Some Investment Themes for 2009

don't blame cotton prices on HBi failure. Its the management and lack of any possible sales growth that management has implimented. Remember they got rid of all the actual underwear people and put in the hosiery people to run the company. Hosiery has been failing for 25 years now. Its time for a change. Don't lose any more money on a failed company.

Apparel Makers Squeezed by Recession, Retailer Consolidation

HBI has no potential for growth, unless walmart adds 5000 new doors. HBI does not have enough customers to sustain them.

5 Attractive Small/Midcaps Poised for Strong Returns

You must be joking about Hanes Brands. There is no option for sales growth, unless Walmart opens 5,000 new doors. They just announced they are laying off 500 people again at the Winston HDQ by Year 2008 end.. That leaves them with 2,000,employees at Hdq, only enough for a few more years. That is their business plan ,cut payroll and keep Walmart and Target customers that dictate prices. They are not interested in increasing sales. Also if the FTC ever finds about their pricing agreements to a select few, HBI could have a big problem with fair trade laws. I would keep away from HBI ,and invest in something with a solid business plan and descent management. The old hosiery management runs underwear, since the spin off, and will run whats left into the ground also.
