You Think I’m Gonna Make Up Aliases? Prepare To Stand Corrected!
I know, I know, I’m behind on several planned blog posts, but when I see comments like the one below, I just can’t help but respond:
No offense to the “real” diehards here but you all do realize that all these people claiming to have purchased the DVD and books is just Tim pumping his wares right? No difference to me that this is happening as I think he has a good system but c’mon. Maybe I am just a cynic…it’s just so blatantly obvious.
I will say that I do like to come here and find some good names to keep on my watch list as many of these “real” companies that explode and can be shorted, are actually good longs that you can buy after the meteoric rise and fall. If it’s a good company, the stock will withstand the straight up and shorted down and rebound upwards i.e. HYGS, TGC and most probably JOEZ. Thanks for all the info, but no thanks on the DVD’s. LOL
After I saw that, I asked a few others if they thought I was making up people and testimonials to “sell my wares” and they said YES?!?!?!? Are you guys
Important Message To All The Newbie Traders Here
As I not only preached, but demonstrated in THIS post, those of us with small accounts should trade penny stocks with extreme caution. Due to the fact that Osama bin SEC’s terrorism means YOU must pick and choose your trades wisely…your psychology should be that of somebody who never wants to trade again (until the agony of not being in an ideal trade is too much), not somebody who can’t wait to trade again (overtrading causes losses).
More importantly, my website, TimothySykes.com is the ONLY place where you should feel free to ask questions and share your annoyingly newbie ideas and typical naivety. Other message boards like TheLion.com and Investorshub.com are for professional traders, while not admitting it publicly most of whom lose so they are rather grumpy and cranky. Some even bank a ton so they’re even crankier (mo money mo problems). Unlike me, they could care less about your education—it’s not their business to care and they have bills to pay and bottles to drain—so they don’t want to be bothered with your crap.
Covestor Is Now Open To Everyone: Sign-Up Or Die! (Credibility-wise)
I’m a huge fan of Covestor because they tap into users’ brokerage accounts to verify all their trades and investments, thus giving credibility to those who deserve it, people like me (follow me!)
As TechCrunch wrote, until yesterday, you had to go through some crazy process to sign up and track people, but now they’ve come out of beta so it’s easy and open for everyone!
TIMaffiliates: Profit From PennyStocking Without Risking A Dime!
Besides unveiling TIMalerts, a recent press release also announced the official unveiling of my affiliate program, TIMafilliates!
Basically affiliates will earn 25% on everything, meaning $75 cuts on the $297 PennyStocking DVD Packages and $297 TIMalerts annual subscriptions and well, that’s it for right now. Yah there’s also some money to be made off TIMalerts monthly subscriptions, but it ain’t much considering its only $29.95/month…you do the math
Why Portfolio Crushes Gawker Like Donald Trump Over Bill Murray
Leave it to Gawker party photographers to take pics of you at the exact moment you’re making a weird face…see me and Dealbreaker’s John Carney schmoozing and boozing last week:
See previous good-at-making-me-look-bad Gawker articles HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE
Still, this pic of the Donald in Portfolio the other day is like Gawker x 1,000:
StockTwits.com Means You Gotta Sign Up For Twitter, You Just Gotta
If you guys haven’t signed up for Twitter yet, you need to. It’s like sending text messages, updates, pictures and links to anybody who’s interested in what you have to say…think of it as an abbreviated blog and you can tweet from pretty much wherever. At first, I made fun of it—I thought it was only for people who wanted to waste time telling everyone what they were doing, good for kids and geeks—but now I really get it so I update often…think real-time blog posts and stock trades (you can follow my updates HERE)
Why Geek Commentary Should Never Be Featured On Any Finance Website
You gotta laugh at/love absolutely pointless opinionated articles like THIS from the geek blog AllThingsD, which, in this case, stands for “All Things Drossy”.
Not pointless to all the newbie investors and technology geeks who think this crap actually matters to these companies’ stock prices—for they have little understanding of the brokerage/ANALyst whore-athon that gets pimped out to fund managers just trying to pad their performance figures to collect their annual six and seven-figure salaries without really caring about beating the indexes cuz they know that since their peers are just as scummy as them, they really only have to avoid blowing up cuz mediocrity is not only fine, it’s encouraged in this joke of an industry, trend lag times and investors expectations—just pointless to everyone who understands how difficult assessing these companies without technical analysis really is.
PennyStocking Success Means New Website Features: Quotes & Chat
Congratulations to PennyStocking!
It started out late last year with me starting this blog, rambling on about how penny stocks were more predictable than regular stocks and that if I could turn thousands into millions in just a few years, everyone else can too–particularly because I’m not even that great at it! Since this was a rather remarkable concept, I pledged to repeat my feat, to prove to everybody what kinds of profits were possible. Some people believed me, but most didn’t understand what the hell I was talking about, choosing to write me off as just another snake-oil salesman.
Now, just six months later, when there are daily posts from PennyStocking students like Webster making $900 per day and JeffMoates making $10,000 over the past month, I’m filled with pride. People are starting to realize this ain’t no BS marketing scheme and I ain’t no snakeoil salesman, this is real and I’m your crazy yet experienced guide.
Barrons Is The Latest Old Media Company To Be Proven Obsolete
Remember about a month ago when I wrote those 2 posts (HERE and HERE) about the sketchy pig farmers over at Agfeed Industries (FEED)?
