Yea good interview Tim, I was listening and thinking if you did the 20-30gain to 8%loss strategy like Cam you would be up huge, but I know you need to protect capital, but if you look BSHF and VM just for example those were about 10-20% moves after a about 5% loss at its high. I agree with you cutting losses quickly though.

I surprised you youngsters even remember Vanilla Ice!

Cameron, enjoyed your site (while it was free). Unfortunately I only stumbled across it a few months before you went Black (will you ever go back?). Even more unfortunate is that the only stock I jumped in on with you was UTVG..

Since that loss, all of my trades have been short sales, and they have all been profitable. I think I have the dark gift as well..

LOL- that would be the day people should listen to my trading advice! I should have qualified that above statement by noting it’s only been three short sales I’ve made, and none have been huge profits (not even close!). Take today’s trade of HDY- in at $2.23, out at $2.15 (I should have gotten in around $2.30, and out at $2.10, but as Tim says- Woulda shoulda coulda).

I’m still very new to trading. Most of my experience is long biased investing based on going with what I know, research, and market timing, and I’m not even great at that (well, a bit better than many of the poor suckers out there):

Aside from day trading though, the $10k I put in the market late February closed today at $15,879. That is the real value after commissions and margin interest. It will be a long time before my day trading sees those kinds of returns, but I’m trying..

damn, 23 years old huh; I thought FOUS was an older guy until I googled him and found his myspace. Anyway, a very refreshing interview. It’s beautiful to hear a couple of non-ANALyst technical traders speak about the skill and simplicity of reading charts and predicting microcaps. I’ve got some work to do if I am to catch up to you and Cameron!

Who Is Timothy Sykes And Why Should I Care?

See Tim's full bio HERE. Tim turned a few thousand dollars into a few million by taking small gains time after time on hundreds of volatile penny stocks, discovering that his trading strategy, while consistently successful, works best for those with smaller accounts.

Determined to teach others this PennyStocking trading strategy (learn more HERE), he went back to his original $12,415 roots (already $33,956 even though the stock market has crashed) to show everyone how to turn thousands into millions, even while having a life (somewhat) and making plenty of mistakes.

How Can I Consistently Make Money In The Stock Market?

Hard work, Determination and Know How.

Hard work to learn how the greatly misunderstood niche of penny stocks provides opportunities every now and then on which you should pounce.

Determination to seek those probable profits out and know how in order to actually profit from them.

Long story short, wait for stocks that are extremely volatile - for whatever reason - and then aim to take small profits (between 10 and 50% within a few hours, days or weeks) here and there, either from betting on higher or lower prices (yes, you can make $ betting on lower prices, it's called Shortstocking (learn more HERE).

Why Penny Stocks?

As Tim explains in several ALL-NEW instructional DVDs (see them HERE) and in over 900+ blog posts, penny stocks are the most hyped and corrupt niche in the entire investment world. These two qualities make them the easiest to profit from (legally) because the vast majority of people who play penny stocks are suckers and all-around ignorant people. If you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have a clear advantage and it's like playing basketball against mental midgets.

Where Do You Find Stocks To Trade?

This is the #1 FAQ (see more HERE) and it is answered in THIS blog post.

Of course, that's just a brief introduction - to receive a full education, there is Tim's book An American Hedge Fund which is the story of his remarkable rise and lessons learned.

To truly increase your odds at profit, Tim has designed an entire set of detailed instructional DVDs, covering all the variables that amount to over 24 hours of instruction (see them all HERE)!
