More Replacement Tickers for Reshaping David Merkel's Portfolio [view article]
wouldn't SKM fit in the 'cheap for Korea' mold? ReplyInvestor
Most and Least Shorted Stocks in the Russell 1,000 [view article]
Heavily shorted stocks that have had positive YTD activity are those that deserve special note, including: YRCW, BIG, PNRA, and ETFC. These are the stocks that are in a bullish condition but that still have heavy short positions.This condition is indicative of a "short squeeze" stock price pop; especially with ETFC since it just moved in to secure an exclusive BlackBerry Mobile Streaming Platform yesterday.
Positive exclusive technology position on top of several other positive brokerage metrics over the past two months; and yet a heavy short position condition. Reply

Short Interest at Record Levels [view article]
Re CALM: I also have read about it (see Marketwatch listed articles), including one guy saying it will be "the mother of all short squeezes." Certainly seems like it should -- but it's been dropping, and fast -- WHY?! Help! Need to understand.Gaucho: What is the average short price now? % short? And time to cover? Surely not still $8, and I'm afraid they will cover before it has to go it.
Disclosure: Long on CALM. Don't want to lose money on it. Am off to check on shortsqueeze.com, but first:
Trading Goddess: Nope; sorry! 1) Can't afford that for shoes. 2) Don't like them. (Why? Because I said so! So there!) Reply

We did it again:March 30th we said:
"1) CROX is dead: someone out there knows something, otherwise the stock wouldn't be trading at such a low PEG ratio; also don't expect a pop unless sales pick up drastically and as we all know, they are DECELERATING....."...
Today -- CROX - 30% in after hrs on nasty guidance, we expected nothing less from arguably the creepiest management in the footwear space

Gaucho is accurate on most of his comments! The dividend though is estimated at 0.67 this quarter in the article I read... They are truly pulling a wedgee on the shorts:) Yes I am long on CALM. ReplyShort Interest at Record Levels [view article]
PS - Long CROX...if that wasn't obvious. Initiated position at 18.95 and have been accumulating. ReplyShort Interest at Record Levels [view article]
shortsqueeze.com has a lot of helpful short information available for free, and a subscription service with even more info.Is CROX dead, or is it being murdered? Personally, I think its the latter. I could understand the skepticism if it were still in the $70s, but at $17 it seems this short is over.
40% short interest in a stock that has 30% forward earnings growth? 6.5x forward earnings? Chairman just bought $5m worth of stock at $20/share? Rampant international growth...I just fail to see the justification for an OVERWHELMINGLY bearish view of this company.
Are the shoes ugly? Yeah, but they're really comfortable and extremely versatile and functional.
The decelerating growth rate was a valid argument when the stock was in the 60s and 70s, but at $17 with its current valuations, the decelerating growth is irrelevant if they continue to grow at 20-30%.
Anyway, just my $.02

I short that I am now accumulating is CALM. IT currently has 78% of the float shorted and the price action is amazing. LOOK AT THE MONTH GRAPH They are due to report Monday. If this news is as good as many people expect then the top could fly off this one.Management has gotten aggressive recently in fighting the shorts.
First they have announced that they will pay 1/3 of all profits as dividends!! The latest earnings estimate is well over 2.00 this quarter.
Second they have announced a 4 million shares buy back!!
Third they are making it clear that they are taking on the shorts by making news announcement about the dividend and the buyback.
Fourth They have a huge growth rate..
Fifth The shorts were under water after 8.00 per share!! It is now 38 per share. With over 12 million short they are looking at being under water over 300 million dollars!!
This is not a pump please conduct your own due diligence. Do a Google search these guys could go is to a short squeeze of epic proportions. No my works but those of a recent news commentator.

1) CROX is dead: someone out there knows something, otherwise the stock wouldn't be trading at such a low PEG ratio; also don't expect a pop unless sales pick up drastically and as we all know, they are DECELERATING.2) The other point is that when pessimism is this high, it tends to demarcate a bottoming in the markets; consumer confidence is at a 5Y low, and hopefully you guys can pull up some data from past CC levels and point out what the markets did afterward......
