You Think I’m Gonna Make Up Aliases? Prepare To Stand Corrected!
I know, I know, I’m behind on several planned blog posts, but when I see comments like the one below, I just can’t help but respond:
No offense to the “real” diehards here but you all do realize that all these people claiming to have purchased the DVD and books is just Tim pumping his wares right? No difference to me that this is happening as I think he has a good system but c’mon. Maybe I am just a cynic…it’s just so blatantly obvious.
I will say that I do like to come here and find some good names to keep on my watch list as many of these “real” companies that explode and can be shorted, are actually good longs that you can buy after the meteoric rise and fall. If it’s a good company, the stock will withstand the straight up and shorted down and rebound upwards i.e. HYGS, TGC and most probably JOEZ. Thanks for all the info, but no thanks on the DVD’s. LOL
After I saw that, I asked a few others if they thought I was making up people and testimonials to “sell my wares” and they said YES?!?!?!? Are you guys
Let My Haters Entertain You aka They Feed Me The Fuel That I Need For The Fire
It’s been a slow summer—the economy, housing and the consumer are collapsing, along with Traitor Monthly Magazine—all paying for their many sins of the past (an economic Sodom & Gemorah!). Hard working, research-lacking, coke-snorting finance freaks everywhere are either getting paid less or losing their jobs, which is really hitting the drug trade hard, and yet I’m doing the same thing I always do, profiting (70% in 7 months) and teaching others to profit (grad student Tony Ellis up $50k, Mike the machinist up $300k!) from the most corrupt, manipulated and incompetent publicly traded companies in the world (promoted and managed by many cokeheads too…no joke)!
Maybe it’s my booming site traffic…which has led to steady growth in my monthly income of $10k, $15k, $20k and now $25k (yeah suck on that you cubicle monkeys!) or my #1 ranking on Covestor for both popularity (see HERE) and performance (see HERE)….or the fact that I’ve gotten over 200+ subscribers within just a few weeks for my premium TIMalerts real-time trade alert service (average gain 20% per pick..so far, whaaaaaat)…or cuz I like mentioning my no BS PennyStocking instructional DVD package (newbies get this before you email me basic questions) and critically acclaimed best selling book An American Hedge Fund in most of my blog posts (cuz they’re damn quality products!)…or perhaps it’s because I could care less about/enjoy ripping on all the BS traditions and BSers in this joke of an ego-based, coke-fueled leverage-loving industry (see my recent interview on this subject HERE) and most definitely it’s due to me not giving a flying f$#% about standard grammar/politeness nor selling out to use my pseudo-celebrity status to make more money than most by ripping thousands of people off—as is standard soulless bastard industry practice—but for whatever reason, my hater (s) have (has) come out in force.
To all you hardcore traders, this post is not a waste, it’s pure entertainment baby…and it keeps you and me both away from forcing trades on setups that aren’t there!
God Bless My Haters, They Help Me Without Even Realizing It
Got this hilarious email yesterday:
Tim,
I think you’re total slimebag. You make money off the worst stocks in the world and the dumbest people in the world. Those chart patterns you’re so proud of are the biggest no-brainers out there. The fact that you think you’ve invented something new shows how dumb you really are. Enjoy picking up pennies the rest of your life dirtbag, you can wash my car any day!

Forbes The Latest Victim In Randall Lane’s Web Of Deceit Or Why Trader Monthly aka Doubledown Media Is Failing
Based on nothing more than widespread rumors, circumstantial evidence and a few sources—not coincidentally the same reasoning they once used to find me guilty of a crime I didn’t commit—Trader Monthly aka Traitor Monthly aka Doubledown Media—they use several aliases because, like any common criminal, their flawed ideology and dirty deeds are finally catching up with them—is failing fast.
