Just got one too many emails from weird weird weird people who mistakenly believe TIM is associated with The Timothy Plan. Let me set the record straight: hell no! Those guys give Timothy’s everywhere a bad name. Take one look at their mission statement and see that they’re total whack jobs:

The Timothy Plan® is a family of mutual funds offering individuals, like yourself, a biblical choice when it comes to investing. If you are concerned with the moral issues (abortion, pornography, anti-family entertainment, non-married lifestyles, alcohol, tobacco and gambling) that are destroying children and families you have come to the right place.

Their marketing materials probly should include pictures like this:

religion TIM Rips On Timothy, Two Verrrrrry Different Brands

Unsurprisingly, Morningstar rates all their 14 funds one and two stars because they get graded on performance, not morality. And yet for all their inferiority, cult company assets are pretty decent—no doubt religion is a mighty find marketing device. (damn, if I only knew when I was trying to grow my hedge fund!)

These guys just don’t get it—Wall Street is a battlefield, Saving Private Ryan-style. You don’t bring a knife to a gunfight so it’s pretty damn tough when you don’t believe in guns. They need to watch my WallStrip interview and see the one rule to live by: “no coke, no hookers!” Invest in and trade everything else—good and bad information—use the good, bet against the bad…real and fake companies…preferably fake—more predictable…okay maybe not everything else, no drugs (poor risk-reward) nor slaves (as I said on CNN)

Here’s my personal advice to you Timothy Plan twirps: don’t ignore companies and people that offend you, short sell them! Just as I wish I could short sell your funds. Maybe at your next cult holiday party, instead of promoting closed-mindedness in the form of pipe bombs meant for abortion clinics, you can give the gift of knowledge in the form of my instructional DVDs! Then, if you got good enough at Short Selling , you’re funds will outperform, assets will rise and your cult company will prosper.

Remember, by working to make stock prices collapse, you can do far more damage to the “evil-doers” than you ever could by ignoring them. Hell Heck, maybe you can even drive some of those evil CEOs into Patrick Byrne-like states of madness. (He insanely sanely believed there was a Sith Lord-esque plot against his company, right before he got shipped off to Arkham Asylum where that talented bastard proceeded to secure a role in the upcoming Batman movie!)

  1. hahaha - great post!

  2. OK, who was supposed to be watching NEON and did not tell us all that was going to happen ….

    TIM, you should have been on the job, instead of drunk and out of action.

    BTW: Covestor sucks .. they need to fix their stats. 150% return for TIM is nonsense.

  3. NEON, who cares if it tanks $1, it was never on my potential shorts, it was on my potential buys…that kind of drop is why i dont recommend buying microcraps..

  4. and i addressed the covestor question in a post a few days ago

  5. yes, I know you addressed the covestor nonsense. I read it … still does not mean it is not nonsense.

    When you reach an account of $1.2 Million, it will report a return of 9,000,000,000,000 % … what use will that be to anyone ? Covestor need to fix their software to show proper returns.

  6. The whole mutual fund industry is just a way for investors to give away 1% of the market

  7. 7

    There’s no news to be found, their website ain’t worth taking up server space considering what it tells about the co., but the past few days the volume’s jumped. Recently, they did a reverse 1:33 split. All there is to be said really is a very slight, probably nothing blip showed. Maybe they just want to keep the lights on. If you dare waste your time looking it up: SEVO on the Pink Sheets.

    Disclosure: This typer currently owns it due to taking a position a while ago. That’s why the tremor was noticed.

  8. Tim, finally a value stock guy with personality, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JifhVlAk5rY

  9. NEON is a textbook example, as you mentioned earlier Tim, on why you should ALWAYS check out all time frames. Look at the weekly chart on NEON. Not too bullish now is it?

  10. i have mutual funds cuz i cant trade the easily–i have a quick trigger finger so if i was up 3-4% in a day or two, it’d be tough for me not to sell. also PRPFX is just the most perfect thing i’ve ever seen

  11. Tim, I rcently moved some cash from a mutual fund that got started when I was a kid and put it into PRPFX.

  12. Timmay - Couldn’t you come up with a way to commit fraud and exploit the name to make a ton of money and then I can be hired to investigate your fraud???

  13. slight five-day breakout on XIN, any thoughts from anyone?

  14. Anyone seen any good super novas today?

  15. Hey BnBien What’s wrong with your covesto?

  16. *covestor

  17. Did anyone read the article on OMEX in the New Yorker? Classic microcrap stock, and I know for a fact that some of the “smart” money sunk millions into this venture.

  18. Alright thanks for the info guys. I’m checking all the major sites cnbc.com, money.cnn.com, what other sites can I get insider info on? What are you guys looking at for next week? I see XIN.

  19. What’s up with these airlines going bk? http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TR.....ankruptcy/

    aloha, ata, now skybus??? not to mention now the FAA in bed with southwest and whistle-blowers…mmmm sounds a bit like 2001….rrrrreeeecession and another shakeup in the travel/airlines sector. oh and not mention again, why you’d never want to listen to “We’re doing great! Numbers look solid!” statements from CEO’s and board of directors–ANY of them!

    http://www.ajc.com/business/co....._0404.html

  20. omex’s chart makes it irrelevant…just like cnn.com and cnbc.com

    at least xin has some volatility, but given that it did nothing after its last spike, i doubt it’ll make a good reversal this time around

  21. Joseph,

    I requested Covestor to change my account to Auto-Verified because I had set it to Manual verification before when I first signed up. Now that I’ve used the site more extensively and I’ve come to like it, I prefer Auto-Verified so that I don’t have to manually submit my monthly statements. They are in the process of making the switch for me, but when I sent them my brokerage account details, Covestor said they were unable to link-up. Now I am waiting to hear back from them. I’ve been meaning to update, but nothing new has happened besides losing $400 today on NCC; I’m an idiot.

  22. Hey Tim you don’t like cnbc and cnn? What should I be looking at?

  23. i like cnn and cnbc for entertainment, no different than hbo or showtime. if u want to make $ trading, u really don’t need any media…just find stocks that are in play, thats why the internet is gonna wipe all the junk out, or at least overtake it

  24. on that thought….

  25. Anybody want to recommend any sites for info?

  26. i think timmay writes his own comments. there just aren’t enough people on this planet that are this big of complete idiots.

  27. ha i wish i had time to write fake comments, they’d be funnier…and u underestimate how lost most people r, not to mention overestimating your own intelligence
