In defense of Henry... RE:To make matters worst they are buying line items, items from a manufactuers line that he may have sold to Wet Seal, Urban outfitter> Mr. Rags will sell 'unisex' clothing. Hardly competition for Wetseal--who BTW has done quite well selling those 'low margin' clothes. RE: Last year CLE announced a 1 mil share buyback when the stock tanked. .... they never did it...It was a crock. No it wasn't, as reported this morning, they bought some 300,000 of the mil. Good luck. B.

Archie, I really regret not being able to see your face when you get to eat your short. Excerpted from the December 4, 1997 press release from Claire's Stores Inc: Year to date Monthly Sales (in 000s) FY 1998 $ 379,402 FY 1997 $ 331,754 Change 14% Research Analysts Earnings Estimates From Zacks: Consensus Estimate for current fiscal year (1/98) $ 1.20/share Consensus Estimate for next fiscal year (1/99) $ 1.41/share That sure does sound like a company in the process of "tanking". Regarding your suggestion that I read a newspaper instead of watching the evening news, how about Investors Business Daily, Barrons, and the New York Times. Perhaps that is why my sentences are lucid. You should try a dose of the medicine that you recommend. Regards, Henry
