Crocs (CROX) Crocs may actually be moving into the stage where its price and market cap are so low that it could become a takeover target. After announcing awful quarterly numbers and a weak forecast, shares in the company have fallen to $4.38 down from their 52-week high of $75.21.

Crocs said it expects its second quarter 2008 revenue to be in the approximate range of $218 million to $223 million and expects diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.03 to $0.07.

The company did say its international business continues to do very well. As extraordinary as it may seem, Crocs market cap is not only $366 million. The company has no long-term debt.

The Crocs line of products would not be a bad match with the Nike (NKE) casual shoe lines. Adidas has some products in the same category. If Crocs is going to get back to $10.00, it may have to be through an acquisition.

Management does not own a great deal of Crocs. Are investors tired enough to take a huge haircut? Investors who got in at $20? That’s the question.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
