Borders is down but not out. The share price has taken a severe beating. I liked them in the $.35 range, and without too much further to go at $.63 foresee a pop on earnings.

Borders is underperforming for a big company in this sector. Recent pick up of the web site from AMZN will likely add to turn around and bring BGP into the internet marketplace more vigorously where it was lacking which should increase it's competitiveness. It is a bargain now, the question is do you believe that BGP can turn things around and grow. I do.

U.S. stocks closed broadly higher Monday, ending a three-day losing run, as a strong housing report reassured investors’ faith in the economy. A weak dollar helped lift gold to another record high and sent shares of commodity-related companies higher. Calls for central banks around the world to continue stimulus measures also hurt the dollar even as speculation grew that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates at a record low. <>On Monday, the 30-stock Dow Jones industrial average surged 132.79 points, or 1.29%, to 10,450.95.

Both books are officially being released today. Grisham’s book lists for $24, while the Kingsolver book lists at $26.99. <>Amazon continues to offer $9 pre-release pricing on <>Unde>>...

Do I Hear $8? Amazon Stares Down Wal-Mart In Price War Over Best Sellers
|
|
|
As an avid reader, I can’t see any reason to complain about this. As the Wall Street Journal notes this morning, Amazon (AMZN) and Wal-Mart (WMT) are suddenly locked in a ferocious price war over book prices. Wal-Mart yesterday chopped the prices on 10 much-anticipated new titles to $10; Amazon quickly matched the move. Then WMT went to $9; and Amazon has now followed suit. (The list of titles include Sarah Palin’s much anticipated memoir, plus new novels by Stephen King, the late Michael Crichton, John Grisham, Barbara Kingsolver and Dean Koontz, among others.) <>Good for readers, yes, but >...
