While researching a great pump & dump that I told TIMalert subscribers was a great potential short the other day, I came upon a research report published by Grass Roots R&D which claims to be the “#1 Small Cap Research Firm, Powerful Distrubtion”

Why Grass Roots Research & Distribution Is Just Plain Funny

Two Rodman & Renshaw Investment Conferences: Starring Bill Clinton & The Scummiest/Most Desperate/Cash Starved Companies In The World
November 12, 2008 at 4:04 pm by Timothy Sykes
For a large chunk of money–think a few hundred grand–Rodman & Renshaw have pulled it off (at least somewhat), they’ve managed to get a former president to preside over their shitty “investment conference” to make it appear as though the companies they represent were actually real/had a shot in hell at succeeding.

Trust No Financial Blogger, Message Board Poster, Website Or Service Provider

Lately I’ve been seeing a ton of talking heads, bloggers and message board posters touting their winners and playing down their losers. It seems as though just about everyone is an amazing traders/investor as their skill/ talent is downright amazing! I call BS. Very few people in this industry are talented at anything other than lying, manipulating, promoting and cheating. Everything you read—and I do mean everything—is guesswork. Nobody other than Buffett knows for certain that their strategies and theories are correct, but in this game, you gotta appear confident at all times. Every day you have people picking random stocks and making wild economic predictions, always careful to position themselves as experts so as to ensure demand for their … Continue reading
LongorShort Capital Earns Nickname: Pretentious Prick Capital, aka Matt Damon In School Ties
April 7, 2008 at 3:26 pm by Timothy Sykes
I try to give the LongorShort Capital (LOSC), aka Pretentious Prick Capital (PP Capital) some exposure (seemingly much needed) and instead the dude rips on me?!?! Doesn’t understand why I’m still relevant (uhhh maybe cuz I detail all my mistakes—something nobody else in finance does and I’m willing to answer any AND all questions just as I post 40%+ returns in 5 months?!?!) What a pompous ass…so typical…(unsurprisingly, this rich daddy’s boy also guest writes for that other pretentious finance rag Traitor Monthly) Welcome to why I want nothing to do with the joke that is the financial community…this guy is an embarrassment to both finance and blogging—basically whatever he touches he dishonors—no doubt he went to an Ivy League … Continue reading
JPMorgan (JPM) To Buy Bear Stearns (BSC) For $10 Per Share!
March 24, 2008 at 12:05 am by Timothy Sykes
JPMorgan (JPM) in talks to quintuple the buyout price of Bear Stearns (BSC) from $2 to $10/share. Read the Marketwatch article HERE. Basically to shut up angry shareholders–including one very angry billionaire. I’m sure there’ll be updates… Remember how I said how everyone had an opinion on BSC the other day–shorts said “$2 is guaranteed by theFed”, longs said “no way this deal gets priced so low” and thanks to all the opinions BSC was priced somewhere in the middle @$6…now at $10, turns out the longs, the less popular opinion, were right, you should know what I’m gonna say next: TIM Lesson: There’s NO way to gets the odds in your favor so never never never play mainstream Wall … Continue reading
Damn All You People Who Contribute To Market Randomness!
March 18, 2008 at 1:09 pm by Timothy Sykes
Do you every wonder why EVERYONE in the finance world has an opinion on stocks like Bear Stearns (BSC)? Sure, sure, BSC is big time and their collapse could lead to others, the whole domino effect, but why do people believe they can accurately judge the outcome? I think it’s just the latest example of how this industry—Wall Street and those who cover Wall Street—operates. And why you smaller investors/traders, like TIM, should have nothing to do with it! I’ll explain… Look around at the most popular finance websites/blogs and you’ll see what I mean, TheStreet.com, Fool, Yahoo! Finance, CNBC, Marketwatch, FOX Business, Reuters, Bloomberg, Big Picture, Kedorsky, I could name these CRIMINALS all day. I say criminals because they’re … Continue reading
JPMorgan (JPM) Buying Bear Stearns (BSC) For $2 Per Share!
March 16, 2008 at 6:17 pm by Timothy Sykes
Forget $15 or $20. They’re only willing to pay $2 per share! Bear Stearns is now a penny stock. From this AP story All I can say is wow, if the situation is really this bad, Lehman is done for, along with many other peddlers, too. This could get uglyyyyyyyyy UPDATE: The Fed just cut 25 basis points, on a Sunday night! UPDATE 2: Enough already, I’m posting what a dozen people emailed: THIS ARTICLE with Cramer saying “No! No! No! Bear Stearns is not in trouble. If anything, they’re more likely to be taken over. Don’t move your money from Bear.” The guy was wrong. He’s wrong more often than not. He’s in the entertainment business…like the WWE…he’s The … Continue reading
Why Bear Stearns And Every Other Brokerage Are Nothing More Than Scummy Peddlers
March 15, 2008 at 8:48 pm by Timothy Sykes
Normally I shy away from writing about all the “established” stocks out there, companies like Bear Stearns (NYSE: BSC), especially when they’re covered by the WWF of financial media—CNBC (c’mon guys have me back on, I’ve been working on my eyebrow trick!!!) but this Saturday article speculating BSC will get taken over at $15 or lower or facing bankruptcy really hits home. Not because I have stock—I’d never—or because I know a bunch of people who work there—I know just a few (sorry, my heart truly goes out to you!!)… No, I bring this tragedy up for three reasons—1) considering the stock tanked from $90 to $30 in less than a month, a $15 takeover will kill those who “bought … Continue reading
