Unless Ackman finds a way to get regulatory agencies on his side or some kind of massive lawsuit I don't like the short (other than a quick trade)

http://www.businessinsider.com/bill-ackman-short-herbalife-2012-12 I have no intention of holding HLF short for the long-run. Pyramid schemes are a bitch to short. I was short PPD a few years back, similar thesis to HLF it seems, most people make no money yet that did not prevent them from...

Shorting AAMRQ, this might break the momemtum

Covered HLF. Predictable IMO

Covered half of HLF. Stock should pop as Ackman speech gets close to the end

ISRG under $500, underestimated my own thesis. people liquidating like crazy

Covered ISRG, kept small position for the long run

Either she is extremely lucky or she is running a ponzi scheme

A problem that I can see with this trade is that it's obvious by now that the bush cuts will be extended for people with incomes between $400K and $1M as they meet in the middle in order to reach an agreement. The market might see through the acting and bluffing...

Potential trade here? From a game theory perspective Boehner schooled Obama last year by looking crazy as possible and being willing to go over fiscal cliff, that lead to the Democrats to agree with whatever he wanted and get a deal done. Obama learned from that and this year he is playing...

I like Ackman, he is a smart man. I bet he has dug tons of stuff on the company that Einhorn didn't. He has been researching it for 1 year, I think this will be more than just the ponzi allegation. If it just was just pyramid stuff he would have shorted and announced sooner

It' the hottest new business model right now, short the stock put a negative report and cover into weakness A lot of the times it pays to buy along with the short seller into the squeeze but sometimes you want to short even though he is covering because the news will be just too shocking and...

I'm keeping some HLF short for the ackman thesis tomorrow but its quite uncertain here, stock is down a lot and ackman is covering some of his shorts(I think) along with whoever he leaked his report to

Decreased my short on HLF. Now at half of initial short. I don't like the front running that happened and this uptick into the close. Seems that there were a lot of shorts before this news

It looks to me that Ackman shorted the shit out of HLF in the days leading up to today(stock underperformed quite a bit) and bought puts. They are probably covering some into the decline Could be related to the decline in JCP and returns at Pershing being weak and he needing a bang before the...

I believe Ackman will put his report out on HLF tomorrow, can anyone confirm?I was dealing with some much stuff I didn't listened to CNBC carefully

I bet stocks which the CEO utter the words "shorts" or "short sellers" significantly underperform the market. This guy sound like someone trying to protect his stock and options so he can sell

Its funny I hesitate like hell to enter longs on headlines but have no problem doing shorts with little or no hesitation. Guess I'm just a pessimist I got to work on my long side cuz there are a lot of opportunities I'm missing

Back at shorting, I should have bought a long position. Could have made a killing there, that tweet saved me good money

Covered after this tweet Brian Sullivan @SullyCNBC BREAKING: $HLF CEO calling into CNBC right now to refute Ackman's claims .. tune in .. like right now Tweetdeck is a must for anyone trading headlines
