from briefing.com <<09:17 ET Short Picks: A Wall Street Journal piece identifies the following vitamin makers as potential short candidates, due to lofty valuation and increasing debt: General Nutrition (GNCI 39 7/8), NBTY Inc. (NBTY 57 3/8), Rexall Sundown Inc. (RXSD 36 5/16), and Twinlab Corp. (TWLB38 3/16). The stocks have run-up 101%, 299%, 285%, and 218%, respectively, over the past year.
