I wouldn't want anyone back who's wedded to a business model that's gone with the wind. They have the ingredients for a turnaround--plenty of cash, and locations, locations, locations--nearly 6,000 in 29 countries....not including the Target centers they wisely ditched. Far more than BBY has.
If they can learn how to sell the "a bird in the hand is worth two online" idea, they may pull it off. .... Ads that show disappointed customers opening a package to see that what they got wasn't what they ordered, and then having to tromp to the P.O. to return it (closed on Saturdays? Have to take time off during the week?). We like instant gratification---kick the tires and then drive it off the lot.
Being a first time commenter doesn't mean anything one way or another. I don't know how good you've been at this, but assuming you've done well, there was a time when your comments were brand new. Don't set up a straw man argument based on experience. Name calling isn't useful either. Instead, why don't you post your "very good data," and go from there. Start with RSH's cash position, please?
You're not the only investor touting the potential value of RSH. Tim Stabosz who occasionally comments on these pages is very high on the stock and said so at its bottom. He is particularly impressed with their cash position. Even should they flame out in the longer run, they are well positioned for a turnaround. It's a nugget the market will soon discover when RSH finally gets its act together.
Risk? Yes of course, there's always risk--nothing is a sure thing. But those who dump on a stock like this because they're disaffected former employees or losers on the downside run the risk of being like the folks who pulled out of equities in early 2009 and missed the ride back up.
PE Values: Investors Do Not Get All The "E" [View article]
Well, stockholders do not capture the profits *right now.* Your long view does not take into account the fact that this stock is undervalued and due for one heck of a bounce that will dwarf the dividend issue.
Jaguar Mining: The Standby Loan Is Not A Sign Of Strength [View article]
I sure wouldn't attack the DD an otherwise reputable financier has done as an ipso facto sign of weakness. Financiers take risks but most of the time they come out just fine and taking those risks isn't a cause for alarm. If there's gold in them thar' hills and the pickax ain't too expensive, this one will make its investors a coupla doubloons.

I've had a similar problem--my own posts sometimes don't make it, but not that often. The problem I have is that from time to time I can't hit "View Messages" and see the latest posts of a particular poster I like very much (the man's value picks have been solid). So for days at a time I can't see his posts.
What I can do to find them is visit the boards for stocks I know he follows and find his posts that way. That's hit or miss though and I'm more interested in new stocks he discusses than in the old ones he's discussed before....although the latter are important too because he may have discovered something new about them.
Experience shows that after a week or two access to his posts comes back, but the blackout period is maddening. I've written to Yahoo help about this, but they thank me nicely and don't address the problem.
