We believe it is important to note that the issues faced by TLB appear to be company-specific issues with merchandise and promotions; as such, we would use the recent sell-off to accumulate shares of ANN...We do not see risk to our and the consensus estimate of $0.14 for 4Q10 and believe there could be potential for upside. We are also comfortable with our FY2011 EPS estimate of $1.66 versus the street at $1.63."
