The Latest TIMalert: How I Predicted & Profited From A 22% Surge In AgFeed Industries, Inc. (FEED)
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 6th of Oct, 2008 05:03:40 PMToday I rocked in terms of predictions—in my morning watch delivered to TIMalert subscribers around 2am EST, I said ZYXI would have their typical early month fluffy “increased orders” PR, FEED would also have some hype-ish PR and I might buy FEED into the panic/probable…see the TIMalerts blurbs below to see how everything played out:

The Latest TIMalerts Winner, Subscriber Gains Are $50,000+, Today Is A Great Day!
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Thu 25th of Sep, 2008 03:22:45 PMCrazy day of trading, mainly cuz the main stocks I was watching SIL and QCOR, both hit the key points I was looking for so I took the appropriate action, shorting 2000 SIL at $2.98 when it took out support at $3 right near the market open (was gonna beat the crowd at $3.05, give TIMalert subscribers a head start, but Safari sucks and shuts down randomly, grrrrr)—as I alerted TIMalert members, I was trying to profit from a fully predictable morning panic (stop losses are a bitch when a stock is up 400% in a few days), after preparing them in the premarket watchlist I also sent them—and buying 1,000 shares of QCOR at $6.98 after it showed me it could convincingly breakout above $6.85ish area—the area at which I’ve been posting for several days was the true beakout point…

My Trades On Morgan Stanley (MS), Valence Technology, Inc. (VLNC) & Mechanical Technology Inc. (MKTY)
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 22nd of Sep, 2008 06:39:02 PMNow obviously my trade on MS wasn’t an example of PennyStocking, but when you have a Japanese camera crew from their major network–6 million viewers–filming you, you wanna do a trade. See some pics HERE. Since I literally only have one account–my little TIM portfolio–it wasn’t a tough choice for me to buy 400 shares last Thursday when it broke the day high in the $21.60 area…

The Latest Successful TIMalert: Converted Organics Inc. (COIN) For A Not-So-Easy 15% Gain
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 8th of Sep, 2008 01:38:07 PMWaaaay behind on putting all the new sites/educational posts up for next week…oh yeah new chatroom for TIMalerts subscribers-only website TIMalerts.com website too (not the cool web app me and Pallian are working on, that takes time, this is just gonna be a basic chatroom where I can chat with my TIMalert peeps in real-time throughout the trading day…yeahhh now you gotta join, suck it up you already cheap Jews!) so here’s the basic summary for a ton of COIN alerts from last week:

The Latest 20%+ TIMalert Winner, But As Usual I Wasn’t Greedy Enough, Must Go To Synagogue To Be Better Jew
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Tue 2nd of Sep, 2008 06:35:06 PMFrom the TIMalert right near the market open, TAYD dropped 21%, here’s the story of how it was entirely predictable and lots of TIMalert subscribers banked:
In THIS morning’s watchlist, when I said about Taylor Devices, Inc. (TAYD) “this thing is gonna tank, it’s my #1 potential short”
I knew I had to reserve shares early…7:40am. Done.
After I shorted 1,000 shares right near the market open at $8.13ish, I sent out this alert to TIMalert subscribers:
one of the simplest plays in a while, earthquake absorption equipment maker always goes up on natural disasters–people get excited about possible deals–hurricane gustav wasnt that bad, sadly–this thing should go back down…read my book An American Hedge Fund–and see I once made over $200,000 shorting this same stock after the Asian tsunami, not much has changed since then except i’m more conservative…goal is to cover under 7.50 in the next 1-2 days, not a huge profit cuz it wasn’t up enough
Unfortunately, since it was a morning dump, it tanked rather quickly to my target area of $7.50 and very few subscribers actually got in—luckily there a little bounce to the $7.70-$7.80 area, but that’s it.
Considering the stock was only up from the low $6s—and yes, even though it’s an earthquake, not hurricane play, its got a proven track record of spiking during natural disasters—as I detail in my book An American Hedge Fund. So, I took my profit and sent out this alert to TIMalert subscribers:

