I was originally going to wait until the next resistance around $40.99 to short. However, I just noticed that after market close they reported a 22% decline in holiday sales compared to last year at this time. Taking this into consideration, I decided to adjust my game-plan to take one small level in today's aftermarket and set my original entry level ( $40.99 ) as a cost average level .

The 22% overall decline is not as bad as it sounds in my opinion because they were actually able to increase digital sales 23% and still expect to deliver positive earnings (EBIT) for Q4.

Personally , I think that their quick ratio and debt/equity is the big red flag , not to mention technicals also support a move down soon too (especially RSI) .

That's just my opinion but looking at the 32 % short float , we can deduce that there are many other traders with similar viewpoints . It would seem to be a perfect time for an offering to help that quick ratio out a bit , wonder if the management is thinking the same ...

Good luck ~
