Pier 1 Strong Buy 9/17 Business Week Graphic_rating_buy PIR

Pier 1 Imports ( PIR )

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

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.

Turnaround in the face of market downturn Graphic_rating_buy PIR
N/A

Pier One should continue its positive growth despite the downturn in the housing market.  As the Fed continues to drop rates and remedy housing fears PIR should reaccelerate its growth and make substantial positive gains.
