Local Company that I am seeing all over the place. They have very little debt and good amount of cash. Beta is also low at 1.14 indicating it moves very closely with the market.

Seem to have stabilized, including growth at Arden B; guiding profitable for 1st quarter. Strong cash position, with a little improvement could see $8-10 a share by 2010.

During an economic downturn, clothing companies like Wet Seal are well positioned as parents and lower income twenty-somethings turn to cheaper clothes to satisfy their fashion cravings. In addition, Wet Seal's former CEO returning (who has a massive compensation package set to kick in if the stock gets to 5$), inventory tightening at ardenB division and the launch of a new Ashley Simpson clothing line should boost revenue this quarter serving as an additional catalyst for stock price growth. Look for Wet Seal to top 5$ by back to school time in 2008.

New Ceo with proven track record effective Oct 8th 2007 who knows what he is doing.The tools he has to work with is an extraordinarily strong balance sheet. The float is more than 90% owned by the tutes. The p/s is extremely low and the pay plan for the Ceo is highly incentivised only if the stock price goes above $5.00 a share.

Price is always based mostly on earnings. One miss and everyone tries to bag a bunch of day trading naked shorts. You can usually see when thats happening because between 3 and 4 PM it usually recovers of lot of the days losses. After they score their loot and make their quick buck mostly off the feint of heart the stock will find itself disconnected from it's true value and flow back to center which is probably around the 6-9 dollar range within 18-24 months. Good penny stock to gamble on in my opinion. NOT something a conservative investor should be looking at.

Saw this on StatsGeek's list. At first I thought StatsGeek had listed this as underperform, and I was trying to figure out why.
The CFO recently stepped down, which is generally a negative sign, but the financials look fairly decent.
* PE is high compared to similar retailers, but has good low PEG ratio of 0.55 and forward PE < 10.
* Hardly any debt, debt/equity=0.026
* Enterprise value is almost 75% of market cap.
* Looks like perhaps was oversold from the announcement of CFO departure??

WTSLA looks like a good company, their product is well positioned against the competition buuuuuuuuut!!! They are missing one item "PRODUCTS FOR MALES", something that every Wet Seal competitor is selling to.
The lack of male products can hurt them not just on margins made there but buy creating a more social atmosphere in their stores (young people like to have a place to meet and while there meeting they spend money).
Other than that their clothes look well made and priced nicely.

This stock seems beaten up but appears to have good growth estimates at a cheap price. I like the price at this point, the fact that they have room to grow, and how they only need to focus on women's fashion.