It’s Good To Help People: My Scholarship & GreenOnTheScreen’s Donation
Posted by timothysykes on Mon 18th of Aug, 2008 01:55:04 PMReally makes me good/proud to see those of us who are profiting nicely through PennyStocking willing to give back to others…
First, as those of you who’ve read my book An American Hedge Fund know, I started my Tulane scholarship “The Timothy Sykes Award For Student Who Learn Good” (that’s the name I wanted, but was prohibited from using) waaay back in 2002, really just cuz I’d made too much $ too quickly and wanted to commemorate my feat by giving a bit of cash each year to inspire others…
I’m waaay behind on my posts, but this May my award went to Maureen King–not a student as my award is open to all in the Tulane community, professors, alumni, etc.–who built a house from scratch and is living off the land…literally. Check out the whole article “How Does Her Garden Grow” by clicking HERE.
The year before the winner was Susan Zaluski, an incredibly talented girl who builds big ass boats from scratch and teach others to do it too. See her article HERE.
And now, the latest PennyStockers to give something back are the bad ass folks at

The Latest Monster TIMalert Victory: Action Products International, Inc. (APII) Down 45% Since Alert To Short
Posted by timothysykes on Fri 15th of Aug, 2008 10:30:46 AMAs I detailed in THIS post my reasoning for shorting APII, the odds caught up with them–them being an incompetent poorly run company, as evidenced by too many “earnings statements” & that nasty long-term stock chart–as they reported their latest shitty/bankruptcy-esque earnings.
Stock up 700% in 1 month + shitty earnings = inevitable bigtime tank
I knew entering my short ahead of earnings was risky, as I wrote in this TIMalert sent to subscribers when the stock was at $3.30:
yes the volume has faded, yes its finally red on the day, yes, it just took out the day low, but this is dangerous with earnings coming out tomorrow. i prefer to live dangerously. but that’s just me. no idea how long i’ll hold, could be 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, i am aiming for a crack ofyesterday’s lows as that would make me feel very comfortable holding overnight, but we’ll see…the key is to judge these plays by price action, enter when you’re comfortable, exit when you’re not, always try to minimize losses.
…but that risk paid off

…which is the definition of a good trade: understanding one’s risk…Personally, I didn’t think it would collapse so quickly–most don’t, but my last 2 TIMalert shorts on USS and MKTY (see how they fared HERE) prove the current market environment loves punishing these turds–so when I covered into the morning panic at $2.66 for a $1,200 gain (5 minutes later stock was at $2.20ish…right now it’s sitting at $1.80…blehhhhh $1,500 profits left on the table) but I just wanted to get over $25k) pushing my tiny TIM account over the key–at least according to Osama bin SEC (see explanation HERE)–$25,000 threshold to $25,716, up 9% on the month, 107% since I started this quest back in November 2007. Which I do have to mention crushes ANY return of ANY newsletter writer/gruru/expert–percent-wise–especially considering all my trades are verified by Covestor, all trades are detailed HERE and I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way aka haters got nothinnnnnnn!
PS Haters, learn to attack you’re opponent when he’s down, not when he’s just made his single greatest call to-date and has these ridiculously amazing TIMalert testimonials (see all the rest from previous alerts HERE) below to back him up and drown out the small losses–think average loss of $100–when he was too early with his short the first time around:

Fun Times With A Stock Up 700% In 1 Month: Action Products International, Inc. (APII)
Posted by timothysykes on Wed 13th of Aug, 2008 05:32:50 PMJust cuz my latest trade/TIMalert proves my mastery of this pathetic little stock market niche, I’m gonna do this blog post in reverse chronological order…half to mess with you and half to expand your brains. I’m short 2,000 shares of APII overnight form $3.30, so I’m loving life right now…enjoy!
8/13:
5PM News comes out about APII’s latest acquisition, see PR HERE, basically for 500k restricted shares or approximately $1.5 million…I dunno how to interpret this, all I can think about is how this news makes APII’s 700% runup reek even more of manipulation–since the deal is definitely being pushed forward fast (close by end of August?!?!?) to take advantage of these inflated prices…and considering the stock has been dead for years–and is probly related to this acquisition somehow aka some “unrelated” third party gets the price up in order to dole out less shares to this new company they’re acquiring…color me cynical, I’ve seen it happen too many times.
4:30PM: Chart is so

