Zumiez, Inc. (ZUMZ)

I'm a fan of the fact that there's so much room for them to grow (both monetarily and physically). Tom G. wrote that they have less than 200 stores now with a long term goal of around 800. Sounds like a growth story to me.

Who has more disposable income than extreme teens and twenty-somethings?? ... 'How much does it cost?? Who cares, I've got Mom's credit card." Seems a fine pick straight from Fool High Command.

If they are counting on a good Christmas season then these guys are going to hell in hand basket. All retailers are doing to be down this season including these guys.

ZUMZ has been hit pretty hard today on no news. Sure, I expect consumer spending to decline, however it's niche market of extreme adolescents should be insulated from this. Furthermore, ZUMZ has primarilay been a west coast company with few stores in the east. There's plenty of room to grow.

They're hot right now with teens. Enough said.

As of close of business on 2/20/08, this was a 5-star Morningstar stock trading at less than half of its Morningstar fair value.

I love the snowboard sector. I have a ton of friends and we all have Volcom stuff. Now we are seeing the switch to Zumiez. I love it and with the recent pullback I think it is a great place to get in. I own both vlcm and zumz.

My grandson (12) was visiting and I tried to show him a little about the market. He suggested Zumiez and I looked it up for him. My daughter, (his mother) confirmed brand loyalty in the family so for him I bought some because Financials look okay and I want him to have something to follow that he is interested in. Fingers crossed, I vote yes.

This has been a very good stock for me in my real portfolio. I'm not really going on fundamentals with this pick (I bought it because it was a HG rec). I'm just taking advantage of the recent unnecessary pullback to start my CAPS position now.

ill short this all the way to 20. teen retailing is cut-throat. ZUMZ was "in" over the summer. will it be "in" in a year? dont think. short short short!

Got beaten too badly for their recent acquisition. Steady long term track record. They will manage

Results wednesday, upside expected

Kids love it!

I believe in buying local and the brand is well known. Economay may prove to be a resistance but summer and the 4th quarter are on their way. Not to mention I am bullish on recession news.

Good buy in price for a retailer that will grow over the next 5 years significantly.

Increased instittuional buying makes it look like it's finally on the way back. Still no debt and strong ROE ratings, still the leader in its niche Although earnings growth decelerated, they're still above 30%.
