- here's my thoguhts on HRC which are mostly positive:

- on Al Frank’s newsletter & his mutual fund's #6 holding; which is good b/c his fund focuses on value has low turnover of 30%
- part of s&p 500
- including goodwill, $3.6 bill in stockholders equity/400 mill shs o/s = $9 book value. Stock at $12.20
- seem to have profits of about $.80/share a year. But w/ all the impairments, sales, etc... going on, it's hard to say
- lot of financing at higher interest rates. But I see they just did $500 mill in sep '01 which will they say will be used to pay down debt; which I hope means lower interest expnese
- int expense of about $200 mill a year. Imagine if they could bring this down especially since net income only about $200 mill a year
- doing lots of cheezy deals w/ GNC & others to take advantage of their captive audiences & raise profits
- excellent coverage by goldman sachs & others
