Lessons Of A Publisher/Video Blogger/Trader (In That Order)

Posted by timothysykes on Mon 12th of May, 2008 06:44:44 PM

Looks like I should’ve scheduled my video interview for after hours because I got back after the market close to find myself down 40 cents/share on CNEX—which practically guarantees a higher opening tomorrow (even if the bid is pretty much where I shorted), I missed on NNVC’s perfect afternoon 25 cent/share fade (any of you guys get in on that?), which shoulda woulda coulda been a solid profit on my 2,000 shares (reserved earlier).

And just to rub it in, I missed out on PDO squeezing the stubborn shorts (who obviously haven’t watched PennyStocking or else they’d be out looooong ago, as I was) into the market close (I saw the morning spike above previous high of $9, but I don’t like buying, let alone buying morning spikes), which coulda woulda shoulda been bought for a probable gap-up/possible big-time morning spike tomorrow.

Education of a Speculator - Forge the fact that Victor has blown up twice now, he’s still worth a few million and he’s had some great runs. Perhaps he should just stop using leverage! Yah right, like that’ll ever happen—the best thing this book will do is to teach you to think differently.

The Disciplined Trader - Wish I’d read this earlier in my career, but alas, somehow it didn’t make the cut for far too long. Don’t make that same mistake, read this and learn from the grand daddy of trading psychology books.

Bernard M Baruch - God, I love stories of truly successful financial speculators—Baruch was one of the best. And even though this book doesn’t go into specific details of his strategies, it’s a great overview of the lifestyle and thinking of a successful trader.

12 Hot Stocks For Manipulation Monday, Wish It Was Supernova Sunday

Posted by timothysykes on Mon 12th of May, 2008 08:16:19 AM

PSTI
Everybody and their mother is contacting me about this pump and dump to short…now that I have some capital/trades available to me this week, I might short it, but it is down $2 in 6 days and there’s really only $1 of downside left

XRM
March’s big drop was due to its debtload, now a solid earnings report has brought it back up…not a pump and dump, I’ll avoid it…for now

SSBX
It’s a friggin Bancorp! That just reeks of boredom…barely up, let e know when it go up ore than 50%, or changes its name and gets into cancer research of wind energy

APWR
Speaking of breaking wind, this guy just broke out for a second time in a few months, seems ike forever since THIS post (why I’m anti-investing), although it was about as gradual as my descent into madness, aka not all. I trust this company about as much as I enjoy pissing into a wind blower, but I respect this breakout enough not to short it…yet

apwrbreakout 12 Hot Stocks For Manipulation Monday, Wish It Was Supernova Sunday

VRML
Watch, it’s gonna tank below $2.50 today just to piss me off. Beautiful thing about PennyStocking
is that despite my passengers-watching-an-Arab-on-an-airplane-like patience, the longer you hold these ideal plays, usually the better. I’m fine with my 20% profit though…

Thank The SEC For Once: Wall Street Warriors Open Casting Call

Posted by timothysykes on Sun 11th of May, 2008 10:24:14 AM

wswmojo Thank The SEC For Once: Wall Street Warriors Open Casting Call

Most reality shows gets tens to hundreds of thousands of applicants so the chances of actually getting picked are like the chances of me kissing and making up with the SEC aka slim to none. But not so in the joke that is the finance industry.

Thanks to absurd, blatantly anti-American regulations (SEC take a bow) limiting freedom of speech, freedom of the press and basically everything to which we Americans take for granted, firms and industry insiders won’t allow video cameras—and even more dangerous a possible international audience—to view such XXX-rated evils like stock trading and brokers baiting and switching! Money-making is simply too scandalous to ever be allowed to go mainstream, the public just wouldn’t be able to handle it, right?

This is why our children, influenced by TV/society, ignore finance/using their brains in favor of more animalistic/primitive pursuits, trying to perfect their voices (American Idol), muscles (ARod or American Gladiator) or looks (America’s Next Top Model) to get rich and famous.

Pathetic.

Luckily, if you don’t give a flying f$#@ about some imaginary line drawn by corrupt balding bastards (encore bow SEC…hmmm, they really like the ephors in the movie 300 aren’t they?) or if your firm is crappy/desperate enough to be willing to bend the rules, I give you THIS open Wall Street Warriors casting call. This Tuesday afternoon.

