Retailers hot with female girls

[zyzzyva57]

As a non-stock guru, I still enjoy playing Cramer, so...

I work with teenagers and this is the result of an informal survey when I asked: "If I gave you $250 gift certificate, what store(s) would you prefer?"

"aro" [Very popular -- Never even heard of the chain till now]
"anf" [its Hollister acquisition is a major plus]
"aeos"
"psun"


Blah Award: The Gap

I always liked Hooters, how's that doing?

[zyzzyva57]

Hooters, of course, is not mentioned by teen age gurls

What I am anticipating is the Christmas season

The red hot company is not "anf," which Master Cramer covered tonite again, but "aro," which I had not even heard of before (like last year Wet Seal)

"Anf" is second hot and the gurls love Hollister part of the company

Interesting is teen boys also love the 4 companies I mentioned

Hooters for teens have what I call the Giggle Factor

I I prefer the jiggle factor, if you know what I mean

BAD FORM!!

Ain't Cramer taught you NOT to become emotional!

You got to be sociopathic and cynical with this game!

Anyway, the problem begins with the fact Hooters is private

Alas, like Waffle House

By the way, if I was a big shot money man I would mix the Waffle House concept with Hooters and build a chain called SkantZ

(1) Waffle Houses are always built on the right side of the road to morning traffic

(2) Ergo, my chain would be located on the left side of the road for evening traffic

(3) The theme of SkantZ would be skant servers and waitresses

Incidently, Starbucks should factor in building Starbucks to ez access for morning traffic

I like this thread for 3 reasons. First off I think you are right on the money with the retail stocks. All the girls on campus here where clothes from the same stores. Second I never thought about Waffle Houses' being on the side of the road w/morning traffic but I can't think of one that is contrary to that. Thirdly I like how your topic specifies 'female girls', to suggest that there is any other option.

You nailed me on the "female gurl" thangamajig

G-great!!

Geez, for my encore performance in redunancy, I shall forthwith discuss what is happening tonite at 6 pm or Master Cramer most unique performance

Anyway, on your end do you find these teen "female gurls" liking "aro," too

I sense this stock may well surprise many shortly--It is red hot here in the south

Unfortunately, Waffle House is private, as is In and Out Burgers (the hot restaurant with the Hollywood crowd) and yea, it is a factoid about how Waffle House locate its restaurants -- You would think another restaurant chain would do this concept for the going home traffic

How about ZQK?

It’s three bucks off its 52-week high (and 1.50 off its low) after missing on earnings a few weeks ago. Winter should look good with the company’s products being both a staple in clothing around Christmas, as well as the snowboarding community starting to rev up again. If you believe in PSUN, this is a huge seller there. And as a snowboarder, this stuff can’t be beat. It can’t miss on both.

Anyways, with the earnings expectations lowered and (I’d assume) some good times up ahead, I’m hoping they do well for the annual in January and break through to the 15-17 range again.

I’m new at this, but I believe in the product and it looks like it’s near a low.

Any thoughts?

I work with teenagers and am always doing informal and unofficial surveys what female teenage gurls are buying

The Gap is thumbs down with them

I listed above the retail stocks they like

"anf" they like but they run into problems with parents when they spend a big amount of money on one pair of jeans

"aro" apparently have prices parents can tolerate--is this a new factor to consider vis-a-vis teenage gurl retail stocks?

I am trying to anticipate a new shoe or shoe store, because I know how much Cramer loves shoe stocks

This week, I am looking at hunting and fishing stocks teenage males love that Wall Street has not discovered

I am trying to learn how to do a "Cramer" and spot trends ahead of time, particularly for the holiday season and before Cramer spots them and the stocks get a Cramer Bounce

zz, it depends on your time frame with regards to your holding. ARO is nothing new from my college days. Ppl wore it but I perceive it as more of a fad than anything else. The stalworts like ANF and AE have staying power. ARO may grab Wall St.s attention for a quick trade but as an investment it lacks the historical best-of-breed performance of the other two.

Where Aero is focused on teens ANF, especially, has created lines from child (little abercrombie) to 30 somethings (Reuhl). Granted one can make the argument that Aero has room to grow but in an ever crowded marketplace can they beat out the more established ANF and AE? My money is on the Fitch.
