Re: Is Warren Stephens resting on his laurels, here? 
I think perhaps he got into this as a long shot and
is prepared to use it to offset gains in his portfolio.
I sure hope you have enough gains to offset a total
loss. I bet if you...

Re: CPWM needs to be sold to Pier 1 NOW!
There are many things that could and should be done
in the interest of shareholders. Unfortunately the
company is being run by a CEO that...

Two distinct ineffficient businesses
We continue to try and run a consumables and a home
trend under one roof. We clearly do not have the scale
to compete against Trader Joes and Pier 1 imports
which each run ONE DISTINCT efficient business. Since
I don't think we...

New SEC filing. The real concern is that RM and Stephens
have not bot at these low prices.

Re: The Vandenberg shares are probably gone.
So now we need Franklin, Royce, and Dimensional to
start a massive selling program so that we can load
up on cheap shares.

Tax credit of 13 million
Use it to terminate management and hire a new team
that has the experience to pull off what Pier 1 has
done. PIR shares have increased 60 fold since its
low of 10 cents.

Late reporting
No wonder the stock is tanking. They usually report
mid November. I think they need to say why they are
late this year. Transparency is indicated.

Re: Stupid Strategy
Why are they waiting all the way to December to report?
Is it so bad they want some reason to comment on holiday
sales in hopes we'll all forget about Q3? Many

Stupid Strategy
In my opinion the strategy of keeping as many stores
as possible and sparsely stocking them due to limited
liquidity is stupid. Both Pier 1 and Trader Joes.

Re: Short interest has dropped DRAMATICALLY
So you don't think the current high price is a
result of the short covering. A high short position
is bullish. Without shorts where will the demand to
buy this stock come from?

Re: More capital needed

I think they will need to raise 80 million to pay off
the credit line by year end. They should contact their
large holders and offer say 80 million shares at a
buck. Although it would dilute current...

Re: Pier 1 bid
Many of the large holders of CPWM also hold PIR. Pier

Pier 1 bid
Last year they offered .6 PIR shares for each CPWM
share. Based on PIR price of $4.60, CPWM should be
at $2.76. Put the deal back on the table while the
street is in love with Pier 1.
