Pier 1 Imports, Inc. (NYSE:PIR)

store is full of overpriced items most people can do without.
Honestly have no idea how they manage to stay afloat in a recessionary economy.

This stockearning are great and keep increasing

Too easily replaceable and in a very competitive market. It cannot outperform over the long haul.

please tell me you realize it is a recession. RECESSION.

comeback story, strong brand

AB Buy Confirmed. Ready for a new bullish move. It opened today with a gap up and closed higher than the open. This is an important confirmation.

I expect growth in the home furnishings/home improvement sector as people turn toward improving what they have instead of upsizing their homes.

What do people buy there that they cannot get at Garden Ridge, Wal Mart, or World Market? Consumer is downsizing and this retail space is crowded.

PEG > 1, S&P 1 or 2*, Fool 1*

the economy will get better and this is under priced.

strong retailer

lhi ladys and gentleman i'm not a peacher but only know the statistics and numbers so all you get is buy strong or sell short play with me or agasinst me either way is fun and excuse my language dont mean to offend anyone this stock is a most buy you can make a quick 50% profit if the dow goes on a rally

I think people aren't going to be buying as much furniture in the years ahead as they have in the past. Even though the economy is "recovering".

I also found this on google... Google Furniture Index. Interesting, I wonder how good this index is at predicting sales/trends in an industry.

Chain and concept seems tired, have not shopped there in at least 5 years.

Looks like things are turning around.

Undervalued relative to its industry and strong earnings per share growth predicted.

I don't know much about the company itself, but I had considered buying it about six months ago. When I looked at it it was at $1.50 since it's gone way up ( high of $7.50).

I was suckered into the "Stock Option Plan" when I was employed with Pier 1 Imports and the stock has yanked steadily since I left employment back in 2001. I have 17 shares of this stock and wish to sell it but it doesn't seem to be worth the certified paper it is printed on. I habe also noticed their merchandise is much cheaper in quality and their store employees do not engage customers as I was trained to do when I worked there.
