I can see a merger between Circuit City and Radio Shack. We can call it "Radio City". Otherwise, Circuit City can be absorbed by Best Buy, Sears, Walmart, Costco, or a private equity firm.

I see Circuit City going to $5.00 per share soon. If a third party shows interest in them the price can go much higher.

Brick and Mortar retail fascinates me...because people still buy that way.

Mind boggling.

You are crazy.

Circuit City, in a cost-cutting move, let go of most of their best (more-highly paid) salesmen a handful of months ago. They have a back-asswards rebate process when compared with Best Buy. Also, they don't know how to put together decent sales versus the competition in the retail space (Best Buy).

Circuit City is not the “Buy” you claim it to be.

Let me guess, you are trying to offload your shares at a higher price?

Walmart has no need for Circuit City. Sears has major problems. Best Buy might be a regulatory issue. Private equity can’t borrow from the banks. Is it so likely that these retail companies will want to add on debt to buy a competitor in a recession? This stock will have to stand on its own, or not.

Your prediction may end up being right. Technically it doesn't look all that great YET.

http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?CC

IF it forms a BASE at 3.4-3.5 or so (big volume supports it) then you have a good entry point.

Then to ALL who do buy it, MUST put a HARD STOP LOSS at 3.2 or 3.1.

Riding a stock in downward spiral is the BIGGEST mistake one would ever make. If it loses its support at 3.4, you never know where it would end up next.

Its always better to lose some money than all of it. You can re-invest the SAVED money and get it right end up in green. But if you choose to ride it downwards, kiss your money goodbye.

HAPPY TRADING.

Circus City will evolve into the foray of vacant buildings.

I'd be very interested to know how much they're into their vendors for software, music cds, DVDs - if they're sitting on cash and not paying out those accounts, then what we're going to simply see is executives getting good rewards, and another going out of business sale.

I see Circuit City going bankrupt because they’re run by idiots, they only employ idiots (experienced workers are fired) and the Internet is eating their lunch.

Heard from Incredible Universe lately? Or CompUSA?

If it doesn’t work out can we sue you for giving bad advice?

Circuit City was crappy when it was at its best, IMO.

Skip the market altogether. Buy gold and silver (coinage, not certificates) while they’re heading down right now. They’ll be back up in a matter of months, whereas CC will be a memory.

You can thank me now and thank me later. :)

I usually follow stock tips I get unsolicited in my e-mail.

Since I live in the city where CC is headquartered and know several who work, or used to work there, I can tell you that CC is a deeply dysfunctional company.

LOL! I see bad advice and ignorant predictions. If someone shows interest in them, the advice can go much worse!

That’s the best stock tip I’ve heard since Jim Cramer said to buy Bear Stearns.

All that Circuit City has left is a tarnish brand name.
