Plus, their shoes are just plain fugly. You can have technical indicators until the cows come home, but this stock is pure fad. Plus, their shoes are just plain fugly.

The day before the announcement any investor could have easily sold 50% or something similar to lower overall risk heading into the call. Another idea would be to watch it live after hours and sell out as early as possible if the stock started tanking. Just something to think about.

Stick a knife in my eye why don't you?!? I got caught on that after hours earnings crush @ #7 - worse loss of my trading career. I know a lot of really succesfull traders who rode that out with me as we all looked for the door at the same time. I remember the sell off at 5 minutes after 4PM and thinking to myself, "oh my god, this isn't a closing adjustment - SELL SELL SELL." I couldn't get my orders filled fast enough to get out. It was a horrible event. Here's something interesting for you guys to note: The Nasdaq topped out and made its bull market hi on 10/31/07. It started to break down on 11/07 - CROX made its bull run hi on 10/31 as well, reported a/h and opened 20 + points lower the next day - it topped with the market and to my knowledge was the first leader to signal the death of the bull market. Nearly 1 year ago from today. CROX – arrghghgh. Stick a knife in my eye why don’t you?!?
