Another Tim Lesson nailed to my forehead!
TIM Lesson: When a stock that’s up 150%+ breaks intraday support, it’s gonna tank hard–short it.

Tim, first time posting on Tim Alerts. First thank you for all the hard work you do to get us all the great potential plays every morning. Personally, the info is priceless as, like most of us, I hold a day time job and dont have the time or experience to look for what is worthy out there. As for HSNI, I shorted a couple of times in the past 2 days after you first entioned it for about 3-4% profit (too much strength), but today I actually shorted at 8.75 (after the early squeeze) and covered at 7.35 for a beautiful 16% profit. As everyone always says, coulda held for longer, but just wanted to be smart and avoid seeing another short squeeze wipe out most of these gains, as we had seen several times before today > another lesson learned here. Anyways, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. I know that many people out there argue that you are only in this to make money off of newbies, but if you actually bring us value, I dont see what the issue is. It is a free country and we are free to cancel if unhappy. Count me in for the long ride. Thumbs up for Tim Alerts.
