Today, it&#8217;s up $14+ after getting taken over by Intel (INTC). Unfortunately, Citron put out a short report on it a few weeks ago, saying it was going to $35, and I got away from it. However, the MBLY action is teaching us a good lesson about shorting stocks. When a stock is still above the 8\/21 day moving averages in the face of a negative report, then it\u2019s showing strength. So even if we&#8217;re not getting long the stock, there&#8217;s no way we&#8217;re shorting it when it&#8217;s strong.
