Gonna be interesting with a 1PM lunch meeting (at the Plaza, anybody feel free to stop by and make me look like a popular blogger! Seriously)…trying not to think about how I’m $175 under the big $20k, up 11% on the month, 14% on the quarter and now 60% since inception…even with all my mistakes…even with the markets getting wrecked…oh wait that’s thinking about it, damnit!
LAUD
Broke out perfectly at $3.40 all the way to $4 (and probly more today) and as I alerted TIMalert subscribers at $3.65, I missed my executions at $3.40, $3.47 and $3.50…then got chicken…good news is, as usual, my shortcomings don’t matter, I just throw what I see out there for you guys—Yngvai got some at $3.47 and sold out right before the close for an easy $150, or 10%, gain inside of an hour
Mike the machinist and a few others got in too…this 50 cent/share gain…so far…was telegraphed a mile away, just gotta get comfortable with slow OTCBB executions and buying blatant frauds…this could really spike…reserve shares just in case
HYHY
Finally cracked, anybody still have shares short? If so, good job, patience is goooood, me, me, I want some!
ROYL/MXC/FPP/PDO
These are the four amigos that all went parabolic/Supernova…now ROYL has broken out again (usually only good for short quick short scalps and buys on morning squeezes possible afternoon fades) MXC has broken down (don’t try to dip buy or scalp long, hugely bearish when all others hold up), FPP is trying to breakout–$7.85 is clear double-top right now, if it breaks and has volume, ould take out stop losses at $8 and run immediately to $8.50…but it’s gotta breakout into strong sellers and PDO which got slammed by a report calling it overvalued (Citron surprisingly soft, means they got nothing, actually a positive, short squeeze still on, as evidenced by late day runup…watch out for possible fades though)
In short, reserve shares of each for different kinds of possible shorting, just in case as it costs you nothing!
URRE
Made $200 shorting it for 15 cents, TIMalert subscribers know the whole trade, decent little scalp, but good news is there could/should be another short squeeze today, buying opportunity for you guys who like upwards waves, good shorting for those of us who are comforted by the tons and tons of bitter shareholders in this and the seemingly unending amount of sellers at every turn…ideally it spikes in the morn, fades/plunges in the afternoon…or maybe even another bouncy up day…have no expectations, just reserve shares to short
HYGS
Squeezed a lot of over-confident shorts…remember, a red day is guaranteed until the maket close…that’s why I don’t like shorting mid-day…ahhh yes, another time-tested lesson learned
AUSE
Spammer 12 cents away from breakout, then it should be somewhat easy 25-50 cents of upside…in spam we trust, make sure it breakouts first though and not double-tops
GRZ
Morning spiker, gradual fader, afterhours permit news…not my kind of stuff, not up enough, reminds me of NYNY, good for 10-20 cent/scalps which make you go bald from too much worrying
KRY
Big up move, permit news related…blehhh, at least more volatile than GRZ, reserve shares just in case
UEC
Spiked for a gradual month early in the year, this looks steeper, good for quick reversal possibility…reserve shares just in case
XRIT
Remember this one? The gradual runup continues and it actually crossed over some moving averages, watch it!
LGDI
Keep consolidating well, breaking out small…when is the big breakout? Today? Tomorrow? Ever? It’s really gotta get more volume though
IDAE
Spammer/gradual upward trender finally had a big up day on strong volume…more to come? Charts says too early to short, but you need know how quickly these things collapse, reserve shares just in case
SPDE
Fluffy iPhone news was hyped all over message boards in the morn, big afternoon fade shows how BS it all was…learnnnn the message board hype game
BSHF
Sent out another round of spam mail, if it takes out resistance at 2.25, that opens the door to 2.50 and beyond…to spam infinity and beyond!
Now you can Twitter any questions/comments to TIMhelp and obviously you can follow TIM on twitter too!

LAUD is out of control! I’m getting out as quick as possible! Too scary…
In VEXP @ .65 heading for the moon
Out Vexp @ .85
In TGC @ 2.29 have room to run a bit
good good action in URRE
laud isn’t a ticker?
still waiting for DHI to shit the linoleum
just scalped the crap out of urre! profit $140, bought and sold in the same minute! (exactly 39 seconds apart)
took loss on laud. sell orders were not getting filled. no volume at first, now I see it moving up again. might try again.
Tim.. got your alert.. but did see the ticker?
laud isn’t a ticker
aaahhhh, that’s better housing stocks are headed back down. I told y’alls yesterday, short DHI, KBH, PHM now’s the time!
Still short HYHY and want to wait this one out, I feel when the dust settles we will see this thing around .1.30 or so where it was just about 20 days ago!
VEXP is still running- made my exit too early, but made a solid 1k in less than two minutes
oh boy. better than expected housing numbers…crocka shit! Like finding out you only have colon cancer, not pancreatic cancer like they thought
Imsmith got in VEXP thanks.
