Day traders have a few big movers to choose from this Friday morning.  While many stocks are moving after earnings, there are several percentage gainers and losers that stand out in the pack for day traders and active traders.  We are seeing significant moves in shares of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), ATP Oil & Gas Corp. (NASDAQ: ATPG), American Public Education, Inc. (NASDAQ: APEI), CROCS, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX), and GenVec, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNVC).

Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) is getting clipped this morning after its revenue for Q2 and outlook for Q3 failed to ignite any buying.  Shares are trading down over 7% at $10.90 on almost 1 million shares.

ATP Oil & Gas Corp. (NASDAQ: ATPG) reported a wider loss than expected; shares are down 15% at $11.29 on about 400,000 shares.

American Public Education, Inc.

CROCS, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) is surging higher this morning after it beat earnings estimates and guided higher for next quarter.  The ugly-shoe maker is seeing shares up almost 9% at $13.67 on over 130,000 shares.
