No clue what to expect. Haven't read much as to how stores are doing, aside from that clownish hit piece video.

My gut wonders if the new guy will empty the shelves of any/all bad news and set lower expectations for his tenure. That might offer a knee jerk decline from Mr. Market, and for those with a longer term investment conviction, it could offer a nibbling opportunity.

If, on the other hand numbers are positive we may have seen the bottom for now and a climb back to something more normal could be underway.

For me, my slow position building sits at 1.5% of portfolio and is underwater by 15%. I'm itching to get it to a full 4-5%. Patience...I tell myself ;)

So, i'll probably roll the dice and acquire just few shares prior to earnings to scratch the itch, no harm in that. If earnings are green, let 'er ride. If earnings are yellow or red, keep building toward that 4-5%.

Conundrum.
