ll you have to do is look at Buckle (BKE) today, and it’s immediately evident that earnings are the key to making money in this market. I recommended Buckle a few weeks back because as other retailers were seeing sales decline and profits vanish, this company was growing sales by keeping its loyal consumer base in designer jeans. We may have bought in a little early, but now that first-quarter numbers are in we know that we made the right decision. The clothing retailer said today its first-quarter profit jumped by 44% despite the economic downturn thanks to a 25% jump in sales, beati...

I'm fine with it when most of its peers are reporting negative 7-10% same store sales. This is going into the yin versus our typical yang part of the portfolio - i.e. things that should rally when Kool Aid drinkers scream...

<>Retail stocks have been getting hammered and consumers remain under heavy pressure. That should delight doctrinaire contrarians.
