Art, I know what you mean. I added some yesterday at a buck, hoping it would bounce like it did last time. My apologies to the rest of you for that <ggg> I certainly don't have a crystal ball, but AMES is about all that is left in the Northeast that is AMES like.. Caldor is gone. Bradlees is gone. I don't claim to be a marketing strategist, or anything like that, but it seems to me it is now an all or nothing position. IF AMES can somehow survive until the economy does improve, I think their traditional customer base will spend their money at AMES rather than elsewhere, and profits will return. Seems to me they have always had the best prices for comparable items among the discount department stores around here. The other Art can better speak to the question of what it will take for them to weather the storm. Dan
