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

Watch these 7 free video lessons on how I became a millionaire

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.

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

    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.
