		<description><![CDATA[Despite sluggish recovery in the economy, Coach, Inc. (COH), the designer and marketer of fine accessories and gifts, recently posted better-than-expected third-quarter 2012 results on the back of healthy sales in North America and China. Strong brand image, geographical expansion, and new pricing and promotional policies in North American factory business were also the factor behind the growth. The quarterly earnings of 77 cents a share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a couple of cents, and increased 24% from 62 cents earned in the prior-year quarter buoyed by strong top-line growth. The New York based company, Coach, said that net sales for the quarter came in at $1,109 million, up 16.6% from the year-ago quarter, and came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,101 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Only a few days ago we reported about our balanced view on Gap Inc. (GPS) and thus reiterated our long-term Neutral recommendation on the premier international specialty retailer. Our prime focus in rendering the balanced view was on the progress of the company’s strategic plans. Most importantly, the strategic plans include reduction of its dependency on North American specialty business, while increasing its online presence as well as expanding its international operations. Building on that move, The Gap opened its first store in South Africa and has plans to open two more stores in the region, The Wall Street Journal reported. International turf provides ample long-term opportunities for retailers to enhance their margins. Thanks to globalization, retailers have the opportunity to explore and add newer markets for their products by ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following a mixed third quarter 2012 from one of the leading designer, marketer and distributor of premium lifestyle products, Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation (RL), we retain our long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock. In the third quarter, Polo’s earnings per share of $1.78 reflected a 3% growth from $1.72 earned in the year-ago period. Quarterly earnings also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.67 per share. The earnings beat in the quarter reflected a decline in shares outstanding as against last year. Polo Ralph Lauren&#8217;s net revenues climbed 16.6% year over year to $1,805.6 million in the quarter, which however fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,768.0 million. Solid quarterly performance prompted management to lift its revenue growth guidance for fiscal 2012 to 20%, instead of the high-teen ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Major indices of the American stock markets closed flat on Wednesday after experiencing a strong rally on the first trading day of the Year. Euro zone worries were not strong enough for markets to move southwards. Retail stocks surged after Christmas sales figures increased 5.3% on a year over year basis. The Dow Jones Industrial average (DJIA) gained a meager 0.17% or 21.04 points to close at 12,418.42. The tech laden Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.01% to end the day at 2,648.36. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 moved up 0.02% or 0.24 points to finish at 1,277.30, with health care and telecom sector stocks faring the worst and consumer-discretionary items emerging as gainers. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered to be the fear gauge of the market, closed near 22. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perry Ellis International Inc. (PERY) recently approved a $20 million extension of its stock repurchase program, thereby maintaining the trend of returning wealth to its shareholders from time to time, depending on market conditions. This program now authorizes the company to repurchase up to $40 million of its common stock over a twelve-month period. Perry Ellis will fund this repurchase program through the cash balances and its available credit facility. At the end of third-quarter 2011, Perry Ellis had cash and cash equivalents of $21.4 million. Long-term debt was $220.0 million. Although the board allocated a maximum of $40 million to carry out the program, Perry Ellis is not obligated to buyback any specific number of outstanding shares, and can reevaluate the program on an ongoing basis.

		<description><![CDATA[Does the start of holiday sales suggest a break from the phase when US consumers were reeling under a series of macro-economic shocks? For now, the initial data released by National Retail Federation suggests that Santa has a bagful of gifts for the majority of retailers this holiday season. Early reports hinted that the retailers have won over prolonged macro-economic uncertainty. Shoppers shrugged off their economic woes to mark record holiday weekend sales of $52.4 billion. Supporting the view, data released by the Conference Board reveals that Consumer Confidence Index increased to 56.0 in November from 40.9 in October (its highest level since July, when the index reached 59.2). Further, data from the Commerce Department noted consumer spending to have recorded its fastest growth in third quarter 2011. The quarter ]]></description>

The claims, which were related to eBay’s proposed acquisition of GSI, had been filed in the Delaware state court. Per the settlement terms, holders of GSI stock will receive 33 cents a share in addition to the $29.25-a-share payment already agreed to by eBay. The investors will get the settlement money after the acquisition is wrapped up on June 17. eBay had announced its intention to acquire GSI Commerce for $2.4 billion ($29.25 per GSI share) back in March.

The company’s strategy to sell products at heavily discounted prices has helped it to remain on a positive growth track amid beleaguered economic conditions as cash-strapped customers continue to reckon Costco as a viable option for low-cost necessities. Having delivered consistent comparable-store sales growth, Costco is well positioned in the warehouse club industry. A differentiated product range enables Costco to provide an upscale shopping experience for its members, resulting in market share gains and higher sales per square foot. Moreover, the company continues to maintain a healthy membership renewal rate. We are also encouraged by the company’s expansion strategy.

The quarterly earnings of $1.72 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.28 and rose 56.4% from the prior-year quarter on the heels of a strong top-line and better margin performance. The company leverages its sturdy array of globally renowned brands and their premium positioning to bolster its well-established business in the specialty retailing sector. Moreover, management&#8217;s initiatives to capitalize on opportunities in Asia and reduce long-term debt augur well for future operating performance.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Friday, February 25, 2011 Cotton prices have surged beyond $2 a pound, the highest level they’ve ever hit. The fiber didn’t even go that high during the Civil War’s cotton embargo. It is now up 170% since a year ago and more than 40% since the beginning of 2011. Short-term squeezes have definitely contributed, as mills scramble to buy futures contracts to fix physical supply prices. But there are solid fundamentals to blame as well. Demand for textiles, especially from China, has rebounded sharply from lows set in the global financial crisis. Meanwhile, on the supply side, flooding has led to very poor cotton crops in Pakistan and Australia. In short, cotton prices aren’t going down anytime soon. The Cotton Supply Shortage A shortage ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Polo Ralph Lauren Corp.&#8216;s (RL) fiscal 2010 fourth-quarter earnings more than doubled to $1.13 per share from 44 cents in the year-ago period, driven by higher sales and robust gross margin. In addition, quarterly earnings surged past the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 63 cents derived from 14 covering analysts. Quarterly Details Polo&#8217;s net revenues during the quarter rose 9.2% to $1.3 billion from $1.2 billion in the prior-year quarter. The growth was primarily driven by strong retail sales, which grew 31% year over year to $554.3 million, mainly due to solid growth in same-store sales, benefit of a 53rd week and contribution from newly-assumed Asian operations. However, overall revenues were partially offset by wholesale revenues, which declined 3% year over year to $736.0 million due to lower global apparel shipments. ]]></description>

Earnings were well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 96 cents and were up 10.8% year-over-year. Net sales for the quarter declined 3.4% year-over-year to $1.3 billion, primarily due to lower domestic wholesale sales, a reduction in same-store sales at the company’s retail segment and approximately 1% unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. These were partially offset by the wholesale contribution of formerly licensed childrenswear and golf apparel products in Japan, and low single-digit currency growth in Europe. Gross margins for the quarter expanded 189 basis points (bps) to 59.1% versus 57.3% in the comparable prior-year quarter. The increase was attributable to improved wholesale and retail segment margins, particularly in ]]></description>

The number eight is considered lucky by the Chinese, because in Cantonese (the language of South China) the word for prosperity is “fa”, which sounds like “ba” (eight). Let the gains begin. Fortune also smiled upon stock markets, with the S&#38;P 500 Index scoring its first back-to-back weekly gain since April as the US dollar rallied strongly and oil and commodities plummeted. The S&#38;P 500’s gain since the low of July 15 has been 6.7%, with the Financial SPDR up by 27.8%.
