15 Low Priced Stocks: Buy & Short Sell Some, Avoid Most, Despise Them All!

Posted by timothysykes on Tue 6th of May, 2008 08:59:05 AM

First, let’s get the fun / useless guessing game contest over with—with YHOO’s $24.37 closing price, there were 2 winners: Ann-Nan Lo $24.50 and DarkMatter $24.24—congrats guys! (UPDATE: Ann-Nan Lo has been disqualified cuz her winning guess was her second…wow, my readers are on top of things!)

Now to business, stocks with predictable charts—doubt any of these topics will get 200+ comments, but gimme a few years to set you straight. Tons of plays, gonna be handicapped yet again by the SEC pattern day trading rule—all that handicapping inspired me to write one hell of a post, which I gotta vet with a lawyer…

VNDA
Yes its bounced, but its a ton off its highs and it’s an earnings play, still watching it, doubt I’ll have the buying power to touch it, f$#@ you SEC!

LGDI
My top play for today, made $350 ayer, look to make more if and when it cracks $4.40 to the downside, could / should move fast when it cracks as that’ll put it slightly down on the day, potential to go all the way down to $4, then it’s a game of whether or not stop losses can get taken out, $4.05-$4.10 if it holds, $3.60-$3.70 if it doesn’t…and this is all of course after the probable / hopeful morning short squeeze, which could / should retest highs, pleaseeeeeeee…game of chess baby, I don’t know how to play, only game I know is PennyStocking where you gotta think a few moves ahead!

SUNV
Kills me I didn’t short into yesterday’s spike, read my twitter message about it (Follow me on there to get quick messages like that), I was all set! That calls for my second f$#@ you to the SEC in as any minutes.

FEED
Lesson in why you don’t scalp these range bound suckers, use my friggin experience to your advantage you dumb Jews!

LLNW
Lionmaster pick, respek!

CHCG
Fous pick, check it!

PKT
You call that a runup, c’mon gimme some more, yo spliff where the weed at?

MVL
Sometimes the obvious stuff works, congrats longs, anybody seen the movie, c’mon gimme some reviews

IDMI
I will not short random penny stocks, I will not short random penny stocks, I will not short random penny stocks, I will not short random penny stocks, I will not short random penny stocks

MNKD
Everybody’s talkin’ all this stuff about this stock, why can’t they just focus on volatile stocks, tell me whyyy

GETC
Now that’s a stock worthy of me showing off its chart, still not up enough to short, shoulda coulda woulda had the balls to buy in

getc1 15 Low Priced Stocks: Buy & Short Sell Some, Avoid Most, Despise Them All!

SKNY
Big big big reversal day, of what 7 cents? This is why you don’t short stocks low, too bad the price wasn’t multipled by 10, cuz then it coulda woulda shoulda actually gone down 50 cents tomorrow instead of the probable 5.

UTVG
Another worthy chart…getting close to resistance at $3

utvg1 15 Low Priced Stocks: Buy & Short Sell Some, Avoid Most, Despise Them All!

VRML
I saved my #2 pick for today near the bottom so those lazy mofos won’t see it and reserve shares to short…it’s not special, I don’t even need to refer to this company directly, I can just summarize by posting three tickers: REED, PSTI and VION…comprendo?

GTXO
Another up and comer to keep an eye on

    MARK - well done man, I been trying to use tim's methods for a few months now but unfortunately I haven't had the best luck. I was wondering if you wanted to team up and be trading buddies it should be much easier to get things right, obviously we would make our own final decisions but might be worth it, whatdaya say?
  • Davey

  • lmsmith
    I missed a lot of action it seemed..
  • covered at 4.40 average, lost of $180, was down $1750, stupid stupid stupid trade, great opportunity for pennystockers to short anywhere from 4.75-5 and cover anywhere from 4 to 4.40
  • BDOG
    Tim I hope you covered at 4.35 on vrml nice bailout> did you?
  • neal

  • somebody pumping VRML pretending to be me!

