Wednesday Morning - HLF

Gator's Chart of the Day: HLF
Herbalife has bounced more than 14 points (58%) since Bill Ackman, with an assist from CNBC, announced he had a short position and suggested it could go to zero.  It didn't fall that far but it did move down over 20 points.  I don't know if he has covered yet but I hope he hasn't.

This stock looks like it has more upside but it is so news driven here that it's very risky.  If I had a position I would be keeping a trailing stop on most (maybe all) and using the previous day low to adjust it daily.