Posted by timothysykes on Sat 10th of May, 2008 04:48:29 PM

The popularity of last week’s entertaining but inevitably useless contest got me thinking–I wondered how many people would enter a contest where they might learn something, meaning they’d actually have to do a little work? So, I give you NT Holding Corp (NTHH.OB), a sketchy sketchy sketchy stock that decupled (10x) in price last week on some surprisingly not-so-insignificant trading volume.

Feel Good Friday: Nailing A Perfect Short Sale On Vermillion, Inc. (VRML)

Posted by timothysykes on Fri 9th of May, 2008 05:53:59 PM

Was I bitter that a stupid mistake cost me between $750 and $1,000 in missed profits the first time VRML squeezed the shorts (as I posted helping other, not knowing I was already short!)? You bet I was! Was I going to let it influence my future trades on that stock or any other? Hell no!

So, after surging pretty much straight from $1 to $5, back down to $3 and then squeezing a few over confident shorts to $4 in a few days all on an ill-researched media story, on Wednesday, I posted how I shorted 1,300 VRML (all I could find) at $3.75, a little too early, but I was confident since I knew this thing would be volatile and shorts would be aggressive.

A few hours into my short, when it was a typical 25 cent profit (as you know I take too many of those) in the $3.50 range, I posted how I was gonna have patience on this one and cover under $3 cuz it was one of the few truly ideal PennyStocking Supernovas to pop its trashy head up in the past few months, even if as I also noted that this was the 3rd great shortable penny stock action in as many days (LGDI which I made $350 on and VRML round one, where I screwed up and lost $180, even while calling it perfectly for readers!)

TIMradio #3: Tom Sosnoff, Founder of Online Broker Thinkorswim

Posted by timothysykes on Fri 9th of May, 2008 02:21:29 PM

As I sit here waiting for the near-inevitable crack in VRML’s stock price, I thought I’d offer up a podcast for your listening and learning pleasure: You’ve all heard me talk about how much I love and recommend Thinkorswim as a broker–not only do they have the best customer service/software, but they have solid borrows through Penson and most importantly, the people at the company actually try to help customers instead of ripping them off. Maybe that’s why there’s a Chicago-based firm, not NYC.

So for TIMradio podcast #3, I was fortunate to have a fine little chat with the man behind the curtain, Thinkorswim’s founder himself, Tom Sosnoff. Besides being a legendary options trader and frequent industry speaker, he’s one hell of a laidback / good guy…one of the few out there…so I hope I can still be like him when I’m that rich! Somehow I think all that power and money will go to my head…we’ll see.

Interview with ThinkorSwim Founder Tom Sosnoff

PS You’ll hear me say this is the first TIMradio, well, it turned out to be #3, but it’s still #1 in my heart :)

10 Hot Stocks & Other Cynical Views On The Trashy World Of Penny Stocks

Posted by timothysykes on Fri 9th of May, 2008 07:44:31 AM

VRML Still 1,300 Shares short @ $3.75
LGDI

Both are supernovas, LGDI near its highs, but VRML still up waaay more %-wise…both have fading volume, both can still squeeze shorts even though they’ll probly fail. I’m short VRML cuz it’s up on stock promoters, ill-researched media story and best of all the company is a truly failing biotech microcrap in the same vein as REED, VION, DARA and PSTI—each of which also jumped 200%+ and have now retraced ALL of their gains (PSTI is only halfway, but give its also the newest)

VRML coulda woulda shoulda gone negative on the day, cracking the key $3.40 yesterday, but they smartly issued a fluffy PR I won’t dignify linking to (they formed a committee)(you think they don’t know that would squeeze some shorts c’mon, this is the beauty of pumping–they don’t have actual business to tie them down, their business is getting the stock up!…still, after an initial spike, very nice gradual downtrending all day, great sign, sooner or later, we’ll get some panic selling

HDSN
You can’t stop this air conditioner play (seriously) after it just reported solid earnings…good for 25 cents/share intraday peaks and valleys, if you’re into that sort of thing

OIL
Woooo $125, I don’t care. I hope it goes to $1,000, then we’ll get plenty of great oil pump and dumps and our short selling profits will be that much greater when the whole world is in the midst of a crippling depression!

My 20 All-Time Favorite Finance Books (Part 1)

Posted by timothysykes on Thu 8th of May, 2008 04:10:56 PM

These are my favs, ranked in order of how much of a fav they are–whether enjoyment or education-wise. You can see my whole 300 business library HERE (or at least what we’ve put up so far)

Notice there are few “How To” books—I believe success is more about understanding the variables and players behind the scenes so you can adapt to the inevitable changes. So, I prefer autobiographies—experiences full of lessons told through the eyes of the experienced who’ve learned those lessons the hard way so you don’t have. Throw in a few financial history classics and some trading psychology gems and you’ve got yourself one hell of a financial education. Just order the whole lot of ‘em, the cost of these books are a small price to pay for the money they’re gonna save you in the markets.

