…but who knows, market prediction isn’t my game…

http://timothysykes.com/2008/03/24/i-had-a-rough-day-aka-no-playboy-centerfolds-for-me/ - a little information here about how he trades.

Early morning, reserved shares in 3 hard-to-borrow stocks, all multi-day runners, COIN, WSCI and REED.

I decided to read through all the old posts on TimothySykes.com, these are my notes:

Short sell hyped up pump and dumps when they go negative on the day right before the market close. Of course they have to be up enough first, otherwise we just stalk.

It took me long enough, but I finally came up with this link http://timothysykes.com/archives/ to see all his posts on his site.

I have changed my mind and I think that Timothy Sykes has a good system that is worth spending the time to try and learn.

I am currently going to all of this blog posts to try and learn what I can from them.

Notes:
The way I built my wealth so quickly was to wait for opportunities to present themselves–not try to will them into existence.

I don’t play biotechs—they’re too unpredictable for me—

Stock boards:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=10252

after reviewing all the stocks he talks about during 2007 in his blog, his short plays seem to be much more accurate long term than his long plays, not that he didn’t make money on the long plays, just that many of them seem to be at the very high of the market, where his short plays can continue dropping for months or years more.

When I do play an earnings mover, I never buy a stock the day after earnings, instead I like to see how the stock acts in the days afterwords because I think that gives everyone time to digest the numbers–kinda like not going swimming right after eating.

http://timothysykes.com/2007/10/31/this-fingerprint-sensor-maker-looks-promising/ -

many of the stocks that he thinks are a buy just fade down to nothing, maybe it’s not just the stocks he thinks are worthless, maybe it’s a large percentage of micro stocks that end up going to zero.

IDSY in 2007 recommended as a buy, was down from $25 to $12 now it’s trading at $3.50 it seems almost all the stocks he picks do this, it makes me wonder how many companies out there have done any good between 2007 and 2009, could you have just shorted anything and had it drop close to zero?  It’s starting to look like it.

I don’t care what kind of market we’re in, Friday afternoons are always scary for short sellers and thus, short squeezes are quite common and predictable.

Remember, my strategy is very very very very simple (short lower lows / breakdowns and buy higher highs / breakouts).

I need to do some research on hard to borrow stock brokers…

Nov, 2007

since shorting at the open is so dangerous

StockLemon does great research and really seems to have a following so you gotta respect their influence and short (if you can find shares). And you gotta laugh how easily a tiny newsletter like StockLemon can cut through all the BS of puffy articles like this and this from “respected media outlets” .

and even though it’s dangerous to short at the open, the danger isn’t as great when it’s a blue chip with massive liquidity like this one—

http://timothysykes.com/2007/12/10/7-big-losers-that-have-recently-become-big-winners/

Epro on think or swim for charts.

CEUA – not a true pump and dump.

When they are no more shares to short the promoters can buy a little more stock and squeeze the shorts, and create a break out.

Sometimes I buy a stock because the shorts are getting squeezed.

To get around the uptick rule, you can create your own uptick by buying 100 shares.

Never short a real company like Microsoft.

If a company pays stock promoters, you want to get the stock price up so you can sell in to the higher price.

TSTR when from .50 to $2, but it on the breakout from 2.00 to $2.50

http://stockreads.com/ - very good to track stock promotion.
KIRK is a real company, but you shorted it why? It was a technical short. Couldn’t stay above 11.60 goal for stops taken out the next day.

KIRK very little margin of error with a stock like this. Also the first down day on an up stock is a good day to short.

you have to only follow effective stock promoters, only look for them after the stock price has increased.

Look in the disclaimer of the research reports that are out for pumps.

CGCA was a good short, only went up 40%

CWEI is a crow, except that it is a real company. You don’t really want to short a company that sucks because they may get better.

If you short with toxic financing, then 90% of the time they go under.

Only traded 24000 shares, LLFH ? LFSH?

drpennystock.com

GWSC – can hold it short for a long time. This is the best pump and dump.

KIRK – was a good play, exactly what I wanted to happen, it wasn’t going to be a home run.

NVNC -  Came close to shorting yesterday, glad I held off.

Only use ib or think or swim for brokers, sogo but don’t have an account there.

GWSC = was a good short.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrOG6eI-Ezc – 3 day holiday market reversals.

ES was up 8 days then big down day the day before a 3 day holiday reversals.

Look for an up day on Monday, for the market to reverse and go right back up.

Look for the reversal 1 or 2 days before the holiday.

http://stockreads.com/ - this site gives you lots of information about penny stocks, it lists the current stocks being promoted and who the promoters are.

It also lists the top penny stocks and how many newsletters are talking about them.

It looks like they sign up for several penny stocks services and summarize all the results on their site.

This is what they say about their site:

What is StockReads.com?
We catalog the top penny stocks sent out by newsletters, and offer tools to browse the top penny stocks they pick. You can track all the most recent penny stock newsletters and find hot penny stocks. Find today's best penny stocks.

http://neboxian.blogspot.com/ - was searching for the three day holiday effect on the stock market and ran across this site by a trader, will have to read more when I have time.

I was going to ask my broker this question: What online broker will allow short selling of OTC/PINK stocks? I use TD Ameritrade and they won’t allow it.

To make this shorting penny stocks thing work, you really need to have accounts with multiple brokers so you can increase your chance of shorting a stock.

I also need to find out about options, what stocks have them?  I read about some type of option that will allow you to short a stock. So basically you pay a few dollars a day to own the stock but take no risk, you just own the stock, this allows you to short stocks that are not shortable.

It looks like you can check for options on yahoo

No, I am not a registered financial advisor and everything I say is for entertainment purposes only. Do not make any investments based on what you read on this website or anything that comes out of my mouth because I will not be held liable for your losses, screw ups, and mistakes because you will endure them if you are serious about learning to trade.
