FIVE buy 99.035
it's like a dollar store and a novelty store together with better stuff $5 instead of just $1
good deals on headphones and small electronics when I visited
bulk candy, exercise equipment, super cheerful helpful staff, store music
wide open orderly layout with room, unique neat selection, products with high profit potential
have a lot of retail store work experience, this is a good store
buying covered calls on margin makes 15.7% a month or 5.25x a year compounded
this is whatever large funds are used and even if the stock goes nowhere
but the SCTR is above 50 so it is at least mildly bullish
great timing with stochastics in lower boundary at the gap up area but this is not really required here with this more relaxed method
perfect stock for covereds that cost a lot so it seems boring and keeps flippers away

"Five Below is currently trading at 54 times forward earnings, well above its competitors whom trade around 15-18 times forward earnings. Should we see comparable same store sales continue to slow, in combination with any hints of a store growth slowdown, multiple contraction would be devastating to shareholders. Best case, if the company was able to successfully dominate new markets with additional stores the company would then be just fairly valued. Such high valuations are rarely reserved for companies selling Snickers and cheap iPhone cases."
"As the economy starts to turn around and income rise, I would expect the declines to continue."

Overview
Five Below is a rapidly growing specialty value retailer offering a broad range of trend-right, high-quality merchandise targeted at the aspirational teen and pre-teen customer. We offer a dynamic, edited assortment of exciting products, all priced at $5 and below, including select brands and licensed merchandise across a number of categories, which we refer to as โworldsโ: Style, Room, Sports, Media, Crafts, Party, Candy and Seasonal (which we refer to as โNowโ).

Our compelling value proposition and the dynamic nature of our merchandise offering appeal to teens and pre-teens, as well as customers across a variety of age groups beyond our target demographic.
Five Below was founded in 2002 by our Executive Chairman, David Schlessinger, and our President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Vellios, who recognized a market need for a fun and affordable shopping destination aimed at our target customer. We opened the first Five Below store in 2002 and have since been expanding across the eastern half of the U.S. At the end of fiscal 2011, we operated a total of 192 locations across 16 states. Our stores average approximately 7,500 square feet and are typically located within power, community and lifestyle shopping centers across a variety of urban, suburban and semi-rural markets. We plan to open approximately 50 stores in 2012, and we believe we have the opportunity to grow our store base to more than 2,000 locations over time.
