Gaiam, Inc. (GAIA)

GAIA owns part of RSOL. This thumbs up is a bet on RSOL earnings (tonight) or future (next couple quarters) growth in RSOL.

Gaiam is the parent company of the Solar Living Institute which trains people in eco-friendly lifestyle choices. They have their fingers on the pulse of the Eco market that is becoming the trend to personally combat global warming. This is a long term piece of the pie to collect.

SOROS

I think Gaiam is an excellent stock to have, particularly for a eco-friendly portfolio and for a long-term investment. Eco-lifestyle will only continue to grow as people search for more ways to enjoy life without harming the earth and it's people.

2nd try

Too many people are down on this stock...This company has a lot of growth ahead of itself.

Over-priced already. Market focus is too broad and market share is being diluted by increased competition, lululemon, and minor players, who are more innovated in delivering product to their core consumers. Ecommerce and catalogs, the major revenue growth channel for Gaiam, has loss over $7M dollars for first 3Q's of 2007 and has not generated any profit in 6 years. B2B channel is severely impacted going forward as major retail account, Target, has eliminated fitness DVD's and Gaiam store in store concept is in test mode and gives up huge margins to control real estate. Wal-Mart and others are backing out core profit center as well, fitness DVD's.

Like Gaiam was late to the party on solar, their party's over and the Real Goods play is only about taking $20M out of the equity buy from new Real Goods stakeholders, rather than leaving it in Real Goods and using the capital to grow the business.

Gaiam should value at $12, not at $23.62 and stop mailing catalogs to inflate revenue growth.

"green" publishing company. way overvalued and nowhere to go.

Posted positive Earnings surprise recently. Good earning history.

growing like a weed, large short interest,

While fitness crazes are often fads, yoga has been around in the U.S. since the 60s and has been in existence for thousands of years. Not exactly a fad. With baby boomers entering their golden years, they are going to need low-impact exercise options. GAIA's scale is going to drive purchases from major retailers, which is exactly where the boomers will be going. True yogis will always go to the niche mom and pop stores, but when this trend branches further into the major markets it's going to be all about easy access.

Also has compelling growth rates and low debt. High P/E but probably justified by the future prospects.

I like the products of this company, yes yes....I belong to the kumbaya crowd as someone put it on a pitch about this company, anyway, as I was saying, I like the products of this company, it's exactly what many yogis look for! For example, I saw on the site a chair made so that people can sit with the legs in lotus or half lotus position, isnt that great ? I mean...really....I always sit like that on the couch when I'm reading but I can't do that on a normal chair....well, whatever.

But she stock seeeems too overvalued by any measures. And damn.... I hate GAIA, hate it, hate it, hate it, I lost a lot of CAPS points on my previous underperform and I'm losing again on my second try....

Gross fundamentals, laughable products, grossly high EPS estimate.

Missed earnings will start this things downward slide.

who the hell wants responsible entertainment? maybe female democrats...and all they don't take a stand for anything so i don't see them buying this over whatever their family wants to watch.

Leery of companies claiming ability to

Bloated, overpriced stinkfest.

Over valued
