My phone vibrated at me the morning of 12/19 and told me Coach had hit my target buy-in price. News indicated a minor panic due to an announcement of a price reduction. Of course, it's prudent to read further. Coach has indeed reduced prices - a cause for concern. But it's on a few styles of handbags and only in its wholesale channel? I'll leave the panic to the day-traders and draw my own conclusions here.

A few moments ago, on my own arbitrary decision (I always reserve the right to make these!), I sold my remaining 61 shares of Coach (COH) at $46.25. Coach has been under pressure recently. Much like Starbucks it is a phenomenal success story. However, with my own sale of shares, I
If you missed my piece from the Weekend Wall Street Journal on looking beyond same-store sales, you can read it here on MarketWatch. The story used Bed Bath & Beyond as an example of what happens when everything isn't quite right; there was a small mention of Coach (coh), whose strong same-store sales are the envy of retailers everywhere.

Firms that missed 3Q2008 consensus EPS expectations during the past week included bellwethers Starbucks (SBUX), Ford (F), Walt Disney (DIS), and News Corpora
Following the week we have just endured, many would find it hard to return to the stock market any time soon, despite so many pundits calling the market bottom on Thursday. Bad news just keeps amassing: the Euro-zone is officially in recession, unemployment in the U.S. and globally is on the rise, the housing market is far from any sustainable...
Despite economic woes, cash-strapped consumers, and forecasts for a dismal holiday retail season, value investor Charles Mizrahi still sees value for long-term investors in high-end retailer Coach (NYSE: COH).
