Another Day, Another Big TIMalerts Winner

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Tue 2nd of Dec, 2008 02:58:14 PM

To be fair, this one kinda sucked. even though I made $600+ on it, the stock didn’t breakdown like I’d hoped–probly cuz I missed my ideal entry of a morning fade as I fully admit, rubbed in by several people who have my PennyStocking DVD and one who I just did a one-on-one coaching session with (Douglas)…

Here are the alerts/testimonials/chart:

Yesterday early afternoon:

Shorted 4000 SAH at $2.75…normally i don’t liek shorting stocks down 14% ont he day already because there’s the potential for a bounce, but it is off its lows of being down 25%, this probly is the bounce…first down day in the pattern, up from $1.50…me thinks it retests minor support at $2.30…question is will it break it, I don’t know, that’ll still be a good profit for me if it drops that much…very liquid so since i already missed the first big drop at $3–working on shipping the new ShortStocking DVDs–i’ll be quick to take my losses if this thing starts spiking…after all, it’s in the overall market’s hands right now…which is fine by me considering this kind of quick drop leads me to believe we’ll retests the lows tomorrow since we’ve sucked in a lot of scared/fickle dip buyers.

2 hours later:

covered 4000 SAH at $2.58 not because I don’t think it’s going lower (although it is already down big today and tomorrow is a new day), I’d say the odds are fairly good, but because I just found out I’m gonna be on national TV tomorrow morning and I can’t be trying to trade with all that going on…this stock is acting nicely, holding near its lows, but a trader has to realize when real life gets in the way and just take profits/losses quickly…my $660 profit in 2 hours is nice but disappointing…life could be worse…I’ve got a conference call later this afternoon with producers for all the details, and I’ll let you know in tomorrow morn’s wstchlist, which might have to come out very very very early…we’ll see

So the national TV thing is gonna be next week, but since the stock is strong today–not painful for any intelligent subscriber, just gotta cover ASAP if it doesn’t show morning panic (just as I preach in my DVDs, I mention them again and again because soooooo many subscribers are trying to play the game without learning the rules first!)–I’m glad it helped get me out of this trade…also helping was how well it was holding up in the $2.50s–I really wanted a close under $2.50.

Not an ideal setup, not an ideal trade. Good lesson learned.

But you must understand that it was a perfect drop from $3 in the morning and many TIMalert subscribers banked not because I sent out an alert but because they anticipated!! Imagine that, subscribers who actually learn/get smart…woooooah, that’s a dangerously revolutionary concept:

Tim,
Biggest winner was yesterday, Sold SAH early @ 3.19 on its second leg up, covered @ 2.50. booooooooooooooooooooya.
Douglas

    Hey Tim, I've been following you for a few months now and I've concluded that you're borderline awesome. You're blogs as well as your DVD (only have PennyStocking so far) has been really beneficial to me as a newbie trader. Keep it up man!
  • thanks eric!

    Hey Tim,
    Haven't commented on your blog in a while. But saving up to buy your DVDs. I really believe in you and I like how you back your talk up by showing your actual trades.

    OTCBB and Pink sheets are a whole different species from NASDAQ. Most if not all of the POS companies under 5 companies scams but bulletin board stocks get manipulated worse. I remember when I read Tim's post about a break out and I said to myself its time to short this turd, not buy. It's sort of funny but I know a few OTCBB market makers on low prices stocks (under $1) and a lot of there profits come from exactly the same strategy as Tim. They wait for all the moron penny stock investors to read the bogus news about XZY company getting some contract or some form of a deal and pump the stocks and then when the stocks go parabolic they short the shit out of them and watch. This is there whole strategy. On the true penny and sub penny scam stocks in the cent range its not possible to short so they can game the market since have a monopoly more or less.

    investorslive, I am not trying to "take down timmy a notch". Sorry if I gave the impression that I am.
  • moby
    Sorry, I am too dumb to find the promised post titled “the first TIMalerts disaster: how i must do a better job picking stocks and teaching people the risks of penny stocks”. Please provide the link, thank you.

    I only found this when I searched your blog.

    You did apologize discretely in the comments, and also mentioned you will write up something to "admit" your mistakes.

    I apologize if it is all a matter of improving your search feature so that I can find the post easier. Don't get too worked up, it is all for entertainment, isn't it!
  • admit*
  • moby i gotta admin that was a very poor attempt to take timmy down a notch, maybe you can come up with something better next time
  • u guys gotta learn to not be so scared of a loser every now and then, its al about controlling losses
  • wrong moby, already did a post about it, suck on that u prick
  • moby
    What happened to IDAE? Still too busy bragging about your winning streak and no time to reflect on your losses?
  • Robert
    TIM! Hey I have an idea for your blog income post! You should include october and november blog revenue in one post but seperate the earnings, I have been waiting to see how much you've made the last two months! Do it for me man. Hope to here from ya.

    Looks like that BAD ASS MOFO SANTA CLAUS is coming to town! BEARs are about to be trampled by a rabid bull, or a heard of Wal Mart shoppers after a half off flat panel TV.
