i think that is a huge risk paul. I would say that over the past couple of years ive bought 95% of my clothes either from online discounters, clearance racks at the local outlets, or from Marshalls. now with the new technologies where people can comparison shop while in the store it will be harder and harder for stores to generate profits unless they have exclusive desirable products. In my local mall it seems that shopppers have declined significantly from prior years and many stores including the mcdonalds has closed. The one retail stock i regret not purchasing in 2009 was urbn.

Latest shoe fad: "FiveFinger" shoes. A little too outre for me. I'll have to warm to to the look. Not to mention again get used to wearing shoes without socks. cnbc.com\|headline\|quote\|text\|&par=yahoo Meanwhile, I assume Skecher's is reducing undesirable inventory levels of its past recent fad, "Shape-Ups". It's been in this overstock situation before, and the business and stock have recovered. I assume it will be so again. With SKX stock at 9-10 p/e and near a 12-mo low, I've added a few more shares to my position. On p/e basis, stock is cheapest of all the well-known footwear manufactures that I'm seeing. finance.yahoo.com
