Crocs are more of a trend. And their stock was obviously a bit of hype. I haven't researched the company at all, but if they're a good company I'm sure their stock will stabilize. But if these crocs are all they've got, then that's it. But as Sam said, his wife got a pair of regular Croc sandals and she loves them. So at least they're not relying purely on those ugly foam things. Exactly… Crocs are more of a trend. And their stock was obviously a bit of hype.

If the company branched out and advertised more products than just the Crocs, they'd have a legitimate alternative as a shoe company once the Crocs fever dies down. Instead, once the demand for Crocs goes down, the company's future will not be great and the stock price will continue to fall until some equilibrium point is reached. Investing now would be quite risky. CROX should never have been looked at as an investment vehicle, only as a trading vehicle if you are a risk-taker.

Really comfortable and better looking. But I agree with the others - paying that price for what is basically molded foam rubber seems silly. They must cost all of $3 to produce.

If one were in a risky mood, then buying stock as soon as they became really popular might have been a good move, with the intention to sell once it reached a certain point. But I'm too risk-averse.