  • Roderic
    Does TOS still have VRML shares?
  • will im on that boat as well im looking for a good price though, I don't know about 6 by friday but it's looking for a solid gain within the next few weeks
  • will_the_thrill
    tim, did u sign up for the million dollar portfolio on ur fav cnbc?

    Like abk for entry point, still think will hit 6 by Friday.
  • J-Mo
    Tim, I know PAL is a commodities play and you steer away from those, but for 2 days now it's been trading sideways. Where do you see it going from a trend point of view?
  • man this fucker is starting to look like a quick buy and out
  • we all make mistakes, just a part of the game
  • wow timmy sorry to hear about that, hope that fucker drops real quick, vrml is starting to fade down .20 of its high
  • Thinkorswim can't do anything about my screw up so I added 1,000 short at $4.90, now short 2,500 average $4.34, by far one of the stupid mistakes of my career, if not $-wise...gonna be interesting

    ore interesting/safe is ASIA breaking out, not that I have any buying power whatsoever
  • Bob the VC
    Be carefull what you say Short, Richard Branson may fly his space ship to you house and beat you down!! LOL
  • Short
    I'm not shorting VM for intraday play. I'm looking at a slightly longer term of 2 - 5 days. This is truly POS stock. I see some resistance at 3.38. If it breaks down at this level, then it will surely tank.
  • Webster
    I had TDA, cannot get any VRML to short right now at 5. Says not able to short.
  • Bob the VC
    To try to make light of Tim's dilemma, I'm coining a new term.. Tim just "kicked the fan" on this on.. All you WSW watchers know what I'm talking about...
  • Bob the VC
    I seriously hope VRML finds unbreakable resistance at $5 and fades into oblivion..
  • Bob the VC
    Correction- hit $5..

    Damn, I'm earning my Timbucks today..
  • Shthappns
    Noob - OTCBB is the Over The Counter Bulletin Board. Its basically an exchange for stocks that do not qualify for Nasdaq
  • Bob the VC
    I can't believe this $hitbag VRML may hit $5..
  • Bob the VC
    VM at 3.34? Considering it only dropped about 50 cents after yesterday's earnings, I'm not sure I'd expect much from it. Maybe 10-20 cents on a afternoon fade?
  • simonyadig
    OTCBB = over the counter bulletin board

    http://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/otcbb.asp
  • A
    So Tim, b/c of that mistake you dropped down to $17,624?
  • Davey
    Short 1K VRML here, looks Toppy...Try and give Timmy some relief support
  • monkiman
    1k loss... well, you will make it bakk.. LGDI slowly crawling bakkk up
  • Short
    Entering VM, shorted @ 3.34. Check out VM.
  • Bob the VC
    Tim- what are you going to do? Wait it out? You know this $hit bag is going to drop eventually??

    PS- Way to go Tony!!!!
  • Goose
    Good for you Tony ellis.
  • monkiman
    VRML up $1.75...... still waiting for LGDI to spike
  • noobtrader.08
    What is OTCBB???
  • Tony Ellis
    Out AISA 13.70 nice $1200 in three minutes
  • Bob the VC
    Never got in to VRML at 4.25, just said I was thinking about it.. Luckily that Chicken part of my kicked in. I'm almost afraid of this thing with my limit set at $6.. I think if I blink it may trigger..

