Groupon Short trade

After the dismal Groupon earnings at the end of February, the stocks touched $4.25.  Since then, the CEO was fired and the stock appreciated to over $5 and currently trades at $5.28.  I've always felt that the business model is very difficult to make money and don't see much traction.  I think in a few years this will be a company that people will recall was almost bought for $6 Billion, IPOed at $20 Billion, and then went under.

  2. I don't want to get greedy with HLF. I doubt I add too it. The moment I add, it could pop 6 points against me. I'm content with current size where I can handle a large move against.

  3. I would say GRPN over 5 is a short and worth an add. It will go back to 4.25. Needs to reach touch
