Entry comments: Today's big winner is holding the low 3s well, already hit the 3.70s this morning, goal is to sell around there later today or next week, afternoon dip buy now that support has held, stock already at 3.25 as I type this so I think others are thinking the same way

Exit comments: Afterhours offering, congrats to shorts, I went for late day squeeze and failed so now cutting losses to protect myself, rule #1, video lesson still coming this weekend, please do watch it!

Wow, Tim this was the first play that I actually was able to call how you were going to play it b4, you entered. Things are starting to click, thanks for all you do. I'm hoping this thing spikes because it is up on earnings momentum, however, morning dip buying does seem to be the more common play in this market. Good luck for that morning spike!

call me a bag holder. Followed the lead but unable to sell in after hours. See what happens monday I guess. Haven't had much luck with Sykes picks lately.

@rywin Don't follow his picks, put more emphasis on his style and use it for yourself.

@FreddydaFish If his style works then so should his picks. I signed up last week and just cancelled subscription today. Worst week I've ever had.

@rywin You must have read his alerts incorrectly then...

@rywin Same here.... can´t do anything after hours, thus have to wait till Monday and hope there won´t be morning panic...

You guys unable to trade after-hours need a better broker. Tim addresses this topic many times in his lessons and there's even a link in his watchlist every day on which brokers are recommended. Robinhood's commission-free trades has a price like being stuck holding the bag overnight.

I made a big mistake here. I watched Tim's DVD's and studying as much of his materials as possible (don't have access to video lessons because I wasn't accepted into the TimsTradingChallenge).

I had also signed up for Tim Alerts. My mistake (as stated above) was that I became reckless. I got Tim's alert about PULM and took a quick 5 minute look at the chart and a brief look at the news and bought 2,000 shares. After it closed it plummeted after hours before I had the chance to get out (still can't get out). I'm hoping for a nice morning spike on Monday to help relieve some of the pain. But if I get hit hard and take a fat loss, I take full responsibility, and I'll turn this big mistak

big mistake into a big lesson* (no more trading at work).

You are correct ace, but many markets do not allow after hours trading. Also, the ones that do, still have an after-hours closing time :)

goes to show it can happen to anyone who forgets to NOT trust these stocks - Get in take reasonable profits and get the hell out. Stay flat and wait for the next opportunity. Holding is always dangerous, they cant hurt you if you are out.

The best thing we can do is learn from Tim, even though it is a loss, it is still a lesson to pound the principles that he teaches into our heads. We must learn to not let these trades happen to us as we have all made this mistake over and over. Thanks for being transparent Tim..

I also had a decent sized position long from 3.12 average, and had planned on weekend hold. Sold right when offering news hit, and no more than five seconds later saw your order go through (at least I was pretty sure it was yours). All about rule #1. Glad I got out just before you, or would have been several grand worse!!!

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNED SO FAR FROM timothysykes, IN OTHER WORDS, I THINK THIS IS WHAT HE TELLS EVERYBODY AND ITS TO GO FFF OUR SELF TILL WE CHANGE OUR MINDSET BY THE WAY (FFF) STANDS FOR "FOCUS ON YOUR FIGHT TOWARDS YOUR FREEDOM"

This trade isn't even that serious, he took a .20 loss, if you can't risk .20 in trading, you shouldn't be trading. Saying that, I've seen Tim do this pattern 100s of times & succeed, just look at his trade history, it works. Former runners that tend to spike after the first green day usually spike again. But he didn't think about how often this company does financings & got caught in one. It happens.

And some of you guys just following alerts really do need to unsubscribe & take your money to Vegas. You have no business trading & need to quit. He says a million times, "Don't follow my alerts!" There's a reason for that. No one has ever made millions daytrading following alerts. Imagine Grittani or Goode sitting on Steve Harvey when he ask sthem how they did it & they say, "Iono I just buy whatever Tim buys, I have no clue what I'm doing." Great strategy. Study or quit.

@Ace_Dx Yes, I know, specially since the biggest gains seem to be premarket. Unfortunately, with the regulations in the country I currently am, I can have only 3 brokers to trade and two of them are out of the question at the moment.... so my bad. I still hope it will spike premarket, it looked a great option when I entered the trade but I would have sold if I could when started crashing....Hard lesson and one for sure I wont forget...

@dux No one can predict offering. But you said PULM was toast Friday afternoon ... Nice call .. You might as well predicted it .. Think it will continue to drop .. I'm not touching

@dux actually 11:47 :) it's gone .. But you had to adapt since then

Bought tons of shares of PULM at 3.25 on Friday after your alert. Was feeling pretty down but had a gut feeling. Just sold at 3.70 this morning after huge spike back up. Thanks Tim!
