7 Stocks To Watch While I’m Flying To Japan
I’ll try to check in throughout the day, but I’ve got 17 hours of flying to do today, so pretty much count me out. Here are the stocks I’m watching:
DYAX had a continued failed brekaout, boring messy chart, next!
POGS Dark Bitch is bragging how he found the stock a day before me, forgetting common blog rules where you link to the blog you mention as I linked to Dark Bitch, guy seems to forget this is my bread and butter strategy for the past decade, he learned short selling penny stocks from me, I don’t miss these gimmes, but I don’t have a chatroom, I have a pre-market watchlist.
The Latest Monster TIMalert Victory: Action Products International, Inc. (APII) Down 45% Since Alert To Short
As 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:
Pondering Offering A Lifetime TIMalerts Subscription Option…
With my latest massive short selling TIMalert victory on APII, which is now down 45%+ on the day (detailed post with some ridiculously awesome testimonials coming tonight), I jokingly Twittered HERE and commented:
covered $APII for monster 25% overnight gains, now accepting lifetime TIMalert subscriptions http://www.timalerts.com
…and this is how my one-time greatest hater, Michael Goode, immortalized by his now classic “Timothy Sykes is full of bullship” blog post (read it HERE)-turned-greatest-fan (evidenced by THIS post) responded:
TIMalerts 2 Month Review, Let’s See How Everyone’s Fared
It’s been exactly 2 months since TIMalerts, real-time stock alerts by me, started and I gotta say it’s been a resounding success. Now 400 subscribers strong, each post on the subscribers-only website TIMalerts.com now gets 80-150 comments (that’s why this site has been so quiet lately) and everybody seems to be enjoying my track record below:
A Review Of My Latest TIMalert: Only 15% Overnight Gains, Sorry!
So 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!)
Why I Bought Turnaround Play Noble International, Ltd. (NOBL) at $5
Well, 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
Boo Hoo, It’s Been 6 Days Since I Traded, Here’s My Response:
So it’s been exactly SIX trading days since I’ve traded any stock and you gotta multiply that number by about 100 to get to the number of emails and comments on this blog I’ve received from people questioning why I’ve stopped trading.
Guys, my ideal plays do not come about every day. I rely on spammers to do their usual pumping, suckers to be their usual gullible selves and the whole mechanism behind this gutter of the stock market–that being internet message boards, email, fax and hard copy spam, chat rooms, deceptive press releases, soulless stock promoters–all to play their part in this grand musical I call Pennystocking. Only then do I strike as my odds are not 40/60 or 50/50 (like most traders), but 80/20 and sometimes even 90/10.
If those of you commenting weren’t so lazy, you’d have read my 800+ blog posts by now and you’d understand this concept better. If those of you commenting weren’t so cheap, you’d have sucked up the $300 eduction fee and bought my PennyStocking DVD by now and you’d understand this concept better.
But the market has spoiled you the past few months. I have spoiled you.
Posted on the front page of the TIMalerts-subscribers-only-website, you’ve seen my rather impressive TIMalert track record below–average gain per alert of 20% within 1-2 days and all the testimonials (which make ALL other investment newsletters pale in comparison) and you think you’ve been given the secret to making money in the stock market for $30/month (nope, just a way to make high probable trades when the right variables align):
Guess My New Laptop & Win TIMalerts, Winner To Be Announced On LiveStock 1-2PM EST!

Behold The Latest Perfect TIMalerts Short: Mechanical Technology Inc. (MKTY), Down 30% Since My Alert
Another 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
Sometimes 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!

Two TIMalerts: Why I Bought Energy Recovery, Inc. (ERII) & Tried Shorting New Century Energy Corp. (NCEY)
Here are today’s trades, and almost trades, told below by the unedited emails that went out to TIMalert subscribers today (and subscriber’ registrations will be activated tonight for the TIMalert subscribers only members website (TimAlerts.com) that will/should be fully functional tomorrow with the near real-time posting of any emailed alerts and commenting capabilities)
(every one else, don’t worry, TimothySykes.com will always remain free and open, think TheStreet.com & RealMoney.com-type model)
Today, basically NCEY was unborrowable to short (did anybody get in on that?) and ERII broke out as I was wanted/expected, up $2 or 20% from my alert, but it dipped a bit first and since I suck at/have no confidence buying stocks, I took a quick $150 loss…I’d do it again cuz you gotta remember with my account this small, I’m all about safety first…of course if the Pattern Day Trading Rule wasn’t in effect, I could easily have gotten in again when it broke the $11.30-$11.40 area…but no whining because look at these subscribers testimonials (you guys matter infinitely more than my own little account)!!
“I’m up 1200 so far on ERII. Great pick!” –bestdeception
“made 200 dollar on ERII :)” –marketgirl
“$500 profit on erii…tim alert. i’m up $1400 in my first 2 days of tim alerts” –Jonescade
“Tim, thanks for the ERII….made about $800, easily could have been $1200″ –Aaron
“Hurrrrraaayyyyy, I bought TIMAlerts yesterday for $29.95. I made $326 this morning on ERII” –Ron
“Made 250$ on ERII. Thanks to TimAlerts..Was tentative and opened 200 shares..still it worked!” –Seattle Guy
“I had only 500 shares, banked total $1035 from ERII (after comm. & fees).” –Ryan
10:15am:
i just bought 500 shares of cool water energy recent IPO ERII on the breakout at 11.29 (poor execution)…11 was previous high, 10ish was the low and its only been on the market for 3 days…over
