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

I shorted this as it broke triple support at 42.15 on heavy volume this morning, a few hours before the Ackman "news" was released.

CEO Michael Johnson sounds like an angry man.
 
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

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
 
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
 
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 end of the quarter
 
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
 
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
 
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 other sellers will come out. I'm learning more and more on how to trade this situations
