    No joke from Sykes’ site:
    “Name any US stock and I’ll do a full analysis-technical, fundamental and everything else—for $20/ticker, for entertainment purposes only of course (happy you SEC bastards!?!?!), let’s see how this goes”

    “This is three months of hard work baby and its really brought me back to my pyramid-building days.”
    Timmay, are you comparing yourself to a pyramid scheme? If so, its your best call to date.

    NSD, how is it a pyramid scheme to detail all my trades and stock picks openly? Was I scheming when, before the open, I said to short VM at $4? I was referring to my days building the pyramids in Egypt. Keep it up knuckleheads, all you do is motivate me more to bring greater transparency down on you untalented drones!

    I think Dealbreaker needs to set up a fund to get Timmy the surgery to get one of his ribs removed. The added flexibility will finally allow this nice Jewish boy to make love with someone who thinks as highly of him as he does, and he’ll be happy and gone from our minds forever. Everyone wins.

    “my days building the pyramids in Egypt”
    That caught my attention! Does Mr. Sykes channel Shirley MacLaine?
    Does his website also offer to guide past life explorations in addition to investment advice?

    Timaay… Cramer is a hack, but at least he made a lot of coin before he blew up. You, unfortunately, are a hack with-out capital. I interviewed kids for our MBA associate program like you, and I sent them out on a rail.
    The only entrepreneurs who do well in finance are those that can raise capital. As you famously said on TV, “I just got a hundred million dollars!!!” Or not. As you have no capital, but truley believe yourself to be smarter than the average bear, you desperately need to pull a Ron Popeil and invent some useless shite that mid-America thinks it needs but can’t afford, so you sell it for six montly payments of $19.95 on infomercials. Your useless technical trading/micro-cap manipulation strategies would fit well.
    In closing, grow up Timmay. Sucking off that Mojo producer gave you your 15 minutes, now go meet your destiny behind a sales desk at a used car lot.

    Timothy, the problem people have with your trading strategy isn’t whether or not it works, it’s the moral hazard associated with the pump and dump schemes you use to dupe the unwitting participants. You have yet to reconcile this in any way, and I, for one, would love to see you try. Congratulations on taking my grandmother’s money.

    1. For what I’m trying to do, assets don’t matter–I’m gonna help the poorest investors/traders learn to not lose they normally. You forget 90% of traders lose, thats a big ass market
    2. Of course I haven’t made more than a few million–I hate leverage and I’m only 27, patience grasshopper
    3. I don’t give a shit about my name or myself–it’s called branding. Also, it’s not arrogance, it’s experience–I’ve seen pretty much all there is to see in the microcap market, I feel qualified to teach
    4. Morals in microcaps? C’mon, read my blog, this is the shadiest market niche around, the good news is manipulation is predictable–its the gift that makes it so unique

    Tim,
    The above photo is for yourself… its the best example of your advice I could find…
    It is why your going to be you… and the market is going to be the market… And they two will not interface very much going forward…
    If you don’t realize what is missing… you … Sir… Never Will…

    man, all i wanna do is teach people who don’t understand how penny stock work / are losing money because of it the rules to the game, as i see them. i’ve had my ups and downs and now feel qualified to preach a rather conservative trading strategy that i believe is ideal for smaller investors. my calls are getting better (VM short at $4 on friday alone) and my site’s popularity is taking off because of it. u guys can say whatever the fuck u want, i’m just gonna keep doing my thing and let my numbers speak for theselves
