It is not an internet company, and it is reliable. No waste of time.

As the market takes off over the next year, the demand for high end items will be there as well.

Slowly but surely Blue Nile appears to be capturing the minds of more and more grooms-to-be. I think word of mouth is really going to be the driver of sales growth -- you can hear about it, but there's a real tendency to be skeptical about buying an engagement ring online. Talk to someone who did, however, and who was overwhelmingly pleased by their experience, and then it looks like a much better idea.

Blue Nile has had a great couple of quarters lately, their fundamentals are solid, and their competition is an industry screaming to be shaken up (I view it in the same light as NetFlix vs Blockbuster).

I'm excited about the potential of Blue Nile, and I look for it to outperform over the next several years as more and more people wake up to its potential and actually examine its performance (of the business, not the stock).

It just doesn't make sense that we are going to see long term success in a company that sells something as personal as diamonds over the internet.

Strong presense in a market that is facing Christmas season. Very good Gross and Net returns for a business with hard sales.

Great business for the short term and in the next two to four years they will continue to grow, my only worry is the growth of grown diamonds after that time period, I'm in a wait and see pattern longer term.

Management have hit their stride as they discover sales growth is driven by being the low-cost leader. Since this realisation stock buybacks have accelerated. Check out the financials and my forecasts

Doing very well, but not reflected yet in price. I expect price will catch up. It needs however to deal with internal problems but I think those now are obvious enough so Nile management will become cautious in granting options and the like

I'm in the camp of choose the diamond / setting you want maybe in the store..but log onto NILE if you can get what you want there & save money to boot. I like their model for the long haul (streamlined sourcing, etc.) and their customer service -- perhaps they are the Zappo's of the gem-jewelry market! ...Ordered a Mother's day gift, called a couple hours later to ask a question about the gift...and it was already out the door!
