    sixflags.com Plenty of stocks go up and down in any given week. The gainers inspire us to keep investing. The decliners keep greed in check while reminding us about the risks of the equity markets. Let's go over some of last week's best and worst performers. Regulus Therapeutics (RGLS) -- Up 161 percent last week Last week's biggest winner was a biotech upstart that got welcome news on a potential hepatitis C treatment. Regulus Therapeutics is showing that patients receiving a single injection of its drug are reporting lower viral loads a month later. There are still plenty of regulatory hurdles to clear, but it's certainly encouraging. Select Comfort (SCSS) -- Up 21 percent last week Shares of Select Comfort moved higher after it announced blowout quarterly results. The company behind the Sleep Number air-chambered mattresses saw net sales and earnings per share climb 23 percent and 22 percent, respectively. Select Comfort's strong performance was fueled by an impressive 16 percent spike in comparable-store sales. The favorable momentum is going to linger: Select Comfort is boosting its guidance for the entire year. Six Flags (SIX) -- Up 16 percent last week It was a summer of thrills at Six Flags. Shares of the regional amusement park operator rose like a coaster on a chain lift after it announced better-than-expected revenue growth. Revenue increased 7 percent on a combination of a slight uptick in attendance, higher admission prices, and guests spending more once inside the park. The report was encouraging enough for Six Flags to boost its dividend. The stock is now yielding a hearty 5.3 percent. Boulder Brands (BDBD) -- Down 31 percent last week Shares of Boulder Brands lost nearly a third of their value after the food company behind Smart Balance buttery spreads and EVOL frozen entrees warned of a soft holiday quarter. It now foresees net sales of $132! million ! to $137 million for the fourth quarter. We would be looking at a sequential dip from

    On the other hand, stocks in peer specialty retailers Lumber Liquidators  (NYSE: LL  ) and Tile Shop Holdings  (NASDAQ: TTS  ) have been getting killed on falling comparable-store sales and profits:

    Analysts had two choices when Lumber Liquidators (LL) gapped down after its last earnings miss in July: To run for cover or hold on tight. The latter are paying for their decision today.

    Shares of Lumber Liquidators have dropped after the flooring company said it had earned 58 cents a share during the third quarter, well below forecasts for 68 cents. Lumber Liquidators also lowered its full-year guidance to a range of $2.38 to $2.52, below forecasts for $2.66.

    Janney’s David Strasser and team recommend waiting before buying Neutral-rated Lumber Liquidators:

    We continue to advocate waiting for evidence of a recovery as opposed to trying to anticipate improvement at Lumber Liquidators. It remains unclear how much of Lumber Liquidators’s problems are macro vs. self-inflicted. It also remains unclear when either issue will be resolved, hence a continued risk to estimates, while valuation remains elevated.

    And even the bulls are acknowledging doubts. Canaccord Genuity’s Laura Champine and Jason Smith note that the results have weakened their “conviction” in Buy-rated Lumber Liquidators. They explain why:

    The company continued to feel the effect of constrained inventory as it spent the quarter getting laminates and vinyl product back in stock. Engineered hardwood inventory has improved, but there were still SKUs out of stock at the end of the quarter. SSS declined 4.9% on top of +17.4%, versus our estimate and consensus of -1%. Net sales fell roughly $10MM short of our estimate, with up to $6MM of the miss the result of lost sales due to lack of inventory or! lower-pr! iced substitute product. With inventory back in line for two of the three categories, we would expect SSS to improve sequentially in Q4, but updated guidance suggests flooring demand remains weak. LL's Q4 SSS outlook calls for a low-single digit gain or decline, versus our prior estimate of +4% on top of +15.6%. We are maintaining our B
