Giving TimAlerts another shot

Ok.. even though Tim never responded to my initial review.. I don’t hold it against him… Christ.. how can I? The guy has done unbelievably well.. now up over 355 % and is making a killing online in blog revenue.

That said, a lot has changed since that last review.. most notably, I have decided to return to Tim’s TimAlert service to see how well I (he) can do. I will make sure I post my successes and failure here.

I’ve also easily found out how to short ‘hard to borrow’ stocks using ThinkOrSwim software which is what I currently use. Its’ as simply as opening up a chat window ‘support request’ and asking to reserve them! I’ve asked about fees.. and they said that some are free, and some charge anywhere from 2% to 15% depending on how hard they are to find.

As I sit here waiting for my login to be re-enabled, I’m looking forward to reserving shares tomorrow and perhaps getting started… but we’ll see how it goes :-)

    I signed up for TimAlerts.com a month ago and I miss about half or 2/3 of his trades, but my account is up about 12% in one month, so I can't complain about that. If I wouldn't make so many beginner mistakes or had a better broker I would have made a lot more.

      Yeah I haven’t traded much lately.. but he’s been doing quite well.. the only problem I have is with the entry prices.. as soon as I get an alert.. I end up missing his entry sometimes by quite a bit.

      12% is great for you! Especially in a month.. which broker do you use?
