Foot Locker Turnaround May Have Legs

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 04:07:24 GMT

For those who follow me, you know that Shoe Carnival (SCVL), has been a favorite of mine over the past couple of years. It remains in my Top 20 Model Portfolio despite a big run this year.

Personally I don't think it's the cleanest pattern, but here's a look at SPY (these charts are taken from approximately 30 minutes before the close): [More...]

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:00:00 GMT

Generally speaking, I see myself as a value investor. Why then, would am I so often looking towards retailers and generally consumer facing businesses for my best investment ideas (see: A Retail Reversal and Irrational Retail Valuations)? After all, many of the best retail stocks are those that rely on growth to provide shareholder return. And, in the case of liquidation, the bulk of their assets are held in inventory and property* that are rarely liquidated at full value. Then again, Warren Buffett, a value[More...]
