OCTO’s Not Alone – More +1,000% Runners Thumbnail

Hey! Tim Sykes here,

The market is SO hot right now.

  • On Monday, Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OCTO) spiked 5,600%*!
  • On Tuesday, another low priced stock spiked 2,500%*. And it started during premarket hours, just like OCTO …

There’s no time waste and there’s no excuse for missing out.

I’ve heard them all:

  • “I have too small of an account.”
  • “I don’t have time during the day”
  • “There isn’t a process to follow.”

These aren’t real excuses …

They’re things that traders tell themselves to feel better about missing these plays.

I’m here to tell you:

Me, my millionaire students, and the students on their way toward the $1 million milestone … We’ve all missed plays.

For example, I missed multiple setups on both of the +1,000%* spikers this week.

It’s OK to miss out.

But I’m not going to give up because I missed a few setups. And you shouldn’t either.

Here are my answers to your excuses:

  • Small-account traders:
    • Start small (these stocks are cheap) or paper trade from the sidelines.
  • Traders who are low on time:
    • Sign up for extended hours trading with your broker and study chart patterns while the market is closed.
  • Traders without a process:
    • Keep reading … There is a process for gains in the market. And I can show you.

There are new insane stock spikes every day in this 2025 market.

Stop missing out.

My Process For Gains

© Millionaire Media, LLC

OCTO spiked 5,600%*.

From the massive percent gain available … I pulled 28%.

You don’t have to be perfect to find massive setups from these stocks.

Remember that Wall Street is ecstatic to make 20% on the year.

Excuse me for laughing, but my millionaire students and I can make that much in a single morning.

Then we rinse and repeat on the next day’s biggest stock spikes.

Over, and over, and over again.

These volatile stocks like to follow the same repeating patterns because people are predictable during times of high stress.

The patterns we saw on Monday from OCTO, they’re the same patterns we saw on Tuesday’s 2,500%* runner: CaliberCos Inc. (NASDAQ: CWD).

And the 1,800%* spike from QMMM Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: QMMM) the same day.

And the 280%* spike from CDT Environmental Technology Investment Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: CDTG), also on Tuesday.

Look at my posts below:

We’re seeing insane runners every day right now.

I had to hold an emergency livestream after Monday’s move on OCTO to ensure that traders were prepared for the next one.

Don’t waste any more time, watch my emergency Supernova briefing below:

No Excuse To Miss These Plays

Some of these stocks eventually reach triple digit price tags …

But they all start as cheap penny stocks. Which means we don’t need a lot of money to trade them.

In fact, these setups are perfect for small-account traders.

  • The shares are cheap.
  • The percent gain is massive.

Also, we’re seeing these moves all day long.

The market is open from 4 A.M. to 8 P.M. Eastern. There are opportunities even if you work a day job.

Make sure that you’re cleared with your broker to trade every available time frame:

  • Premarket hours.
  • Regular hours.
  • Aftermarket hours.

Usually there’s a simple form to sign that establishes your acknowledgment of extended-hours trading.

Lastly, make sure that you follow my process.

Traders are lost without a plan!

And I’ve traded with the same patterns for over two decades.

They’re the same patterns that my millionaire students use to trade. Including Jack Kellogg, who’s turned $7,500 into $20.5 million since 2017.

This price action is not random.

And we don’t have to trade it perfectly.

Follow the same process as all my millionaire students.

And get ready for the next insane runner.

 

Cheers

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
