Hi Grabber, Re: URBN...................

Knowing that my favorite Clothier is Mill's Fleet and Farm, I hope
you will forgive me for not knowing much about the retail apparel
industry. It has been stated by the stock analysts that URBN's
'growth spurt' has come to an end. Sometimes these companies
manage to successfully reinvent themselves, sometimes not.

The Value Line "Highest Growth Stocks" list tends to be
retrospective in that it requires companies to have achieved a
solid 10 years of growth history across many accounting benchmark
targets. They then speculate that the trend will continue for
another 3-5 years. In the mean time I guess I'll have to let Mr.
Lichello handle the investment until such time as it falls from
VL's list.

Thanks for the comments; they are much appreciated as I'm almost
purely ignorant of the world of retail. URBN is one of ten
holdings in a specialized portfolio. The attempt was to not have
more than one holding in a single business category. That's part
of why URBN is there.
