINGLE IDEA/TRADE and then we'll see.

MALL, yes, too bad about the after-hours drop, wish it'd had a few days in it, maybe it still might

As for the Sykes pattern/Supernovas, yes, they're spikers, I def. didn't invent them but since microcraps have unique qualities, I will get people to focus only on them. Most other patterns are too random...as for losing my friends and family money, yup, but since when did 30% become "most" and u forget they were all up big when I was the #1 ranked short bias fund manager 2003-2006, fund actually finished up a few percent, much better than the crap I take. they don't hate me and wait til u see what i have in store for them...

But yes, it's true for a very long time I had little risk management--mostly due to the snobby secretive scum infested world that is finance. nobody is willing to share their experiences openly! Disgusting, just as much as u hate me, i loathe u right back. u should be ashamed of yourselves

And as for being out of the hedge fund game, best decision I've ever made. My investors weren't crying for their money back, I closed it on my own. Who cares about the big boys club, you're all soulless money grubbing shadows. what will u leave behind? nothing except a few bastard children. no, i prefer to teach, and by the time i'm through i'll have helped more people than all of your mistresses put together, aka hundreds of thousands. that IS something worthy of devoting one's live to.

Oh and Traitor Monthly, sooooooooooo what, I leaked the damn news story to Page Six, helped me sell a few thousand books, showed i don't give a crap what others think of me, i'm on a mission here. And of course there is that tiny fact they thought my TV show affected my trading and thats why my fund was down. so much for investigative journalism, they probly shoulda read my book i sent them before rushing to judgment. they're little more than superficial/arrogant sellouts who represent the very worst of the trading community. they forget that trading is great not only because of its ability to create great wealth but to teach great lessons

Re: To All My Haters Out There, This One’s For You!

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:11:02 -0000

Blog is doing okay, new site goes up April 1st.

Hater #28, I don't care about fund managing, being bigtime or being the best investor/trader, etc. I once did, but I don't have the same priorities anymore. I see too many people--95% of traders--with NO idea of what they're doing and too many frauds/liars/marketers taking advantage of that ignorance. I plan nothing less than to devote my life to changing that game. Not because I'm the best but because I'm the most open. Because for all my failures and mistakes, I'm big enough to be able to detail them, celebrating them even...for the benefit of others. With CYGT, hindsight is easy, the blame falls on me, but I also curse all you other people who have had similar experiences and not detailed it. If we keep thinking like that, nobody will ever learn! That's why you guys can say whatever you want, it doesn't matter, as long as I stay true to this goal, I'll succeed beyond my wildest dreams. This is about changing up this joke u call the financial industry

Unlike Spitzer, I don't have a damn thing to hide--I talked to Richard Johnson on the phone, how the hell do u think they quoted me? Also faxed him all the emails...you just don't get it, I'm in the right here--like u, Traitor Monthly didn't do their research properly (as is the ignroant habit in finance).

As for 5,000 copies sold, thats 2k below a "bestseller", in 5 months.....all print-on-demand....not sold in stores....aka a raging success....stop being such a Wall Street analyst and do some DD before you speak!

Don't get me wrong, I leaked the email about Traitor Monthly's editor chastising me for not working hard enough trading, which he was 100% wrong about. those lowlifes leaked the entire email chain...i don't mind grovelling, i don't get embarrassed and those bastards screwed up my whole night, too afraid i'd take over the party....they were right, i would've

I know I should stop wasting my time, but haters, what exactly do u think i'm trying to do here? Do you see my saying follow my every move and you'll make $. On the contrary, I say i'm not a great trader but because of my strategies, i minimize losses. do u see my giving out penny stock picks to pump up illiquid stocks? no i say stick to liquid volatile names! do u see me putting ridiculous price targets? no i say judge price action.

it's really just too funny to me, what do u think u have on somebody who's detailing ALL his theories and trades and has proven they are profitable? what am i missing here?

