  • Two "Buys" After Reporting Earnings on Tuesday

    By Brian Nichols - May 9, 2013 | Tickers: FSLR, FOSL

    The post-earning reaction of a stock should not dictate your decision as to whether or not to invest in a company. Sometimes my greatest plays are those that trade lower after earnings, and then sometimes it is those that pop huge after earnings. When it’s all said and done, value is what drives long-term performance, and in this piece I am looking at two stocks that trended differently but more »

  • Is it Time to Invest in this Watchmaker?

    By Leo Sun - May 9, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, KORS, MOV

    Shares of Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL) recently rallied strongly, after the Richardson, Texas-based watch and accessory retailer reported first quarter earnings that showed robust double-digit top and bottom line growth from the previous year.

    By Matthew Frankel - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, KORS, MOV

    By Marshall Hargrave - May 1, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, SIG, TIF

    Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) is the famous "blue box" specialty jeweler, but it's also heavily tied to the economy. However, with a rebounding economy, is now a good time to invest in the jewelry company? The other big tailwind to the stock could be a potential buyout.

    By Himanshu Poddar - April 8, 2013 | Tickers: COH, FOSL, TIF

The company recently announced strong fourth-quarter results. Let's check them out.

  • 3 Growth Stocks That Value Investors Should Love

    By Robert Ciura - April 1, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, DLTR, FOSL

    Most savvy stock market investors tend to fall into one of two groups: growth investors, or value investors. Growth investors favor companies whose revenues and profits are experiencing rapid growth. These are usually less mature companies that are still in the high-growth phases of their existence. As a result, growth investors more often than not favor smaller companies that don’t pay dividends. Instead, they reinvest their profits back into more »

  • If This Is The “Next Big Thing”, I'm Not Sold On The Idea

    By Chad Henage - March 28, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, FOSL, KORS

    I'll admit up front that I'm an Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) fan. I own Apple products, and I own shares of the stock. However, I have to be blunt--I'm not terribly enthusiastic about the rumored iWatch. There are several issues I see with this product being a hit, and even if it is, there's the question of what it does for Apple's bottom line.

  • Massive Growth Is Always in Fashion

    By Chad Henage - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, KORS, PVH, RL

    To say that Michael Kors (NYSE: KORS) has been an impressive growth story is an understatement. The company's growth has been nothing short of meteoric. In the current quarter, the company proved doubters wrong again reporting huge growth across the board. To me the only question left is, how long can this continue?

    By Chad Henage - March 22, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, KORS, PVH, RL

    I'll readily admit that sometimes in the past I was too reliant on analysts projections. I'm a numbers person, and the numbers all seemed to add up for Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL) when I bought the shares. The company was expected to grow earnings by 16% to 18%, yet the shares traded at a multiple below that growth rate. The company was very successful selling watches, and their license more »

    By Robert Ciura - March 20, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, MA, MNST

    By Himanshu Poddar - February 25, 2013 | Tickers: COH, FOSL, KORS, TIF

    Expensive watches are a fashion statement and a great accessory for anyone. However, who can actually think of spending too much on such a luxury item when consumers, especially the lower income group, have become calculative about each penny spent. Tough times for luxury retailers were very much evident in the recent results of some of the industry players such as Coach (NYSE: COH) and Tiffany (NYSE: TIF), who are more »
