WSM recently reported dismal earnings and lower revenue yet the stock price jumped. In fact the stock price has nearly doubled during the last few months. WSM is a provider of non-essential goods to higher income shoppers. They are going to lose a lot of potential customers due to dismal macroeconomic factors.

Isn't much in Williams - but it is pretty. Sonoma - nothing special there unless your a tourist or a crystal rubbing hippy friend of the McCain family. Overall I don't see combining the two will make any money.

Excellent product line up for 4th quarter with particular improvements in Pottery Barn sector. However, Williams-Sonoma Home is not as strong this season.

Just the place to go to buy a toaster for your anniversary, or plates for your college buddy's second marriage (his first wife got the set you gave him 20 years ago). Still well-managed and positioned to rise.

POTTERY BARN WHICH IS OWNED BY WILLIAMS SONOMA CORP. AND IS A HUGE PART OF THEIR EARNINGS HAS RECENTLY BANNED ANYONE THEY BELIEVE IS SELLING THEIR ITEMS PURCHASED FROM OUTLETS ON EBAY. ABOUT 200 PEOPLE CURRENTLY DOING THIS THAT ARE BANNED AND THESE PEOPLE SPEND 10-15 MILLION PER YEAR AT THEIR 9 OUTLETS. NOT SURE HOW MUCH THEIR SHAREHOLDERS KNOW OF THIS NEW POLICY IMNPLIMENTED. BUT WON'T BE A SECRET LONG WITH NEWS STARTING TO COVER AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN THE WORKS. LOOK OUT STOCKS FOR 3 RD QUARTER.. GOING TO FALL HARSHLY I WOULD SAY!!!!

Good insider ownership (13%). CEO recently purchased $10M worth of shares, which is 2.5X his annual compensation. Management is very shareholder friendly and plans to return 70% of FCF to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks in 2006. New brand West Elm is very popular with customers and growing quickly.

Pottery sells garbage for high prices as if it's a luxury item. Eventually this is going to catch up with them.

More and more in recent years, America is taking an interest in home decor and gourmet cooking. The TV shows that cater to this audience often present upscale homes and pricey cookware; the viewers want a piece of this luxury, and WSM is just the place to get it.

The stock price has been hammered, dropping from 40-something to $29 recently. There's a shuffle underway in the executive suite with a returning CEO (1979-2001) taking over. WSM has provided top-line growth guidance of 10-12%, down from recent estimates of 12-14%. Retail Specialty (Home) is always a challenge and recent pressures have taken their toll on companies like BBBY too. But the strong survive when the going gets tough ... and Williams-Sonoma profitability track record has been quite good in recent years. We have WSM at a projected annual return of 19% and the company ranks among the most-respected quality companies in its peer group.
