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 sentiment expects kick-a$$ holiday season, if it happens, its still an outdated furniture retailer with a bad balance sheet...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'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PIR is hemorrhaging money. You can only do so much before pulling the plug.
Note the Morningstar article explaining that while their 1-star stocks are outpacing the 5-stars, it's not a viable investment strategy going forward. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Stock-Star-Rating-Performance-ms-14917576.html
Once again we have "irrational exuberance" governing market behavior.

PIR has been a loser stock for years. I can't see them flourishing when home prices are falling. Who's going to spend money to decorate a home they might lose?

Need time to stop the bleeding. Good new CEO with proven record with regard to turnarounds- need time though. Good in a year or so- good for long term feel.

A business that sells a bunch of overpriced trendy crap to decorate your home with - I'm sure this will go over great in the current economic climate.
