Div yield = 1.9%

GES- 1/3/5 Total Return = <29.6%>/116%/<9.7%>
Div yield = 2.7%

Buckle has been around for many years. They own clothing brands such as: 7 for all mankind, Affliction, Alpinestar, Billabong, BCBG, Diesel, Dr. Martens, Fossil, Fox, Hurley, K-Swiss, Kenneth Cole, Lacoste, Lucky Brands, O'Neil, Puma, Quicksilver, True Religion and Volcom just to name a few.

As far as I know, BKE doesn't own those companies - they just retail those brands along side their own goods....
