Sterling,
I gather my institutional data from Vickers Research.

Chris,

I round tripped this stock, had a great gain but gave it all back. Where did you find the information on the # of institutions holding the stock, the buying and selling volume and amount?

Fad or no? In the 60′s everybody had to have cars with humungous chrome bumpers & gigantic fins. Then along came a reverse statement, dressed down inexpensive cars that ran well. Everybody said they would never survive, but it was the industry that changed. Gucci, Prada, $150 sneakers–that’s what doesnt’ make sense. Inexpensive, comfortable shoes that don’t stink of sweat or fall apart when they get wet…who cares what NY fashion snobs think? Plastic shoes are here to stay. Get used to it.

Zach,
I had a few people tell me I was crazy in September and then again in October as it made new highs.

Bottom line: We can never ignore institutional selling.

To all,
I get my institutional numbers from Vickers Reseach.

I’ll bet you got a ton of hate mail when you first wrote about CROX. That name has had one of the most emotional investor bases that I have seen in some time. While the company is amazing and the shoes are comfortable (yeah I have some), the stock has been an accident waiting to happen. Tough to play these names with appropriate risk control

Lol @ “FAD!”

You may be right though. This one may never bounce back.

Hey Chris, I was wonder where do you get your research from such as “Shares Held Previous Period: 118.1 mil” and “Value of Shares Sold: $2.46 bil” for this particular month. Thanks!

Yea, i’ve never understood CROX (I don’t like the look of them) which is why i’ve never bought into the stock.
