BGFV: "Established a small position back when". Which is better than me, Asymmetric. I only have kept it on my watch list.

Okay, Asymmetric, it's about two years later for BGFV, and this sporting goods retailer has come down in price to where I'll start to buy. Big Five profitable every year past ten; now sells for relatively low p/sales, low p/stated bv, relatively low p/e, okay (in my view) d/e. Profit margins now not so good compared to past years. I'm hoping the stock will have another good run again, eventually. finance.yahoo.com Fwiw, in sporting-goods retail sector, I am holding DKS (Dick's), Cabela's at breakeven (I like the hunting/fishing/camping focus), and HIBB (Hibbett Sports), a losing position. I like Hibb's specialized focus/involvement in small communities.
