    Retail has been exceptionally strong these past 6 weeks. WES has risen just over 30% from the $20 mark. I was thinking of opening a short-sell on David Jones (DJS) when i thought.... what about WES?? i rang a friend who uses COMMSEC and got the consensus EPS for FY09 and FY10. EPS for 09 is estimated at $1.74 and falls substantially to $1.24 for FY10. That puts WES on a high PE IMO for a company enduring cuts in coal prices and strong competition from WOW etc.
    Final div next month is to be cut to 50c from previous $1.34/share. All-in-all i can't see how WES can keep climbing so short-sold some today at $26.34.
    Do readers reckon there is plenty upside left in WES or has the SP run-its-race for the time being? def DYOR
