CAPS Rating:

The Company operates the retail network of stores focuses in hunting, fishing, camping, marine and outdoor lifestyle products and services.

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.

Well, I'm going to make a gutsy call.

1) Gander Mountain's financials aren't really the best. They've reduced long-term debt but are still struggling with their current liabilities.

2) Bass Pro and Cabelas do have the majority of the market share, and are mega players with cu...More

Looks like it's going into bankruptcy... Haven't seen stats this bad in quite sometime. Thier only hope is to be bought, but that's most likely a long shot.

Recs 0 (GMTN) raycfong77 (< 20) Submitted: 5/31/08 11:03 PM : Start Price: $4.18 GMTN Score: -24.94 1) Salesman in hunting for southern stores is outstanding. They know guns, bows, ATV's, hunting, etc. better than best buys techs know TVs and Computers. I personally spend thousands of dollars here because of the great service, variety (and special order), and price. 2) They are still expanding and have much room for growth. Few stores in the midwest and none yet in western states. They pick good locations and blow away the competition in the area. 3) Insider buying has increased significantly, indicating excellent value and potential turnaround in performance. 4) Focus on a niche market that blows away Academy, Dick's, or Sports Authority for product selection and pricing in hunting,fishing,and firearms. On the downside, Gander needs better management of their stores to ensure they are making good margins and staffing is adequate. Sometimes, pricing is so good that I swear they have to be losing money on the sale. And in fact, they have been losing money in the past couple of quarters, but also remember more stores are coming up and it takes time for the new stores to make money. The wait for service can be silly at times because of other people that can't stop asking questions. Adequate staffing and efficient customer turnover needs some work... Some fundamental changes need to be made to improve reliable long term profits (Best Buy-like). At this P/S, it is difficult to not buy this for a long term hold because I see more upside than down at this point. If management figures this out, then it will be up up and away!