Like any good wannabe journalist, not that I really wannabe, I should mention my history with these cockroaches, specifically their twisted son of a bitch editor-in-thief chief, Randall “The ideal reader is 29 years old, making $400,000 a year, and spending all of it.” Lane. And thankfully, that reprehensible quote (yes he really said it, seemingly proudly, see article HERE) is one of the foremost reasons why rumors are swirling that Doubledown Media, devastated by several legal battles—everybody from Lenny Dykstra to Private Air—and the loss of their CFO (hey, they really are a typically corrupt financial firm!) is down to just one magazine, from five, and is close to shutting their doors. After all, given the economy, difficult industry times and unemployment/bankruptcy of those who espouse such blatantly flawed thinking, who’s really gonna read or advertise their junk? And of course, there are the sordid details…
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 services and the income they can must from that delusion.
This is no different than the hardly-human-anymore-scumbags over at EliteTrader who lie, each minute, about their trades and lives as they are the kinds of soulless bastards that represent this joke of an industry. It’s downright detestable for we know 90% of traders lose money and that 70% of professional fund managers fail to beat the indexes each year, so people who spend their time writing and commenting about the market—just about always using some corny alias or afraid to link their Facebook profile—aren’t any better. In fact, since they waste so much research/trading time writing and commenting everywhere, their actual results are probly far worse!
Don’t believe me—good. Learn to distrust everyone and you’ll be better off.
(Of course, I do use my real name, am one of the top ranked on Covestor and detail my losses openly cuz they’re great teaching tools, but I have a different prospective than most. I also am profiting for my openness through my book An American Hedge Fund and instructional DVD PennyStocking)
Behold The Incredible Shrinking Stock: Converted Organics Inc (COIN)
As you probably know by now, me no likie COIN. Not only is it a pumped up penny stock–in the truest sense–they’ve got less revenue than my publishing company BullShip Press (seriously!), sketchy promoters/PR people galore and a whole host of other problems I don’t feel like digging through because I value my kneecaps, but now, as PennyStocking DVD student Jeff “The Man” Rogers pointed out, their stock is the perfect example of a multi-month head and shoulders breakdown chart pattern, the most reliably bearish pattern there is.
Now, the pumpers/amateurs who are drunk on the company’s rather refined PR machine-induced Kool-Aid, are adding shares here, desperately trying to hold support in the mid $7s–the only problems are a.) given their naivety they don’t have much capital b.) the absolute joke of an earnings release the other day makes Dennis Gartman look like the fool/classy pump and dumper that he is and c.) as THESE charts show, this turd of a company is in the grips of the flip side of the Supernova chart pattern (can ya guess what product you can buy to hear me explain them all!?!?!), kinda like death/the SEC itself.
My First Yahoo! Finance / TradingMarkets.com Article: How To Short Sell Pumped Up Penny Stocks
Check it out right HERE. You’ll discover that when you write a brutally honest piece like that—without pay or motives considering I’m not short any of the stocks mentioned nor do I know anybody who’s short—you’re not gonna make too many friends in this joke of an industry. Especially down here in the gutter of the stock market.
Big whoop, I have too many friends already—it’s more fun to write for honesty’s sake, helping the unfortunate suckers who aren’t as experienced as me. That’s my business model and it’s gonna piss off a lot of the people who earn their livings by preying on those amateurs. Deal with it. If I do my job right, penny stocks and microcaps will become infinitely more popular because people will understand how to play the game.
Think of it as cleaning up SoHo so we can build all these nice shops and attract tourists in our neighborhood for once. I’m not trying to get rid of the manipulation—that’ll never happen—just trying to explain it so people can profit from it.
Hey, Randall Lane, You Sick Twisted Son Of A Bitch, Remember Me?
Photo Of Randall Lane By Chester Higgins Jr./The New York TimesNote: Aside from the last paragraph this post is written following the journalistic style of Randall Lane—treating assumptions and circumstantial evidence as fact. It’s cruel, amateurish and immature—oh yes, I know—but that basically sums this guy up so in order to help him grow up, he must be given a taste of his own medicine.
To those who don’t care and just want stock picks—this is also a great lesson on how to pounce when your enemy is wounded, no different than the vultures who took out Bear or LTCM.
