  • Two Fad Footwear Stocks to Avoid and One to Buy

    By Leo Sun - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, DECK, SKX

    Short-term traders love fad stocks. The public’s temporary infatuation with a hot product often causes investors to turn a blind eye to basic stock fundamentals, which often causes big rallies that can translate into big profits for traders. However, long-term investors should be wary of top-heavy fad stocks, which could unexpectedly fall off a cliff once the public tires of a product, or if it becomes commoditized through imitation more »

  • New Products Bring Profits for Skechers

    By Dusan Jovanic - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, DECK, NKE, SKX

    Skechers (NYSE: SKX) is recovering from a disastrous fall the company faced in 2011. The fallout in toning shoes brought earnings into negative territory with a 20% drop in revenue. The stock price followed, falling more than 70% in the process. The situation has changed since, and Skechers has done an overhaul. The company turned for the better, with new products and new initiatives. Skechers’ stock price has increased almost more »

  • Getting Ahead of the Value Investing Big Show

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - May 2, 2013 | Tickers: DECK, SHOS, SODA

    The Value Investing Congress is the go-to event for value investors on a par with Berkshire Hathaway's annual lovefest (also called the shareholder meeting). But Buffettpalooza is not the market mover for individual stocks that the VIC is.

    Watch out May 6 and 7 for the spring meeting in Vegas as the last one in NYC in October tanked stocks like Splunk, down 30% after a short presentation and more »

  • Are Ugg Boots Back in Style?

    By Fani Kelesidou - May 1, 2013 | Tickers: DECK, SHOO, WWW

    Deckers Outdoor (NASDAQ: DECK), the company behind the Ugg brand, was sort of left up the creek last October when its shares reached rock-bottom levels. Everyone assumed that Uggs had gone out of style. But a cold winter, a turn lower in fleece prices, and a couple of analysts' upgrades were enough to jump-start the stock price. Deckers is up by almost 35% year-to-date. Not only that, but last Thursday more »

  • These Are the Most Interesting Earnings Releases Next Week

    By Salvatore "Sam" Mattera - April 19, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CAT, CSTR, DECK, ZNGA

    Earnings results are, over the long-term, the most fundamental factors behind a stock’s performance. That said, for some companies, certain quarters are more noteworthy than others.

    With earnings season in full swing, it is an impossible task for most to track every release. If investors pay attention to only five earnings releases next week, they should be those from: Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA), Coinstar more »

  • Why These Footwear Companies Caught a Cold

    By Austin Higgins - April 18, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, DECK, SHOO

    The cooler weather this spring has had an impact on a lot of different industries. This past March was the coldest in the United States since 1996. Many retailers saw a decline in sales as consumers did not want to brave out in to the cold to do any shopping. Footwear companies, in general, suffered as well. Can one soft month have a negative impact on these stocks?

    In the last 3 months, Nike's (NYSE: NKE) stock price has surged 12.25%. If you are excited by that, you would probably jump at this one. Nike's stock price has appreciated 73.8% in the last 5 years. And that includes the period of the Great Recession (2007-2010) as well.

  • Have Crocs Hit Their Stride?

    By Howard Rothman - March 20, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, DECK, DSW, WWW

    Although Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX) opened for business in 1999, it took about a half-dozen years before its colorful injection-molded clogs hit anyone’s radar. But when they did hit, they hit big. A highly anticipated IPO was followed by a rapid rise in stock price that topped 400% before peaking in late October 2007 — and then collapsed, just as quickly, falling by more than 98% over the next 13 months more »

  • 2 Numbers Suggest This Company Isn't Facing Reality

    By Chad Henage - March 19, 2013 | Tickers: DECK, NKE, UA, VFC

    Whenever I'm looking at a retail company, I can't help but remember Peter Lynch's sage advice. He said to keep an eye on inventory levels. If inventories climb faster than sales, it may be a warning sign. This advice has helped me avoid some losses over the years, and it's advice that Deckers Outdoor (NASDAQ: DECK) investors need to listen to today.

  • Four Controversial Stocks You Might Want to Buy Post-Earnings

    By Brian Nichols - March 7, 2013 | Tickers: BBY, DECK, KOG, CRM

    Earnings can dictate the direction of a stock for the following three months. Investors pay close attention to earnings and often make emotional decisions based on the performance of a stock post-earnings. However, the performance of a stock following earnings should never be the first line of research, rather the last. With that being said, I am looking at four controversial companies that reported earnings last week that might be more »
