Did I Do That? Pump & Dump Exposes And Revolutionary Finance Websites

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

With my CNOA pump and dump expose last night and it’s 25% tankage today, I gotta wonder:

Possibly, probly, who knows…too bad I wasn’t short the stock myself—gotta learn to short sell these suckers BEFORE I chop ‘em to pieces, a la business models of Citron Research and Mark Cuban’s ShareSleuth.com

Nahhhhhhhh a.) it didn’t fit my pattern and b.) it’s more fun to write brutally truthful articles about stocks in which you have no positions, you do it just cuz it’s the right thing to do

I’ll tell you one thing I definitely did do right, that’s hiring and tirelessly working with Pallian to design the new site, which is looking redonkulous! I mean the guy is an Indian Picasso, he should be called Ghandcasso or Picandhi. To you lucky 50, advertisers and bloggers, the beta invites are being emailed out, so def. let me know what you think—what you like and don’t like, the site is for you—and for everyone else, you gotta wait til May 1st and settle for clicking the little thumbnail below:

    Tim- the new site looks great. There’s so much going on, but it is organized well… not to mention the better positioning of ad space. I think it’ll be a step in the right direction to help people navigate your site better…

    SMI is “speculation” of an investor… might be worth at least watching…

    KOG’s trading reminds me a lot like cot. looks like heavy support by people who shouldn’t be in charge of that much money. Might get a nice sell off in the morning though?

    Hello Tim,

    I follow your blog for inspiration and motivation. I admire the passion you have for what you do.

    Regarding your new website, I think you are selling out on what I really like about this one. The new site seems to have no immidiate focus on its theme with so many different sections and no color harmony. Reminds me of the Pop-nography magazines my girlfriend likes to read.

    Think about Robert Kiyosaki’s image brand: fonts, icons and colors. That is what I thought you were trying to do with this website; to create cohesiveness. Your opinions, picks, rants, advice-your brand, it all came together here.

    I am just commenting from a designers perspective since I know you are the kind of person that can appreciate value.

    I look forward to bring you some questions to get your input.

    I wish you continued success.

    Jorge Morales

    One last question for you TIM i entered KOG at 2.74 where would you teach someone to cut their losses if this thing runs up in after hours or in the morning..kind of give us a lil lesson on what to expect tommorrow..keep up the good work and have a vodka and tonic on me from my psti blessing

  • timsykes

    i like cutting my losses immediately, but since KOG is such a strong longterm dw0ontrend, i’m gonna give this a little leeway…obviously anything over $3 and u just gotta get out, but ideally it wont even be able to break $2.80–now with the strong close, $2.80 might not be so meaningful and u gotta step back and look at it from a daily perspective saying it was up today but only a few cents, if it cant get some big gains tomorrow, the momentum is lost

    also volume is scorching, not sure how long it can keep that up, usually signs of a top…but then again its a commodities play so the pattern might be irrelevant. just gotta let it play out, nowhere near as certain as PSTI

  • ViciousChicken

    Tim I’m in with you on KOG. I shorted at $2.80 not long after it started it’s sideways run. I’m only in for about 1/8th the position you’re in for though (all my funds are tied up in long longs. I’ve gotta create a second account…).

    While I agree that KOG is being heavily affected by the commodity side of the market, there is no way that accounts for the amount they’re currenly up. Lets hope for a big sell of in the AM.

    Tim, I’m watching Cramer right now, and it seems like you’re doing pretty much what he’s been doing, but with pennystocks. Why do you rip on him? I kinda like the guy, you’re sure you’re not following in his footsteps. I know you rip on him sometimes, but I like his style and yours too.

    Anyways that preview of the website is mad torture, I can’t wait. It looks great, man. Oh yeah, I see you in young money again. ha you shouldn’t keep saying “you’re not smart”, you’re damn smart and highly creative too man. keep up the good work.

    I’m with Jorge Morales on this – the new site, while crazy and entertaining, is going to be a departure from the simple, professional Tim I knew . . . I think you should at least have an option to turn off (or down) the level of crazitude inherent in the new page.

    Like, look at Yahoo.com and google.com (not to be crass and obvious with my analogies), and seriously, think about encouraging readership rather than stimulating eyes. You might get more pagehits (something I even advocated for you aspiring to in a previous comment) but I think you might lose some of the regulars in the process.

    I’ll still show up, of course. But I do hope the entire site doesn’t end up covered in neon/fucking moving ads/embedded videos. That’d destroy your look, austere aesthetic, etc. And it’d certainly drive people away in droves as the site aggressively tries to show you its content.

    On the other hand, I love the idea of segments of the page for different things – the compartmentalization is great. Keep it up!

    lame uber nube question but…. when you refer to shorting a stock that means you hope to see the stock dropp in price.
    you always seem to say how you buy “short” and make money on the drops and not the ups, your style is about the dropps?
