Let's see.... 7 straight quarters of losses, and the next expected gains are 2011. And there are only 3 analysts covering the stock.

Hrrmmmm..... no risk there.

19% insider, Large percentage of institutional owners, which is bad with people still exiting mutual funds. Has has a decent amount of insiders buying very recently. Had positive cash flow last year, currently $300M LT Debt to $100M cash. Still 50% off its 52wk high. Few analysts cover stock (bonus), not expected to see profits until late 2010 or 2011. I think its really going to hinge on the turnaround artist, Fogarty, that is the new CEO. Shares have climbed a quick $1 since his being named, 3 weeks ago. High priced retailers are having problems now, but I think Fogarty can pull it out. I'll be watching to see what he does in the near future and puts out for his long-term strategy.

too many management changes in the past year in all divisions as well as at the top. merchandise assortment is not exciting and isn't addressing the ethnic customer needs.
