-18.00% MID
Sr. Analyst

This is a good company with a great and brand new financial system. It's mid-summer so nobody is buying Teddy Bears but in the next  6 months Christmas comes and all those little kids want some toys! Also, at the same time it appears that the worst of the financial crisis is behind us. I'm buying with about 15% of portfolio. Cheers!

Do you think the current up tick is due to the stock buy back or a real turn around? I worry that a prolonged weak economy will hit BBW like it hit SBUX....Its great to give your kid a 9 million dollar custom made stuffed animal as a present, but is it really necessary with 4.00 a gallon gas?

Gas might be 4.00 a gallon but that kid wrapped around its mothers leg screaming for a bear it won't matter much. Plus this attitude of more is better is still around in the US, its just hiding its face for a bit. Plus I think BBW is valued far far under its normal range right now for no reason other than the crisis.
I'm not saying this is a short term play. It could take 6 months, or it might take a couple years. Ill hate myself if it takes that long though. Cheers!
