NTY has a strong balance sheet that reflects their capability to withstand market downturn. In addition, they are vertically intergrated which allows them to compete well. In addition, many officers have completed a Trading Plan form which will allow them to sell shares after approximately March 2008.

All in all, though NTY looks fairly cheap so do most retailers and consumer companies. Unless we can get through another quarter without a significant earnings miss or downward revision it just seems too early to call a bottom here.

Further down because they need to fix the problem in the ecommerce/direct response department. Me think they need to fire a couple of key in that department and hire better marketing people who can deliver. This department is suppose to grow drive for the company but it turn out to be a drag instead.

Bought this baby in 97. Millions of baby boomers not getting younger. What's the first thing retirees do in the morning...TAKE THEIR VITAMINS! Demographics are on the side of this company. This one is a growth story for years to come.
