Enphase (ENPH) Bad Timing and (Probably) a Bogus Short Report. But Not Buying Back
Yesterday we decided to sell Enphase (ENPH) due to lackluster performance over the last month. Unfortunately, the timing of this decision coincided with a shoddy short report that pummeled the stock, sending it down over 25% yesterday.
To be 1,000% clear … our sell notice was NOT because I believe the short report to be valid.
Since that report was released analysts that follow ENPH have come out in defense of the stock. Now you can argue that investment banks are incentivized to defend stocks because of established relationships, etc. But the same holds for short sellers that short the stock then publish a short report to help drive it down.
We have no hidden agenda. We don’t own it. We’re not shorting it. We just want subscribers like you to profit!
Accordingly, I’m flagging ENPH as a potentially attractive stock right now as a rebound is likely in the coming weeks. Shares are up 15% in early trading today.
Are we adding it back to our portfolio? No. I’m not going that far. I know some subscribers sold it, and some still own it. Under the circumstances it wouldn’t be right to try and get too cute here. Unfortunately, we had poor timing and that’s just the way it played out.
This message is more of a “heads up” that this stock is likely to move in the weeks ahead. What you do with this information is up to you.
