True Religion: Overreaction on Wall Street

At the time this article was published (not written) the stock was trading at $12 and change, today it is trading at $25 and change. Clearly the above "na sayers" should stick to the ultra slow conservative approach of investing in mutual funds. The risk/return was a no brainer in this situation and still is to this day. Just because some of you individuals don't understand the market for high-end denim doesn't mean that it is a poor investment. Too bad for those of you that don't understand this market because maybe if you were a little more optimistic you could have made enough money to be able to afford these jeans like the rest of us that have doubled our money in less than one year. Shorting a company for the purpose of "hedging" your risk is backwards. Last time I checked tiffany's is not a competitor of trlg and if anything shorting a company such as them (in a different industry) only increases the amount of risk in a portfolio. Look into a collar move with options for trlg, not some other random company if you have doubts and need to reduce your risk. I hope the stock performance has shown some of you some light but if not have fun just beating inflation and remaining in the "obama friendly" tax bracket. Trlg still looks good at this level so those that are still on board look forward to making some more money.

Liquidity Preferences: Molson Coors vs. Starbucks

You're comparing apples with oranges. In no way whatsoever are coffee and beer substitutes. The economic slowdown has caused consumers to have less discretionary income to spend on "designer" type coffee. The company is showing signs of a cyclical company that does poorly when the market is bad, and well when it's a bull market. The stock is at or near its bottom and will produce solid returns in the future when the market bounces back.
