Given the weakness of consumer spending, a lot of investors are worried that Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK) may not come through with the profitable year the CEO Patrick Byrne has gone on the record as predicting.
Indeed this necklace, pointed out by a poster on a Yahoo! message board, may be a bad omen:
Sterling Silver Moveable Toilet Necklace
- Enhance your style with this sterling silver necklace
- Pendant features a fun and edgy toilet design with a lid that opens and closes
- Jewelry includes a princess-length chain
If you want it -- and I'm sure you do -- you can buy one at Overstock. It's only $16.99.
It looks like this toilet bowl of a company could be releasing some pretty crappy numbers.
