Paired Trade: Sell DineEquity, Buy Hormel

How can you recommend shorting a stock, when you "don't know the story that well," but you "recall not liking either company"?

Do you really feel comfortable recommending a trade on a widely read website that you really seem to know very little about?

Also, this is not a pair trade. This is two separate trades of two companies that have nothing to do with each other.
