The Book 2 Bill number just came out at .87...slowly but steadily moving towards 1. Over that level indicates expansion. Would expect to see some positive spin given to this number tomorrow. 10% sequential pickup in bookings from Jan to Feb.

FRED- Mike, researching FRED I don't see the makings of a nationwide roll-out. They opened 32 stores last year and just 2 last quarter. From what I see they are destined to remain a regional retailer. Nothing wrong with that but at current levels I don't see the attraction. On a side note, I also think that markets are being overstored with Fred's concept. One must think that the economic expansion that started in 1982 is still in place. I don't think it is although it's getting harder to prove my point. LOL! Joe