    That sucks on the false execution Tim, hopefully they fix that for you..
  • what a f$#@en disaster, here i amm thinking i have no share and i'm short, pathetic, must've gotten confused with too many cancelled orders, $1k loss it is...so far
  • will_the_thrill
    CPST not a good short, not volitale, she's been creeping up for a long time now.
  • Davey
    Tim, please tell me they fixed that mistake and you not looking at a 1K loss.
  • Tony Ellis
    ASIA...finally breaking out?
  • Davey
    LOL all of you that shorted VRML at 4.25 should have waited even if it comes back down there was no reason to get in at that point
  • monkiman
    FEED is a fighter, goes down, but alwayz bouncing back up.
  • Davey
    WTF...I thought you cancelled that order a long time ago.
  • damnit my VRML short executed 1,500 shares at $3.99, chatting with thinkorswim now, that should've been cancelled!
  • will_the_thrill
    Timbo, should got that GETC, look at her now.
  • Jeff C
    Hope someone made $ on GETC...nice pick Tim
  • sniper6
    I have never executed a short sell but I'm sick of losing $ all the time. I seem to be pretty good at picking losers so I want to try shorting. I just set up a margin account and am eyeballing both COMS and CPST. Do any experienced short sellers think these are solid choices?
  • Michael
    Short VRML at $4.25
  • davey its no use, they dont have the DVD, they can't understand--people think i overpromote it, they dont realize i cant explain everything in blog posts all the rules are in the friggin DVD
  • Davey
    Guys relax...STOP WANTING TO TRADE EVERY SECOND!...Wait for the plays to come to you
  • Bob the VC
    I own 100 AAPL at a dca of $138... Should have been $119, but I showed a total lack of discipline and tried to scalp.. AAPL will be back at $200 or higher by year end..
  • I don't know why you're all getting so excited about shorting VRML, this thing could spike to $6 or $7 or even $10, squeezing early shorts like u for the fun of it--remember, don't short until u see the white of their eyes, otherwise you're just shorting into random strong penny stocks, i write to protect u...memorize these 2 articles damnit!

    Vodafone inks deal with Apple to sell iPhone in ten countries

    Vodafone, the world's largest mobile phone company in dollar sales, announced Tuesday that it has reached an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone in ten of its markets beginning sometime this year.

    Certainly not a penny stock, but this is a great stock to own
  • Bob the VC
    Make that still got my 500 reserved at TDA. I'll let you guys know if I abandon them..
  • Bob the VC
    Still got 500 at TDA..
  • kish
    what is the good buy to cover order for VRML? shorted @ 4.24$
    TIA
  • J-Mo
    TDA just ran out of shares to short VRML
  • Ann-Nan Lo
    awww, common tim! you never stated that we can
  • Ann-Nan Lo
    awww, common tim! you never stated that we can't twice~~~ at least a book without your autograph~~ plez~~ and I am your #1 fan
  • kish
    VRML just touched 4.40$
  • Bob the VC
    4.40!! WTF!!@!! Dummies and their Market orders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • simonyadig
    Not to toot my own horn (which I am), but I called LGDI as a breakout play at 1.94.

    http://www.hotstockmarket.com/forums/showthread...

    My broker doesn't have any shares available to short. Oh well.
  • Bob the VC
    So I didn't move my limit to 4.25, but had I, I would be tea-bagging it right now!
  • JensGould
    lgdi has a 100k share buy sitting at 4. i highly doubt it stays when the price actually gets there. i'm getting antsy. break 4 you little bitch!
  • kish
    put an order(sell short) on VRML @4.24
  • Bob the VC
    Anyone short VRML yet, or are well all stalking our prey?
  • yea that ride up would have been nice, and to catch it again on the way down would be just as nice. Good Luck man
  • simonyadig
    Just busting your chops buddy.

    Can someone spare a Timbuck?
  • Bob the VC
    No, shorting, I just don't want to enter to low, and I think we may see one more spike that could potentially pick up a $4.25 short limit.. Had I had ANY idea this thing would have gone this ballistic this AM, I would have loved to ridden it up and down!!
  • wait nm spike almost triggered your limit.
  • Bob the VC
    damn you're a little bitch! hahah
  • bob your buying VRML not shorting?
  • i'm extremely nice to y mo, but dont bother me when i'm trading...that goes for your pesky IMers who keep IMing me even after I say "shhhh, trading". this game requires focus
  • Bob the VC
    debating on if I want to move my VRML to 4.25 and wait it out. I have a feeling when this thing drops it's going to drop fast..
  • simonyadig
    Um, I meant Wallstreet Warriors. duh
  • simonyadig
    Just finished watching weekend warriors. Tim, be nicer to your mom!!!!!! After she's driven 1.5 hours to do your chores and to see you, at least give her your undivided attention for 10 seconds to say good bye.
  • Michael
    Well Ryan I think by end of day VNDA will start its fade and tomorrow will be at $5.40 range
  • Bob the VC
    VRML- WTF? How do you even work with something that moves like this?
  • Ryan
    Michael,
    VNDA is not crashing yet. Even though there are plenty of sellers around $6 but there are lots of buyers around $5.50-$5.80 area on level II. I am also watching this one. Shoulda, woulda, coulda bought at open ($5.50) and dumped at $6 or above but just didn't have balls:(
  • Davey
    LGDI coming back a bit at 4.30 now
  • Ryan
    Just found out Ameritrade has as many shares of VRML to short even under $5, so everybody who has Ameritrade account can swarm there to short VRML.
  • Michael
    Anyone short VNDA yet? looks ready to crash
  • Ryan
    Reserved 1300 shares of VRML to short at $5.01, if it hits there today.
  • Bob the VC
    I've got 500 VRML reserved. Almost got my limit picked up on a spike! Damn I'm an amature.. I've moved the order a bit further out of range for now..

