Good question and I'm not sure at this point. Actually the bounce was due to a good earnings. Weight Watchers announced earnings on Wednesday with a bit of a surprise for investors. Analysts were expecting earnings of $0.09 a share on $399.2 million in revenues, but Weight Watchers delivered earnings of $0.38 a share on $409.4 million in revenues. CEO Jim Chambers stated that 2014 would be a tough year for the company and he's right. Given the short ratio is around 49% I'll have to give it some time to see how it plays out. I'm thinking short covering here could take it a lot higher. My dad, wife, and several of our friends have used Weight Watchers with great results. My dad lose around 40 lbs.

Since it was only a trade and my second go on it since I noticed the mention here I bailed at $24.97. My first go at it I only pulled around 50 cents off the trade.
