Nice blowup today on Best Idea Short $ONEW. But this name should literally be down 40%+ on these horrible numbers. Stock has been a nice 50% gain short side. But Crime Dog wants more...

$CVGW USDA crackdown on Mexican avocado corruption significantly erroding import vols (region where $CVGW sources all product). S. America taking share at accelerating rate as customers (ie. $CMG, grocers) shift suppliers. $CVGW sales vol -13% MRQ. Current Q could be a disaster.

$PLUS Earnings on 8/5, expectations & stock disconnected from reality. Suppliers ($CSCO – 50% of product sales), competitors & customers all reporting sharp sales declines. Non-event PR today re a service they’ve been offering for 3 yrs is pumping stock; suggests mgmt is grasping

Only ONE Firm has a 'Short' on $HELE today... Those $140 price targets are going to have to come down by well over $100...Just sayin...

Congratulations to $HELE management for executing the worst timed stock repo I've ever seen. Buying $100mm in the quarter just shows how little they know about what's actually going on with their business. @HedgeyeRetailJM is this a ZERO?

$HELE elevated on Short list last month, and delivered a killer Black Book outlining why you want to short the name everyone thinks is so damn cheap (which it's not) last week. Stock could still be cut in half from here -- even on a big down move today.

Thanks to Spruce Point for making our $FND Short Call! The work we've done on this name is the best work we've done -- on ANY name -- EVER. @HedgeyeRetailJM @hedgeyeretailrw
