Let's see here ... we've got a company that sells diamonds and fine jewelry online. Sounds like a crazy idea to me, but the site looks well laid out and they seem to be profitable, so I won't question the basic business model. What I don't quite… More

This company's stock has been oversold. I dont like the valuation but their website and reputation are the best on the internet.

PE and future earnings projections seem very, very aggressive. I am not sure how this company can achieve such growth in a down market, with the consumer on the ropes. Selling jewelry in a good market is difficult, much less a terrible one. They have some tough competition online with other retailers, such as Ice.com, Helzberg, and Zales. Ice.com and some other retailers seem heavily focused on marketing to more cost conscience online consumers, which will probably cut into some of NILE’s growth.

With expected lower overall sales in the jewelry market, rising commodity prices for gold / silver, and pretty stiff competition, I would not be willing to risk any long position here. In fact, I might consider some puts or a small short position given the extent to which they are currently overvalued.
