Guess Steve Madden didn’t do such massive damage after all :wink: Thanks to everyone who talked me back into reestablishing my position after that.

I’ve never had to trim a position because it had gotten too large before. I’ve never had to seriously contemplate it. What fun. Thanks everyone and Saul in particular.

I would like to thank Saul and everyone on this board for bringing SKX to my attention. Thanks to the research that you shared, I initiated a position back in the beginning of April that has gone up like a rocket!

Cheers,
Chris
