You don't need news for a short squeeze. Its a function of share Supply and demand.

This can go a lot higher than anyone thinks ... You know how hard it is to cover over 20 million shares with other people buying?

Say hello to my little friend 45 ... 65 coming soon ... staying long and strong. 32 Million shares to be covered still!

HLF is next ... thanks TSLA for showing us what is possible!

Moves up on air ... Very low float left ... long and strong! You can see on level 2 .. offers clear out of the way with small buys.

Its definitely not retail traders. Its a hedge fund. Its either Ackman or Icahn most likely. Icahn could buy the options first not to run up the stock .. and then convert them like he did before.

IEP raising 1 Billion in cash ... I wonder why ... lol ... could be either buying more HLF stock in open market or taking private.

Why do you think he is raising cash? Hmmmmm .... lol ... I think the hedge funds know. This seems to be institutional buying.

Either Ackman covering or Icahn buying ... This is not retail ... thoughts?

I am actually one of those guys shuffling some over this way .. haha ... I had too much HLF

I agree ... it could go much higher than 25 though. I have a tool on interactive brokers where I can track short availability every half hour. They have covered VERY little of the over six million short. I would estimate maybe about 100 to 150K of it only. Its a good sign that they started though because on stocks like HLF the shorts have been more stubborn.

Why is CNBC and Herb G trying to manipulate HLF downward?
by certainprft •Apr 9, 2013 2:07 PMHe is trying to defend his bearish story ... He is consistently negative and looking for dirt ... He should do fair reporting but we don't get that from him ...

I say $45 will start making the shorts nervous.

Shorts are getting in trouble-------low volume, less than 1 million shares
by doctorofinvestor •Mar 27, 2013 10:00 PMshorts need volume and dilution ... This is drying up ... It's only day traders and ackman and long term holders ... Sellers got scared out or bored with it already ... This must be part of the Icahn plan

I know ... but its all public perception.

That is great and all ... but this stock is tied to whether he wins in the Herbalife battle or not ...
-
I am getting a little impatient too ... lol ... but I keep seeing signs that its closer. At least now would be a great time for him to do now that the volume is low and all the weak hands are out. Doesn't make sense why he would let Ackman cover here ....

I think Ackman is covering some. Its typical for a big short to drive it down quickly then cover. The way its trading is typical of a big short taking some off the table.
