Thanks Nate - that provides a pretty good look into how these companies are actually doing.
Dikk's is over-valued w/ P/E at 29, but like you said, Cabela's is pretty healthy.
From what I saw from Gander Mountain (GMTN) - it looks like their P/E is on the high-side, near 30(also over-valued), and that their return on investment and return on equity are low - well below their industry peers. Maybeshowing some cracks in the foundation??

I wouldn't put much stock into the P/E that I cited for GMTN, b/c there is a lot of conflicting data from site-to-site, and most of them have it listed as 0 or unavailable. Not sure why.
Interesting stuff, eh?
