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

Why some bloggers, especially those who are billionaires, hold back

I now have a fan club, join so you can stay on top of all the upcoming goodness!

Even though I despise market guessing games, since I nailed this market back on January 4th, I gotta show it off

Wanna bid $40k to meet I-need-a-script-and-a-director-or-else-you’ll-discover-how-awkward-I-am-on-camera Scarlett Johnansson (watch the video on the link to see what I mean)

No idea how I found him, but this guy is pretty funny:

Remember Nine Inch Nails, see what they’re up to, cool business stuff

Are financial firms like Lehman insolvent?

The guy hasn’t discovered PennyStocking yet, so here’s some tips to those still playing random stocks.

If I was rich enough, I coulda woulda shoulda sued the SEC over hedge fund marketing rules in a heartbeat, thankfully this guy is actually doing it.

This group of sissy value investors reposted one of my articles and started ripping on me. Well, they got some of their facts wrong so I tried joining the group but they rejected me! What a perfect example of the closed minded/snooty ways of this cult. Say what you want about me, but I remain open to any and all strategies/people to debate freely.

They don’t deserve the wisdom of their leader, Buffett, check out his latest pearls of wisdom

Here’s my take on that letter

And here’s my take on these 10 stocks breaking out to new highs

Tellingly, my article featuring stocks making new lows was four times as popular

Ever wonder the story behind all those sponsored links on diff. websites?

Check out these microcrap mutual funds! (Never invest in these, for there are few excuses a mutual fund can make for not being able to raise $)

  • crone

    Fan of your rise in the industry and your blog, even though my investments are long and I don’t day trade. You should take some tips from that dude and get yourself a @itch and POON some trader NOOOOOBS.

  • reno

    Hahaha fantastic vid! Them playing titanic at the end and explaining why they do so was the best.

  • donna

    You made trades on 25, 26, 26, 27, and 28. You went over the pattern daytrading limit. i think you’re technically supposed to be banned from trading for 90 days now. Ill check back in june when you’re allowed to trade again.

  • timsykes

    ha as i’ve posted numerous times, thinkorswim allows me to trade, their help desk says i’m fine as long as i don’t abuse margin. who knows, i’m not complaining. and all my trades/account are fully tracked on covestor

  • donna

    thank you for your quick reply, now tell us, how do you short stocks under 5dollars. It’s not allowed. Interesting youtube clips of that romanian warcraft guy.

  • timsykes

    haha not being able to short stocks under $5 of course its allowed! just cuz some brokers have rules against it doesnt mean others don’t. try thinkorswim, they’ll let u short waaaay down to like $1 or $2, they say $3, but I’ve gone lower too–just do a search on my site and see some instances

  • donna

    ok ill check it out (thinkorswim). better get some sleep now Timman. you have a big day tommorrow (don’t you always?). oh maybe you should just take a vacation every now and then. I’ll be up, gotta try to make some mulahuahua.

  • be the ball

    took some off as well. gonna hold a piece for a tad bit longer

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

    how much u make BTB?

  • be the ball

    +$850 on UOMO so far, still have a piece on, thank you IB for having shares

  • be the ball

    i almost added to position this morning at .55….oh well

  • http://www.goodevalue.com Reaper

    Tried to get back into UOMO at the open today but I couldn’t get a fill (even when I placed an order below the best bid). Complete destruction now. :(

  • be the ball

    pain in the ass to get a fill in this thing….finally…ok out of last shares at .385

    +1200ish in UOMO Tim, thanks, bud

  • be the ball

    I can’t get UPTR up as a quote on IB. Reaper?

  • sonid

    watching HEB today, its down now good place to get in for a lil bounce before decision

  • AdamN

    Great trade Tim!

  • nifri

    BTB, UPTR is known as GFYX on IB. At least that’s the exact same company name as the one on finance.yahoo.com and the same closing price. Hasn’t traded today and the chart is not drawing for me.

  • nifri

    Covered 2k UOMO for $578 profit @0.405. Had sold 2k @ 0.7 yesterday. Thanks Tim, great trade and good lesson watching you endure some heat on this pump and dump while it was running out of steam.

  • nifri

    BTB, I just checked yahoo finance and they show trades for today. Forget about GFYX, IB seems to be slow on updating the ticker symbols when companies change tickers. I guess no UPTR trading for now on IB.

  • be the ball

    thx Nifri!

  • be the ball

    Nifri,

    I talked to IB

    Karen S: I will need to send the data base group a request to make the symbol change
    Karen S: it should be available on Tuesday

  • nifri

    BTB, nice, thanks for the effort. Next time I discover a symbol that isn’t available @ IB I’ll also contact IB support. Their support isn’t as bad as I hear around here. The last two times I contacted IB support they responded quickly and helped me quite quickly.

  • carolcj83

    anyone looking at OGXI? I shorted at 19:10…

  • be the ball

    Yeah, Nifri, they are ok for support. Tim doesn’t like them cause they won’t kiss his ass like TOS does but TOS customer service will go to shit once they integrate with AMTD.

  • Tony

    Not sure if I got lucky but I don’t think I did. With your watchlist I had my eye on OGXI to short. However when it went the other way your voice in Part Duex took over, “Buy the breakout, buy the breakout” So when it went past the prevoius high of 15.97 yesterday I got in at 16.6978. I got a little greedy and it still may go up but I took my profit.

    OGXI, $206.00 profit in less than a days work thanks to TimAlerts and PennyStocking Part Duex.

    –Tony

  • hacker2005xp

    UOMO shorted 0.7250 covered 0.39, made 825$ of profit. Thanks TIM. Keep up with good work man.

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

    nice tony, yup u gotta buy the breakout, no matter how unlikely it may seem

  • nifri

    Covered my 3k LBAS short @ avg. 1.06 for a profit of $1348. Had sold yesterday @ avg. 1.51. Thanks Tim. As I write this LBAS already dropped to 0.9. $480 left on the table so far and more as it seems. Pretty good trade anyway.
