TimothySykes.com Just The Latest POS Hype Play, aka Why PennyStocking Works

Posted by timothysykes on Fri 14th of Mar, 2008 02:50:06 PM

Publicly and privately, I’ve been getting asked by lots of people why I devoted so much blog/time to featuring Spitzer’s call girl when I’m really supposed to be teaching stock trading…more specifically, PennyStocking. The end result being a deluge of emails, visitors, etc. all of which have sapped my time to blog/research/trade. (Good thing there haven’t been ANY worthy PennyStocking opportunities).

So, the other night I saw There Will Be Blood for a second time (it’s even better that way—I swear a review is coming) with a girl that stuck out from the crowd; we’ll call her The Coolest Girl in New York, or (TCGNY). Being a pseudo-celebrity, single and a pretty sociable guy, I meet a ton of girls, but like the stocks I trade, most are complete crap. Like (Nasdaq: AKNS), the perfect ones are few and far between. TCGNY is one of them. She is beautiful, smart, and funny and she knows her movies, an extremely rare combination to be sure, but it’s that special feeling I got hanging out with her that makes her different from the others.