A Review Of My Latest TIMalert: Only 15% Overnight Gains, Sorry!
Posted by timothysykes on Sun 10th of Aug, 2008 06:06:21 PMSo the latest TIMalert was a buy, not a short. It was weird for me to pick a long that wasn’t a true breakout, but when as I detailed in THIS post, NOBL was a prime candidate for a next day gap up and early morning short squeeze, so it was an easy call and eventual 15% overnight gainer.
That makes me 19 for 19 in TIMalert picks since inception June 12…I’ll have a 2 month review Tuesday, but for my TIMalert track record click HERE.
Long story short NOBL was a surprise earnings winner that caught longterm shorts off guard and a big intraday drop off a big up day sucked in new shorts, paving the way for a mini-short squeeze and an eventual 15% gain (boo hoo under my average of 20% per alert gains) from the alert ($5 to $5.75, I sold my 1,500 shares at $5.49 for a, 10% gain, not bad timing as usual, or $700ish profit), putting me up 95% now in the last 9 months!
No need to show off my TIMalert or the chart, you cheap bastards have gotten enough free previews, even if you’ve only gotten to see them waaaay late…for now, just enjoy the testimonials from TIMalert subscribers who banked on this latest alert. (mind you many more email me, but they don’t want to go on the record for various reasons…so only 13 testimonials this time…booo hoooo all these other BS newsletters have 3-5 testimonials TOTAL, not per alert, and they don’t talk $ gains, nor are they ranked on Covestor (where I’m still somehow #1 by a mile…you guys are pathetic, I’m not even a good trader…see rankings HERE)…probly cuz they’re all chicken shit!)
Here they are:

Why I Bought Turnaround Play Noble International, Ltd. (NOBL) at $5
Posted by timothysykes on Thu 7th of Aug, 2008 07:14:00 PMWell, actually it was 1,500 shares at $5.01 and $5.02, solid close at $5.40, so I’m already up like $600…kinda funny that on the day I post (right HERE) that I will not be forced into unworthy trades a worthy trade pops up.
I’ll explain why I bought NOBL by the alert I sent TIMalert subscribers, many of whom bought in at $5.30, $5.05, $5.06, $5.10, $5.20s…:
yes, its up a lot, think 50%+ on the day, and its got a lot of bitter longterm shareholders, but against all odds–and incompetent ANALyst advice–they reported solid earnings…already $1 off its intraday high today due to it going up too quickly and the overall market being crappy, this is a massive company just tied down by massive debt…any time a debt play starts to look like it could turn around, shorts get scared–already shorts have been reduced from 1.1mil to 300k in the last month, probly now down to 100k after today…earnings turnaround plays can and often do have multi-day runs, so i’m looking for a retest of today’s highs in the low $6s…ideally with some morning spiking like it had today
As to how I found it–guys, it was the only

Suck On This John Chow, My Blog Made $45,000 Last Month!
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 6th of Aug, 2008 04:31:03 PMAwwww yeah, that’s right, not only am I gonna report my trading gains/losses (see July 2008 review HERE), now I’m also gonna detail my blog’s earnings each month.
Cuz as much as I like cutting through all the BS in finance/trading/penny stocks, there’s even more BS in “make money online” racket–I know cuz after running this blog for 9 months, I’ve seen lots of crazy shit, most of which hasn’t made me a dime.
Inspired by John Chow’s monthly blog income reports (see his $40,000 June HERE), below are the numbers for my blog last month–proving that my biz model is superior to most, especially considering Chow only made $40k even though he’s got 27x more RSS readers (help me out and signup for mine HERE!) and and about 3x as many visitors….if this post is popular enough, I’ll begin an entire new blog devoted to how to make money form blogging, maybe with a project to be titled “Transparent Blog Income” (TBI) or something to that effect…
These are the July results of a hardworking internet entrepreneur, think 16-20 hours days, including weekends…it’s all about how bad you want it, f$%^ the 4-hour work week you fat lazy American slobs, working hard, and honestly, is the path to righteousness and fulfillment:

