bought into this stock a little too early or you can say too late on the last downtrend and held on at an loss  for months. Company has been announcing 40-60% increase in SSS for the past few quarters. Numbers are expected to be in the black this upcoming earnings. The only concern I have is the hit retail specialty stores have been getting the past few weeks.
Any opinion on wtsla? I'm expecting a turnaround starting this quarter. My expectations too high?