Fantom,
LAUD.OB
Shorting HIRE here at 17.60. Unconfirmed reports of higher buyout offer. Always short this type of news.
What you mean LAUD isn’t a ticker? I was just looking at it… LAUD : OTC BB Laud Resources Inc.
HGLC is the Hunt family is back at it? been fucking up the metals sector forever
short KRY from yesterday.
Financials are in play today. Looking to buy MBI on a break of 5.
TIMalert subscribers just banked on URRE, shorting anywhere from 4.50-4.60…now 4.15-4.20…i screwed it up breaking even, but i’m worst case scenario!
APWR will be down atleast 2 points by close. Energy and fertilizer are getting sold off heavy today.
I got too much streaming going on, yahoo is moving slow, I got laud now
KRY looks like it wants to run to 1.30 and breakout. Suspect FAKEOUT BREAKOUT
BQI; gapped open monday and closed down for that day. Just about even yesterday and today break below yesterdays low. Any thoughts?
Sniper6,
I went in kbh way too early, just went back in at 19.45
housing prices dropped pr got em rolling, but not for long. kbh and len report thursday and friday
Took URRE from $4.50 to $4.35 with decent position size. Thanks for being a squeezable morning short, Tim!
Brent, unless your watching the chart on BQI like a hawk, I wouldn’t be touching it. 3 minute chart is not healthy, It would have made a good short earlier, same for FPP and ROYL, but the 3 minute charts on them indicate too much risk vs reward right now, even for a quick scalp.just my thoughts…I haven’t done anything at all today yet…just watching fins and oils and looking for a play
Fantom,
I’m not worried at all, prices were at this level yesterday too. I am going in for more also. I can wait for these housing stocks to go down and will hold/add until they do
Short another 100 DHI @ $3.15 Total psition 500 short $12.80 - $13.15
FOMC meeting tomorrow. Find a financial stock and buy it preferably on a break out of resistance. MBI broke out perfect from 5. Should touch 6 by tomorrow which is resistance.
Vu thx; i have 5 minute real time. not 3. I almost SS at that HOD at 6.25 but chickend out. Dailies have it breaking ysterday low looking to take out the 6/20 Low of 5.73then it looks down to 5.37. just my thoughts still paper trading….
who r u people and why r u playing financials and housing? r u trying to get random results? r u trying to be part of the 90% of traders who lose $?
Any one got in on the Royal Short?? I got in late- but still up a good .30
quotes like “i’m not worried at all, i’ll wait until prices drop” are the surest path to disaster…when trading ALWAYS be worried that your pitiful attempt at analysis–there’s simply too many variables at work on 99% of possible trades–is wrong
Yes Keith…fake breakout…they are having a Conf call today. Could not sign on…i guess a fake just like the company. hehe
Same pattern from a year ago.
PLEASE tell me someone followed besides Keith and bought in on VEXP……. stock is moving……
Tim,
Connection with financials and housing is the FOMC meeting. The two sectors always run before the meeting like clockwork. There is a big correlation in activity. I’d short both sectors after the news. Of course the best play was the morning shorts in all the small cap oils with PDO being the most sought after short play.
also take profits, don’t get greedy
fuck the FOMC, u’re playing guessing games…nothing runs like clockwork all the time, the moment u think it does, t hats when u get slammed the worst
ok Tim I’ll help you with something more up your alley. Junkie whore SATC press release, turn the pump on!
I hope all you shorts on LBAS covered, some good news will follow todays news.
All oil plays good damn short…..including TGC which I went long on……but made nothing
GRO has broke past 7. Missed this one early. Could test 8+ by tomorrow which is recent 1 months high. I’d short it under 7 and maintain a long position as long as it stays above this number.
Agria Schedules Conference Call to Discuss 4Q07, FY07 and 1Q08 Financial Results.
Imsmith,
Have you watched Tim’s DVD? - just curious. I just seem to stress too much and fake myself out of trades- I wanted to short PDO yesterday around $44, got scared- shorted this morning at 36 and covered at 34- it was a profit, but I’m basically going on gut instincts and what I think are setups- if you haven’t learned your style from Tim, I’d like to know where- don’t know if I could ever buy a stock like VEXP at .65 after the huge run-up, but sure enough- it hit $1!
URRE done deal….short it back to $2
INSMITH
I missed the buy this morning on VEXP. Great profit in 2 mins though,great trade on your behalf. Im still hitting my head against the keybopard for not getting in and missing this one.Im tempted to get in but my gut tells me stay away for now.
Good job INSMITH.Good luck for the rest of the trading day to all.
ROYL dropping!
Applaud imsmith…too slow to respond..need more coffee. I am stocking stocks for now.
