(closed on 09/17/09)
Pier 1 is one of those stores where you go in just to look around in amazement at their products and the stores themselves; seems like a nice store. However, I'm was never sure how profitable they are, and apparently they've been sinking for the last couple years, but looking at the price it began with and looking at the momentum/technicals, I think that Pier one is going to float back up eventually. I'm not sure how soon, but I think this next earnings will be another positive. I'm probably not going to stick with pier one in the long run; I'm going to sell my shares after the earnings rel...

"Ascending Triple Top Breakout" on September 16, 2009 on high volume Graphic_rating_buy PIR

September 17, 2009: Technically speaking, Pier 1 achieved an "Ascending Triple Top Breakout" on September 16, 2009 on high volume and continues to climb after earnings.

The breakout implies that the buyers are now creating more demand than there is supply and therefore the prices are breaking out.

I think there is a technical rally going on the stock market, in general, and current price is 3.25.
(PIR) Pier 1 has a beautiful ascending chart, maintaining price above the 50 day moving average for months now.

Consumer stock to sell: Pier 1 Imports (PIR)Pier 1 Imports (NYSE: PIR) hit the rock bottom price of 10 cents per share in early March as the market bottomed.

Now two months later, PIR trades around $2.00 per share. In early May, the stock gained more than 10% as it regained compliance with the New York Stock Exchange.

I can appreciate the enthusiasm for PIR and its turnaround play, but there is still a lot of risk here.

five consumer stocks to sell nowWhile consumer confidence might have soared in April, the move seems to be in response to a two-month surge in stocks versus any real strength on the home front.

The jobs market is still poor with stagnant or declining wages. Corporations are still in lay-off mode and oil prices are marching ever higher. In other words, there are still hurdles to overcome before the "all clear" can be given.

I don't mean to rain on the parade of recovery, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

Pier 1 When Will the Pain Stop? Graphic_rating_sell PIR
+50.79%
in 943 days
Pier 1 (NYSE:PIR) rolled in again with worse results than expected. The culprit this time is an inventory impairment charge. Margins are shrinking and promotion costs are through the roof. Investors are naturally not hearing the cash register ring the way it should. A conference call is scheduled to explain how they plan to work their way out. This explaination will probably not be important as it will be an excuse based look forward.

The concept of retailing is extremely simple. You must sell product that people want to buy. If you can do this quickly and get good inventory tur...
