Lululemon Athletica (LULU): A Great Canadian Stock

October 18, 2011
By

As to the market, it’s looking better, and we are now advising growth-oriented investors to start reducing their cash levels and buying. Trouble is, at the start of a new bull market it’s difficult to know which stocks will become true leaders; all we know is the new leaders are seldom the leaders of the prior bull market. So my suggestion today is to look at a growing company that’s also attractive because it meets the value investing criteria of Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter Editor Roy Ward.

A Stock for Bargain Shoppers

October 11, 2011
By

As to today’s recommended stock, it begins with a story. Last Wednesday just before noon, as I was packing my car for the drive to the forum in Vermont, I was also fixing a door for my wife, grabbing a bite to eat, and packing some supplies to take to our son, the last child of the three still in college.

One stock that’s been popping up in a lot of newsletters recently is Dollar Tree (DLTR), a leading discount retailer. It’s not hard to see why; the stock just hit a new 52-week high, at a time when many other stocks are well off their peaks. The story here is simple: Dollar Tree owns and operates 4,101 discount stores with a wide variety of very cheap products, many priced at or around $1. According to an August 18 New York Times article, in the wake of the recession, these super discount stores are gaining newly frugal customers of all...

Mako Surgical and Rosetta Resources: Good Volume Clues

Speaking of growth stocks, I still think it’s a bit too early to really dig in and find those names that have either resisted the downturn, or got hit but snapped back with power.  The reason is that nearly every growth stock has some serious damage on its chart, which will take time to repair.  Thus, while it’s nice to see some things snap back, even the most resilient names likely need a few weeks to consolidate.
