A little over a month ago, I did a post about Aeropostale called A Matter of Perspective. The main point of the post was that just because a chart’s price was near the bottom of the graph doesn’t mean the price can’t go lower.

It was terrific, so if you’re on Netflix, check it out. I have known plenty of people just like the lunatics featured in the documentary, and if we’re ever together and you buy me a couple of beers, I could tell you some stories.
