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.

    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.
  • Tdrag
    Wow Fantom.. down to the 5ish huh.. any comment on reason.. just wondering.
  • be-the-ball

    Natalie Portman could have a tattoo of Tim on her ass and I would still be all over it like white on rice
  • dlee
    i'd go for megan fox then i guess
  • 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.
  • codyhof
    QTWW may have already had its run-up but it could potentially keep going.
    Alot of chatter on this one.
  • BradTyler
    Looks like a short op might be building on XRIT??
  • AJF-ESQ

  • JeffMoates
    holding 5000 shares short of FPP. This is gonna be a 2K day!
  • Webster
    If we can get FPP to crack 5 we should be in good shape.
  • GabeC
    Ya Jeff, damn i shoulda just hold overnight, I just saw some resistance and got scared. ack.
  • GabeC
    hmm. maybe ill still do that.. heh lets see how it plays out, doubt i can get any more shares to borrow though.
  • JeffMoates
    Nice call on it though Gabe. I saw it progressing towards this drop this afternoon, just bouncing on that 5.45 mark.
  • FPP nice afternoon breakdown
  • JeffMoates
    Covered early at 5.01 for a .50 gain on the day.
  • Alex
    SCON breaking down
  • Alex
    BCON inching up..possible breakout
  • GabeC
    Bought SPF 3.30, covered 3.43. Either I'm getting better at this or this is just my lucky day.
  • Webster
    Covered FPP at 4.85 from 5.61 $904 profit!
  • JeffMoates
    FYI Tim, because of your strategy I am up 48% ($19,821 to $29,338.24) in my account from April 29 to now. Thanks.
  • Webster
    Even better Jeff you are over the 25k BS!
  • Joey
    PEIX short since 4.24; will hold it, looks very weak
  • Webster
    Thinking about reshorting FPP on this bounce
  • eb
    Jeff....congrats on your success!
  • Tdrag
    Anyone looking at PEIX
  • Bob (VC)
    What's with the FPP bounce? a late afternoon fakeout?
  • congrats webster and jmoates, much easier on me when the students become the masters :)
  • Webster
    Okay back in I reshorted 1000 shares of FPP at 5.27
  • Nodin
    Webster: how the hell did you find FPP shares to short right now? what are you using?
  • 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.
  • JeffMoates
    TDA has plenty of FPP shares to short, re-shorted 4700 at 5.22ish. Webster, you thinking about holding overnight?
  • Fantom
    VVUS is still riding the news wave. It'll dip again.
  • 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??
  • VVUS to $5? too funny dude, u might get $6.50 or even ^, other than that have fun holding, risking further squeezes for weeks/months
  • Wow I missed this post... and trlg broke out nice today, I'll keep on watching them. This fad will fall hard.
