tdl, This msg really had nothing to do with your previous post. I want to bring up a new subject. One thing I've never been able to figure out on SI is how to enter a new subject without responding to someone else's message. . . Does anybody know anything about the Men's Wearhouse(cute ticker symbol--SUIT). It's an "off-price" retailer of men's suits. The co. president does his own irritating commercials: "You're gonna like the way you look. I GUARANTEE it!" I think they're mainly in the South so maybe you folks in other parts of the country have never seen it. The co. doesn't look at first glance like a short. PE is 30 but revenues and profits are growing nicely(reportedly, anyway). They beat estimates last quarter. What brought it to my attention was that there's been a huge jump in short interest the last month. A quick check shows massive insider selling the last year. Especially by the guy that does the commercials. Took a 1 1/2 pt hit today. Anybody know anything?
