After Morgan Stanley downgraded Skullcandy (SKUL), I quickly wrote that I thought the sell-off was way overdone and marked a buying opportunity<\/a>. From comments and other posts I have seen, it seems this was a common opinion amongst folks following this company. The following day, SKUL gapped up (giving me little time to buy) and has yet to look back. On Friday, October 5th, the stock reached as high as $14.58 before pulling back to $14.15. SKUL not only recovered all its losses from the Morgan Stanley downgrade, but it got “close enough” to Morgan Stanley’s price target of $15 – all in less than a month. {snip}<\/p>\n

{snip} The general market is not likely to make much progress over the next month, so given this assumption, I decided to close out my position for now.<\/p>\n

It is not yet clear whether short-covering will serve as a positive catalyst for shares. {snip}<\/p>\n

The path forward for SKUL will likely remain rough (for example, watch out for a Morgan Stanley reiteration?). However, barring any negative surprises November 1st, I remain a buyer on dips. <\/p>\n

Be careful out there!<\/p>\n
