against the retail tide, page-5

Yeah, I agree with all that has been posted. I was relieved to unload WES last Thurs for high 18's....60c profit might not seem like much to some but it helps pay the bills.

If WOW are:

recession proof by nature of their product,
well-managed,(plus subtly cautious & self-reflective)
in a minimal debt situation,
expanding with more stores in difficult times,

and their major competitor (for obvious debt-related reasons) isn't looking too flash,

then maybe they will continue to modestly swim against the tide; especially if the doom and gloom continues this week against the Obama-hope factor backdrop.....safety-first is the new catch-cry of 2009. Still a lot of money out their to return to the share-market; I just think some of it might be going the WOW-way.
