HI Kirk, In Appleton Wisconsin there is a Under Armor outlet store in an outlet Mall. $30.00 running shirts for $18.00. I bought what should be a 10 year supply of them as like you mentioned they never seem to wear out. UA was the first to use whicking technology fabrics. Once you have one of those - you'll throw a way any cotton clothing. Nike soon followed with their Dry Fit line which is also very good quality. I have some very nice UA hunting pants and turtle neck layered clothing for winter hunting. It was 22 degrees this morning in Wisconsin and I had all I own on plus some more.LOL I also see a lot of it at Mills Fleet Farm stores. Bob

As you show on your long term chart, the stock had already fallen into the high teens by Feb of this year! I have not looked into their fundamentals, so I have to be cautious about making comments at this stage. To say the least, UA would not be the first company to put out excellent products and still struggle (or fail) as a business. I know very little about the clothing industry but, at a distance, it seems that UA rode up on the momentum of good products and media hype but haven't been able to calm investor's fear of the long term demise of traditional retail.
