To All, I live in Florida and have no PBY's close by. I'm wondering about the competative issues between PBY and AZO. PBY has had profit margins of only 5.3%, while AZO has had 7.3%. I'd like to know if this difference is due to PBY selling same quality stuff cheaper, or if they simply have a higher cost structure. I hear PBY's stores are large, so I wonder if they are like a HD or WMT, who high value merchandise, and undercut everyone. Any opinions on this, or other competative aspects between AZO and PBY. BTW, I'm holding off until earnings time gets close, when I suspect many fund managers might lighten positions until AZO's earnings horizon becomes more visable. Thanks, and looking forward to the comments, Ariel-