July Review: Up 16% For The Month, Now 89% Since TIM Inception 9 Months Ago
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 4th of Aug, 2008 04:05:54 PMJuly was a damn good month in which I finished up 15.9%, or just under $3,500, to $23,485, just a bit under the critical $25,000 asset barrier. What’s more, website traffic (especially thanks to the new subscribers-only TIMalerts.com website), PennyStocking DVD sales, testimonials and most importantly, reader learning and earning all surged waaaay more than my pesky little 16%.
Comparisons to the major indexes–why bother? You all know these major indexes are getting crushed, that PennyStocking, even with my flawed timing, is crushing every single index/strategy known to man (seriously it’s fair to call this industry pathetic if I’m really gonna stay #1 on Covestor)(see rankings HERE) and that my already-healthy ego is larger for it. No point in detailing all that…at least not without devoting an entire post later this week!
See a table of my July trades, chart of website traffic and all my favorite posts from the month that was:

USS Now 47% Below Yesterday’s TIMalert To Short Sell That Bitch
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 30th of Jul, 2008 07:09:59 PMWhen I’m right, I brag. When I’m wrong, I brag even more (considering I detail my mistakes like no other in this joke of an industry–yeah suck on that scumbag snakeoil pieces of sh$%!). So when I’m dead on–as my alerts on USS have been (it’s even dropped further faster than I ever imagined)–you better believe I’m gonna write not just one blog post–read yesterday’s post HERE about how much I and others made shorting the turd of a company USS–there’s gonna be 2 posts…
And tonight’s post about it is even more impressive, not because I made a lot of $–as TIMalert subscribers know I quickly bought and sold 1500 shares of it this morning during its freefall, scalping an easy/risky $200 (buy at $2.54, sell at $2.69 within 3 minutes…too quick for a trade alert…it happens sometimes)–but because of the bigtime testimonials from TIMalert subscribers below showing they’ve made several thousand dollars from my $30/month TIMalerts subscription service and the fact that in my original alert I said if news comes out, chances are it’ll be negative cuz that’s what the odds are for companies with horrendous charts like this one.
The news is unimportant, the pattern is perfect, the testimonials below are priceless