Their two financing deals, after a flurry of too-good-to-be-wholly-accurate press releases, set off my probable pump alert and even though I wasn’t playing the stock, I felt the need to warn investors about how the smallcap capital raising game works—basically you spend thousands on PR, giveaway a few percentage points to encourage scummy peddlers (better knowns as brokerage firms) do financings, schedule a bunch of PRs to paint the rosiest picture possible and then raise capital for your crappy biz at inflated prices, preying on investors’ greed as your stock is manipulated to surge higher, making these investors believe they are getting in on the ground floor of some amazing story.
Does Search Engine Optmization Work? Help Me Fight The Good Fight!
After viewing my PennyStocking DVD, an experienced internet marketer recently told me that he liked and profited from my strategy so much that he wanted to help me get the good word out there. Sure, I said. He then instructed me to write a blog post telling my readers to insert the following two pieces of code into their sites and whenever they post messages in forums.
Normally, I’d never ask such a thing from you guys but considering that I’m just a tiny guy going up against a decades old system that’s made too many sketchy characters exceedingly wealthy and amateurs poorer, I need all the help I can get. Here’s what you gotta post around the web…let’s see if this thing actually works:

The Beginnings Of The Best Damn Stock Market Glossary…Ever
No matter how much I try to simplify penny stock trading and relate it to the real world, many of you still don’t even understand the basic terminology. So, for you guys, I’ve created TIMterms, a glossary of commonly used concepts and terms. Be warned, unlike the rest of the stuffy narrow-minded finance world, it ain’t boring and you’re damn right it’s opinionated. After all, it’s far better to have the opinion of somebody with a proven track record than the financial journalist wannabes over at Investopedia who often get their facts wrong!
Here are the first 15 TIMterms, eventually there’ll be hundreds, maybe even thousands of them, all inter-connected with plenty of examples Wikipedia-style, and links to alternate definitions and examples (anybody with a blog or website, def. comment on this post as I’ll link to anything worthy) but gimme some time, I’m not rich enough to clone myself to get all my projects done right away…yet. If I’ve done this correctly, you just need to click on the orange folder above each term to be taken to its definition:
1. ANALysts
2. Buying To Cover
3. Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
4. EBITDA
5. EPS
6. Max Pain
Please Excuse The Mess Over the Next Few Days, Upgrading The Site To Version 4 Baby!
As you probly know, ever since the debut of this Super Shredder-like website its been full of bugs, at times slow and sometimes just down completely. Well, I got tired of this kind of sh#@! pretty quickly so for the past few weeks, Pallian and I have been workin’ on a new site—that’s right, Version 4—this is the one that’s gonna last longer than the first one (4 months), version 2 (2 months) and version 3 (2 weeks).
Obviously the trend is going in the wrong direction, but it don’t matter cuz we’re tired of building new sites all the time so this is it! And we’re getting a new host too cuz our traffic is just breakin’ out (only halfway through this month and we’re already waaay past February’s #s) (yeah advertisers, get on it!) as if our name was Kentucky Pyramid Oil Co (PDO)
As soe of you might have noticed, you can get a small taste of the new design HERE. What’s infinitely more important is that our new host, those bad asses over at Mosso.com, tell me that anybody who signs up with them using the referral code “REF-TIMSYKES”, will get $50 off their first month’s bill.
I can’t speak to how good they are until we see ‘em in action next week, but I’ve heard only great things and if they try to f#%$ me over, I’ll just blog about it and then they’ll be sorry! Jew Yah!
Two Interviews: One Video, One Written, Both Edu-tainment To The Max!
While we’re waiting for the next CNEX-like worthy trading opportunity to emerge, check out these two interviews of mine that just came out today.
First StockTickr asks me some really great questions and allows me to set the record straight on a lot of the BS that’s out there. Thanks Dave! PS The guy’s also got a pretty cool product for keeping track of your trading journals…
A few dozen of you participated in the live interview I did on ChuckTV the other day, HERE is the edited version. Clocking in at just over 1 hour, we talk about everything from trading pump and dumps, Saturday Night Live castmembers and drug use on Wall Street to web 2.0, online video and the future of the internet…really interesting convo—thanks again Chuck!
The Pump And Dump Blues: Nothing Compares 2 U, In Loving Memory Of Cannon Exploration Inc (CNEX)
I’m sorry to have to announce the passing of Cannon Exploration Inc. (CNEX), a beautiful and vivacious pump and dump, who at the height of her popularity, was taken from us prematurely, like so many of our brave soldiers around the world
Beautiful CNEX, I know that living with you was sometimes hard, but I composed this wholly original song and even made a music video (even though the singer got the words wrong) in your honor.
It’s been seven hours and five dollars
Since you took your pump away
I research every hour and wait all day
Since you took your pump away
Since you been gone I can write about whatever I want
I can trade any stock I choose
I can look for stocks that are breaking out
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these pump and dump blues
`Cause no pump compares
No pump compares to you
My First Yahoo! Finance / TradingMarkets.com Article: How To Short Sell Pumped Up Penny Stocks
Check it out right HERE. You’ll discover that when you write a brutally honest piece like that—without pay or motives considering I’m not short any of the stocks mentioned nor do I know anybody who’s short—you’re not gonna make too many friends in this joke of an industry. Especially down here in the gutter of the stock market.
Big whoop, I have too many friends already—it’s more fun to write for honesty’s sake, helping the unfortunate suckers who aren’t as experienced as me. That’s my business model and it’s gonna piss off a lot of the people who earn their livings by preying on those amateurs. Deal with it. If I do my job right, penny stocks and microcaps will become infinitely more popular because people will understand how to play the game.
Think of it as cleaning up SoHo so we can build all these nice shops and attract tourists in our neighborhood for once. I’m not trying to get rid of the manipulation—that’ll never happen—just trying to explain it so people can profit from it.
