When one has a following it's easy to pick a company on the rise and say buy in at 1 and hold until 5 and sell. I mean it's called pump and dump. It's like they are calling the shots here and one can come in and out when they please.
For example CYDY was on Tim Sykes list of stocks I believe last year. It went up to a dollar plus because his chat room people bought it and then few days later they shorted it down.
I don't have the time to look into this guy but it would be interesting to see what the trend of his picks is after he withdraws his investments. If they sink down, then bam he is probably shorting it post hype.
