Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough is adding Wingstop (WING) to the short side of Investing Ideas. Below is a brief note.

You didn't think I forgot how to make timely short sales on green with US Equity Beta (SPY) at the top-end of my Risk Range, did you?

I am not supposed to "feel" anything about this gig, but I admit... I love short selling!

I've been waiting on Howard Penney's green light to re-short this COVID winner. Why? He thinks they're going to comp negative same store sales next.

Howard on today's preannouncement:

"The tailwinds in 1Q21 are stimulus checks, March Madness's return, and increased advertising; most will dissipate for the balance of the year.  We are looking for -5% SSS in 2Q21."

No, WING's management won't be pumping out preannouncements when the business is down -5%,