Last time Randall Lane, editor-in-chief of Traitor Monthly was in Page Six, he was attacking a small-time trader (me) because his magazine staff fumbled, disinviting me from their little party at the last minute after we’d been discussing my covering the event for MSN Money for days.
Clearly in the wrong, this balding bastard was forced to go on the offensive, charging my hedge fund’s losses were the result of my publicity hounding rather than bothering to research the matter like a responsible journalist might do (turning his nose up at the complimentary book I’d sent him weeks before that explained the situation in detail) and running his arrogant mouth off to the press, confident of favorable treatment due to his connected Forbes wife.
Now, just a few months later, the tables have turned as Lane himself was fired as publisher of the Player’s magazine by Lenny “Nails” Dykstra who called Randy boy out on what he’s becoming known for, trash talking when he doesn’t get his way: “If you want to fight, take me on. Don’t go behind my back and bad mouth me,” said Dykstra. “He thinks I’m going to buckle,” said Dykstra, referring to Doubledown President Randall Lane. “I don’t buckle - I go to war.”
Stock Puppets: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cutting Through Industry BS
When I created this book-blog-DVD publishing business model that is BullShip Press, LLC, I figured I’d repeat my feat, become the top ranked / most popular guy on Covestor, show everyone exactly how to turn thousands into millions trading fantastically predictable penny stocks without using any leverage whatsoever, cut through all the industry corruption and ego, teach a few people and many former suckers how to profit from it, and piss a few others off by promoting my book An American Hedge Fund and instructional DVD PennyStocking in EVERY blog post (cuz they’re that important / helpful / necessary and help cut down too many questions / emails I get).
Everything’s been going well—and then, a few weeks ago, I discovered some bastard using a variation of my name, “timsykus1” on the animalistic Yahoo! message boards. I did some research and discovered the term for this kind of deceit is a “sock puppet”. I thought, okay, that was bound to happen, ignore it.
Flash forward to last night when I’m doing my nightly screen for potential pump and dumps and I come upon VRML, a miserably failing biotech in the same vein as its Paulie-from-the-movie-Rocky-like relatives REED, PSTI and VION, all of which were great to short sell into. And lo and behold, who do I see promoting this thing that belongs in a toilet—yup, “timsykus1” again, using my good name—at least to those who are blind in one eye—to pump this stock!
5 Penny Stock Trading Misconceptions
Thanks to my talent for self-promotion, I’ve been exposed to a crazy number of investors, traders and market theories. Here are a few misconceptions that keep popping up and are in desperate need of correcting:
1.You can’t short sell stocks under $5, you’re a liar and a fraud!
Ridiculous, of course you can! There’s no SEC rule against it, many crappy brokers just don’t allow it—hence their “crappy” title. If you want to learn PennyStocking, shorting low priced stocks is essential—that’s why I use Thinkorswim, I’m proud to do all my trading there—they rock!
2. Smallcap and microcap trading is a joke, if you want to prove yourself as a trader, trade large stocks, currencies or futures. Also, what kind of a trader is afraid to use leverage?
Thanks in no small part to the misguided, and ultimately harmful, teachings of yet another entertainment outlet masquerading as journalists, Traitor Monthly, many people think trading is about making the most, being the best and getting to the top the quickest. Screw that! Focus on long-term earning and learning—this isn’t a sport as your career doesn’t end when you’re 35-40 (it’s usually just beginning)—and look for high percentage profits wherever they might be. Yes, my niche will always be looked down upon cuz it’s unscalable and that’s just the way I like it.
All the smartest people ignore it so it’s an easier playing field—advantage me. I guess I’ll just have to console myself with annual profit potential of a few hundred thousand to a few million/year. Boo hoo.
And no, I’ll never use leverage—as these street peddlers are learning, yes, it can inflate profits, but it risks disaster. I’ll never advocate any strategy that risks disaster—short selling is risky enough as it is. Learn from the mistakes of the past—nothing is ever guaranteed…besides, if a strategy is worthwhile, the profits will be there and they’ll be hard earned and natural.
