I'm short this one. Earnings tomorrow. AEO posted really crappy earnings and guidance today too. That seems to have started the ball rolling on ANF this morning.

That's one psycho stock.

It's the "Broadcom" of the specialty retailers.

Totally untradeable, might as well roll the dice in Vegas.

That thing could gap up or down $5 after earnings, who knows??

Flip a coin.

Chances are heavily down. Chart, Fundamentals, etc. They sell expensive clothing , that is loosing the "cool factor". Their competitors like AEO are suffering too. They are closing stores left and right to manage inventory. This isn't a growing business.

My teenage girl went shopping for her back to school clothing yesterday with a couple friends .... None of them bought a single item from ANF or Hollister. When I asked her why, she said "Meh.", Which combined with the facial expression indicated a complete indifference to either brand. ... Consider it "scientific research" on my part :)
