There is at least one of us out here. I can not understand how this
this stock could be this low. With steady, increasing earnings you
would think that VANS would be at least $15. I hear the new skate park in Orange is a great success. The kid across the street loved it and wanted to buy some shoes. Hope someone does.

Good to see people are still around here. Vans is having problems with the current oversupply of sport shoes (overcapacity is endemic throughout retail) and has warned of an earnings slowdown next year. Still it's hard to believe that such a powerful global brand is worth only $80 million. A possible lift would be provided if they got their website to sell directly (rumored to be next spring).
