And if we consider the COGS to SALES ratio for Dick Sporting Goods:. COGS to Sales of 70%.

Published on Wednesday, 06 November 2013 03:03. Do we have a stock market bubble arising? I find evaluating stocks difficult right now. A part of me wants to be all in on what I deem reasonable valuations, but the other part of me is finding it hard to discover these. "I love the rally," says Simon Baker of Baker Avenue Asset Management. I definitely think there's a bubble brewing, but you have to be long this market.".

And so long as the "central banking powers that be," continue to effectively steal from us with each and every round of money printing, those of us who aren't the lucky ones will continue to feel it.
