<p>Indeed this necklace, pointed out by a poster on a Yahoo! message board, may be a bad omen:</p>
<blockquote>Sterling Silver Moveable Toilet Necklace<br />
<ul>
    <li>Enhance your style with this sterling silver necklace </li>
    <li>Pendant features a fun and edgy toilet design with a lid that opens and closes </li>
    <li>Jewelry includes a princess-length chain </li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>If you want it -- and I'm sure you do -- you can <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/Sterling-Silver-Moveable-Toilet-Necklace/3037488/product.html">buy one at Overstock</a>. It's only $16.99.<br /><br />It looks like this toilet bowl of a company could be releasing some pretty crappy numbers.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/10/19/overstock-looks-to-the-toilet-for-revenue-growth/">Overstock looks to the toilet for revenue growth</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sun, 19 Oct 2008 17:40:00 EST.
