At least a few people here made good money on Hollywood Entertainment a couple of years back after it was discussed here under $3 (perhaps it was at $1-2) because the stock subsequently rose to over $15.

I see from a Reuters 5/22 story that, "...James Chanos of Kynikos Associates said investors should short video retailers Blockbuster (NYSE:BBI - News), Hollywood (NasdaqNM:HLYW - News) and Netflix (NasdaqNM:NFLX - News)..."

Perhaps the model for these retailers is now broken? I ask because I bring to your attention another in the sector, TWMC:

biz.yahoo.com

The stock's at $3.20 with $5/sh. in cash and very little debt (according to Yahoo, and I haven't looked at lease commitments, if any).

I see there's a large buyback plan that was announced today.

Anyone here have an opinion to share on the sector or stock?
