13 Stocks To Short: “Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes”
For you idiots out there–don’t be shy–that was the command given at the Battle of Bunker Hill, meant to get the patriots not to fire their weapons until the enemy was right up close to preserve their minimal ammo.
It’s incredibly applicable to these 13 stocks because as a short seller, you have tons of choices, but you must only open fire when your enemy–the stocks–are worth being shorted–that being into weakness, to give you the best chance at hitting them square in the chest and taking them down!
So far I’ve only seen the whites of the eyes on REED’s longs and that’s why I’ve been firing my short selling musket as if I were a patriot.

To all reading this great example of how not to write an article, please join me in going LONG on COT.
I’m working on building a 100k share position in this company AKA if you short this company you will get burned in the next few days. If you don’t believe thats fine - we’ll chat on Friday…

Tim,
Luna is at around 7.4 right now?
What do you think about short selling if it crosses 7.6? I have been closely watching it for a while and it fluctuates a lot between 6.5 an 7.5.
Please give me your opinion?
