    wake up wake up wake up

  • notesguy88

    Where’s my coffee? LOL

  • lamecoder

    I’m awake. The pre-market bids looks good on NOBL. I look forward to profiting from your pick. It will be my second Tim trade.

  • YoungGunz

    still waiting for response on my reserve request. So ToS is getting a little annoyed that so many people are starting to reserve and not use the shares? What they expect us to do with hard to borrow stocks. Its not like we’re doing it on purpose the stocks are the ones to blame for not cooperating :)

  • http://www.heyidea.com Sweeney

    I got in at 1500 shares of NOBL at $5.26… ready to go!

  • notesguy88

    TOS has no shares of ytbla or csar available to reserve.

  • kelvin

    sleepy .!!

  • Reaper

    TOS has plenty of CHC.

  • YoungGunz

    I got some CHC. YTBLA there is none. Didn’t check RTK. I am thinking it will die fast in the morning and I don’t want to have to watch that and NOBLE at the same time.

  • notesguy88

    I reserved chc and rtk just in case.

  • YoungGunz

    How do you know how many shares ToS has? Do you just ask the broker when you go to reserve? Every time I just ask to reserve shares and they always ask how many I want before they go to check.

  • notesguy88

    plnr is easy to borrow so I didn’t bother to reserve.

  • Wes

    I thought the point of reserving was for a “possible” short….how long do shares stay reserved anyway?

  • YoungGunz

    they’re good for the day

  • http://www.test.timothysykes.com timothysykes

    exactly wes, thinkorswim doesnt like me advocating possible shorts, they dont get commissions!

  • Ross

    Mornin All,

    Reserved 500 shares CHC

    @ Wes till the end of the trading day

  • Wes

    Wow Tim…NOBL has a good chance put you over the $25k mark….that would make for a good LiveStock

  • YoungGunz

    damn took 15 mins of pending for the broker to tell me there were no shares of RTK

  • bigjimstradingpost

    Morning Gang…

    Here’s what I’m up to today…if you give a shit..

    Just bought 10000 ETFC premarket for $2.94 looking for a dime…
    Premarket order in to short 1000 FLWs at $6.55 but it hasn’t filled yet
    Premarket order in to buy 2000 LLNW at $4 but it hasn’t filled yet
    Premarket order in for 3000 GERN at $4.25 not yet filled…

    Good luck to you all. I won’t be able to hang all day. Going to try and snag a couple quick scalps at the open then head to Czech for a Texas Hold’em tourney…

  • kelvin

    they said there’s no CHC available now

  • PCola

    Wes, there’s virtually no chance that NOBL puts Tim over $25K on livestock today unless he deviates from his normal trading. NOBL could put him over $25K, or he could still be holding NOBL by Livestock time, but not both. If it spikes to over $6 at the open Tim will sell, and if it doesn’t, the odds of him holding for 4 hours and THEN having it spike over $6 in that 1 hour LiveStock time period are pretty slim. If you want him to break $25K on LiveStock, hope for a nice spike on NOBL to just under $6, Tim can sell, and then hope for anotehr ideal trade to pop up while he’s LiveStocking to get him that last few hundred.

    Looks like ANAD is in the midst of creating some bitter shareholders

  • Reaper

    GFET very nice short setup but for being so low-priced. I’ll only short it if its price action is perfect. There are 100k shares of it available at IB.

  • bigjimstradingpost

    Hmmm.
    I wonder is TQNT and SWKS will fall in sympathy wiht ANAD???

  • awgregory

    Tim, I finally was able to get into one of your trades and I really stoked! How do you know when the wall of sellers shows up?

  • bigjimstradingpost

    Just dropped in a premarket to short 2000 TQNT as a sympathy play on the ANAD TANKAGE!!!

  • YoungGunz

    watching level two. ToS level 2 sucks for seeing that though because if there are more then 5 bids and asks you can’t tell which one has more then the other.

  • bigjimstradingpost

    Still no fill on TQNT, GERN, FLWS and I bagged a whopping 50 shares of LLNW… I Guess we’ll see what happens after the bell.

  • bigjimstradingpost

    Short 2000 TQNT at $5.98

  • http://www.test.timothysykes.com timothysykes

    out of NOBL at 5.50ish, looks like i was too early again LOL

  • bigjimstradingpost

    LLNW Long Filled at $4.06…could only get 50 shares premarket..
    TQNT bouncing a bit…may have to pull the trigger and short more..
    ETFC up a couple cents…

  • PCola

    Out of NOBL at $5.65. Made $1,140.19 after commission.

  • PCola

    LOL, I was watching my order get filled when I got Tim’s alert that he sold. Guess I should have held longer as well. Ohw ell, can’t complain about $1100 in 17 trading minutes.

  • bigjimstradingpost

    Wanna short the pig at $5.68?

  • http://www.test.timothysykes.com timothysykes

    no way to shorting it, probly just gonna bounce around…here’s the new alert:

    http://www.timalerts.com/2008/08/08/sold-nobl-for-10-profit-livestock-from-1-2pm-est-today/

    lets hear how much u guys made!

  • arcus

    lol…I was late to the punch, I got in this morning at 5.50 in premarket.

  • http://www.test.timothysykes.com timothysykes

    haha arcus and everyoene lse, when i aim for 20% profits at the max, u cant afford to get in halfway late, you’re just begging for losses

  • arcus

    2008 has been the year of the losses for me, nothing abnormal. I need to reverse that trend. :) I’m not in the states, I was sleeping when you alerted us to NOBL.

  • prognesubis

    Timothy, in your educational DVD you state that we should use stops when short trading to protect our investment. Wouldn’t be better to use one cancel the other to get protection on both ends of the short trade? Can you give us some information on what you use for charting to pick up super novas? (Filters and Technical Expressions)

    Martin

  • schmuck

    NOBL: bought 1000 shares near the close at 5.40 and sold at 5.59 and made only $190 (ex comm)…my timing is worse than tim’s…

  • http://www.test.timothysykes.com timothysykes

    whaaaat i’ve never used stops before, i wouldnt know how to–market makers see em and can take u out, no thanks…picking up supernovas–read my blog post on my main site “where i find stocks to trade”

  • awgregory

    I guess the question I have then is, what do you consider to be a wall of sellers? TOS Trade Grid shows the top 3 bid and ask (size and amount). For example, if you see 2 to 1 sellers to buyers at the best bid and ask is enough to be considered a wall?

  • arcus

    I hope some of you shorted NOBL. I’m a bag holder…like I figured I’d be. Dropped real quick.

  • greenspan

    NOBL Went from 5.10 to 5.50 for $400.

  • greenspan

    im not sure about that didnt break intraday support on ILE. I believe it did. Am I mistakened?? I shorted it anyway. Looks good to me.