damn down to $5.70, now bounce up through the $5.90 wall of sellers to $6, scary stuff, coulda woulda shoulda taken my profits, wanted more than $200, got greedy, even in a strong market, sellers everywhere and earnings coming out on wednesday--they've disappointed a few times in a row, lets see how this plays out...wouldn't be surprised to see some longs not risk it and get out ahead of the report

Sequoia--thanks to my transparency there's no such thing as a bad trade...but telling everybody helps me focus on only the best, of which there are none right now...400ish dollars lost, boo hooo...for details do some DD, thats what this site is for, my book and my DVD

SNTS, u mistakenly believe the microcrap's facts actually matter, It's on my watchlist but it just broke a key technical level to the upside...so i do agree with u that its nowhere near a short, just for diff reasons

Re: Hot Stocks: 12 Hard Hit Microcraps Trying To Surge Higher

borrowed shares of COIN and BPAX for possible shorts later today

Sequoia, read my book, the whole story is there, that's why i wrote it, so i dont have to keep explaining the past and can focus on teaching people what's worked year in and year out (hint, my hedge fund lost 35% cuz i ignored my trading rules, fell in love with a company and had a large stake in an illiquid stock)

Re: Hot Stocks: 12 Hard Hit Microcraps Trying To Surge Higher

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:52:05 -0000

yup 10% overnight, too easy to take...also low volume/spread/big buy blocks (which later got taken out) all helped my decision...probly goin under $2, but that extra $150 wasnt worth the risk/me waiting all day...really thought BPAX would tank 50 cents so $500 more important than $150

Re: Hot Stocks: 12 Hard Hit Microcraps Trying To Surge Higher

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:04:26 -0000

LOL, i'm only 35% off my highs, look at the LTCM guys who lost 99%, they're all running billion dollar funds again. i get plenty of offers, but I don't want to, I'd prefer to teach...also as u'll see my core strategy isn't right for big hedge funds, it's ideal for smaller investors/traders

Timothy Sykes — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:30:01 -0000

bpax is 50x more a buy than a short, intraday double top, so what, its still up a ton and early shorts can really get squeezed...remember 3.50 was bigtime resistance it broke through it easily

Re: Hot Stocks: 7 Solar Stocks To Day Trade aka How I Will Short Them!

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:41:28 -0000

reshort REED at $4.50-ish, too tough to stay green/go up big on the 3rd day of a big runup, fading volume, big sellers all above...Friday squeeze still possible, but I like my chances here for a 1-2 day hold

Re: Hot Stocks: 7 Solar Stocks To Day Trade aka How I Will Short Them!

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:46:28 -0000

no WH is still up on the day, a double top when a stock goes down! thats like somebody calling a doubletop on BPAX yesterday and look what happened there...gotta short into weakness on strong stocks, not strength on strong stocks cuz they go further than u think

Re: Hot Stocks: 7 Solar Stocks To Day Trade aka How I Will Short Them!

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:54:01 -0000

gotta get up early and reserve your hard-to-borrows, i got mine around 8am...

just covered half at $4.29, lunch meeting, cant risk it

Re: Hot Stocks: 7 Solar Stocks To Day Trade aka How I Will Short Them!

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:04:07 -0000

Covered other half of REED at $3.88!!! AWESOME AND PREDICTABLE

$17,360

suck on that haters!

Re: Hot Stocks: 7 Solar Stocks To Day Trade aka How I Will Short Them!

