My Latest AOL Finance Article: True Religion Apparel, Inc. (TRLG)

Posted by timothysykes on Tue 27th of May, 2008 11:51:17 AM

I’m a short seller so I’m lookin’ and lookin’ for stuff to short and other than KYUS, which had no shares available…anywhere…today at least, all I seem to find lately are perfect breakout plays of real companies! Charts like Third Wave Technologies, Inc. (TWTI), which I mentioned in this morning’s post, and now True Religion Apparel, Inc. (TRLG), which I just detailed in THIS AOL Finance post.

While neither are right for PennyStocking or any short term trading for me, they both have a lot going for them and probly wouldn’t make such bad investments. (Uhhhh I can’t believe I just used the word “investents”. I feel dirty. Blehhhh.) But seriously TWTI is a pure play for testing HPV, an STD that’s infected 20 million Americans and 6 million new ones each year. Good business to be in, even if their losses are substantial…especially if it can truly confirm this breakout by cracking its 2001 $11 IPO price…

And TRLG well, read that AOL article, this could be a fakeout–as the stock has been known to spike then retreat–but the variables are aligned for a substantial short squeeze…

Who knows, this ain’t my game, I have the dark gift–everything I write about turns to sh#@–but maybe just maybe, considering these stocks are breaking out in a pretty tough market environment, they have the willpower to push forward. Time will tell, coudln’t hurt–too much–to tell you guys about ‘em.

  • Nodin
    IB sucks....I've been trying to short for an hour and nothing....and its only a tiny...300 shares order...crap...are you guys holding overnight??
  • Fantom
    VVUS is still riding the news wave. It'll dip again.
  • JeffMoates
    TDA has plenty of FPP shares to short, re-shorted 4700 at 5.22ish. Webster, you thinking about holding overnight?
  • Webster
    Learned a trick. In the morning at 8:00am est I put in multiple orders at a higher price than what I will buy for. That way I have 2 or 3 open order throughout the day that I can pull the trigger on and just lower my buy price. So I am still sitting on some FPP open orders right now.
  • Nodin
    Webster: how the hell did you find FPP shares to short right now? what are you using?
  • Webster
    Okay back in I reshorted 1000 shares of FPP at 5.27
  • congrats webster and jmoates, much easier on me when the students become the masters :)
  • Bob (VC)

  • BradTyler
    Looks like a short op might be building on XRIT??
  • codyhof
    QTWW may have already had its run-up but it could potentially keep going.
    Alot of chatter on this one.
  • Anyway, anonymous got it wrong. It is "fr1st p0st".

    Re: TRLG, I doubt many of us are their customers. But some people like that expensive junk.

  • Tdrag

  • Fantom
    TRLG no room to get squeeze.

    I'm not covering on VVUS just yet, I think its going to dip to 5-ish tomorrow. I'm holding.
  • Bob (VC)
