Trans World Entertainment Corp (TWMC)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company operates retail stores and five e-commerce sites and is retailers of entertainment software, including music, home video, and video games and related products in the United States.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I used to work for TWEC and it's a horribly misrun company.





Their overall management strategies include "Throw everything against the wall and see if it sticks", "buy up small, failing competitors and burden yourself with debt".

I used to work for TWEC and it's a horribly misrun company.

Their business is in CD's, primarily. As of now, they have 5% of the market. Borders and Barnes & Noble each have a larger market share than that.





Best Buy, Wal*Mart and iTunes are crushing TWEC.





They have failed to show any innovation, given the current market trends of online music/downloading, etc.





Stores are closing around the country.





I give this retailer as a whole 5 years before going belly up.

Veni vidi duci - I came, I saw, I calculated.


They have a highly flawed business model. They have about a third of the employees that Amazon has. They have a market cap of 148 M compared to Amazon's 35.6 B. How can they compete with Apple, Amazon, Wal Mart?


I just don't see opportunity ahead of them.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
