A good post from Yahoo:
Let me tell you, it was quite an ordeal trying to get someone at LOEH to answer my simple question. All I wanted know was when will LOEH release their earnings. I called IR and left a message. Half day later, I didn't get a call back. I called LOEH again and ask for Tax Dept. The person in Tax wasn't sure when earnings will be out. He assumed maybe within the next 10 days. He then transferred me to the Controller's office. Get this, even the Controller doesn't know when earnings are out. I asked him is there anyone working in IR dept? He then transfered me to Robin Hall. As it turned out, Robin Hall works in Advertisement or Special Promotions. UUGGHHH!! Luckily, he was able to answer my question. Earnings will be out during the first two weeks of March. He asked that I call Morgan Walke (the outside agency that handles LOEH press releases) at 212 850-5600 to get a confirm date.
Anyway, I was able to chit chat with him for a few minutes. I asked him if insiders ever read this message board. He said occasionally, he gets print outs from someone in the office. I then advised him to read up on this board first hand. I even showed him how to get into Yahoo Finance. My next question to him was "will LOEH have an E-commerce?" Because of the confidentially of inside information, I will not reveal his answer. I will hint to you, however, we are in for a big surprise!!! Get it? (think positive) hehehe. I told him victoriassecret.com had a great debut on their on-line website. LOEH can do the same with fashion shows from Calvin Klein, Donna Karen, and etc via loehmanns.com website. Once viewers see the fashion show, they can shop on-line!!!
I had also suggested to him to have a LOEH sign at the front door of every LOEH store letting shoppers know that LOEH is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ with ticker symbol LOEH. This way, loyal shoppers will purchase the stock and promote LOEH to their friends. This will create word of mouth advertisement. Everyone knows Home Depot and Walmart are publicly traded companies. 95% of LOEH shoppers don't even know LOEH is a publicly traded company!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once they read the front door sign, those die hard LOEH shoppers will bid up the stock price. Thus, every shareholder will be happy to see their stock rise!!!!! As Peter Lynch from Fidelity Investments would say "buy the stock that you shop frequently." LOEH has THE most loyal shoppers of any stores I know. It would be a shame if Robin Hall does not take my advice. He did say that he's taking notes and passing it on to management. JUST DO IT!!! Oh, I just thought of something. LOEH can promote the stock via special promotion flyers that you get in the mail. You know, the upcoming sales event with coupons.
It sounds like Robin Hall will frequent this message board. So if you have any ideas or suggestions on improving LOEH operations, please post your concerns on this board, or call him at 718 409-2000. If you call him, let us know what you ask him and what was said. All you dead beat shareholders start doing some leg work. This is our company!! Go promote it!!
PS.
This company has so much potentials. With a little hand holding from customers and shareholders, this stock can easily triple from this level. At the present time, LOEH need to inform the shoppers that LOEH is a publicly traded company. LOEH needs to do a better job of public awareness and improving on shareholder value!! HELLO?!! I hope Robin Hall will at least implement the front door sign ASAP!!
Wow, great volume today!! |
