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

Posted by timothysykes on Thu 27th of Mar, 2008 08:16:32 PM

(SOLF)—up 50% in 5 days, solid resistance at $15, but solid earnings today means the short side is limited, although it’s tough to be bullish either…let’s see how the pattern plays out, I’ll update tomorrow

(SOL)—another 50% gainer within a few days, solid earnings gainer today, nice sideways action between $11.50 and $12, that’ll either turn out to be nice support or resistance, tough to be short until that breaks

(AKNS)—now up 75% off its lows, today the shorts got squeezed by a magazine article mention, now this is some news to short into—financial journalism is a total joke! Nice short into resistance at $8

(ASTI)—up nearly 100% now, got a nice investment form blah blah blah today, squeezed the shorts…until the last hour. Ideally it bounces tomorrow, but either late tomorrow or Monday, it’ll be a great short when it goes negative under $14

(CSUN)—put in a nice bottom just over $6, but the strongest solar rally and it only goes up $1, P A T H E T I C…not volatile enough for me

(SPIR)—up 60% off panic selling—in actuality, up 30% off solid sideways price action at $12…much less liquid than these other guys, resistance at $18, not sure it’s worth touching either way here

(JASO)—the realest of all these companies, up 4 days in a row, but only 20% (sucks to be real, seriously!) (volatility-wise) I’ll leave it alone, I prefer fake/fraudulent/hype-filled stocks, say hello to the social security-earning investors for me!

    I shorted 1k shares of pos AKNS at 7.62..... holding... I believe it will drop back around 5 ish....
    sill holding my solf short.
  • S Adams
    Fargan Schwab wouldn't let me short AKNS at 8.05. No shares.
  • timsykes
    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
  • S Adams
    Watching SCON. Long now short later?
  • Tony Ellis
    Nice sideways action on ASTI
  • NeilTheRealDeal
    nevermind I was wrong. you need 25k in your own equity to make more than 3 round trip trades in a 1 week period. now I'm confused as well. I'm wondering how Tim gets by this. Seperate accounts?
  • Adrian
    Was long solf took a little hit was going to short but its a risky play right now instead went short akns
  • NeilTheRealDeal
    no I think you can trade all you want if it is a cash only account. to trade borrowed funds (margin account) you need to maintain atleast 25k. am I right?
  • Dan
    Nice work today, Tim.
  • lmsmith
    anyone followed suit and shorted SOLF??? It's going down lovely... at least another .50
  • manhack
    short from 6.69 yesterday. May cover on any big dips since I have to leave the house.
  • Joseph
    Tim,

    How come you don't get in trouble for breaking the rule? I don't know how many times you've been breaking that rule, man. I'm not hating but I just don't understand how the rule doesn't apply to you
  • tsa
    I did a good move, short on HALO 4,000 sh at $6.51 but covered to early because it decreases again....
  • lmsmith
    SOLF Down trending....so like itself
  • Thanks Gary !!!
    That rule is amazing. Here in France we can do whatever we want. And I read Tim saying that he was borrowing titles to short them later in the day. In France we have a list of about 170 stocks which are authorized to shorting. Yes, that's a "short" list to short :-)
    Very instructive here about trading the US market.

    PS : ordered my Tim Sykes Hedge Fund book this morning on Amazon.
  • tyler
    would you re-short REED again if it spikes a little more or would you not touch this stock again.
  • Gary
    This is cut and paste off my fav site (execpt your timmy, your the best): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytrading

    "Pattern day trader is a term defined by the SEC to describe any trader who buys and sells a particular security in the same trading day (day trades), and does this four or more times in any five consecutive business day period. A pattern day trader is subject to special rules. The main rule being that in order to engage in pattern day trading the trader must maintain an equity balance of at least $25,000 in a margin account"

    Really what this means is, until you have 25K you can not buy and sell stocks the same day as many times as you want...or your account will be freezed!
  • Sorry if my question is stupid but what is all that fuss about the 25K barrier ?

    Thnks
  • lmsmith
    Covered Reed as well......... Tim... I am waiting for you to hit 25k, patiently.....
  • timsykes
    Covered other half of REED at $3.88!!! AWESOME AND PREDICTABLE

    $17,360


    suck on that haters!
  • Gary
    Timmy's got the in on shorts. Good call on REED...wish I could find shares to short! This rate your on your way to 25k :)
  • timsykes
    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
  • NeilTheRealDeal
    tim, around where are you looking for an exit point with reed?
  • lmsmith
    Any one still holding their REED Short? Looks like it's tanking
  • Davey
    How many shares did you reserve this morning, I've been trying all day to get shares of REED but TOS says they have none today.
  • Al
    Tim,

    That was me yesterday. Thanks again for the lesson
  • timsykes
    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
  • Al
    WH - three day double top
  • timsykes
    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
  • Gary
    OH...maybe NONAME should learn how to cut and paste!!!!
  • Gary
    Hey guys SYBD taken the DUMP!
  • tsa
    Hard to be filled on REED now, very few lots exchanged, I am obliged to hide mines and to play few at each time.
  • Tony Ellis
    ASTI, may have to raise my sell short limit order @ 20.
  • timsykes
    haha yeah Al, i'm doing something right u guys know where the plays r at!
  • tsa
    BPAX increased yesterday, today again, I won't short it today, wait for another day
  • timsykes
    yeahhhh tsa, how great is this game, also watch BPAX, if i wasn't gutless, i'd be long that pumper!
  • Al
    BPAX - how about shorting this?
  • timsykes
    out at 4.45, gotta take advantage of the morning dump, especially with a lunch meeting, nice and easy $300 profit
  • tsa
    Covered on REED, wait for another spike to short again
  • timsykes
    short 1,000 REED at 4.75
  • Tony Ellis
    damn...should went long REED at 4.6
  • Jay
    How could you leave ESLR off this list...This one is easy.

    Take a look at an apparal stock...JOEZ. It seems like something you would have a comment or two on.
  • tsa
    I am short in premarket on REED at $4.80
  • Tony Ellis
    you read my mind...I've reserved all three also.
  • timsykes
    reserved shares of REED and ASTI, no AKNS...goood I'm sleepy I dont want to have to short all these plays same day....big lunch meeting also gonna be interesting to fit this all in!
  • lmsmith
    I am on the same wave with you TIM... these stocks will eventually turn sideways and go down....... I use to be one of those solar longs wondering what the hell was going on, when I bought the damn stock when it was up- hoping the next day it will go up even more, Only to disappoint and go down......It is such a trend....just waiting for the perfect time to Short these stocks, especially AKNS
  • timsykes
    REED up 40 cents premarket, gotta love the squeeze, gotta have more balls to buy into the close on such strength even if it is a micropumper
  • Tony Ellis
    REED squeeze potential!

  • timsykes
    thanks for the link mike, too bad it didnt last very long!

    http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/stories...

    problem is they wanted to raise $ and i'm sure the SEC wasn't too happy, i'm just fine with my own $, taking my fees through product sales
  • Mike
    The original TIM, http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.07/newmone... They had a webcam on the trading floor, message boards, commentary blogs, posted all trades realtime, etc.
  • MikeG
    Booo Tim-hater. Stop wasting your life tearing him down. First of all, he's not hurting anyone. Second, ya he's failed before, but Tim doesn't give up. And third, he's just out there trying to have fun. SO please, find something else to do with your time.
  • Noname
    i'm a jerkoff spammer!
  • Mike
    Didn't AKNS release earnings today?
  • Noname
    How is your butler doing? Haha...karma is good...
  • Noname
    ahaha
  • timsykes
