Retail Sector Doomed: Weak Holiday Sales Will Destroy Under Armour [view article]
unde armour is not by any means a fad, in my high school and in my current college people are buying everything from cleats, to backpacks, to sweaters. Crox was a fad and I shorted that and made 25k on it. However, Under armour is a company with staying power and even if it does underperform while the economy does. It still has a very strong following and an extremely strong brand name. Also, I visited some of its inventory clearing stores which were all packed even during times of economic durress. Clearly, the economic downturn will affect Under Armour, but not to the magnitude that this author ignorantly claims it will.

I like where you are going, but some ideas need some more quantifying here. For ex: UA is obviously a very controversial stock, so you'd expect people to slam you if you call it a short and do not back up the prose with any real analysis. One could just as much say that UA is oversold (down 45% over the last year) and is ready to burn shorts if they report a better than expected number. you have to admit that most stocks in this environment are not trading on fundamentals, so I would love to hear more from you on UA. CC is a dice roll and AMZN is too big for me. UA I can play with, so tel us more please ReplyRetail Sector Doomed: Weak Holiday Sales Will Destroy Under Armour [view article]
Actually, UA looks like a great short. But in reality, anything that touches a consumer is going to be a great short. UA is no crocs but margins are going to evaporate along with consumer wallets ReplyRetail Sector Doomed: Weak Holiday Sales Will Destroy Under Armour [view article]
Andrew you are an idiot. Sorry to be so blunt, but when you publish crap like this that is the risk you take. From looking at your articles you cover broad and diverse business segments. Do yourself a favor...concentrate on ONE, become an expert on that. You have no credibility at this point. ReplyRetail Sector Doomed: Weak Holiday Sales Will Destroy Under Armour [view article]
Has anyone checked out this guy's past record?2/1/08 buy SWHC at or below 6 and hold for a year. 2/1/08 high/low 4.88/4.66. Current 4.57. High in August 7.77. But we are holding for a year. Not Great
2/27/08 ABK high/low 12.47/11/76. Current 3.48
4/3/08 GTXI 14/15 current 18.83. Not bad, not great.
Anyone got a grain of salt? Reply

Hi Andrew. Why do you post such nonsense? One only needs to take a look at your previous submissions to see you do not have a very good ability at advising investors. You picked ABK in February @ $6 and it closed yesterday @ $3.48; you picked MRK in August @ $33.26 and it closed yesterday @ $30.75; you picked SWHC in February @ $4.70 and it closed yesterday @ $4.57. Your ONLY submission that has performed is GTXI up $2.48 since you picked it in April....your track record is way worse than UA's Christmas will be!I take it that, since you "advise many wealthy clients" on their investments, and you would post your "best bets" here on Alpha, that you have lost them a ton (A TON!) of cash...results count Andrew, and yours are terrible.

Blah, blah, blah...check out your local Dick's lately for a pair of UA sneakers? Unless you have a very unique foot size, they are probably sold out...and, oh yea, have you seen the growth abroad...especially in Asia...I doubt UA is looking at a great '08 Christmas season, but if you think that UA is a brand going to the dogs you are a fool.

Everybody is getting fruit cake this year, I don't want to hear any complaints! ;-) ReplyA First Look At How the SEC's Rules Are Working [view article]
I agree with the views of captainccs, above.A number of other securities, including some that are represented by pink sheet listings, which are their U.S. equivalents of Cdn (Toronto) listings, have been and are under naked short pressure, to attempt to drive the price down, and create a "fire-sale".
They aren't financials, or investment types, but ATP/UN.TO (ATPWF) is one example. At one point this Spring, it had short positions over 12-fold its total shares available...It's a CanRoy Ute of U.S. power plants. So the company decided to use some of its large cash holdings to buy back some shares at depressed prices.
Until the SEC and their Cdn counterparts get sufficient data, staff and gov't support, this "naked shorting", by which large capitalized groups, such as hedge funds and other private equity groups, as well as Turquoise and other systems set up to avoid scrutiny,...this illegal activity...will continue. The naked shorting actually causes significant problems for those smaller traders, that follow the rules to borrow shares to sell short.
Another issue that comes to my naive mind, is the shorting of ETFs and other large funds...that actually hold the commodities...Such as GLD, IAU, SLV, etc. Not the ones that are futures-based. How could the government regulators be blind to the massive shorting, when physical delivery of the assets has been very difficult...there's been a lot of blogging about central bank or SWF manipulation of these ETFs,
but at some point the inverse Ponzi scheme will detonate. Reply
