If you really want to know, you can go back and analyze all his trade records, and see if there was any difference before and after he started the timalert service. Tim mentioned in livestock that only about 100 out of 800 of his subscribers actually read the email alerts he sends out. Also, not all the shares are easily available. Sometimes TOS doesn't have, sometimes IB doesn't have, and some subscribers just use other brokers that don't support shorting easily. So subscribers are not always able to tank the stock further.

Also, many stocks continue to tank after he and some of his subscribers have covered. Some subscribers held and banked even more. Of course, there is a flip side. If you don't anticipate his trades or are not nimble enough, you might get squeezed when he covers. Of course, sometimes the stock might continue higher and he would tell you that you should have cut your loss, which is true, and a lesson you have to earn the hard way.

Although I just sold my shares in TKTM and IACI. Both have been dogs, and your right, Diller provided the WORST returns for shareholders and should be fired. Although Interactive Corp shot up from 7 or so to 31 I believe, I got it on a naked put. Not much in it but happy I just cashed in my shares. Sitting on Visa right now and just at or around my cost basis of where I bought it a year ago. Tim, your spot on this. Although I just sold my shares in TKTM and IACI.

Is there a way to even remotely quantify it? It seems like what's happening is kind of like front running, but not in any way in an illegal sense but it definitely mirrors it if the group who follows TimAlerts is large enough to move the stock price. I assume it is due to the liquidity and size of some stocks you are shorting. Just interested in your comment on my observation, thanks Hey Tim,
