Crocs is a great call...overhyped all year, and you just knew when winter hit, the stores would be flooded with excess inventory. Now, the market is finally catching up, with a 16% drop this week. It's only going to get worse this winter as stores have to liquidate. Who the hell is going to by a crocadile in the winter?!?

GREAT call on Baidu, or put ... depending on how you went after it. BTW - great day in the market for those who buy puts and sell calls ...
