$MNK Rallies After Citron’s CNBC Interview

Let’s kill all price gougers. That’s pretty much the short thesis for gunning after these drug companies. Aside from medicine, humans need clothes to survive too, no?

How about we build a short thesis on JWN; because Nordstrom is fucking price gouging like a motherfucker. Do you know who else is price gouging?

EVERY FUCKING COMPANY ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET.

I believe MSFT has gross margins of 97%. That’s pretty rich.

Ever been to a TIF or a DKS? Some of those prices, I gotta say, are fucking high.

Let’s not even get into the restaurants. As a member of your planet and person who needs sustenance to survive, I take exception, mind you, to the prices of burritos at CMG and hamburgers at SHAK and motherfucking coffee at SBUX.

God damn it; why can’t everything be on the MCD dollar menu?

My son is in college now. And, I must admit, I am growing somewhat suspicious of the prices of his books. I find myself spending upwards of $1k per semester for text books and I find myself awfully suspcious of PRICE GOUGING at his college.

I’ll be keeping an eye on them.

Do any of you own NYC or San Fran real estate?

(flails cane wildly in the air, screaming “price gougers”)

This is wholly and utterly ridiculous.

MNK’s shares have spiked around 8 points since this interview.

NOTE: Left said his short in VRX is “significantly scaled down” and had several positive things to say about its CEO. Does anyone else find it odd that Citron has backed off VRX so quickly, especially after Ackman became very vocal about it?

    They’re a bunch of f$&#s. And your son’s college is gorilla raping its students over textbooks.

    Karl Marx would agree, and maybe A. Left too.

    There is no need for textbooks. Use ttablets, with EBooks
    revised annually.

    When you get right down to it, there is no need for physical universities, stadiums, and worthless “research” conducted
    at them by lazy faculty, when they are not on sabbatical.

    And there is no need for faculty and sports stadiums and
    million dollar coaches and college presidents and building funds.

    A class can be taught to MILLIONS simultaneously online,
    by the best couple of teachers in the business.

        You apparently think College is a big party and
        recreational experience. Like the other spoiled brats
        born after 1970.

        First, I was in college in the 1970s. Second, I have a Master’s Degree from Cornell University. So you’re ignorant on both accounts. What’s mom making for dinner tonight?

    Obviously none of us are “trading” the right way. Citron has a helluva system.