Revolt Of The Untalented Financial Writers!
Many of you are familiar with Seeking Alpha articles–mostly because SA’s founder David Jackson did a great job getting his content onto Yahoo! Finance–it ain’t due to the quality of work! It’s more because the financial media circus is all about more content.
Breaking news, earnings, scandals…bleh blah blah, all the most active stocks must be covered and dissected by boring-ass stuck-up finance freaks, all of whom put together are less entertaining than a block of wood all while they consistently underperform the major indexes aka people who should have no audience whatsoever and instead focus on learning how to beat the market and not being scum-sucking fee-earning marketers who take advantage of the general public’s lack of market understanding.
So, it’s rather funny to me–and it should be to you too–that many of these wannabes are revolting against SA, angry they’re not getting paid for their efforts.
LongorShort Capital Earns Nickname: Pretentious Prick Capital, aka Matt Damon In School Ties
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 School as they’re breeding grounds for these kinds of pretentious pricks…like Matt Damon’s character in School Ties
To All My Haters Out There, This One’s For You!
I don’t know what’s caused the recent surge in hate mail—beauties like:
“I lost any respect for the book you wrote after seeing your website….what a load of SHIT!!!!!!!”, “I read about your story and in 2 minutes I already know your scam” and “YOU SUCK. You aren’t an investment guru, you are a frick’in retard Cramer wannabe. Dip shit.”
Maybe it’s because I’ve treated AA Dupre more like an object than a person. (Uhhhhhh, she sells her body, doesn’t that make her comparable to merchandise?) Or that I enjoyed using her gossip—repeatedly—to exemplify the kind of bottom-dweller-spikes-briefly-before-fading-back-down-to-the-gutter stock chart patterns from which I profit? (Yah, many of you still don’t get that, maybe THESE slides from my PennyStocking DVD Package will help you there) Maybe it’s due to the fact that the gossip has led to over 100,000 website visitors in the past 8 days and some nice DVD sales from people who never thought about comparing gossip to pump and dumps (I know it’s my specialty, but is this really not obvious?)
But more likely its due to the fact that now after 4.5 months since inception, my mistake-riddled (but always detailed) little TIM portfolio is up nearly 35%, making me #1 by a mile on investor ranking website Covestor!
Oh yeah, I know, it’s pretty small-time, compared to the big bad world of hedge funds, but you forget that I’m trading microcraps, smallcraps and penny stocks. According to acceptable financial practice, I should’ve lost everything by now, right? (Like the people who buy into these stock turds, the financial community is lacking in researching ability (maybe that’s why many of you are Wall Street analysts) (snap!) and forget that my approach is actually somewhat conservative: never use leverage and to short sell them, or when buying never to trust them as if their ticker was BSC! How dare I try to take these wretched little creatures mainstream? Who am I to think they are right for average investors?
Well, I’ll tell you exactly who I am—I am one of those average investors. Read back through my 500 blog posts and you’ll see I’m nothing special. Just a guy with a big mouth who’s sick of everyone ridiculing the only sector that’s ever provided consistent profits! Now, as I’m always sayin’, it’s time for little Timmayyy to cut through the BS…So to you ignorant haters, I say watch this clip:
And please be sure to keep it up because you only encourage me to work harder! I know you won’t research—c’mon, no time with all your resume sending and all night coke sessions, no worries, be yourselves and have fun, but if you think I only got lucky in the dot com boom, you’re wrong! If you think I’m trying to cheat people out their money, you’re wrong! If you think I’m ever gonna give up or not answer any and all questions tossed my way, you’re wrong! You think smaller investors don’t need help from somebody like me, you’re sooooooo wrong!I keep forgetting that thanks to the efforts of all the other “gurus” in the financial education market, you people have become scared little doggies. Like abused little doggies, it’s gonna take you a while to trust people again. Especially considering the detestable beings on Wall Street— money-hungry gurus and corporate drones alike—can hardly be described as human. I keep forgetting how abused you doggies have been. My bad. PS You can now follow me on Twitter, haters preferred!
