Today's trade is in a name that first hit my radar when Steve and Sam published a special report on Small Caps that were ready to squeeze. It later was reiterated in an Analyst meeting we had last week.

Somebody forget to tell Target $TGT that we're in a bull market.Things are going from bad to worse over there, and my portfolio needs some short exposure. So this is the target.

Wait.... what??That's right. I said it. I hope the trade I'm putting on today loses. If it does, that likely means the rest of my portfolio is doing well.