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:58:31 -0000

only have 1 account, now worth $17360. yah i'd reshort REED today if i could--probly into a weak close, looking for it to go under $4 next week--but afraid of doing too many trades so i won't do any more today.

as i've said, TOS has told me i've been flagged as a pattern day trader but they won't restrict me unless i abuse margin...its so gray area, i'm just thankful for the few trades i can do, will look to reshort REED on monday, hopefully it can get a little spike here, but its not looking to good

thanks neil

tony, its called a friday AH short squeeze, why its so tough to short anything with strength on friday, even REED came back at the close

Re: Obituaries: CYGT aka The Stock That Killed My Hedge Fund

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 20:16:34 -0000

actually it was $300k of other peoples money and $300k of mine (i was 50% of the fund)...and as u read, i feel in love with the technology--i knew many pink sheets are bogus and the fact that i knew this company's products and clients were real made me more confident...also didnt know they'd be a pink sheet, i thought they were goin otcbb...all the diff. in the world

but the #1 reason i invested was cuz i was discovering my short-selling strategy wasn't scalable and capping my annual gains at only a few hundred grand wasn't enough for my ego, nor is it now...CYGT was gonna take me to the next level....now i realize i just gotta teach everyone my strategy and by doing so, i'll not only feel fulfilled but i'll get rich too cuz u guys need to better understand all the variables

Re: Obituaries: CYGT aka The Stock That Killed My Hedge Fund

Timothy Sykes — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 20:52:45 -0000

Mike as u'd learn in my DVD, microcaps and smallcraps have unique qualities that allow for these patterns to be so predictable. trust me, if this strategy was more scalable, i'd jump at it

Re: Obituaries: CYGT aka The Stock That Killed My Hedge Fund

Re: Sykes’ Saturday Seven: March 29th, 2008 Edition

Timothy Sykes — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 15:56:34 -0000

Yes, I could easily front these stocks--post my pick and let me followers do the rest, but thats boring. much more interesting to teach people to ANTICIPATE my trades...with enough people thinking the same thing, the patterns will get destroyed and i'll finally be free...but the markets aren't that simple, lots of people think i'm full of it so they take opposite positions, some others anticipate those people taking opposite positions and they take positions in line with me, not because they agree with me, but because they know my post will create the opposite reaction.

all of that crap is unpredictable and makes my head hurt, i'm just gonna teach people to play microcraps cynically. simple.

Re: Sykes’ Saturday Seven: March 29th, 2008 Edition

LOL who cares if i offend u, u rip on me, u expect me not to fight back? accept it and enjoy the free hits...but who cares if companies are frauds--u gotta realize there will always be more frauds and companies with horrid management. if u expect the worst of everyone, u'll never be disappointed.

when u say my DVD is full of BS without bothering to see it contents, i lose all respect for u. nothing wrong with getting attention for your work, but only if your work is worthy of attention. what kind of value investor doesn't research before taking a position? at least penny stock promoters know what they r!

PS i only send review copies to popular websites, hence making it worth the expense. if u're so successful, just buy a copy, u can always return it within 60-days

Re: Sykes’ Saturday Seven: March 29th, 2008 Edition

Timothy Sykes — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:21:57 -0000

And in assuming the DVD is the same as the blog is where u go wrong...kinda like assuming record earnings mean record high stock price...haven't u ever heard assumption is the mother of all $%$ ups?

the blog is simply how I trade, the DVD of course details this approach but focuses more on this niche's variables so students can craft their own strategies based on their experience/personality, etc..

unlike me, u've never been contacted by thousands of people wanting to know more so u really have no place whatsoever commenting one way or the other. have a goode life

Mikhail--this is researched gambling, the odds can be on your side, more fun than casinos, wait til we bring in shows and girls

Oliver-thanks, detailed posts of trades r easy, teaching concepts are infinitely harder

A--yup, i'm betting too big, but i'm determined to get over 25k...also i dont care to be the exact example, this is just the way i do it, beginners shouldn't risk as much

J Biggs--no moron, not playing trades like this is how i lost 35%, never got wiped out, f$%% haters!