[HTML2]

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator - My all-time favorite book, not just because it’s quick, entertaining, meaningful, practical, inspirational and timeless…okay well, yeah because of all that. Before you ever trade another stock, read this book!

[HTML3]An American Hedge Fund - C’mon, you knew I had to mention this if only because I’ve never read any other book so many times. Granted, some of that was for editing purposes, but I really think I nailed what the life of a stock trader is like—the passion, the nervousness, the anxiety, the restlessness—it’s not just about the money, it’s a great profession for those willing to challenge themselves and see what they’re made of. And, considering 90% of traders lose money, I wish there were a lot more brutally honest books like this.

[HTML4]

How To Make Money In Stocks - My top pick for beginners, this sucker has sold 1+ million copies…besides CANSLIM investing being a successful strategy, it’s now just all one big self-fulfilling prophecy—don’t be the only one on the block who hasn’t read this…lots of angles to profit from its popularity.

[HTML5]

Japanese Candlestick Charts - by Nison. If you’re gonna trade based on chart patterns, you need to know how to read candlesticks. This is a semi-expensive book so all you homeless people are gonna have to go to your local library to read it.

Why PennyStocking Is Not An Optional Course, It’s Required

Posted by timothysykes on Thu 8th of May, 2008 12:29:41 PM

You know why I’m always promoting my 6-hour PennyStocking instructional DVD package? (See the first independent thorough review HERE) It’s definitely not about the money—not yet anyway—it’s to help teach you guys the rules of trading penny stocks that I’ve learned the hard way over the past 9 years. I’m giving you my battle-tested rules of engagement that I wish someone had given me when I first started or even now cuz anyone with a decade of market dominating success is someone worth listening to and learning from.

Don’t say you’re gonna dip your toe in penny stocks and make some amateur error, writing it off as “why penny stocks are like gambling” or how it’s “part of your penny stock education”. My DVD is your tuition—I should probly get it accredited or something—not the more expensive stupid trading losses!

You want some examples? Fine, I’ve got plenty of them (people, I’m gonna use your comments not to be mean but to make examples out of you…it’s not like any of you use your full name anyway!)

First that comes to mind is Wes shorting SIX after a morning panic 10% drop. Stupid stupid stupid…even though I occasionally short in morning, I don’t recommend it—there’s too many spikes, the afternoon is usually much more gradual. And, even when I do short, I short looking for that morning panic, NEVER after it!

A Short Seller’s Dozen: What Stocks Get Pumped, Must Come Down, Usually

Posted by timothysykes on Thu 8th of May, 2008 07:26:44 AM

VRML Short 1,300 @$3.75
LGDI
SUNV

Getting up bright and early, I reserved shares in all three of these stocks to possibly short today, not knowing which I’d actually short. LGDI didn’t even trade for 5 minutes and when it did, it moved slower than an under-cooked lobster. SUNV didn’t breach the key $1.20 level until the afternoon (when I had no trades left), so it was all about VRML.

I wanted to short into strength cuz it was a classic short covering rally from yesterday’s $1.75 pullback off the highs…given the magnitude of the declines and that it’s still up 300+% in a few days—on an ill-researched story thinking this near bankrupt company will do anything but go under—meant short sellers would be aggressive. Afraid I’d miss the probable pullback, I jumped the gun too early, shorting 1,300 shares at $3.75…as I watched it hang around $3.90 x $4 for another 30 min, I wasn’t very worried as the big buyer blocks were only on the bids—the wall of sellers at $4 never in danger of cracking—a clear sign of pumpers trying to scare up buyers/short covering…inevitably, the volume faded, the bids disappeared and the stock spent the day chomping gradually away at its early gains, few buy orders at the ask. I’d call it a perfect crack of sideways price action in the $3.60 range, but it still managed to finish up on the day, so it’ not totally perfect…just yet.

Despite my poor timing, I’ve got a nice $380 profit so far, I let it ride overnight cuz I think it goes under or around $3 today or tomorrow, possible big stop loss panic if it take out $3, might get to cover at $2.60-$2.75ish if I’m lucky.

