Beautiful Action!

Watch these 7 free video lessons on how I became a millionaire

Wow, it’s been a while since we had this kind of fear in the marketplace, but this morning’s action really reeks of fear–isn’t it beautiful? I know, I know–I always say it doesn’t matter what the overall market is doing, but it’s just so much fun to sit on the sidelines while all the bulls are getting crushed.

As for my plan today, I don’t know if I’ll try and pick up some bounces–CROX is near unchanged for the day (a very bullish sign). The markets waste

d an awful lot of dip buyers with yesterday’s rebound so it’s going to be interesting to see if there will be similar action today. Remember what I said about Friday afternoon short squeezes …….but if that doesn’t play out, there’s always the chance of Friday afternoon panics!

Ahhhh I love this volatility–this is why it’s sooooo important to learn short selling, you just gotta be able to play stocks up or down. If you do, you’ll have an advantage over 95% of all the other market players since most people think short selling is too complicated/too speculative/not right for them/ the devil’s work .

    you said 4.5 in your other post…i was goingto say that was like a 5 second trade if you covered that high.

  • YoungGunz

    Banked it at 3.68. for a nice profit of $290 in about 45mins. I was comfortable with that profit too considering this morning my account was 2,049.99. I am up to 2,339.38 in just over a week with TimAlerts.

    Geez after righting this it went to 3.31…I should keep asking myself, “why cover now the pattern isn’t showing you any reason to.” I just kept seeing that profit of $300 dancing in front of me and decided to just take it.

    haha yeah meant 4.05, friggin 3.25 low, amazing i timed it so wrong, again

  • YoungGunz

    YOu have like almost perfect entrances, you need to have your interns take the wheel for your exits or something. That or listen to what Be the Ball said and go take a shit first then come back. I will admit though that I was getting worried in the 4.30 ish range. if you woulda cover there you probably would have spooked me into also.

  • Ross

    Since I can’t sell short under $5 I bought some USS @ 3.50 and @ 4.05 hoping for an upswing. I may have to open another account so I can take advantage of the short trade opportunities in the $3 – $5 range. I am playing in the blind right now until I get the DVD which I plan to order soon. Glad to read people are making money and look forward to doing the same.

    Keep up the good work Tim.

  • kusumo

    Nice job Tim. Profit today of $961 after commissions.

  • Ross

    Looks like I got in too soon for an upswing. I am the idiot LOL!! It’s seems to be holding @ 3.25

  • patelt78

    Tim, I am waiting for my ACH deposit to my TOS account to go through. I’m bitter I missed this one.

    Great job. Next time, hopefully I can join in the fun.

    Ross, IMHO….this thing ran from $1.25 to $5.00, so there is plenty of room to fall. If you went long, consider selling into any run-up. There’ll be a sucker rally at some point.

    50% retracement is at $3.13, so there might be some support there. After that support is around $2.68.

    All IMHO.

  • Ross

    I just ordered the DVD so I can get a better handle on playing this game.

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

    awesome ross, its shipping tomorrow, it really is all about getting comfortable with how fast these patterns move…historical examples are your only bet to for education

  • adairjm

    I don’t have the DVDs, so I don’t know if Tim talks about the LONG side.

    I’d be very leary of holding USS longterm, though.

    All IMO.

    Who knows? This could be the first leg up on a great run for USS.

  • Ross

    I wanted to sell short but Scottrade limits stock @ $5.00 I am going to cross my fingers and hope the swing goes up tomorrow. I just need to know when I should sell at a loss. I wasn’t planning on holding this overnite. I don’t have that many shares so it won’t kill me. I still need to be careful cause I have limited funds and basically doing some real estate equity reinvestment so I am already paying on this money to begin with but it’s cheap money so worth risking a little to see how I do. I am not working so I need something to do to keep money coming in.

    ross, gimme your $, i’ll take better care than buying a stock like this on its first down day..your homework is to read my 700 blog posts and learn so u dont throw money away

  • Ross

    Tim, I was being a little to anxious no doubt and certainly don’t know what I am doing. I am going to read your blog and await your DVD. I really want to make this work and make this my full time job. So you want to do some trades for me while I get up to speed? Please PM me with details.

  • Ross

    I am having a hard time finding your 700 post blog.

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

    no i dont do trades for anyone but myself, i’m just here to teach…all blog posts are on http://www.test.timothysykes.com

  • Ross

    I didn’t think you traded for other people that’s why I asked ;) I still can’t find a blog link. The site is pretty busy with alot of links but nothing jumps out at me as a blog link. I must be going blind. LOL!!

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

    dude the whole site is a blog, there are 700 blog posts

  • Ross

    I think I found your Blog section titled “Tim Writes” I was looking for a link called Blog. I am starting to feel pretty stupid. LOL!!

  • adairjm

    Hey Ross,

    Read up on Elliot wave theory. Try to figure out where USS is on the wave and whether or not you want to be a shareholder there.

    I try to cut my losses to 5%-7% on a stock trade.

  • MikeY

    I got in with 350 shares @ 4.33 then I had to go away for the day (no choice). I just came back and it’s 3.42 which puts me at $320 without commissions.

    Should I sell off first thing tomorrow morning and grab my profits or wait for more downside (likely)

    P.S: woo first big timalert trade!!!! :D (more than that $10 gain on my first one eh Tim)

  • Ross

    Hi Jason,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I did some searching and read a little on it. This stuff is waaaay out of my league. I have alot to learn no doubt.

  • Ross

    @ Tim,

    That is what I finally figured. I swear there was a blog link before is why I kept looking for a specific link. I am building a web page with all the suggested sources to study for opportunities and will be spending alot of time getting a grasp on the terminology and the game itself. I am waaay out of my league at this point.

  • notesguy88

    Like Patelt78, I’m waiting for my ach deposit to TOS to complete. In the meantime I’ve been watching Tim and everyone else trade here. I’ve also finished reading Tim’s book (good stuff btw) and going through the DVDs. Can’t wait to get started and to not be a “sucker” anymore. LOL

  • Ross

    I read you loud and clear notesguy. I am waiting for my TOS account to complete as well and waiting for Tim’s book and DVD to arrive. I want to take the sucker tag off my forhead too. LOL
