Somebody forgot to tell The Buckle there is a recession: Simply the best apparel retailer around - consistent top & bottom line growth, conservative store growth, and an unbelievable run of 22 consecutive months of double digit same-store sales growth, with 33 straight month of same-store sales gains overall.

I'll throw in some backup here. Knowing the management of the company (I grew up in Kearney, NE, where the company is based), I know how conservative and methodical that they are. I usually throw in witticisms but all I can say is that they shun debt and plan everything. All the way down to the store level the staff is trained to excel at their job on a Navy SEAL level, and it's simply intolerable to work there if you don't buy into it (trust me). There's a reason that Buckle is riding high while everybody else is frantically bailing water; they're better at what they do.

I'll second that notion. Bought my first position with real cash a few weeks ago at $26.
