Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) soared after the close yesterday on better earnings and better guidance; but calling for a return to profits was thee winning lotto ticket. Shares went out over 25% higher last period at $5.35 on over 2 meg after-hours shares. The shares this morning are actually up about 29% every said at $5.53 and we have seen over 70,000 trade at 8:14 AM EST. This will be one of today’s exponential volume stocks and that 2.8 meg share average day should be hit faster than traders can say GO. As a reminder, $5.80 is the 52-week high after this traded substantially higher in 2007. -JON OGG
