Bed bath and beyond is having some trouble, and pir is starting to finally take advantage of that. I see this one rebounding as the housing market rebounds. with their new rebranding and increased product selection, theyre starting to dip their hands in several housing niches which should help greatly.

They don't normally announce comps, but lately they have been more forthcoming because the news has been good. I expect positive comps because the comparisons are favorable and the merchandise is great. Check out what Cramers counterpart said about the merchandise on todays "Stop trading" . A strong endorsement from the target consumer.

Loses either way... sentiment expects kick-a$$ holiday season, if it happens, its still an outdated furniture retailer with a bad balance sheet... if it doesnt game over. either way this stock has a long time until its next period of 'good news'.

I can't believe I'm doing this. Outperform.

Sad... sad... sad... Pier once was a great company. Operating losses have punished this company and there is only so much inventory and jobs they can lighten up on. That being said, if it gets below 2.50 I will end my short pick.

Low Price with High Professional Opinion

Pier 1 struggled in the good times of the housing boom. I think they will go bankrupt in the tough times ahead for the US Consumer.

Big runup, wildly overvalued, set for a fall.

No market for their products during recession.

Short term hedge for potential pre- & -post earnings season market falls. Tough market for even the best unprofitable retailers.

Putting underperforms on all the stocks I can't short, to make me feel better. Wish I'd bought this one in March. Suspect it is going back there. They are still trying to sell the stuff that was on clearance after Christmas.

Management is trimming the fat and it stock price reflects it

Company has been in the tank for several years. Negative earnings growth began long prior to the recession and will continue to grow at a record pace while debt mounts. Spending habits have shifted away from their products.

I would jump off a pier if someone gave me a gift from here. Pier 1 suxs

Stores in our area have been closing down left and right...eventually this one will go bankrupt. Their merchandise is simply too expensive for the current economic crisis and the state of the consumer.

Looks cheap @ <2.50...Good company with a strong sheet....Small enough to change with the economy ups and downs...Buying in....
