  • 1) My broker says it's not possible to short sell penny stocks

    Your broker stinks! You can short ANY stock down to 1 penny/share as long as your broker can find shares to short, this is my gift and curse.

    I have made millions over the past decade and now my students have made millions over the past few years mainly shorting pump and dumps, but there aren't unlimited shares available to short hence why I'm a teacher and not a hedge fund manager...

    My strategy is ideal for those with accounts between $500 and $500,000, not for those with $50 million or $500 million, it's a poor man's strategy, but the good news is my best students profit upwards of $50,000 and $100,000 per year so there is still solid money to be made in this niche.

  • 2) If your strategy is so good, why do you teach and not just trade?

    As I explained above, my strategy does not work with $100 million or $1 billion which is what most hedge funds have because the companies are small so the profit opportunities range from $1,000 to $200,000... still good money to a lot of people, which is why I teach individuals. And thanks to the success of my TV show "Wall Street Warriors", I realized there was great demand from people who don't maximize their profits or continually lose trading penny stocks so the opportunity was great to correct all the misinformation out there and help teach people to profit more. Teaching is usually for those "who can't do," but in my case, I "can do" and my students reap the rewards by learning from a totally self-taught and self-made millionaire trader.

    My teaching business pulls in millions of dollars per year now with thousands of students in over 60 countries simply by my being honest about how I trade - both my successes and mistakes. I'm extremely fortunate to have found a business I love and that is honest, rewarding and fulfilling both for my students and myself.

  • 3) Aren't penny stocks dangerous?

    Yes, but over the past few years' even investments previously considered "Safe" like mutual funds have been discovered to be rather dangerous. Despite my making millions of dollars, I am nowhere near a great trader - as my longterm students will attest - and the key to my protecting my account is that I cut losses EXTREMELY quick if I'm ever caught with a stock heading in the wrong direction.

    Also, when you have a small account, you need to take more risks in order to be able to grow your nest egg exponentially to make it worth your time even investing/trading in the stock market. I know too many "safe" investors who spend countless hours researching and debating and yet their yearly profits are less than that of a part-time Starbucks barista aka not worth the time!

  • 4) What kind of teacher is Timothy Sykes?

    A busy one. Because of my personal trading success and the success of my thousands of students around the world, I receive upwards of 2,000 emails/day. I try to respond to all of them, but my now 2,100+ video lessons and over one dozen instructional DVD guides answer most questions so please use the educational products I've worked to create to your advantage. The chart patterns and trading setups on which I profit happen time and again, it's up to you to be prepared to profit from them... let me be the teacher for you that I never had but always wished I'd had (Despite the millions of dollars I've made, I've lost hundreds of thousands of dollars on boneheaded mistakes and missed opportunities... mistakes I can help you avoid and opportunities I can help you take advantage of!)

  • 5) Which plan should I choose?

    My most popular plan is my PennyStocking Silver plan as you receive access to not only my chatroom, daily watchlists and real-time trading alerts, but you also receive daily video watchlists, access to my 6,000+ video lesson library and new video lessons weekly!

    TIMalerts still provides a great bang for the buck with daily watchlists, chatroom access and real-time trading alerts. The TIM Trading Challenge is something you'll have to apply for...

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 .
