PRTS - Update - big drop yesterday

    Posted by Walt on 23rd of Aug 2016 at 05:08 pm

    PRTS got hammered Monday 8/22 to the tune of 13-14%, and other 2% today on no news that I can see.  Anybody have any clues?  It is suddenly back down to the low temporary level of 8/2.

    U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. (PRTS) - more of a longer term fundamental play.

    They filed an S-3 registration

    They filed an S-3 registration statement for some existing holders which led to the selling. Thus it's viewed as a dark cloud overhang for a period of time. These are not newly issued shares so its non-dilutive but in my opinion it will take some time for the S-3 to be declared effective and for new buyers to absorb whatever shares the sellers may choose to sell.  The stock made a nice move into resistance last week and got overbought technically as well.  

    I will discuss further in tonight's newsletter.
