"HurricaneUS Registered: Aug 2008 Posts: 491 01-11-13 11:53 AM Ackman's ass is toast. He's about to get wiped out because I feel the "mother" (Saddam Hussein parlance) of all short squeezes coming down the pike. This will be epic to watch."
'Mother of all Short Squeezes' Could Punish Ackman and Other Herbalife (HLF) Shorts If DA Davidson's analyst Timothy Ramey is correct then Bill Ackman could be in big trouble with his Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) short bet. Ramsey predicts the Mother of all Short Squeezes (MOASS) in the stock. We're talking Volkswagen here folks. The analyst notes a few things that could trigger the squeeze. First, he notes the stock is above the $42.50 mark, the price that shares were trading at prior to Mr. Ackman's December 20th presentation. Also, the likely events this week include a pre-release of Q4 earnings and a Dutch auction. On the pre-release, Ramey noted he spoke to with CFO John DeSimone about the pre-release last Thursday. Mr. DeSimone said he needed a little time to review the numbers, but his people had done the work already. If the company has "material non-public info (above and beyond the Q4 earnings)" in cannot proceed on its share repurchase. Given the fact that the Q4 earnings are "material" leads one to believe that HLF may exceed their own guidance, the analyst notes. "If we see the pre-release and another large share repurchase, up to and including the $950 million remaining under the authorization, we predict MOASS â Mother of all Short Squeezes," Ramsey states. New NYSE short interest data showed that Herbalife had the largest percent change in short interest - up 11,0777,272 shares to 37,298,384 shares, or 35.1% of float. The analyst reiterated his Buy rating and price target of $72, based 15.8x their 2013 estimate of $4.55.
Sounds like the analyst interviewed in that article was inspired by my post...literally took my post almost word for word in the article title
it is a nice try, since you are on the sidelines in the market just in the same way your remarks sidelined you on this thread. "This will be epic to watch." watching from the sidelines is your cup of tea.
Sounds like you lifted it from Barron's and or a dozen other sources, many days prior to your post. http://blogs.barrons.com/focusonfun...-of-all-short-squeezes-possible-analyst-says/ It's poor form to take credit for someone else's words. Next time try google before you brag about creating something.
I never read the barrons article...but it's also poor form to claim you're short Herbal Life when you and I know that you can't trade worth a shit as evidenced by your colossal Patak Combine meltdown where you were methodically disrobed and laid bare to reveal the frail pathetic pundit that you are..
"frail pathetic pundit " take a look in the mirror and you will be off to a good start each day. now, that you have been exposed as a plagiarizer is the word laughingstock insufficient to describe you?
What about the other DOZEN plus articles, all prior to your post that use the exact same language? Patak was an experiment and attempt getting info to write an article. . After being up $3500 in the first hour ( beating the combine $ goal for the 10 days), it became clear that I had no intention of winning and merely wanted the experience to write about. This was very evident from day one in my words and actions. surf
