A Potentially Great Short: KORS

I recently read Michael Kors Shares Set To Fall As Lock-Up Expires, Growth Slows. The most interesting aspect of the bear case for KORS is the lock-up on shares that expires on Wednesday. IPO stocks tend to go into a prolonged downtrend around lockup expiration.


The chart shows KORS is in a downtrend despite blow out earnings last week. Note the gaps, they tend to get fully filled as time progresses.

I may initiate a put position within the following week.

Update:I shorted it and held for a day. I made 12% profit using put options. In my opinion this was a bad trade because the unlocking of shares was already priced in. I preformed this trade with the 1 minute chart where I had support and resistance mapped out. I noticed it was getting bad so I exited.
