Why is it priced for growth at a time like this? Who is going to bring up children now? The birth rate is going to fall..... Not to suggest that we are Rome or Russia......... Am I wrong?

Current fashion trends that include maternaty like clothes that are competing with MWRK's products are coming to an end. Sales at MWRK stores should recover next year.

This company struggles from poor management that is only able to grow through acquisition, and they've already bought up everybody they can. The competitors left are mostly Wal-Mart and Target. Mgm't bailed on the stock last Nov. pulling out 50% of their holdings in the company (a cool $21 million). Won't outperform until they come up with a business strategy that will work.

same store sales down in july & august, the sears deal ends in june '08 so that'll drop revenue... its hard to guess how low it'll go but it's not done dropping yet.
