Next few days should get interesting...

Short squeeze for EOM covering... anticipation of earnings... retail recovery... all point to rising share price IMO.

[rjhstock]

1.95 holding firm...

Consolidating slowly but surely.... keep your eye on the prize! Patience... short squeeze coming!!

[rjhstock]

Consolidation in mid-1.90's ...

Getting ready for EOM short squeeze blast off! Is your ticket punched??? ;)

[rjhstock]

Nice recovery happening the past 7 days...

IMO it's just getting started. Retail has been crushed as a group. I believe the whole sector has been unfairly "Amazoned". I know very few women who go to Amazon for clothes. As my daughter says, women need to touch, feel and try on clothes before buying... in a pleasant environment with reasonable prices. That is why I have invested heavily in the Stage brand of stores as they focus on an often left out segment of the population: the small town or mid sized city. The 11% dividend doesn't hurt either!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rjhstock]

Headwind at $2... once past it, blue skies!

Short squeeze coming end of month... $2 will be in rear view mirror.

[rjhstock]

Some whales buying at end of day...

Just saw $30K share buy at $1.99

[rjhstock]

SSI has the perfect niche...

...something Amazon can't touch... mid to small sized towns and city locations where there are very few malls or big box stores. This is NOT a mall store where malls are dying. And women HAVE TO TRY ON CLOTHS before buying. Plus, they offer top name fashionable brands at discount prices. I;ve been to their stores and they are NICE! Have patience... this retailer will survive the retail onslaught!

$4 here we come!!! ;)

[rjhstock]

Short sellers trying to sneak their small buys in below $2 ...

As Avatar says..... I SEE YOU ...

[rjhstock]

Hang on for the ride... End of month short squeeze comin'!

[rjhstock]

Blue skies once it goes past $2 !!!

Let the shorts get their due!!

[rjhstock]

60% buys / 40% sells over past 10 trading sessions...

Ya mon!

[rjhstock]

Huge buy at end of day last 5 minutes...

Someone knows what they're doing...

[rjhstock]

Shorts getting nervous... price consolidating 1.90's

This should be fun!!! ;)

[rjhstock]

Strong support in low 1.90's ...

Holding for move above $2 and the coming short squeeze!!

[rjhstock]

Getting ready for next leg higher...

Accumulate if you can! Price/Book = .14 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rjhstock]

Tempted to sell?... Don't!!!!!!

Buy the dips!!! This is headed higher but there will be some profit taking along the way. Shorts HAVE TO cover soon!!! Selling only helps them! Big support at 1.88

[rjhstock]

SSI - Tangible Book Value per Share = LTM 12.83

Just sayin'!!

[rjhstock]

Well, If I'm the only voice here, so be it!

Up 15% from lows this week. Holding many shares for big bounce to $2.50. Interesting stat:
They have 830 stores. Each store has approximatley 18,700 sq feet. With their current market cap at $56mil, that makes each store worth $67K!!!!!! That is CRAAAAAAZZZYY!!! $3.6 per square foot!!! DOUBLE CRAAAAAAAZY!!!!! Even though they have had a few rough quarters, they can close the doors tomorrow with $10/sh value!!

[rjhstock]

Huge buying sunami about to take place...

Huge buy order wall at 1.91... breakout to $2 plus coming....

[rjhstock]

Heading for golden cross... accumulation time!

I can feel it in my bones... ;)

[rjhstock]

Huge buy today around 1:30pm... over 250K shares!

Whales beginning to feed...

whale = big boys = institutional

[rjhstock]

volume increasing... price increasing...

I believe shorts are starting to cover and/or new positions are starting with those who want in at historic lows... explosion upwards could happen any day now.

[rjhstock]

Short covering days away...

Get in under $2

[rjhstock]

Whale nibbling today...

In a few weeks, you'll kick yourself for not getting in under $2. Thank me later... or thank me now if you bought $1.70's ;)

[rjhstock]

... going..........up......

Plenty of time to get in..... but hurry up....

[rjhstock]

Did I mention... 11% divvy??!!! What's not to like here??!!

30% short interest ... can you say short burn explosion?! Get in before the blast upwards!! Thank me later.

[rjhstock]

Retailers are bottomed... SSI among them

If I'm the only voice crying in the wilderness here for SSI, so be it. Buffett ... you know... the trader gazillionnaire... says "buy when no one wants it". I'm taking his advice wholeheartedly with SSI. These beaten down gems don't come along everyday. I see gains staring me in the face!! Priced at 1/5th book value?????? PULEEEEZE! No-brainer!!!!!!! Just my honest opinion.

