Any chance this company survives?
I'm not a conspicuous consumer but I tend to go there instead of BBuy.
Huge volume there, is that good volume?

I'm surprised you go there. I've found that BestBuy usually has better prices, has a better return policy, and in general is more user-friendly. I don't expect them to survive.
My only regret is that I covered my CC short 15 points ago.

No and No (i was in the industry).

Someone here said yesterday they are closing 150 stores. I think they will survive. They too will ask for a "Bailout" 
They have 45,885 Full Time employees according to yahoo finance.
Being unemployed is one thing, but if many of these employees have their 401k tied up in their company stock then, that would be bad, real bad.
I can see we are going to need the "stimulus"

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

I guess I like the people at my store vs the kids at BB. I got some great values lately,
small HDTV, two laptops. I hope they can reinvent themselves.
But I'm still mad at them for selling me a BETA in 1982.
