KM -- GTW: No doubt. Jenna and I had a conversation about precisely that issue some weeks ago -- the risks of taking on the expense of this retail buildout and overhead. The truly depressing thing about GTW's story right now is that they've built these stores and have put a lot of resources into developing the retail channel, and yet suffered this shortfall because holiday demand just isn't there. It's scary to see this heavy investment in retail right at the end of the most overwhelming consumption cycle in human history. We all know the consumer orgy has to come to an end sooner rather than later -- the level of consumer debt makes that obvious -- but it looks like GTW is learning it the hard way.
