Heelys Secondary on the Deck

(Update June 10) Today when I visited Galleria Mall, I saw Walk ‘N Roll, a knockoff of Heelys. Unlike Crocs, I think knockoff will take a toll at Heelys’ sale.

(Original June 8 ) Here is the S1 prospectus from SEC web site. It appears the selling shareholders (mostly venture capital) filed on June 7 to unload 8 m shares. My suggestion is don’t touch this skating shoes maker because I don’t like its growth prospect. I already sold all shares which I bought during its IPO debut last Dec.

I expect the secondary will be sold very soon, maybe next week?
