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. As I review the shoe retailers, though, I find Foot Locker (FL) to be cheaper and certainly meriting closer investigation.[More...]

3 Consumer Stocks That Could Fall by a Third

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:58:23 GMT

The long-awaited correction appears to have finally arrived. Like a yo-yo that has climbed up sharply and is now heading back down, this fall will probably not be as sharp or as deep as many pundits would suggest. I am going with a SPY target of 87.50 to 92 as the most likely bottom for this move.[More...]

Weekly Commentary for the Week Ending July 18

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:02:00 GMT

For some years I have been reading George Slezak's analysis of the weekly Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) Committments of Traders (COT) Report. George does the hard work I did myself for years. He was the first to do futures category summaries and total CRB summaries in addition to each individual futures contract analysis, with and without its own futures options volume. When CFTC started gettng data on commodity index fund activity, George was right on that long before that issue became "news". This is a guy who was a floor trader in Chicago. He knows his stuff. George's release at the close yesterday is extremely important not only for the current state of physical commodities futures but also for the stock index[More...]

Collective Brands up on better-than-expected 3Q

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:50:00 GMT

NEW YORK - Shares of shoe retailer Collective Brands Inc. rose on Thursday after adjusted third-quarter profit topped Wall Street expectations, and an analyst forecast earnings growth next year.
Collective Brands, which operates the Payless ShoeSource and Stride Rite chains, said Wednesday that quarterly earnings declined 22 percent but topped analysts' estimates when adjusted.
Collective Brands, which is based in Topeka, Kan., also said results were helped by Oprah Winfrey's offer on a recent show to make half-off coupons available through the following day to Payless ShoeSource shoppers on all purchases.
