Sykes’ 11: Some Pretty Decent Trading Setups You Must See

Posted by timothysykes on Tue 22nd of Jul, 2008 09:19:56 AM

ZYXI is one in which I’m extremely comfortable being short 1,000 shares at $3.18 cuz as I told TIMalert subscribers (who also managed to grab 99% of the shares available to short), I’ll either get a morning panic or gradual fade over the next few days as is foretold to me by God. Yes, that’s right, God came down and showed me their quarterly report containing quotes like “We plan to increase our penetration of the standard electrotherapy market by further expanding our sales organization and broadening our product offering” and this gem: “For this reason we may raise additional capital through debt or equity financing in 2008.” which added together makes it rather obvious that this company is gonna dilute their stock sooner rather than later—no different than a million other piece of microcraps raising money like Agfeed Industries (FEED) (remember that blog post?) (look at that chart and tell me it’s not ZYXI..PS FEED is 40% lower now)—and this runup is likely orchestrated by those in on that deal. Yes, God, I love this corrupt microcrap financing game, keeps companies like RedChip aka RedSh%& in business LOL

WSCI turned out to be good for a 50 cent morning tan yesterday, I hesitated and missed out, just never really looked ideal, although it was a high percentage short off the failure to crack resistance at $10…expect further weakness, but I really only wanna short into a big ass spike

FEED is an old “earnings pumper” like WSCI that got hit by reality the past few months, now similarly bouncing, look to short, but again really too gradual for my tastes. Lebed, can you pump this thing for me? FEED pay the man, he’ll pump you up! Lebed, I also want a finders’ fee.

MWY—speaking of Lebed pumping, this kind of chart is what happens when Lebed pumps, rumors abound of takeover, other crap & a perfect chart breakout at $3…NYSE asking for comment from company, definitely reserve shares to short as this one is up from $2.25 gonna be volatile though, I hate rumor plays…

CHCI is the latest penny pumper, reserve shares to short, this could be a nice multi-day runner before its inevitable collapse like so many others like NNVC, SKNY, uhh soo much hype, it’s overwhelming sometimes

VRNM has gotta get to $2 resistance to really interest me in shorting such a gradual mover

OWW is rebounding, but it’s not volatile enough for me

AVR & VSE were upgraded by an ANALyst—big whoop, when’s the last time you remember an ANALyst being right? 1999? (Whitney doesn’t count she’s bearish, I can’t rip on a fellow bear)…both have room to run, would love to short ‘em if they get close to resistance at $8 going into earnings

CRNT is an earnings spike, so don’t think about shorting it

CHCG broke out of resistance at $2, still don’t trust it to go much further though

    Possible buyout at $15 a share.
  • MARC
    BXG a huge gainer today. any thoughts on shorting this stock?
  • Man I wish I could short...
  • PCola, yeah I knew that, but it looks like most of the dumping
  • manhack
  • longshort28
    What's up with Airlines today? All of them are up by 50%. I wish I had bought it yesterday :)

    I am still confused how market is reacting lately. I shorted 100 stock of WB yesterday and did make few bucks today morning by covering it but right now it is green. I mean wtf company has written off 9Bn and still it is green.
  • lakhanin
    Does Tim cover how he finds stocks in the Pennystocking DVD?
  • SFG
    Check out WM. Breaking down nicely....
    Shorted 3k @ 5.45
  • vo
    Long on LCC since 2.93...when to let go...?
  • vo
    TommyTim...UAUA now at 7:35.....ouch!
  • PCola
    TMoney, were you around for the HYHY short? It was puimped by a paid snail mailer that someone paid almost $4mil to send out (I got one, so did most traders I know). So they had a lot of shares to dump most likely. I woudl be careful going long on this one, but you never know.
  • I think hyhy is setting up for a break out if it can get pasght 1.46, I bought at 1.22 though. What do you think. And can you post a couple longs because I still don't have enough money to short yet...lol..soon..
    what about hygs
  • Alex
    bull raid on PNCL coming?
  • younggunz
    Made my first TimAlert trade this morning with ZYXI at short 200 shares 3.16 on the open. I watched it tank to 2.80ish and even posted on the timalert site as it was panicing and contemplating to sell then with a ~$80 profit in like 30seconds. However it bounced back quickly to 3.16 again then danced around 3.00 for a long time. When it started trending back up I covered to make it exactly even with commission. Looks like I should have held strong since it is back down to 2.81. Would have put me at 80% of my goal of atleast $100 a week.
  • Alex
    Buying some PNCL here...may run like JBLU and UAUA
  • Zoltran
    Yeah I probaly beat you by half a second there sniper. ROX, looks like a good short at .50. This stock looks like rags.
  • Couple of long plays to check out:

    LBAS closed at it's all time high yesterday after a few weeks of consolidating.

