    Dude, relax. It's probably some crappy clickbooth offer that someone's pushing. If it irks you that much, trademark your name and then go complain to google, yahoo search marketing, msn, and clickbooth.

    ***Three days earlier, on theStreet.com, Jim Cramer listed Bear Stearns common stock as a ``buy'' at $62. On his CNBC program that day, he showed his viewers a chart of Bear Stearns stock price and hollered, ``Bear Stearns is fine! Do not take your money out of Bear.'' Over that weekend -- days when the markets were closed and there was no material news about the company -- Bear Stearns was believed to be worth $2 a share, so long as the Federal Reserve assumed the downside risk of almost $30 billion of its mortgage securities...

    TheStreet.com quickly removed Cramer's March 11 ``buy'' recommendation from its page devoted to Bear Stearns. (The Cramer-obsessed Don Harrold's YouTube account of all this is priceless.) And Cramer went back on CNBC to explain that he never intended for anyone to go and actually BUY shares in Bear Stearns -- only that, if they happen to bank with Bear Stearns, they shouldn't worry about losing their money (a public service to all those ``Mad Money'' viewers who use Bear Stearns as a bank.)***

    BTW, There are a lot of good financial commentators out there too. David Baines, Herb Greenberg, Carol Remond, Gary Weiss, Sam Antar, David Milstead, the gals at ProxyLand and Footnoted.org, breakingviews.com, Dealbook.
  • timsykes · 1 year ago
    there are a handful of good commentators but thats like trying to find a penny stock thats real!
  • timsykes · 1 year ago
    dont short BPAX until it takes out the rally low, $4...everything else and odds favor a short squeeze higher
  • Dave · 1 year ago
    Are you shorting COT today?
  • Dan · 1 year ago
    But Tim people are getting rich off Ross Jardimes Stock Investing Tool Kit. They paid 199 and now make 50,000 every day. You can too.

    Lol this mother fucking guy has these ads going all day on CNBC. There so damn annoying. Problem is there are so many stupid fucking idiots that buy there morons shitty scams and he makes money off them. Thats crazy he bought your adwords those. You should get a lawyer.
  • Jonny · 1 year ago
    Tim,

    Did you see that Dykstra skit on HBO Real-Time sports? It's hillarious!
  • James · 1 year ago
    Amen, I'm glad you're exposing these frauds as they really are. Anyone who is not willing to post their gains/losses day in and out is full of it.

    But you know what? The people that fall for these scams deserve what they get, for not educating themselves and put in the long hours and hard work that is needed to be successful.
  • Fleeter · 1 year ago
    The Jardine link links to the infamous "Merl Stock-Picking Robot/Software" scam. A whole crap-load of scammers implementing all the adword real estate they can get.
  • Val · 1 year ago
    James -that's true, but most people that have a "regular" job and don't trade for a living don't have tons of time to research stocks, their time is pretty limited. It's really a shame that analysts & people on Wall Street that give out recommendations are liars & cheats & out to screw the little guy. I'd say the average investor has no idea that is how the game is played.
  • timsykes · 1 year ago
    damn missed another easy technical breakout OESX at $10.20-ish
  • Jason R. · 1 year ago
    Jonny, I seen the interview!...It is fu&%in hillarious!!!...How can anyone take that man serious, his brain is fried.
  • ken · 1 year ago
    OESX got help by Hilary Kramer when when pounded the table on NBR last night. Again.
  • Michael Goode · 1 year ago
    FYI, the adword thingy has been tested in court. Buying a competitor's name on adwords is legal as long as you don't use their trademarked name in the actual ad.

    If Tim loses a whole bunch of money in his trading I will go out and buy some adwords linked to his name and the ad will simply say "Tim Sykes got Owned." With the following link: http://timothysykes.justgotowned.com/

    I hope you'd do the same for me, Tim.
  • Intelinside · 1 year ago
    YTBLA is OTC BB stock and Ameritrade does not allow to sell it short. Anyone find anywhere else to short it?
  • vijai - moneyreallymatters.com · 1 year ago
    MELA has forming the shooting star with the resistance. Do you think its a good short for tomorrow?!
  • Andrew · 1 year ago
    solf is ripe for the plucking!
  • Andrew · 1 year ago

  • Andrew · 1 year ago
    after a spike
  • Gary · 1 year ago
    YTBLA...NOTHING ON E*TRADE
  • vijai - moneyreallymatters.com · 1 year ago
    YTBLV, I placed for long in Scottrade at 2;90 but its spiking up now.
  • timsykes · 1 year ago
    ya dont short ytbla isnt strength, wait for weakness, its a proven spiker, be scared how far it can go...almost tempted to buy it...nahhhhhhhhhh

    mela isnt up enough for me to care
  • yaktipper · 1 year ago
    Hasn't it been decided in court many times that celebrities own their name on the Internet. You could get the adword assigned to you if you pursued it, plus any money he made would be yours. Most wouldn't bother with the cost of the lawsuit, but it would make great blog posts here :)
  • Rslg · 1 year ago
    OESX was too hard to see the breakout ... no one can watch all 6000 stocks all the time ...
  • Jason R. · 1 year ago
    vijai, what are the green colored = and red colored = mean under Scottrades Last Ticks?...In the streaming quotes.
  • vijai - moneyreallymatters.com · 1 year ago
    Jason, are you talking about buy and sells in the intraday chart ? I am not clear hat you are asking..
  • Insider · 1 year ago
    An article on Marketwatch.com (see link below) states, "Arthur Weiss turns to four flat-panel computer monitors in his spacious San Francisco office. The screen on the far left shows a watch-list of troubled companies. He points to each name, running briskly down the page. "This one is bankrupt. So are these four," he says. "This one is filing for bankruptcy soon. This one may avoid it, this one probably won't."
    How can you find out what are companies that are going to file for bankruptcy? Anyone who shorted BSC must have got richer. Can we be rich like that?