VNDA
Nice gradual fade, but not my ideal PennyStocking short, too tight a chart/variables not fraudulent enough to squeeze one in

BDCO
Everyone’s goin crazy over an 18 cent gain, leme know when it gets to $3, until then jewwwww noooo

The Timothy Sykes / A Sponsor To Be Named Later College Tour 2008/2009

Posted by timothysykes on Wed 7th of May, 2008 03:18:03 PM

tim_college_tour The Timothy Sykes / A Sponsor To Be Named Later College Tour 2008/2009

After testing out my out my public speaking skills at University of Arizona, Rutgers University, University of Minnesota, Baruch College and Options University’s Online Trading Expo and receiving loud rounds of applause, more than one standing ovation and some great feedback (which you can see below), I’m ready to plan a national speaking tour! Students from the University of Maryland and University of Florida have already contacted me, but I wanna make one massive list right here so I can show sponsors and be all organized…somewhat.

So, if you’re a college student, frat brother, president of college/high school organization, basically whoever is part of some big community whose minds I can warp, leave a comment below so we can put this thing together, either gonna be in Fall 208 or Spring 2009!

Here’s just a sampling of the many testimonials:

“Attracting a diverse crowd of students from the University of Minnesota with varying levels of interest in Finance, Tim’s story kept everyone on the edge of their seats and asking for more. His casual demeanor, hysterical life experiences, and avant-garde trading style were both eye opening and entertaining. Overall, students left feeling inspired and motivated to learn more about finance as a hobby and potentially a career. Definitely a breath of fresh in the world of investing.”

Hey, Randall Lane, You Sick Twisted Son Of A Bitch, Remember Me?

Posted by timothysykes on Wed 7th of May, 2008 11:42:57 AM

randall Hey, Randall Lane, You Sick Twisted Son Of A Bitch, Remember Me? Photo Of Randall Lane By Chester Higgins Jr./The New York Times

Note: Aside from the last paragraph this post is written following the journalistic style of Randall Lane—treating assumptions and circumstantial evidence as fact. It’s cruel, amateurish and immature—oh yes, I know—but that basically sums this guy up so in order to help him grow up, he must be given a taste of his own medicine.

To those who don’t care and just want stock picks—this is also a great lesson on how to pounce when your enemy is wounded, no different than the vultures who took out Bear or LTCM.

Last time Randall Lane, editor-in-chief of Traitor Monthly was in Page Six, he was attacking a small-time trader (me) because his magazine staff fumbled, disinviting me from their little party at the last minute after we’d been discussing my covering the event for MSN Money for days.

Clearly in the wrong, this balding bastard was forced to go on the offensive, charging my hedge fund’s losses were the result of my publicity hounding rather than bothering to research the matter like a responsible journalist might do (turning his nose up at the complimentary book I’d sent him weeks before that explained the situation in detail) and running his arrogant mouth off to the press, confident of favorable treatment due to his connected Forbes wife.

Now, just a few months later, the tables have turned as Lane himself was fired as publisher of the Player’s magazine by Lenny “Nails” Dykstra who called Randy boy out on what he’s becoming known for, trash talking when he doesn’t get his way: “If you want to fight, take me on. Don’t go behind my back and bad mouth me,” said Dykstra. “He thinks I’m going to buckle,” said Dykstra, referring to Doubledown President Randall Lane. “I don’t buckle - I go to war.”

Timmayyy’s 20 Totally Tubular Tickers To Trade Through Thinkorswim Today To Thursday

Posted by timothysykes on Wed 7th of May, 2008 08:31:01 AM

LGDI
Still on watch for a break under $4, gonna be tough to do from here, today at least, actually consolidated well until the last 5 minutes…still wouldn’t be surprised to see a big 50 cent-$1 upwards spike or at least that’s what I be praying for, oh yah man!

VRML
Mistake of the millennium yesterday, still gonna be volatile

ASIA
Now that’s a breakout…PennyStocking DVD student and upcoming grandmaster Tony Ellis kindly alerted everyone to this and then proceeded to make a quick $1,200 in 3 minutes…That’s right, the DVD preaches that you should these pieces of junk on breakouts, too—just as I did with COIN back a few months ago during a live radio interview

CSIQ
Trying to do the same kind of breakout—doesn’t interest me in the least, would require waaaaay too much precious buying power

SUNV
Finally a stock that doesn’t require much buying power—but it does waste a precious trade, a double jewww yahhhh f$%# you to my friends over at the SEC for that one! Volume’s fading though…gotta crack $1.25 to have any chance

