More TIMtv Video Clips To Cure Your Trading Addiction

Tags: Bad Trades, DVD, Impatience, TIMtv, Videos

When I see emails and blog comments from people asking about random ass stocks like Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (SIRI), Ford Motor Company (F) and China Finance Online Co. (ADR) (JRJC), I know I haven’t promoted my instructional DVD PennyStocking hard enough. I thought I was doing a good job, but it turns out I was wrong. Cuz if you had seen it, you’d know its central theme is to only trade worthy opportunities being a.) incredibly volatile stocks—think up 50-300% in a few days and b.) inefficient stocks—think spam stocks, message board/newsletter pumps…stuff like NTI…NEVER would I recommend playing large liquid companies that everyone and their mother has some opinion on. On those, you have no odds whatsoever, so it’s no wonder why so many traders lose money.

You’re overtrading.

Trust me, I know how addictive the kinds of profits you made on PDO, MXC, FPP, and ROYL can be, but now you gotta step back and realize those patterns are gone now. As I anticipated, traders of smallcaps—where there’s only a few truly worthy opportunities per week—need to be distracted/entertained the rest of the time….and that’s why I’ve already uploaded more funny/educational/wastes of time videos to TIMtv…Watch these anytime, but if you feel the need to profit and you rationalize trades by saying to yourself “let’s see how this goes” or “after all, trading is like gambling” or the worst “win some, lose some”, immediately go to TIMtv and stop trading! Your account will thank you…and remember LiveStock tomorrow at 1PM EST not so sharp!

    Thanks alot Tim. Now I really cant sleep. I’m all out of trades anyway, dam pdt rules.

    Alvari40, and Tim Family

    How in the hell do you read these charts like that. It looks like a dam puzzle. Alvari40 you were able to see the opening price was going to be low. I looked up candlestick at investopedia.com

    I’m learning guys.

    Timmy, what is a random ass stock

    a random ass stock is one on which u have no edge…its just a random business with random news and random price action…i prefer failing businesses with fluffy news and predictable price action…nothing is guaranteed but if u stick to certain setups the odds are in your favor

    That Pump and Dump video was Stock Jock-E from Hotstockmarket.com. It’s not your typical stock forum. We try to inform and educate the unlearned, not pump a bunch of random stocks. Tim, you should register and check it out. I think you’d fit right in.
