I guess they are dressing up over there at Yahoo in women's clothing. If you want a women's opinion of ANN or the more expensive Talbot's.....if I'm going to dress up I want to look like a woman, not like a woman dressed up like a guy. Of course, its been a while since I had to dress for the cubicle or the board room, its the best thing about working for yourself....you write your own dress code.

sorry, i mis-understood. thought you were talking about Yahoo! the stock, not the stats for ANN on Yahoo!. yes, ANN does have +/- $20/share of book-value. but about half of that is goodwill (which arose from a prior acquisition). one could argue (and obviously i would be "one") that since ANN as a matter of course generates no cash and earns a return on capital that is less than its cost of capital, that "goodwill" really has no value and will be written off in due course. thus my price target of single digits. cheers
