Aside from hot-air, anything in stores for Valentines-Day?
Or is this the usual delay...with again, silence from Mr. Pity, who served TWO terms in the clinker, but hasn't told us about the first one.
Having extensive knowledge in both wholesale and retail, I can say with strong conviction (oops, oh how that word "conviction" just rolls off the tongue when referring to Steven Zale) that no major department store (like Macy's) or no major jewelry chain (like Kay's Jewelers) would take in merchandise this late for V-Day selling.
But again, the brilliant loyal longs who have stayed the course will make excuses and think this is OK. This becomes another entry point for them to purchase additional shares. Which I am hoping the Zuppets did and will do, as I wouldn't want them to have to "chase" this stock later.
And how long do the sweat equity people hang on only getting worthless shares of restricted stock when there are no sales and no money? This company is run by fools. The longer they stay the worse they look to their friends and family. Their family didn't buy into their vision of greed. Treat them nice this Valentine's Day with flowers or candy but certainly not jewelry. And when I say candy, I am not referring to a bag of M&M's. Apologize with class. Get them an overpriced box of Godiva chocolates. And please don't sign your Hallmark Valentine's Day card with a crayon. Buy a sweet little Tiffany sterling silver pen and include that with the chocolates.
Stockholders can't even sue Zalemark as it would be futile...there is no money left. But I'll go out on a limb and say the loyal Zuppets will be thoroughly reading the next set of financial statements. They certainly haven't done that in the past.
