I’m getting a lot of questions as to TIM’s exact portfolio. I’m in the process of creating a whole new page devoted to TIM and that should be ready in the next few days, but for now just realize that TIM’s portfolio consists of only 50,000 shares of CYGT (approximately 1/3 of TIM assets) and cash. Nothing else. All these other stocks I write about are just potential plays.
The reason being I don’t believe in diver
sification. It’s fine for long-term investors and most people who don’t have the time to watch the markets every second, but it’s not going to help you earn 100x your money in a few years. No, I aim to take positions only when I believe I think I can predict how a stock will perform over the next few hours or days. I don’t set price targets as I’m constantly judging the stocks based on their price action, but I do think it’s possible to predict which stocks will be strong or weak during specific time periods. I usually only take 1-2 positions at any given time so I can give them my full attention. Think of it like playing cards in Vegas–you don’t throw your chips around at 20 different tables, that would be crazy. Same kind of thinking applies here.
CYGT is definitely not a typical trade, but I think several factors (new CEO, upcoming IAAPA expo and earnings) will help the stock price in the coming days. Other than that, I’d love to be shorting some strong stocks like GSOL, but I can’t day trade very often until I get to $25k (that pattern day trading rule wasn’t in place last time I had this little amount of money!) so I have to pick my plays extra carefully for now. I could try to hold these stocks longer, but that’s not my style and getting away from one’s trading style is very dangerous.
I don’t see many perfect trade setups so it might be a little boring, but sometimes trading is boring and you have to accept that and not try to force profits. After all, trying to force trading profits is the surest path to trading losses.
Warning: TIM, Timothy Sykes, and the Easter Bunny have positions in CYGT.
Please note that due to factors including low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float, we consider some of these stocks to be small-cap stocks. You should be aware that such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity and less publicly available information, and that postings such as this one can have an effect on their stock prices.
