I honestly don't have a problem with Pier One, but label me a skeptic of their business model and valuation. I guess I just question the run up of PIR from a penny stock in 2009 to the current valuation of ~$16. I have thought of them as a fad retailer on their way out for a number of years but the stock price seems to continue to defy gravity. I don't know anyone who shops their stores anymore, and I just can't see the new generation of women shoppers buying home decorative items from the stores. Their demographic is getting older, and they haven't really made a huge effort to reach the younger generation of customers. A sell @ $16.
