I saw where BI members had been dumping BBBY shares on the most active list. Seems like they might have been focused on a couple of less than stellar quarters instead of the long range picture. It bounced around $34-$35 for some time and now is back over $40. Our club held and plans to for now.
Parking lot is usually fillled at the local store.

I like the store. When I visit the sales people are helpful. You feel good buying there. Sara Seals

The bowing of the Sales for BBBY is classic.  Nine years ago it had just moved out of the Small-Sized into the Mid-Sized range of companies.  Now it is at the low end of a Large-Sized company.  I am, therefore, not surprised by the bow that you are seeing.
I was hoping to see BBBY commence paying dividends around now.  The latest Value Line Report (9 February 2007) shows "Nil" for dividends from here on out 3 to 5 years.  Interestingly the earlier Value Line Reports predicted the commencement of dividends.  This caused me to downgrade BBBY.
I was not alone in noticing this.  They showed up in ManifestInvesting's Stock Screening among the "Sweet Spot" stocks that paid a dividend.  They are no longer shown as paying a dividend.
This is another example of "sweating the details" when it comes to "reading" a Value Line Report.

Kenneth, this above action would actually have the opposite effect on me.

Did they pay a dividend at one time? I never saw that.

BBBY has never paid a dividend.  Apparently something happened to cause the Value Line analyst for them to believe that they were to begin paying a dividend the first quarter of this year.
Danny, if you need a back issue of the VL report contact me via webmaster @ naicspace.org.