A--the first time around i used to bet 100% of my money EVERY TIME and i got burned exactly once...out of thousands of trades... in this niche the odds don't catch up to u because you're not guessing, you're playing off simple market mechanisms...there is a big difference...and as u'll read, i cut my losses quickly...u'll see, i think people will start to come around when i get to 100k

Re: How To Make 8% Returns Before Lunch

Timothy Sykes — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:46:55 -0000

Sure WSCI could breakout but in no way is it guaranteed--could be a COIN-like double top...gotta wait and see...also probly not gonna short it cuz if it does breakout, it could be like BOOM or CALM of year's past cuz it'll be based on earnings not some faux-guru named Gartman/message board pumpers

Re: How To Make 8% Returns Before Lunch

Timothy Sykes — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:45:23 -0000

yup its a supernova, possibly news related though we'll see..only time to short was when i successfully shorted into weakness, u don't short randomly into strength, thats why most short sellers are dumb losers

even at the top, a stock can show weakness by turning sideways and failing to breakout. or weakness could be a quick drop, bounce, slow fade. or a quick plunge, lots of different possibilities, thats why i didn't mention them all

Re: 13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 09:47:33 -0000

REED down to $3.30 now, gotta get greedier and hold

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 09:54:26 -0000

gary not sure what u're smokin', but i want some. REED is still down 50 cents on the day, don't be fooled by the low volume and ridiculous spread...variables weren't good for an AM short, good avoidance

BPAX nice morning tankage, had my shot to short 1000 at 4.39, but i held off because i prefer afternoon fades

Re: 13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:00:21 -0000

damn just got filled on my ASTI short at $16.99...guess i shoulda had my limit order much higher! oh well, not a bad entry actually, even if its not a trade i really wanted

Re: 13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”

akns bouncing around, plenty of support underneath, support up above, guess what its an efficient market, avoid!

bpax good short, could still yet bounce though not confirmed to be a negative day until the market close

Re: 13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:00:55 -0000

3.75 on cot is MEANINGLESS

WH sideways action is MEANINGLESS

read the title of this post outloud over and over until it sinks in

u need fear, symbolized by a negative close

Re: 13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:02:56 -0000

cot didn't "break", its just an intraday dip. yes it could lead to a big drop, but now u're just guessing, like the rest of the suckers out there.

i really gotta push my DVD harder, maybe it'll get u guys to understand this stuff better

Re: 13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:09:45 -0000

cuz its a little dip off the high, boo f$%$en hoo. don't be an early short begging to get squeezed, wait for some real fear

Re: 13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:26:40 -0000

COT's not overbought til $5 and no resistance until $5...looks like it fading now, but wheres it gonna go $3.50, $3?support at both levels. wish the run would continue more, oh well

Re: 13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:27:59 -0000

and its not the the 3rd day, its the 6th day--when u have this kind of pattern, it can last MUCH longer than u expect, look at WH and all the solars

Re: 13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:38:06 -0000

dont get me wrong, this is a great stock to short, u just gotta play it safe. cracking 3.75 turned out to be a good entry, but it was just a break of the past few minutes, nothing major. 3.66 at least woulda been a nice intraday head and shoulders and now its trying to go negative, another key point.

Re: 13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”

Shorted 1,000 COT at $3.48, possibly a bit early, but i'm likin this fade in volume, crack of sideways price action at $3.50...all bodes well for tomorrow test of $3.25-3.30 and if it cracks that its a straight shot to $3

Re: Subscribe To My Blog’s RSS Feed

Timothy Sykes — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:03:20 -0000

After a failure to take out afternoon lows of $3.46, COT squeezed some shorts into the close, i'm down 5 cents on my position could be worse, but really gotta wait for those levels to crack or else u risk getting squeezed...could/should be another morning squeeze tomorrow, doubt i'll be able to hold very long

I take the mission of TIM very seriously, just not the name.

it is $2 off off its highs, first down day isn't usually tank day but when it took out $16.200, it was a major bearish sign so there was a chance it'd crash $1. took a chance, didnt happen, nothing gained, nothing lost, not a bad trade, its all about risk reward

Re: TIM Monthly Review: Beware The Ides Of March Or Learn To Short Sell!