My 2nd Consecutive TIMalert To Make 30% In 1 Day: Short Selling U.S. Shipping Partners L.P. (USS)
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Tue 29th of Jul, 2008 04:01:40 PMMy latest TIMalert to short 1,500 shares of USS at $4.61 today, comes just one week after a similarly perfect 30% call on MKTY and is a perfect example of the themes I’ve been blogging about for several months:
-these piece of crap companies can spike based on pathetic speculation and collapse just as quickly due to all the bitter longterm shareholders being scared/abused for so long
-gotta reserve shares to short early–TIMalert subscribers get my daily watchlist, filled with all my potential shorts, at 8am by email and on the subscribers-only website (click HERE to see my perfect TIMalerts track record) so it’s no surprise your poor/cheap folk reading this free website couldn’t find shares…welcome to my biz model bitches!
-the reversals are extremely predictable–as I’ve telegraphed a potential short the past 2 days in my premarket watchlists and as you see in this TIMalert that I sent out, I pretty much nailed the price action an hour before it happened–this was sent out at 1:20PM EST to TIMalert subscribers:
Shorted 1500 USS at $4.61…as i wrote in my premarket watchlists the past 2 days, USS was on my watchlist for a potential short, given the stock has a solid longterm downtrend, recent sideways action and fading volume, i think bitter shareholders take this spike to reduce their positions and i know lots of other short sellers are watching this for a quick breakdown too…key breakodwn level today appears to be the 4.60 area as its held several times and considering its still solidly up on the day, i’m taking a chance here, especially since this company benefits from lower oil prices…but i’m willing to add on the way up if need be as this is only a 2/3rd position…not sure if its real but somebody posted on the message boards, the NYSe asked the company for info and they said no comment so there is risk of news coming out too….given this company’s failings, chances are news is negative…so thats the good and bad, lets see how this pattern plays out, risk is it surges past previous high of $5, but if it takes out $4, it’s got no support until the low $3s…i basically just wanna cover in the low $4s in the next 1-2 days
-the key is waiting for fading action after sideways action–stock held $4.60 all morning, perfect afternoon fade/collapse after it broke
-I suck at trading–I covered this at $4.05 for a solid, if not spectacular, 12% gain inside of an hour, now it’s at $3.25, which coulda woulda shoulda been a 30% gain–the latest reason why my 87% return in the past 9 months now on TIM truly is worst case scenario
-Screw 90% of traders losing money, these patterns are so easy, even the dumbest people in the world can make money (yours truly!). Learn the friggin patterns yourself in my PennyStocking DVD package
-You want testimonials, You want testimonials? You can’t handle all my testimonials! Every day/week brings in dozens of new ones, I’m now 18 for 18 on my TIMalerts, average gain of 20% inside of 1-2 days, how you like these apples you ignorant haters…and yes, this is all from TIMalerts, a $30/month service where more and more people keep signing up for the annual subscription (save 20% off the monthly, buy it HERE) cuz they’re making it many times over in 1 trade!

Behold The Latest Perfect TIMalerts Short: Mechanical Technology Inc. (MKTY), Down 30% Since My Alert
Posted by timothysykes on Wed 23rd of Jul, 2008 02:48:57 PMAnother day, another huge TIMalert victory—this time it was calling, profiting, blogging, predicting, you name it, MKTY is down 31% off its high on the day…$5.50 to $3.78…so far. I profited, TIMalert subscribers profited, and just about everyone else couldn’t find any shares to short—welcome to the TIMalert biz model. Good things come in low float packages and everyone wants to reserve shares to short…TIMalert subscribers get the email/post on the subscribers-only website at 8am, everyone else gets the info later, usually after all the shares have been reserved.
Here’s the story of a pump named MKTY as told by my alerts—this isn’t magic, it’s just how pump and dumps act…it’s about time people gave them the respect they deserve cuz they’re just so damn predictable!
Posted on TIMalert subscribers-only-website at 8am today:
MKTY is my #1 potential short today (already reserved 1,500 shares to short or the day), especially on any spike, I was early shorting yesterday, but played it safe and even managed to escape with a small gain…TIMalert subscribers know all about it as the subscriber-only website had over 100 comments yesterday (new record!)…also discussed in my blog post last night…this is a pure pump, but it’s only a $25 million company so it can go further than you think possible…yesterday was 2nd big up day, if this pattern holds true, the 3rd day is tough for it to finish up big, let alone up at all…of course the pattern h as mutations so maybe we’ll get a true Supernova here…at the very least, I’m hoping it can squeeze some early shorts past the the key $5 resistance

