Filed under: Newsletters, Stocks to Buy, Recession  I grew up in the 1970s and recall fondly watching the TV series "Dallas" with my family on Friday nights. Everything on the culturally sensational show was big, including its storylines.
Of course, one of my favorites was "who shot J.R.?" But another favorite was the return of Bobby Ewing after a supposed death that was resolved by stating the entire season was a dream. <>I like to use the dream analogy for stocks that have made a round trip journey in a short period of time. If a stock goes up only to return to the level previously, it is as if...

Filed under: Wal-Mart (WMT), Newsletters, Bargain stocks, Stocks to Buy  When the Bureau of Economic Research declared that the recession had officially begun in December 2007, the entire retail sector shrugged its shoulders and said, "No kidding."
Shares of companies that deal directly with the consumer, except for the deep discount retailers, have known for some time that the economy was struggling. Sales have been declining steadily and, with the deteriorating operating environment, shares of the retail stocks have been absolutely crushed. <>The entire retail group is one of the biggest losers...

Big Lots (BIG) - Another Good Report, but Adverse Reaction

This is the 2nd retailer in a row we've seen get hammered on the back of a good report. This tells me the hedge funds are done (for now) playing with "retailers are making a comeback because gas is falling 40 cents", and on to the next plaything. Remember, this is not a market to buy breakouts but breakdowns - retail has been strong for much of latter July and early to mid August - so now they are being sold off. These results are good for Big Lots (BIG) but reflect a bad situation for many in the lower and middle class. The company beat by 5 cents ($0.32 vs $0.27), but fundamentals mea...

Trying to find a retailer to replace the homebuilder exposure we let go of this morning. The thesis here remains we need exposure to something that works when the "it's time to buy America as the rest of the world implodes" trade is on. Now the funny thing, is in retail most of the stocks doing well, even today, as "rotation" happens are the very low end or higher end - the great middle is still a chasm.
While the usual road kill rallied huge yesterday: Kohl's (KSS), Macy's (M), JcPenney (JCP) I am looking for something with a bit more reality behind it - i.e. will go up on more than "flavo...