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:17:33 -0000

i agree it'll probly finish down BUT high probability of a $1 spike...with my tiny portfolio i cant risk that

also if u noticed, the overall market hasn't gone ANYWHERE in 3 months, even with tons fo bad news...even if its not a full fledged bull, odds favor a nice bounce, especially since during this latest dip, we couldnt even crack dow 12k

barber its all about odds

never traded an option, probly never will. and hedging aint my thing.

usually i dont post my trades realtime if there's an illiquid stock, but ASTI was liquid enough...also i dont think u understand how bad my reputation is, many people will never trust me, my strategy or penny stocks.

Re: TIM Monthly Review: Beware The Ides Of March Or Learn To Short Sell!

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:34:17 -0000

mike, making $300-$700k/year is not my idea of success. not to mention its more fun to cut through all the Bs out there, metting tons of people--mostly weird guys--but people nonetheless and u gotta remember the same % returns i make per trade will be there when i take a position 10x the size. some trades cant be scaled, but back in 1999 i only went from $12k to $123k...now i'm on track for $12k to $24k....different environent/pattern day trading rule/lots of other projects to blame, but once i get to $100k, i can easily make $5-$10k/day--when the trades are right. all it takes is 100 $10k days to get $1 million, tough but not impossible. then once i'm at $500k, i'll probly have $50k days, all i need is 20 of those to get to $1.5mil from the $500k. trust me, i've thought this out

but i think u're missing the big picture--everybody is--cuz nobody else is in my position where i'm getting tens of thousands of emails from people who have no idea how to trade stocks. if i can make somebody $5k, thats worth the cost of my $300 DVD. 99.9% of trading teachers and courses are frauds--all i gotta do is be honest and help people. not a bad biz, much better than just making $ for a few rich people

without a doubt teaching/blogging, there are soooo many idiots out there combined with so much BS, the potential for something real is unlimited.

COT showed perfect topping action today--if I wasnt such a baby, i'd still be short...you dumb pumpers wanna do your thing on other sites thats fine, but when the chart and price action are so overwhemingly bearish and u put out some BS price target, you're done. i have nothing against COT, its just the latest POS company with a good chart, if it cracks 3.25 tomorrow morning, u're really done for, i wish u luck, hopefully u can pump harder and help squeeze the shorts but u havent impressed me so far

Timothy Sykes — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:56:05 -0000

not lame, very understandable, i had a similar experience, one bad thing about TOs is they close AH trading at 6:30pm, so after that i thin the order gets rolled over to the next day. U R Out means u have no open order so maybe it was closed, def check it out before 8am tomorrow

As for saying there's rarely shares to borrow--look at my trades man--I'm using a freaken basic online discount broker and I get shares nearly every time. I could use a specialty broker that requires minimums of $250k and get shares EVERY time, but that'd be tough for the mainstream audience now wouldn't it

i love when idiots come knocking on my doorstep--its always amusing when in posting a comment, somebody's soooo sure of themselves...the best part is getting to tell them they're a moron and feeling good about not being a moron myself.

so truth #6, 7:25pm, this one goes out to u. one word: ThinkorSwim:

$10 flat fee trading...there are even cheaper ones out there, but they're not quality and something tells me, u have some full priced broker who charges you like 1% commissions, like those knuckleheads on the latest season of WSW.

damn that felt good, thanks truth, feel free to stop in again and lay some "truth" on us LOL

CNEH is a Fous pick, not Focus pick, Fous is another blogger

yeah they normally avoid such low market cap plays, but i guess they figured they should create a scandal to attract more viewers or somethin

don't blame the morons, they pick up day trading as a hobby, they hear about a stock and tell themselves "patience, patience" but then it keeps going higher, they feel guilt about missing out and buy in at the top. they loss $, give up and are replaced by new suckers

joseph--thats because NTRI is a random ass pattern, no amount of research will make it predictable....lots of people like buying on dips--all of thelion.com did, they're selling into those gains, everyone has diff. expectations, ignore those stocks, focus on the ones without fundaental news, strick to manipulation and hype, trust me, odds are much higher

who cares if they disclose if they own it and who cares about BSing CEOs--does no good whatsoever to bring somebody on whose job it is to lie and present the company in the best light no matter what (see Bear Stearns CEO days before the collapse)

its all the freaken WWF and unfortunately people are dumb with money, they dont realize it

And PS I've update the return policy--the book doesn't even have to be unused anymore...too many idiots were thinking I was referring to the DVD needing to be returned unused as if it were my "scam clause"...sad....you poor poor people, you've been abused by scam artists and marketers for too long!