  • Jason R. · 1 year ago
    vijai, yes the buy and sells of a stock in the streaming quotes...The + are buys and the - are sells...What does the red and green = (equals) symbolize?...Hope I am making sense.
  • vijai - moneyreallymatters.com · 1 year ago
    Jason, Are you talking chart patterns? Candle stick I suppose. I don't see + and -. But green means buyers are in control and red means seller where in control according to the type of day range you are looking..
  • manhack · 1 year ago
    NSTR is looking ready to breakout.Good action the last few days
  • Michael · 1 year ago
    Is CSUN a good short here?
    also, AKNS has strong resistance in high 8s
  • Raman · 1 year ago
    Tim, Im diggin the dont give a F*** vibe you've been puttin out. I worked the ol account up to 25K and will now be day trading. I was wondering something. When your account reaches 25K, which is will soon, is this site going to be more focused on day trading stock picks? Thanks, peace.
  • Raman · 1 year ago
    Yo Mike, just my opinion since Ive followed/traded solar frequently, but I would wait for either CSUN or AKNS to show weakness and close down before shorting. You might miss out a little on that initial drop day, but when solars drop, the'll maintain that trend for a bit.
  • silentmax · 1 year ago
    tim could we have like a countdown or at least marking the 25k with a celebration or something.


    whats so big deal with 25k? explain and also mark it with something special
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    ON that HBO show James Cramer said Lenny Dykstra is "one of the great ones" on Wall Street. He said there are only 4 people in the world that can mention a stock to him and he'll drive into it. And Lenny Dykstra is one of those 4 people.
  • ryan r · 1 year ago
    25k he can day trade without restriction, I'd like to see a dvd discount at 25k or maybe some cupcakes
  • bryan · 1 year ago
    This kind of information is valuable - similar to what you will find at www.dollarcamp.com
  • be-the-ball · 1 year ago
    Tim,

    That Minyanville article was meant as a joke. Guess you missed the humor in it.

    I enjoy your site but you couldn't carry Todd Harrison's jockstrap as a trader, writer or human being.

    I get dozens of excellent trade ideas from Minyanville daily and my daughter is part of Minyanville kids learning financial independence at a young age.

    Irony is your site and Minyanville have identical goals...
  • hoopsnerd · 1 year ago
    Tim! Yeah I told you about that Stock Trading Robot scam thing a while ago... thought it would be a good example of some of the BS out there. You can always tell a scam when they have a poorly made site you scroll down on with the offer at the bottom, just in case it isn't obvious to everyone.
  • Gus · 1 year ago
    Tim should give away 20 DVD free on his 25K celebration!
  • timsykes · 1 year ago
    LOL BTB, i met todd, he's a great guy and i love his writings, but i'm gonna blow him away in teaching others...as for a better human being, WTF kind of comment is that?

    i'm def gonna have some kind of 25k celebration
  • InvestorsLive.com · 1 year ago
    USU spiking watching for this short...
  • Gus · 1 year ago
    Somebody mentioned to short VVTV yesterday, it paid off. Shorted at $5.55 yesterday, covered 1/3 of my position at $5.25, still dropping :-)
  • timsykes · 1 year ago
    can't stop the agris, COIN chart becoming increasingly bullish, even if it sux
  • Gus · 1 year ago
    So, are you buying COIN?
  • InvestorsLive.com · 1 year ago
    USU fairly strong keeps competing with $6 - Just on watch into next week, this could see high 6's or 7's before it cools off..

    Tim agree on COIN that turned up pretty nicely,.... but could just be the sucker rally before it sinks again
  • Ju · 1 year ago
    USU, possible short?
  • InvestorsLive.com · 1 year ago
    Ju - that's what I have been watching I think its still too strong here at 6, watching for more of a breakout, its at the 100% gainer level but still to early to tell, $6.00 keeps coming back as support, tells me they want higher
  • timsykes · 1 year ago
    hello no, just watching COIN for possible further strength...

    no great trade setups, let USES do its thing, good fundamental news means its not a short....just yet
  • InvestorsLive.com · 1 year ago
    I did just short some USU but only for a quick 5 cent move not a penny stalking .50 to 1.00 move
  • Ju · 1 year ago
    I see.. I'm new to trading, thanks for the heads up. I really like TOS program but only negative thing is either i cant find the option or they dont have the option to look at the current day's chart.
  • Vijai - moneyreallymatters.com · 1 year ago
    YTBLV is going higher and gaining strength.. I am not sure where its headed to.
  • Max · 1 year ago
    ASTI and SOLF were good short plays this morning - will have to analyze them to see why I didn't notice...

    did anyone pick up on these as they happened?

    good 50+ cent moves off their highs from both
  • InvestorsLive.com · 1 year ago
    Max - If you hadn't been reading we were all over ASTI ... Tim short it above 16.. ended up covering very near the entry but it was a safer bet at the time.. read back a few post..
  • Safetyside · 1 year ago
    Woulda, coulda, shoulda, bought COIN when it dropped back to $11, thought about it but then could be fakeout, now it took off the second time.
  • mlgreen8753 · 3 months ago
    Yes, you have to be careful who you are taking advice from, especially financial advice. It gives me more to consider as I look into Mentor Capital (MNTR). They have a significant interest in a biotech company that is working on FDA clinical trials for an ingenious new breast cancer treatment that could have a positive effect on Mentor Capital stock once it makes it to market.
  • kjkramer · 3 months ago
    ross jardine is a scam for sure. no doubt about it
