KSully: Do you work for TCBG?

Think you have a part in the Race Car promotion! It is just a
bit suspicious that you became a member of SI on Aug. 11th, 1998
and like racing. I prefer that TCBG races the products in the
stores instead!
I can see it now, DO Seidman LLP CPA went to
look for the books and oh my gosh they were in the car that caught
on fire! Oops!!!

Time will tell us all!

Thanks KSully,

I agree that TCBG is on-track with learning the ropes of creating a cool new product. I mainly hope they are progressing forward on the IR and press release accuracy front. Jon mustn't allow quoted press release statements that will 'become accurate next week if all goes as expected'. This is destructive.

Also, the latest press release had the statement 'as appeared on Emerging...' which came across as grandiose, self-generated fluff to me. I have noted the embellished wording in TCBG press releases all along, laughing at first. I'd prefer they come across more understated and soundly. I wonder who is writing them? Approving them?

Press release accuracy is my only ongoing complaint regarding TCBG. I like everything else I see. Alot.

I think I'm catching onto why groups of complainers every so often converge on a thread, too. I used to think it was just to bid down the stock price because they were shorting the stock. This time I'm starting to think it's more likely to bid down the stock a little to create low-price entry points for themselves, in anticipation of upcoming stock activity. Cool. It'll be interesting to watch.

Shoe.
