      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/570795</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[This post was first published on TheStreet.comGameStop (GME) - GameStop is the world's largest video game retailer, operating more than 4,800 stores worldwide. It acquired its largest competitor Electronic Boutique back in 2005 and since then has had virtually no competition in the space. The reason companies like Best Buy (BBY), Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT) have not been able to compete with GameStop is because the specialty video game retailer has in-house expertise in video gaming, along with a large variety of games. It is a one-stop shop for consoles, accessories, magazines, posters and games. But most importantly, GameStop sells us<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/570795>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>On Hanes</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Inelegant Investor has a post on Hanes. The post also links to The Stalwart.  Here are a few things to keep in mind with Hanes.  Two major players, Hanes Brands (HBI) and Fruit of the Loom (a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary), control most of the U.S. underwear market.   Hanes considers itself to be in the &quot;apparel essentials&quot; business which is to say the &quot;t-shirts, bras, panties, men's underwear, kids' underwear, socks, and hosiery&quot; business. In 2005, the U.S. apparel essentials market was about $44 billion. Apparel essentials have been growing faster than the overall apparel industry – still this isn't a fast growing market.

      <title>Should We Invest in Unethical Companies?</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/502223</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[I had a telephone conversation last week with a new client and one of the questions he had for me was, &quot;Do you invest in unethical companies?&quot; He was speaking about Wal-Mart (WMT) specifically, it turns out, but there are a lot of investors who avoid buying shares in companies with which they disapprove of their products, their way of doing business, or both. Common examples include stocks with ties to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, casinos, Mideast oil, etc. It was a good question and one that I don't think I've addressed on this blog before, so I figured I would give my perspective.Before I get into an explanation, the answer to this question is yes, I will buy shares in the likes of Anheuser Busch (BUD), Altria (MO)<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/502223>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Aug. 9--In this banking climate, some community banks just can't win, no matter when or how the economy improves, analysts say. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It won't be a total bloodbath for these banks in Southern Nevada, but it might come close. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Some may even be mortally injured from a lack of business due to newly tightened lending standards, overzealous bank examiners -- the ones making up for lost time -- and the higher interest rates that will undoubtedly show up should the economy improve too fast.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3403516>[More...]</a>]]></description>
