…The better choice would be for Nike to acquire Skechers,
Cray-cray! No way Nike buys them. Same could be said for UA. Nike has been kicking butt, have you seen their chart? Straight up for a long time. Are they going to say we need to acquire to grow now because our products are starting to lose favor? Nope!

on a side note, I was talking with my wife’s cousin’s son in Aug 2010 and trying to get him interested in investing. He was about 16 at the time and he said he would invest in DIS and NKE, now up 244% and 271% since then. Kicks my butt!
