Still, neither Falconer's nor Carle's works are being spun into anything nearly so ambitious as the Sunny Patch brand, Miss Spider's line of goods. Target, Callaway and Kirk think that doesn't matter. "Our core guest [i.e., customer] is a busy mom with young children...

Over the past 30 years, he says, this group has traded at a 10% discount to the price-to-sales ratio (price per share divided by sales per share) of the S&P 500. The discount today...