Re: The Most Thorough And Glowing Review Of PennyStocking Yet

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:09:34 -0000

exactly penny which is why my dvd preaches to trade only when stocks are in play--so 50,000 shares at 50 cents/share, $1.50 or even $5 will be but a drop in the bucket....look at USU IDMI COIN, those trade 5-010mil shares/day...other ideal plays like DARA, SHZ, VION, are less scalable, adjust as necessary, but people with $3k-$100k really dont have to worry AT ALL...aka the majority of my readers, we're not rich pretentious pricks like some sites

Re: The Most Thorough And Glowing Review Of PennyStocking Yet

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:27:36 -0000

it's sound but the best plays like COIN are multi-day 30-50% moves. $200k is n0ot tough at all, we're talking 10k shares of COIN, 30k of lower priced stocks, but since i have more capital for other potential plays, i can hold these longer so while the % of assets i use will drop from 30% to 10-20%, my % gains/play will go up cuz i'll be able to profit from more of the meat of the pattern...trust me, i've been through several diff. market environments...also depends on how many opportunities there are, in bull markets there are many, but u gotta be conservative, in bear markets, there are less, but its time to be aggressive

Re: The Most Thorough And Glowing Review Of PennyStocking Yet

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:41:39 -0000

forget COIN's volume today, u def don't have my DVD or else u would've known I'M ONLY TALKING ABOUT PLAYING THESE STOCKS WHEN THEY'RE IN PLAY. That was over a month ago when it was trading 5 mil shares/day. i'm not making this stuff up, every variable has been accounted for, keep em comin

Re: The Most Thorough And Glowing Review Of PennyStocking Yet

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:43:51 -0000

and the same reasons that make high fliers so easy to trade make them so much less predictable, especially on a % basis compared to my plays. i'm talking about being able to predict 20-40% moves within 1-5 days....RIMM, BIDU, GRMN and all the rest barely get up more than 10%-20% earnings and thats much riskier.

u cannot win: trading penny stock high flyers is ideal for the smaller investor/trader

Re: The Most Thorough And Glowing Review Of PennyStocking Yet

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:05:43 -0000

yes but if u wait for the right pennystocking opportunity, on 300k, u can make 50-100k, in a few days....while rarer, its much more predictable....i dunno, trading bidu and rimm, i make moeny, then lose, then make, then get crushed and waste weeks...not for me

short 1000 PSTI at 5, big block sells coming in taking out the 14k buy block at $5, very very nice

Re: 6 Hot Stocks: Let’s See How Smart You Are

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 09:55:20 -0000

timing isnt bad on this one, there was a clear big buy order at 5 to short into, u should never have entered it at 5.05...and this isnt $200, right now i'm up $350 so far, but i want $500+ on this thing

Re: 6 Hot Stocks: Let’s See How Smart You Are

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:01:03 -0000

LOL Tom 50 day moving avergae on PSTI, i just look at them like see saws, too much time up, time to go down....and no shares of NCEN so PSTI is my only play!

tdigg--of course they're predictable, why do u think i get so angry when people try to say this is all in my head...the power of the internet, i'm gonna make sure every single damn person int he world knows about this game

Timothy Sykes — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:12:03 -0000

haha nah meetings are real, publishing is my main biz and just wait til u see some of the projects i'm workin on....no problem with taking 7% profits within 30 minutes...trade was very scalable, coulda been done with 5-10x the size and 20-50x the size if u're willing to have patience.
