    Jos. A. Bank Clothiers (JOSB) leaks that "net income for fiscal year 2012 is expected to be approximately 20% lower than net income for fiscal year 2011," just a week before the end of the FY. CEO R. Neal Black says Q4 went slowly, impacted by Hurricane Sandy, unseasonable warmth and "distractions" from the presidential election and fiscal-cliff talks. Despite disappointing Y/Y results, the quarter and year will be "very profitable."

  • Archman -- my thoughts exactly. I am amazed this company survives when they have to throw these crazy promotions so frequently.

  • Well, $JOSB is Bernanke's suit seller of choice: ""I've got a D.C. driver's license, my American Express card, a debit card, a Jos. [A.] Bank card where I get my suits, I have a health insurance card. And then I have a variety of other cards, phone numbers, United Airlines, frequent flyer. And I have $45...$75...$85. I'm all set."

  • I don't know how I got on their mailing list but I get at least two emails a day for "sales". I'm afraid to take myself off the email list, as I would then verify a valid email address. Then I'd get 10 emails a day.
