Update on trading like Tim Sykes: $132,000 in total profits

As you should know, I first started following Tim Sykes back in May 2008. Since that time I have bought many of his DVDs (and I heartily recommend Pennystocking Part Deux and TimFundamentals Part Deux). Below is an updated chart of my performance. As you may notice, I have become more consistent since August of 2009. Large trades with large profits, like the $7,000 I made on ECOB, continue to constitute a bulk of my total profits. While I have scalped some of Tim Sykes’ trades he alerts, I have lost money doing that in 2010. For 2010, I have made $14,291.69 on my own trades (weighted average profit of 1.46%) and $9,128.46 when following a TimAlert (weighted average profit of 1.78%). Of course, most of the time I have traded based on TimAlerts I was already watching the stock and looking to trade it anyway (such as my recent trades on ZANE).
