Those of you tuned in for LiveStock yesterday got to see our first professionally produced (Chuckieeeeeee) video clip entitled “Who Is Following Me?” You can now view it: HERE on youtube HERE on TIMtv HERE on blip.tv By speaking my mind, I haven’t made many friends in this biz–booo hooo, I already know enough superficial soulless bastards–so who do you guys think this stalker is? Is it the SEC Bin Laden, scummy stock promoters or theater majors upset that I called them out on being fake journalists? Dealbreaker seems to think it’s the SEC.

Who Is Following Me? Is It The SEC Or A Stock Promoter?

Why Getting Hacked, Like Losing Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars, Is A Good Thing
June 2, 2008 at 3:07 pm by Timothy Sykes
Yes it’s true, I’ll explain. While I’m a cynical old (in terms of market experience) short seller whose seen frauds, hype and pumping galore and think 99% of Wall Street is full of truly soulless scumbags, I’m also a big believer in learning through mistakes. Just like that time when I lost a few hundred thousand dollars, our Sunday night hack attack by some shady Russian hacker probly hired by a stock promoter I’ve pissed off (I don’t know how considering I have nothing against stock promoters and if they thought about what I’m trying to accomplish, they’d see that making penny stocks more transparent and hence more actively traded will benefit us all) is definitely a set back—all FORUM … Continue reading
When Timmayyy Is Dead Right: Manipulated Stocks Go Boom!
April 21, 2008 at 7:20 pm by Timothy Sykes
For the 3 most recently manipulated microcraps—CNOA (pumped by a CNBC “reporter” who mistook paid-for stock promotion for credible research, probly the result of majoring in theatre studies in college (seriously)), EDEN (agriculture product pumped by a TheStreet.com “journalist” who forgot to read the quarterly report mentioning they sold off that division!) and TIGR (I don’t wanna know the evil lurking behind that pump, possibly some SEC counter-intelligence subdivision trying to draw out fellow manipulators) I have been dead on. These are opportunities from which you can profit because I’m not talking about variables that indirectly affect stock prices (ie earnings, the economy)—no, these catalysts have a direct impact on the supply/demand of shares and consequently the stock price. Since … Continue reading
Why I Just Shorted Eden Bioscience Corp (EDEN): TheStreet.com’s Factually Inaccurate Pump And Dump!
April 18, 2008 at 12:36 pm by Timothy Sykes
As I mentioned in this post, this near 100% runup is entirely due to THIS laughable Thestreet.com article mentioning this failure of a company as a “below-the-radar company that produces Messenger, a highly effective and revolutionary agricultural product.” I could easily rip the company apart for its $23,000 in revenue in their latest quarter down from $189,000 just a few quarters ago—wow, their product must be really great! Even funnier is their yearly results—revenue of $350k vs. $4 million a few years back. Or before this miraculous article, EDEN was a $3 million company that was forced to do a 1-3 reverse split just two months ago in order to stay listed on the Nasdaq But I shorted 1,000 shares … Continue reading

Did I Do That? Pump & Dump Exposes And Revolutionary Finance Websites
April 15, 2008 at 2:41 pm by Timothy Sykes
With my CNOA pump and dump expose last night and it’s 25% tankage today, I gotta wonder: Possibly, probly, who knows…too bad I wasn’t short the stock myself—gotta learn to short sell these suckers BEFORE I chop ‘em to pieces, a la business models of Citron Research and Mark Cuban’s ShareSleuth.com Nahhhhhhhh a.) it didn’t fit my pattern and b.) it’s more fun to write brutally truthful articles about stocks in which you have no positions, you do it just cuz it’s the right thing to do I’ll tell you one thing I definitely did do right, that’s hiring and tirelessly working with Pallian to design the new site, which is looking redonkulous!

On CNOA, CNBC Aids And Abets Penny Stock Promoters
April 14, 2008 at 8:14 pm by Timothy Sykes
Let me start by saying I have no problem whatsoever with penny stock promotion—these tiny / failing / fraudulent companies need all the exposure / hype they can get or else they’ll never raise any capital and fail / be exposed as the frauds that they are soon rather than later. But I do take offense when entertainment outlets like CNBC try to pass themselves off as credible researchers. As I’ve posted HERE and HERE, their bumbling has hurt too many investors and they’ve helped make people afraid of penny stocks—which I cannot permit. Now, one of their wannabe journalists / entertainers, Sri Jegarajah, has written the single most naïve penny stock article I’ve ever read, “Wild About Rice” in … Continue reading
