RSC decimated today and nary a comment on the thread. Looks like an overreaction to me.

<<Dayton, Ohio, Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Rex Stores Corp. shares
fell 49 percent after the retailer said same-store sales rose
just 1 percent in November and December because of lower prices
and sales for older products.

The shares fell 15 to 15 7/8 in trading of 3.84 million,
more than 32 times the three-month daily average. It had the
second-biggest percentage decline in U.S. markets.

The electronics and appliance retailer said strong holiday
sales of video-disk players and TVs with screens of 35 inches or
more couldn't make up for declining demand for older, analog
equipment, such as 20-inch TVs and video-cassette recorders.

Dayton, Ohio-based Rex, which has 239 stores in 35 states,
said it plans to focus more on digital products including
satellite systems and camcorders.>>
