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.

A. Look @ this moment on what's happening
now. I like the now. I learn from the
past, but you have to look forward in
this game. Why don't you do a press
date search of market times of them 2
tops and try to see what is different or
similar to what we're going through
right now. Techs love this crap. I
like to use both. I don't rely on 1
tool. I rely on several tools. Right
now, we are in a slow down, and the $
was lower 12yrs ago, than it's today.
Tech has brought in so much slack to
make us efficient and productive. Ships
are moving out with our wares. It used
to be they left empty. Our economy is
changing & we must learn to be dynamic.
We all can. We have the basic fundies
to learn, thus we can teach ourselves
new skills.
