lf,

Why is the July quarter seasonally strong? I could see it being a little better than April or October, but I dont get why its so profitable. Two years back they had a huge July quarter..I think it was over .80/share, greater than January.

Is there some expense item that is much lower in the July quarter?

Taking a quick glance, the upcoming Oct quarter is usually weak...similar to April. Do you think they have a chance at profitability, or at least vast improvement over the April numbers (ex the insurance gain)? The August sales numbers were fine, but a bit dissapointing given the huge Same Store sale improvements in May June July.

Best 'O' Duck to ya.
