TIM $15,001, Up $68, Stupid Trade Pays For Sushi Dinner

Another slow day—no big smallcap movers—but just some more reasons to love Thinkorswim. This time around, it wasn’t excellent customer service or their letting me slip by the ridiculous Pattern Day Trading Rule, it was them letting me short a stock under $3. I thought that was a hard rule, but apparently the customer is always right with these guys—I love it! IB, Ameritrade, E*Trade and Scottrade users, you poor poor people, you deserve better, you deserve Thinkorswim.

The stock was Arte Medical (ARTE), a company that makes a supposedly safer Botox-like product, that quickly surged 30%+ on news that Botox is more dangerous than previously thought. (hmmmm, injecting toxins and bacteria into your face because you’re a superficial slut is dangerous—who knew?!?!)

TIM $13,928, Up $20, Gonna Splurge Tonight, Maybe Olive Garden!

Daily comedic relief

Potential Supernovas: None, unfortunately

See which stocks I think you should buy ahead of earnings!

FRPT another Lionmaster pick, spiked mid-afternoon on TradeTheNews.com big contract rumor, rumors are usually wrong, too tough to chase, continuation of this move possible, but not overly likely, avoid until after the fact because if true, this can really go up big and that is predictable.

APWR, Superman on TheLion.com’s call of the day, called it around $15ish after contract news (unfortunately not signed, just LOIs, could be fluff, but it’s hypeable fluff!), great, great, great chart breakout of 3 month base between $12 and $14. Now that is a breakout, none of that possible breakout crap, click this chart:

Who Is Timothy Sykes And Why Should I Care?

See Tim's full bio HERE. Tim turned a few thousand dollars into a few million by taking small gains time after time on hundreds of volatile penny stocks, discovering that his trading strategy, while consistently successful, works best for those with smaller accounts.

Determined to teach others this PennyStocking trading strategy (learn more HERE), he went back to his original $12,415 roots (already $27,000 even though the stock market is down 20%!) to show everyone how to turn thousands into millions, even while having a life (somewhat) and making plenty of mistakes.

How Can I Consistently Make Money In The Stock Market?

Hard work, Determination and Know How.

Hard work to learn how the greatly misunderstood niche of penny stocks provides opportunities every now and then on which you should pounce.

Determination to seek those probable profits out and know how in order to actually profit from them.

Long story short, wait for stocks that are extremely volatile - for whatever reason - and then aim to take small profits (between 10 and 50% within a few hours, days or weeks) here and there, either from betting on higher or lower prices (yes, you can make $ betting on lower prices, it's called Shortstocking (learn more HERE).

Why Penny Stocks?

As Tim explains in several ALL-NEW instructional DVDs (see them HERE) and in over 900+ blog posts, penny stocks are the most hyped and corrupt niche in the entire investment world. These two qualities make them the easiest to profit from (legally) because the vast majority of people who play penny stocks are suckers and all-around ignorant people. If you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have a clear advantage and it's like playing basketball against mental midgets.

Where Do You Find Stocks To Trade?

This is the #1 FAQ (see more HERE) and it is answered in THIS blog post.

Of course, that's just a brief introduction - to receive a full education, there is Tim's book An American Hedge Fund which is the story of his remarkable rise and lessons learned.

To truly increase your odds at profit, Tim has designed an entire set of detailed instructional DVDs, covering all the variables that amount to over 24 hours of instruction (see them all HERE)!
