Received much better service - and prices - at CompUSA and Staples ... Cheaters such as Best Buy, always end up in the ditch.

Why blame Best Buy for your own mistake? It's the laptop that's lousy. Maybe your just pissed off because they sold you a crappy laptop and a 3 year service contract that's not worth the paper it's written on....

Will you buy again from a company that sells crap? How would you like your brand-new car in the repair shop for 20 per cent of the time after buying it? No sales, no money. No money, no honey. Moreover, there seems to be a lot of hanky-panky accounting with recent acquisitions in the US and Canada a la Enron. Overstatement, etc. ... it shows the top management is the problem.

Timely recommendation We recommend the purchase of Best Buy (BBY @18.50).BBY sells personal computers and other home office products, consumer electronics, entertainment software, major appliances and related accessories through 481 retail stores. For the 26 weeks ended 8/31/02, revenues rose 22% to $9.59 billion. Net income before accounting change fell 6% to $132 million. We estimate BBY will earn $1.68 per share on revenue of $22.7 billion this fiscal year ending March 2003, and $1.95 per share next year. Projecting an average earnings growth rate of 16%, we estimate BBY's current PEG ratio to be .64x, substantially below those of its peers'.

I have NO information at all to base my decision on, but I'm taking profits today. Out at 24.55 And, I expect this will keep on going up, but I'm not greedy today. Tomorrow I may be greedy again. Seems like a character flaw with me. Good Luck TH

you started this thread 6 years ago? Wow, you are dedicated. What exactly do you like about "the numbers"? I'm not an account, and trade on instincts, and my "guts" say, XMAS spending shouldn't be any worse than last year, and last year the stock was worth 40+. It's probably a deal at 28(my entry point). But there is always someone who will bag on stuff like "customer services sucks this year, margins are smaller this year....walmart has electronics....etc..."

PVS, "you started this thread 6 years ago? Wow, you are dedicated." I did not start this thread, but I wish I did as I would have reaped the reward of 6 years of investment in BBY. I like the fact that BBY did OK on SSS with a full week less of X-mas shopping in Q3 02. Certainly .3% is not great, but with the current economic conditions this just screams "well run business". Firming up the Q3 02 earnings a bit also helps with the current PE. I like BBY at this level. At $40 I would not be too sure. It about being able to buy the number 1 in the sector at a fair multiple relative the rest of the S&P. I expect to see mid-30s within 6-8 weeks, and that is a decent return by any standard. Wal-mart is a concern, but not a major one. Where is Wal-mart going to put the stuff to compete with the range BBY offers? But Wal-mart may suck some away from BBY on the low end, and I will be watching that. Good Luck TH

my mistake, but that's for replying. That's seems to be the general feeling, 30-35 dollars.

Best Buy Unpreferred Customer Weekend: These weekends are not what they used to be. Case in point: "Free $25 Best Buy Gift Card Instantly* when you spend $150 or more on any combination of Music, Movies and Video Games" then read the fine print "Excludes advertised items". Heck, most of their "advertised items" aren't even a reduced price and they get excluded? "10% Off regularly priced Music and Movie titles, any combination. Limit 5." 10% off their regular prices isn't much of a deal, IMO. "Take 10% off* any single item* from these categories:" One category is Computer Products which stipulates "DVD-RW drives, flash memory, printers $149 & up, etc, etc...." I assume that desktop systems, laptops, monitors, hard & CD-RW drives, video and sound cards, etc., etc...are not included since they are not stipulated. I've never seen such a restrictive Preferred Customer Weekend at Best Buy. I didn't even bother to shop there, like I've done the past few months. Circuit City is now my hangout...can't believe I'm saying that! Buddy
