Have you ever been in a WIN? Wow, those places are trash. Walmart will eat them alive in the same markets if they come through with those 45,000 square foot stores.

I concur with aj and you on WIN. We sold to them so I had a chance to visit their operations in the Southeast. WIN have some of the worst stores I have ever been in on almost every level. It looked like most agreed as they were empty except for a few grannies wondering around with their hand baskets. Not very well run from a head office standpoint either. Employee morale was awful too, that's usually a tell-tale sign. We also sold to Publix, their main competition in the markets I visited. Their stores were beautiful and full to gills with shoppers. I think WIN is done.

09:58 ET UNTD and ELNK seen as benefiting from AOL defections -- Jefferies : Firm believes that despite the run up in United Online (UNTD 23.29 +0.29) share price, valuation remains attractive. Price target $30. Must be that PE of 95. -g/ng Multex has them trading at 17 times free cash flow, which would be reasonable except that it all seems to be depreciation. They've never had positive net income during a fiscal year, going back to 1998.
