$CARS Like I said, this will get bought out soon. Expect it to run up somewhere between $14 - $21 prior to the announcement. They are actively buying back shares of what’s already a low float. Buy and hold for a great return here.

$CARS is about 90% owned by institutions who are quietly accumulating more shares while the company itself continues to buyback and retire shares on its own. Activist investor Hill Path Capital recently bought a bunch of shares. Cox Automotive, CarGurus, and Amazon are all companies that could potentially looking to buy $CARS

$CARS WOW! unexpected….. shares short actually went higher as of March 1. Now 7.65 million short vs 7.4 million mid February. I expected some covering but nope. During the period Pale Fire Capital also accumulated around 6%….. I think over next coming months when volume drops back to under 700k per day this will have a short squeeze to $11-$12.

$CARS at current share price the minimum buyback ($60 million) would buyback 7.3 million shares! I’ll about guarantee if this stays below $10 they will buyback what they did last fiscal year which was north of $85 million!
