This MLM stock can only do so much to keep shorts at bay, it's done everything legally possible to get rid of shorts, they even squeezed Ackmans` $1 Billion short position at the top. The stock is over extended and there isn't much more HLF can do to manipulate the stock higher, they've already done buybacks, now a Dutch auction, Icahn is loaded up on HLF owning over 30% of the company, which he will most likely be unloading soon after the auction.
M top on the daily timeframe, Weekly indicators topping, overall market getting more volatile and this stock is the the biggest fugazi out their besides LFIN.
Ackman wasn't wrong, just his timeframe was off, along with Icahn and HLF being able to easily manipulate this low liquidity/ market cap stock . The manipulation can only last so long though, a fair valuation of this stock is in the $30-$0 range.
Full disclosure- I'm short otm puts.
