<<From a technical standpoint, are you not rushing things a little on PLCE? >>

I am sure that I am. I don't know technicals. I know that PLCE is a pretty good business that over LONG periods of time grows and produces a lot of cash. I know it has bottomed out at 5-6x cash flow twice before (late 1997 and early 2000), and it is at 6.4x now. I know that i am short a number of retailers that trade at 15-30x cash flow so PLCE is an excellent hedge for me. I've followed the stock for 5 years and have made good money in it off of both the prior bottoms.

So yeah I am probably early but in the context of MY portfolio, time horizon, and experience it makes sense here. I'm not sure in an un-hedged portfolio that i would want to be naked long ANY retailers right now.

Cheers
