lol at Icahn. This is the guy who never wants to disclose anything, refuses to answer questions constantly, is completely paranoid about getting front run now he wants the world to believe that he is really interested in "a going private" transaction with HLF. If that was really the case he would never have mentioned, he would just come out and make a tender. This is a 13G pump and dump
I'm on the einhorn camp that this stock is too hard to invest both long and short. I rather trade it opportunistically every once and a while. This morning sell-off was predictable but I didn't pull the trigger. Either Icahn is selling or the market is realizing that it is fishy to believe him and is taking profits/shorting, should have shorted that
If HLF goes down Icahn will buy more and pull the borrows, other institutions might do that as well(Icahn can get 25% just himself). This must create some kind of floor in the stock since it will force shorts to cover. I bought a small speculative long for a swing trade. Its risky, i'm betting the mother of all short squeezes story might start to get going. If it goes bellow $39 I will probably stop out Gunning for $41-$43
HLF takes off after I sell Tiny chance HLF might turn into MDBX or VW "super squeeze" but people might run with that idea in their heads
