Member Avatar Staka (98.55) Submitted: 7/24/2011 11:39:12 AM : Outperform Start Price: $13.71 FRED Score: +7.12

Positive:
- Cheap based on fundamentals (but with low margins and low earnings power)
- Clean balance sheet
- A somewhat defensive stock

Negative:
- Store restructuring program so far has not improved sales
- Chart just below a long-term resistance zone around $14.50
