PSS/clothes: I've not followed PSS closely enough to have confidence to add. Sold some, still holding about half of a very small position. I have added to SKX recently and will add more if stock will fall further on no adverse news. (Maybe TIF too, if it'll drop a couple of points, also on no adverse news)

I currently have positions in these clothing/clothing-related companies:

(Biggest clothing retailer might be WMT. I have shares.)
================
No more custom shirts and custom-made Italian suits for me: I'm a Costco guy now. lol.

Shoe related stocks continue to get stomped. Foot Locker lowers view and drops 40%:

reuters.com

That seems to have affected other shoe retailers. I'll up my small [t]PSS[/t] (<span style='font-size:11px'>LAST</span>: 5.0<span style='font-size:11px'> 11/21/2008 10:53:34 AM</span>) position a little now - just a few shares - and add a few shares to [t]SKX[/t] (<span style='font-size:11px'>LAST</span>: 9.38<span style='font-size:11px'> 11/21/2008 10:53:31 AM</span>) too.

[t]FL[/t] (<span style='font-size:11px'>LAST</span>: 4.36<span style='font-size:11px'> 11/21/2008 10:53:41 AM</span>) doesn't look too bad a current price. In some ways, better than PSS. Unlike PSS, FL has more cash than debt. Both companies profitable every year in past ten.
