They closed many of their lower performing stores under a
re-organization plan. It is working. They now have profits. Stock is
up 136 percent over last 12 months. About 40 percent is recent. They
are way ahead of their competion now. What can I say; the masses like
to buy stuff cheap. But if you missed the dip in price before they
reported earnings, it is probably too late to get on this ride now. I
have been saying that for a couple of weeks now and the dang price keeps
going up. ;-) What up, dog? Doesn't matter; we got into it last Nov.
so got on early enough. We will take the ride and see where it goes for
the next couple of years. I am tempted to sell with a good gain but it
is my wife's pick and she won't sell.
