Scott:
I can't help but feel that FEET is a terrific buy at 21 something. After all, as Mark Heath says in his reply to you, same store sales are up 16%, which is incredibily high. The analysts expected FEET to earn 64 cents for the year ended Jan. 31st and it actually came in at 68 cents. That is a PE of about 32 (at a price of 21.625). The prediction for the coming year is 94 cents, which is a PE of only 23 (at a price of 21.625). That is an increase of 38% in earnings. If we assume the PE should be 38 to match the growth rate, then the price of FEET should be 36 right now.
I don't think there is much chance that FEET is going to fall short of that mark since they have consistently beat the earnings predictions and seem to be going gangbusters. I also have trouble believing that FEET could fall any further because is seems unbelievable that such a strong grower could drop below the entire market PE average.
The only reason I don't buy more is that I am already heavily weighted towards FEET (approximately 75% of my portfolio). I am considering buying options a few months out as a way of trying to catch a ride up without having to put out a lot of money. Is anyone else on this thread speculating in FEET options?
