October 4, 2000

When you're a Jet, you sometimes come crashing down. Six months ago, Barbara Eisner Bayer (TMF Venus) and Rick Aristotle Munarriz (TMF Edible) took a closer look at specialty retailer Gap (NYSE: GPS).

The Foolish Voters sided with Barbara. But after company struggles forced even our Rule Maker Portfolio to sell its stake, you might as well call in the Old Navy. The shares have fallen by 56% in the six months that followed our bout.

Victory? Rick. Congrats!

Revisit the Gap Duel.
