Your prediction of NFLX was dead wrong though... see how that works lol. It's up 24% since you asked this and that's with the recent sell-off. You are now saying in 2-3 months it will be below $115, but when you made this thread NFLX was $98.

The sell-off in the broad market benefits NFLX and GOOGL. To see NFLX below 98, you have to wait longer (~ 1 year)

Yep because your thoughts on shorting NFLX at $98 were spot on... Well if losing 24% was your goal. Now you are predicting one year out lol.

One of the best short opportunities I have ever seen is

Sears - SHLD

They should already be bankrupt and have resorted to Enron style gimmicks to keep the company afloat.

Only other one I can remember that was so obviously a short was GM - General Motors back in 2007. And unfortunately I didn't do it.

My short picks always include SHLD.

A few others -- nothing technical about these other than wishful thinking that they go down hard.

• CROX hate plastic shoes
• ANGI no reason - just hate Angie's List
• CMG hate Chipotle, can't believe it's currently 723
• AXP Amex will feel the Costco diss for some time

I am sorry to say, but you are dead wrong on CMG.

Have you been to Chipotle to eat. You need to wait at least 10 to 15 minutes before you can order your food. I am talking in every CMG store you go, it's same story. From NYC to NJ. I remember seeing CMG in 300's back in 2012, people used to say. MCD is going to take over. Three years passed and nothing happened. CMG is still strong.
