Q: Does anyone in particular come to mind?

A: Exstein: Clearly, a company like Bon-Ton Stores (BONT), which made a major acquisition two years ago and financed it all with debt, is now suffering with a very leveraged balance sheet. A leveraged buyout that has gone sour is Mervyn's, a department-store chain. What you are now seeing, particularly with the old-line department stores, is about survival and thinking about the balance sheet first and the P&L second.

With Bon-Ton's share price down to under $6 from $57 last spring, Wall Street is worried whether the York, Pa., retail chain will make it. Bon-Ton now has a market value of just $100 million, versus estimated debt of $1.2 billion at the end of January -- fourth-quarter financial results haven't been released yet. Bon-Ton bet the company on a $1 billion debt-financed purchase in 2006 of Carson Pirie Scott and other chains from Saks, and that deal looks like a loser. The bad news is that Bon-Ton's same-store sales have been weak, including an 11% drop in December. Bon-Ton earned nearly $3 a share in 2006, but it may have operated close to breakeven last year. The good news is that cash flow is comfortably above interest payments and Bon-Ton isn't burning cash. Assuming vendors continue to allow Bon-Ton to finance its inventories, there appear to be no near-term risks to its survival. Given a sizable base of short sellers, Bon-Ton stock could rally on any hint of good news. Safer choice: J.C. Penney.

If you have a huge contrarian bend and you’re bullish the consumer, look at Bon-Ton (BONT) says Karen Finerman. However, personally, I'm not bullish the consumer.

From Barron's 7-2-07:

"Another pick, Bon-Ton Stores, a department-store chain that he still favors, has nearly tripled. An orthodox stockpicker, Siris is not."

Q. I think that you've got to be lo...
12.03.09 | 21:01 PM Asked by DogBones

A. " I think that you've got to be
long here, despite the imminent monthly
jobs number."

um...yeah...youre correct...except you
can replace the comma above with one big
giantic period. The Fed (world
banks/govts) are practically holding a
gun to everyones head FORCING them to
take on risk (buy assets) - hands down
that trumpts any argument anywhere about
anything... Benanke made that very clear
weeks ago... yet the very obvious weekly
head fakes continues.

Who would want to fight the Fed here?
None of us retail folks should be
selling based on bogus scares (like ANY
bad numbers, Dubia, or any of the many
LAME reasons we've heard since August),
unless that selling is part of our plan.
I dont know why everyone is mincing
words (even Cramer, although today he
was a tiny bit more explicit). Just say
it!!! "There are absolutely no
reason to be afraid of the market,
people must escape falling currencies by
purchasing assests!!!"...which is
exactly what the Fed wants...when the
dust settles, JOBS WILL BE CREATED...at
least that appears to be the plan...The
Fed is at "DEFCON 1", an
election year is coming up...They are
forcing some stuff to be fixed here;
attacking from all sides; you will be
swashed trying to get in their way...at
least thats how I see right now (lol). I
do not know if things will work out for
them (Great Depression II?), but so far
theres nothing showing it will not. USA
rocks!!!

lol...I probably shouldnt be saying this
today; jinxing myself; because Im
expecting tomorrow is quiet or down (not
UP!!!!), so I can get grab some
goodies...I really shouldnt be
advertising how bogus it is...but yeah,
I cant really see anyone SERIOUSLY being
anti-long anywayz, so its not like
breaking news (lol).

To answer your question(s), my guess is
the numbers will be SPUN so that Friday
is a bad day ...just like the most of
the Fridays...lol...I am amazed that
such trickery works each week...but youd
better get ur shorts/inverses outta
there quick, cause you know what happens
next...same old story...even though I am
cant see this trickery working anymore
Fridays for the rest of the year.

Have Fun!
