    Hey, how far do you expect this to fall? It might be a worthwhile short if it goes back to where it came from.

    gotta take out 2-day support in the $4.35-$4.45 range, but if that happens, u could/should get a morning panic taking out stop losses at $4…i aim to cover in the mid 3s

    How do you calculate the cover in the mid 3′s, isn’t the next support @ 4 ish? Is it just a safe distance from the most important support?

    Hell, I know you don’t use fibronacchi retracements (they don’t fucking work anyway).

    NEED ADVICE – what brokers do you all have that let you short these penny stocks? Ameritrade almost never lets me short these dogs, the only one I got successfully lately was USU. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Tim, you don’t need to be arrogant and insult others calling lazy. Do you remember your commitment to teach others though this whole TIM thing. You should make a page for FAQ to newbies rather than insulting telling them you have to repeatdly answer the same questions.

  • What Bubba Found Out

    Commissions? Nobody worries that nowadays, do they? Think of all the calls made to customers by brokers with ideas about what the coolest option manipulation/position would be for the customer’s account. Think about the commissions those customers are paying. I’d rather follow Cramer’s advice. Yow-Zah! Like the book says: if it’s named after a critter, it probably ain’t got much probability for profit (altho the potential may look good on paper). Yow-Zah!

    Windin’ and unwindin’ keeps the old watch runnin’, don’t it?

    Tim,
    what trading platform do you use.
    You had mentioned trading station.
    I contacted them, and they do not short
    penny stocks.
