How To Spend Trading/Blogging Profits: My 7-Day $11,000 Trip To Japan

By now you guys know that I’m a workaholic who’s been steadily growing his biz so I can proudly say this blog made $45k last month (see detailed breakdown HERE)…and as I’ve been preparing you guys for the last few weeks, I’m taking a trip–business vacation as I’m gonna get some good content to write for AOL Blogging Stocks, this site (and wheoever else wants anything from me!)–with my girlfriend to Japan August 20-September 1st.

I’ll still be doing TIMalerts each and every day, don’t you worry, I’m an addict, but please don’t email me questions – actually only if they’re about TIMalerts or my PennyStocking DVD (biz first!) – cuz it’s gonna be hard enough trying to manage my vacation/trading while working with a 14 hour time difference.
So I thought you’d like to know exactly what I’m doing—I’m bringing my newly acquired bad ass Flip Video (check out this beauty HERE) so we’ll have clips galore–but for now here’s my itinerary, basically wannabe-FU money, $11,000 blown in 7 days on extravagant hotels, meals and cool destinations….Jewww yeahhhhhh!

If you’re gonna work hard, you gotta enjoy the rewards:

Aug 20-21: $4,000ish Air Canada 2 people, 3 flight segments, only took a few days worth of research to find the Jewiest combo deal for 2 people, gotta go cheap on the 17 hour flight, aka no biz class, save $10k+, just gonna be full of Nyquil anyway

Aug 21-23: $500/night=$1,000 2 Nights at the Tokyo Ritz Carlton, 50th Floor, awesome views of the city, right in Roppongi aka the Rodeo Drive-like nice area, all around pimpest hotel chain, not just BS Trump-esque glitter either, these guys always come through, if all my readers weren’t so poor, I’d look to get sponsored by them in a heartbeat, as the spoiled Jew I am, I always look to book there. You hear me Ritz peeps! Look at that pool:

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:

If You’re In/Near NYC, Help Me Make A Music Video This Saturday Morning!

I’ve mentioned it a few times and we’ve already tried filming it once, but that fell apart–the camera guy never showed!–so this Saturday at 8AM we’re shooting a music video for my spoof on the classic video “You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party” (which you can watch HERE) aimed at finance people/traders and anybody who detests the absurd industry regulations as much I do.

Basically, I need some extras to film something similar to the pie throwing scene at the end the of the video, but instead of pies, we’ll all be throwing around fake money down on Wall Street (if all goes according to plan). We’re all gonna meet down on Wall Street, if you’re game, contact me HERE and I’ll tell you all the particulars.

We’ve got a kick ass song, videographer, producer and a few others so hopefully we can top THIS pretty sweet trading music video.

Guess What I Said To The SEC On Twitter?

Sure, you can write letters/email them on their official website SEC.gov, but since they are so understaffed, underpaid, inbred, illiterate and incompetent, there’s little chance you’ll actually be heard–unless of course you’re writing about insider trading, as time and again that’s what these dimwits have proven to be their only concern…

So when a few bloggers started writing about how they were on Twitter (see their profile HERE), a rather new form of internet communication, I had to direct message them my thoughts (since there’s a good chance they won’t be able to ignore that) (See my Twitter profile HERE)

Can you guess what I said?

Tell Me What Rewards You Want For TIMbucks

My apologies for the delay, just waaaaay too much going on lately. For those who don’t know, TIMbucks is a rewards program meant to try to bribe people to participate/comment more. The plan is to giveaway away little gifts like TIMalerts subscriptions, autographed copies of An American Hedge Fund, Apple iPod Shuffles, stuff like that.

Now is the time to figure out exactly what we’re gonna giveaway, most due to a really cool little website, Reebles.com, sponsoring TIMbucks, helping this cheap Jew give this stuff away.

Help My Intern/LiveStock Producer Zak Kaplan Out

If you watched last week’s episode of LiveStock, you were introduced to Zak, my intern/show producer and yes, he does kinda look like a Frodo’s Mexican cousin (some of you out there are clever!). But Zak has a problem…and you might be able to help him–you see in exchange for his help with LiveStock and extra website design help (Zak designed the graphics you see in the TIMstore)(Pallian is overworked designing our 4, yes, 4 new sites launching this fall), I’ve given young Zak a copy of my PennyStocking DVD package and vowed to teach him the ways of PennyStocking so he can stop being poor and forced to live in Brooklyn…

NEW YORK IBD MEETUP GROUP
Wednesday, July 23, 2007

7:00- 9:00 Gil Morales

If you’re in the area, I suggest you attend the event with me, not because you’ll meet a lot of great people and investors with superior market knowledge–screw that, most people there are gonna be just as poor, confused and distrusting as you–but because the speaker, Gil Morales, from 7-9pm is impressive. He worked with/studied under/wrote a book on short selling (see the decent book HERE) with the man William ‘CANSLIM’ O’Neill and check out his official bio:

How You Can Profit Like The Masters Of Short Selling

Just kidding, 99.9999999% of you cannot. Because the guys Businessweek just featured HERE have banked thanks to the work of their teams of ANALysts who dug through all kinds of filings to find some business glitches (don’t even bother, too many others doing that and they’re a lot smarter than you), hugely leveraged positions (don’t even think about it…while it worked for Soros, it killed Livermore…you are neither) and those that don’t take hugely leveraged short-term bets are all making longer-term bets (even if you’re right, you don’t have the capital to last that long as yearly margin interest is a bitch!)

Understand when I say this, some of you might be
