Buying AEO

I'm buying more American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) today at 12 times current earnings.

Harley Davidson (HOG) is still headed clearly downward from $48 per share (12 times current earnings) with the sub prime mortgage crunch still impacting credit for big purchases of Harley Davidson motorcycles; however, should it drop closer to ten times next year's projected earnings per share of $3.65 ($36.50), I'll continue to load up on it.

Not much else is on the horizon for a value investor right now, so it appears we are in an over valued market, presently. I noted that they announced a 10% overall correction took place yesterday from market highs. That's good news for those of us seeking lower prices for stock purchases. We are entering a bear market for a while. Excellent!