Controlling A Stupid Trading Mistake Means An Opportunity Lost

Posted by timothysykes on Tue 6th of May, 2008 08:47:26 PM

Despite my rather long list of potential plays I posted this morning, I had two clear favorites—LGDI and VRML—two sketchy and failing, respectively, penny stocks that were up in excess of 100% over the past few days on fluffy news, a contract and a poorly researched NBC video claiming this near bankrupt company was gonna cure Ovarian Cancer (seriously, I can’t make this junk up), respectively again. So, at 7am (early bird gets the worm), I dutifully reserved 2,000 shares of each stock to short—as both were hard-to-borrow—putting my limit orders waaaaay above (or as high as my buying power would let me) their current price, LGDI at $5.49 and VRML at $3.99, intent on ratcheting the down if and when I wanted to short.

Fearful of a large VRML price surge, I commented on my blog post at 9:36am “cancelled my VRML order, not enough buying power to worry about it executing” and focused on LGDI—as it was weak the day before. Tried shorting my 2,000 shares right near its weak open at $4.35, but didn’t get executed…it quickly dropped to $4.10ish, but I didn’t want to chase it…fearful of a morning fakeout (proven correct over the rest of the day—good avoidance)

Next up was VRML, which was spiking from $3 to $4.75…I posted “VRML sooo thinly traded, let it run, I still have my shares borrowed for the day, just in no rush to use em” Whew, glad I canceled my short at $3.99, as I celebrated in a post at 10:05am. Still, at $4.25, everybody is talking about shorting it, so I post THESE rules about patience

But now at 11am, I figure it’d be good to re-enter my short, so I login…wait a minute—WTF, my short had executed at $3.99?!?!?! I posted my disbelief as I chatted with Thinkorswim to see if there was anything that could be done about this error.

My Huffington Post Interview & Why My Readers Will Soon Be Richer Than Me

Posted by timothysykes on Tue 6th of May, 2008 02:50:57 PM

Check it out HERE–it’s definitely a solid interview and it’s great when a reporter actually takes the time to make sure the facts are correct (yeah suck on that Randall Lane, I’ve got an article coming about you tomorrow!)

PS Even though I screwed up today’s perfect PennyStocking plays rather royally–although controlled losses well–my analysis was dead on, so I’m pretty damn proud and happy that many of you readers banked. Here’s a quick and dirty rundown:

PennyStocking student Davey and Mark shorted VRML around $4.60, Davey covering conservatively at $4.33, Mark still waiting to cover (as of the last comment saw). Ryan shorted some at $4.65 and $5, covering all at $3.70, posting a great comment “With more than $3500 made in a single day today, I am up 72.86% up in 4 months. All this credit goes to our number one Tim!!”

But the gains weren’t limited to VRML alone. Tony Ellis banked $1,200 on COIN, Shthappns banked on UFPT…any others, I can’t even keep track of all the comments today—so please comment about your winners–and losers–in this post so we can see how everyone’s doing! Last one to $1 million is a dirty Jew!

Stock Puppets: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cutting Through Industry BS

Posted by timothysykes on Tue 6th of May, 2008 11:51:28 AM

sock_puppet Stock Puppets: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cutting Through Industry BS

When I created this book-blog-DVD publishing business model that is BullShip Press, LLC, I figured I’d repeat my feat, become the top ranked / most popular guy on Covestor, show everyone exactly how to turn thousands into millions trading fantastically predictable penny stocks without using any leverage whatsoever, cut through all the industry corruption and ego, teach a few people and many former suckers how to profit from it, and piss a few others off by promoting my book An American Hedge Fund and instructional DVD PennyStocking in EVERY blog post (cuz they’re that important / helpful / necessary and help cut down too many questions / emails I get).

Everything’s been going well—and then, a few weeks ago, I discovered some bastard using a variation of my name, “timsykus1” on the animalistic Yahoo! message boards. I did some research and discovered the term for this kind of deceit is a “sock puppet”. I thought, okay, that was bound to happen, ignore it.

Flash forward to last night when I’m doing my nightly screen for potential pump and dumps and I come upon VRML, a miserably failing biotech in the same vein as its Paulie-from-the-movie-Rocky-like relatives REED, PSTI and VION, all of which were great to short sell into. And lo and behold, who do I see promoting this thing that belongs in a toilet—yup, “timsykus1” again, using my good name—at least to those who are blind in one eye—to pump this stock!

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!