    Tim- a quick request; When listing the stocks, can you go back to listing them as .OB or .PK as you did yesterday, so those of us with accounts that don't allow shorting of those to know if we should even bother to look into them? That was very helpful.
  • all about learning from your mistakes--when I stupid lost 4300 on that mxc traded i never wanted to do, i know to put my limits as high as possible--since my buying power prevented me from doing that on VRML, i just cancelled entirely, i can cal up my chat window and get them back anytime...great example
  • RT dropped off they're pre-market gain, along with VM. Covered both on my survivor acct today. 1.04/share with VM at 5000 shares, and .63/share with RT at 1000 shares. LGDI is jumping again 4.25 right now
  • Davey
    LOL VRML 4.70
  • VRML sooo thinly traded, let it run, I still have y shares borrowed for the day, just in no rush to use em
  • Davey
    VRML RTQ 3.65, this might be a better play going into the afternoon than LGDI if LGDI keeps falling.
  • Davey
    VRML still spiking
  • Yes I meant KYUS sorry about that hahaa MXFD yes finally fading
  • manhack read comment #7, there are reasons why i prefer shorting in the afternoon, this is a good example
  • manhack
    LGDI: You think this might have another leg up after this?
  • its not about balls, its about capital
  • Investorslive - I assume you meant KYUS and not MXFD making highs? MXFD has been fading for a few days, plus it is irrelevant for everyone here--impossible to get shares to short.
  • bullpicks6
    CPHI only long play i'm in today
  • GTXO another of the under the radars.... MXFD making highs and BANI trying to be like them but no volume
  • bullpicks6
    ELDO short lived CNBC pump
  • bullpicks6
    LGDI timmmber, stop losses will have to fill here...
  • Davey
    Tim, I can not wait until 25-30K when we have the balls to hold these and follow the damn pattern that seems to do the same everytime. LGDI the latest stock to continue the fall the day after.
  • bullpicks6
    RUNU, bollinger bands indicate a break to me, guessing .15 cent scalper
  • bullpicks6
    I've played CHCG many times...looks like a buy if it breaks $2, but I don't really think it will, rumors are they are going to be reporting bad earnings yet again...
  • cancelled my VRML order, not enough buying power to worry about it executing

    LGDI, quick 20 cent tank, but i wouldnt be surprised to see one big spike worth shorting into
  • Davey
    Damn LGDI tanking quick
  • damn LGDI cant even gap up, c'mon pumpers, where's your spirit fingers!
  • Roderic
    No more shares available now at think or swim
  • Davey
    Got 1K LGDI and 1K VRML locked up as well, same here with not enough BP to borrow as much as I want. Looks like VRML is gonna gap up.
  • Got 2k VRML and 2k LGDI borrowed and reserved, wish I could borrow more, but I've got no more buying power :(
  • on MVL - The movie was awesome as I predicted it would be. Robert Downey is the perfect Tony Stark and with solid acting from the rest of the cast, Jon Favreau at the helm, and amazing visual effects...this is a hit. $100+ million at the box office. I bought MVL at $29 last Tuesday. Volume still looks good and Hulk comes out later so this should be a winner this summer. read the post on my blog about it.
