Leave aside being overpaid. It is stunning that Ron Snyder, CEO of Crocs (CROX), can keep his job. After repeated earnings disappointments, shares in the company hit a 52-week low today of $.79, down from the period high of $46.80.

Crocs reported a net loss of $148 million for the third quarter compared with net income of $57 million in the period a year ago. Revenue dropped 32% to $174 million from $256 million. Wall St estimates were for sales of $202 million.

But, it was guidance that bled the stock price out. Crocs estimated a Q4 loss of $.50 to $.65 a share on revenue of $100 million to $120 million. Analysts estimates were for sales of $186 million.

CEO Snyder made almost $7 million last year with a base salary of $800,000 and $3.2 million in deferred compensation.

Crocs market cap fell to about $75 million today.

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!
