DESCRIPTION:

Date updated:08-14-2007

Prentice Capital was started by 2 former SAC Capital traders, Michael Zimmerman and Jonathan Duskin. The firm started in May, 2005 and was funded with $400mm, primarily from Stevie Cohen’s SAC. They tend to focus on the retail sector, are buy and hold investors, and could take controlling stakes. Currently they significant stakes in retail companies such as The Wet Seal, Inc., KB Toys, Inc., and Goody's Family Clothing. Noteworthy is that Wet Seal has also been a big SAC position, signaling that perhaps SAC piggybacks Prentice positions.

If your grandparents were thoughtful
enough to provide you with funds to
become actively involved in the
trading/investing world, communicate
with them on a regular basis in order to
compare their point of view/insight with
other reliable sources . . . including
those reflected on Online School @

Be open/flexible, resourceful, and
pursue due diligence (research). Best of
luck.
