The business model is flawed, too much overhead and high prices vs online retailers. Bravo, not to mention Bodybuilding.com, owned by liberty media I think, eats their lunch all day.

Sounds like a lot of fluff to me. How do the accountants get away with this? This gives a very distorted book value. Investors are overpaying for thios company. Granted they have grown, but the IPO was too high a price. Their balance sheet shows on the asset side $177 milliion in “good will” which is a big chunk of their net worth.