[rjhstock]

the climb has begun...

... the pace will quicken when shorts get the message real soon that they made their dirty money and it's time to cover. I believe with the improving economy and job increases that 2nd qtr earnings will beat estimates. The stores I have visited and observed had steady stream of customers. Stores were clean with friendly staff, and they all just had a good feel about them with brand name selections, sales and great prices. Long and strong!

[rjhstock]

Accumulate!!!!!!!!!

[rjhstock]

Don't worry about the sideways drift and walls...

The same folks and institutions that are selling and shorting will be the same folks and institutions buying and covering in the not too distant future. Thank me later.

[rjhstock]

Patience is key....

Keep your eye on the prize! This stock is selling at .14 BOOK!!! 30% short interest... they will cover! Buy low sell high!!

[rjhstock]

Frying pan getting warm for shorts... ;)

Get in folks before the camp fire!!

[rjhstock]

Get in under $2 before short covering ...

Thank me later...

[rjhstock]

I feel a short burn coming ...

... Getting marshmallows out.... Perhaps a s'more-fest abrewin'?? ;)

[rjhstock]

Accumulating in the 1.70's

This IS going back to $2 plus. Valuations are crazy low at these prices!! Shorts have destroyed this. Easy money here... JMHO

[rjhstock]

Okay, bring it down more shorts...

Locked and loaded to see your arses scorched. Price/book now .14
Price/sales = .03 !!!!!
Shorts days are numbered...

[rjhstock]

Cannot wait for the short burn!!!!

You un-American bastards!!!

[rjhstock]

caught the low today at 1.81... that doesnt happen often for me!

... i believe the real move up happens in a few weeks. I am accumulating big time NOW... ;)

[rjhstock]

Standstill at 1.83. Bottom in? I believe so!!

[rjhstock]

Gotta love the analysts...

They make it sound like Amazon will be the only retailer left!! when this retail downturn is over, SSI will remain. Don't they have wives?? Women NEED to shop and TRY ON cloths!! It's in their blood! ha

Remember, SSi is not mall based and cater to mostly mid-west/small town America. The perfect niche. Stores are clean, with well priced and fashionable merch, and their online presence is growing. Check it out: www.stage.com

[rjhstock]

Rocket ship ready for blast off...

Level 2 showing strong support at 1.81. Shorts days are numbered. This is NOT a $49mil market cap company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rjhstock]

Accumulating more!

When shorts cover, this will be a rocket ship. 35% short interest!!!

[rjhstock]

CEO bought $50K worth of shares Friday...

Follow the money......................

[rjhstock]

Market Cap $51 Mil !!!

You mean to tell me 830 stores are worth $61,500 each?????? Folks... buy op of life time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rjhstock]

Economy is picking up...

More jobs = more available cash = increased spending = retail rebound.

JMHO

[rjhstock]

Price/Book = .15 !!!!!!!!

Industry avg is about 20!!! This is a STEAL at 1.89 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rjhstock]

No conviction on this sell off...

This is short manipulation, plain and simple. I'm buying this dip big time. When the squeeze happens, I'll be ready! Guess I'm the only one on this board seeing this?? Anyone?

[rjhstock]

The CEO just bought more shares...

Insiders keep buying. Price/book is under 1. I went to three Peebles stores and took my daughter. She is a fashionista of sorts and has worked in retail. Said the store is fantastic and carries quality clothing at affordable prices. The stores were neat, clean with friendly staff. It was a Wednesday afternoon on July 5th and you would expect an empty store.... not so!! Though not packed, the cashiers were busy with customers and a few people were entering every 5 minutes avg. And the store I was in that day is in timbuktoo!! I was amazed at the sales and the quality of displays and clothing. It is a niche department store somewhat, but my daughter likened it to an upscale Kohls.

All that being said, I bought more at 1.94 and 1.97. This company WILL rebound IMO!! Economy is picking up. Christmas is a short ways away. Buy now before the climb back to $4 plus!!

[rjhstock]

Sounds like good news for a change... I think SSI will break out soon. IMO it is way oversold, even in this harsh retail environment.

[rjhstock]

Huge buy at end of day... Happy St Pats day for sure!

Buyout??? Merger??? Anyone out there???
