Stock Selection for Case Study

I'm going through my watch-list looking for an appropriate stock to write a case study on that I will attach to cold emails. One stock I am considering because I have owned it for several months and already am familiar with is Micron. Is this a possibility, or will it not be taken seriously because of its popularity and hype even despite good analysis? Also I have pretty solid idea for a short position, would this be the better move as it might set me apart?