4 TIMalerts, 4 Base Hits, If Not Home Runs aka Safe Small Profits Pay the Bills
Posted by timothysykes on Tue 22nd of Jul, 2008 04:15:50 PMSometimes there are just tooo many trades, too many blog posts, for me to keep up with in real-time…so here are my last 4 trades, all of which were safe and successful, as told through the unedited TIMalerts along with some testimonials from happy TIMalert subscribers
PS I’m now up 10% on the month, 80% since November 2007 and if any of you lil bitches don’t believe me, you can see ALL my detailed trades HERE all verified by Covestor, which taps into my brokerage account—so you can follow me on there too (click HERE)
July 11th bought 3,000 IdeaEdge, Inc. (IDAE) at an average of $2.27ish
this is a perfect breakout, chart is strong, social networking gift cards for launch this fall, whatever the hell that means, myspace parent company founder joined board..i’ve been telling promoters who call me to create a social networking pump, maybe this is it…unfortunately somewhat illiquid
July 12th still holding 3,000 shares of IDAE long, see my detailed research here
Hope everyone’s having a good weekend, I’m still holding 3,000 shares of IDAE and judging by the strong close on Friday, I’m expecting big things–think $2.50-$3, maybe even $4 (outside shot) on Monday, Tuesday and maybe even Wednesday next week (these things like to run 3-4 days when they breakout so perfectly–last time it ran from $1.40 to $2.15 in 3 days)…obviously, you still need to be careful since its a sketchy OTCBB stock, but see my full post on it HERE
July 14th: Sold all IDAE at 2.49, 10% profit
i patiently patiently patiently waited 15 minutes (seriously felt like an eternity for me), really didnt want to flip it so fast, but a.) gap ups make me uncomfortable (reversals happen), b.) there are a lot of sellers and c.) i know many of u have similar levels of impatience so i cant risk it tanking…actually one of my larger gains at 10% in 1 day, or $630 after commissions…good pick, probable continuation, but i’m just steadily working my way to $25k so i cant hold stocks longterm….now at $21,560….up 6% on the month, 74% since november 2007…if and when u guys sell, please post your dollar gains on my site so i can highlight them!
End Result: Stock kept going up to $2.80 over the next 2 days…a 22% gain from my alert….some TIMalert testimonials:
Thanks TIM for the quick $600 on IDAE!
-Kevin
Tim, you are the best
i bought idae in the worst time yesterday…sold in a bad timing today
still made $540 from 6,000 shares
been in peter leeds.com, been in portfolio crafter, made a little money from their picks
but not close to what i make from tim alerts!
thank you
-Gil
$210 gain on IDAE long in my IRA account
-Barrett
Thanks to Tim & TIMAlerts, I made $500+ on IDAE this week alone not to mention some smaller gains on other TIMAlerts.
-Brickhouse
Tim . . got out of IDAE. . . made $247 profit. .. thanks for the pick!
-Deuce
I made about $220 on IDAE after fees and commissions… I’ll take it any day.
-Oracle of NYC
I just sold my 5K shares at 2.44 and 2.45…Tim, for your records I pulled in $777 before commission
-PCola
Without TimAlerts, I made

Another PennyStocking Success Story: Davey, A 21-Year-Old College Student
Posted by timothysykes on Mon 21st of Jul, 2008 12:07:58 PMAdding to the success of PennyStocking practitioners, grad student Tony Ellis (up $85,000+ now in 8 months) and Mike the Machinist (up over $410,000 now) comes the story of Davey, a 21 year-old student whose made $6,000+ within a few months using the strategies detailed in my PennyStocking DVD Package.
Granted $6,000 in profits over a few months is not as remarkable as those other guys, but who out there wouldn’t want an extra few thousand dollars? Especially those of you still in college. Especially those of you with small trading accounts…and remember, my DVD is only $300 so it’s paid for by one good trade!
Alright, enough of me blabbing, here’s Davey:

TIM 2nd Quarter Review: I Suck But Most Everyone Else In This Joke Of An Industry Sucks Worse
Posted by timothysykes on Tue 8th of Jul, 2008 02:16:52 PMAfter only a decent April (see monthly review HERE) and a heartbreaking (wasted opportunities galore) May (see monthly review HERE), my 14% June return (see monthly overview HERE) basically made my 16.6% quarter, my trading account surging from just over $17k to just over $20k, allowing me to continue to rip on this joke of an industry since even with all my mistakes I’m still doing better than 99% of the people out there, most of whom perform slightly worse than the major indexes (90% of traders lose $, 70% of fund managers fail to beat the S&P 500 cuz they’re schmucks!):
Below are all my trades and best/most important posts from the quarter that was:
