you and I agree a lot, abit, but you've got this one way wrong. It's been overpriced, but Guess has been selling well despite the consumer meltdown, and it's nearly (or already) 50% foreign, with more international growth on the way. It's products (often identical to those sold in the U.S.) can bring 2x the price in many foreign markets, making for margin-busting expansion.