    GSPG - strong and liquid penny stock that has a chance to make a fast vertical move here, imo of course ;]
  • sniper6
    ooopps- shoulda refreshed, nice catch zoltran. I have been following WDG (formerly LEV) for a long time, they suck, if it ever gets above $2 short heavily, IMHO, this company will be bankrupt in another year.
  • PCola
    Was chatting with ToS rep to short UAUA when it was at like $6.20. Asked him to put it in at $8. As he was searching for the shares, it started running like crazy, and so i had him change it to $9 and it ran to $8.35 before I even had the order completed. Looks like I should have left it at $8 though, as I would have already cashed out $500. Oh well.
  • sniper6
    WDG
  • Zoltran
    Look at the gap on this sucker WDG!
  • PCola
    news on UAUA:

    http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/080722/aqtu093.html...

    Greatly improved liquidity. All the airline stocks are up big, but still, 60% bump seems like a lot, so I may short if it stays up.
  • 5holeSAVE
    HAA!!!
    Look at CPSL run!!! up .46 this am - I'm long 500 sh and don't want to blow my exit but it's gotta happen soon!!!
  • PCola
    Uh TimmyTom, I hope you coverdd your UAUA $5.98 short. Rapidly approaching $7 now.
  • getshorty
    I stayed up all night reading most of Technical Analysis using multiple timeframes, great thing it says, "If you are following a trend, the trend makes a lower low and you hold, you are not a trend trader anymore" (this was in the case of an uptrending stock)Same applies to downtrending stocks when they make higher lows (not that wsci was trending, but the not to hold if your reason is gone applies)
  • The Chad
    Anyone like LCC - US Air? I dislike Airline plays, but LCC is shaping up kinda nicely on the day.
  • getshorty
    Got out of it for a loss, closed position at 9.83 from shorting it at 9.66
  • Zoltran
    Check out AAI.
  • PCola
    None available at ToS
  • Ryan
    PCola, don't know exactly who pumping MKTY,but working great. No news anywhere!
    getshorty, ATD has shares to short, if you have account with them. Probably, TOS, IB and other brokers also have shares available. MKTY is off from its high now. Probably shorts activated!
  • bestdeception
    Shorty, you still waiting for WSCI to drop? Next to no volume today thus far.
  • getshorty
    Wow, MKTY looks like a big runner, looks like plenty of energy still. Trying to reserve shares for later, wish me luck.
  • PCola
    Ryan, where was MKTY pumped?
  • TommyTim
    Cancelling potential GM short on big drop in oil on fears easing about Dolly.

    New TommyTim alert.

    Short ZION 25. Regional banks going down. No support till 20.

    So I'll stop at that today. Can only have a max of 2 picks and with UAUA that makes 2 for the day.

    I will say CHK at 52.50 support is marvelous for longer term holds.
  • Ryan
    Tim,
    Keep an eye on MKTY. Probably good to reserve some shares. It was well pumped, probably dump will begin soon!
  • getshorty
    Whats with the ZYXI volume, no one playing anymore?
  • mgar
    Haha, that's why I called him out. He changes his "yesterday" picks every day. If he knew anything he would have understood that the options activity meant a swing in EITHER direction. Plus Apple always sets themself up for a blowout 4th quarter. What a moron.
  • haha dont trust anybody on these message boards unless they have a detailed blog, account at covestor, audited track record...good luck finding people like that and if u do, send em my way as i'll partner with them...
  • mgar
    Haha, MARC! It looks like we are on the same page. Hahahaha!
  • mgar
    TommyTim, it's funny how you don't mention your 5%+ gain on AAPL that you posted yesterday...What's going on there? http://www.timothysykes.com/timsykes/2008/07/21... Take a look at comments 14 & 18. Looks like you missed that one, my friend.
  • MARC
    Im sure glad I didnt take your advice on AAPL. It went the complet wrong direction and fast.
  • TommyTim
    TommyTim alert. Short UAUA at 5.98 No cover. Will average up if it goes higher than 6 resistance.
  • TommyTim
    Throw UVE in there on a cross of 4. Short GM on a break under 13. 2 new TommyTim picks for you. These are what I call guaranteed picks. Can't get hurt or have a heart attack playing them.

    Yesterdays TommyTim picks.
    FNM short at 14.82 todays price 12.20.
    SKF long 135(financial short etf)today 146.

    Wachovia reports a 9 billion loss. American Express also reported horrible earnings in AH Monday. Financial run was all an illusion.

    Treasurys fell early Tuesday, pushing yields up, after Federal Reserve official Charles Plosser said interest-rate hikes will be needed very soon.
  • yea, CHCG risky here, but I don't know, it could be in midst of it's big long term run...radaring 2.20 break
