BUY

Have done a great job. Recent quarter was very good with great growth in revenues and margins better than expected. The one drag would have been cotton prices but they have backed off.

DON'T BUY

Have cotton prices locked in for the current quarter so margins won’t be affected right now. Cotton prices have quadrupled in the last couple of years and ultimately this will hit them..

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 25/08. Down 67%.) Announced orders had slowed and came out with an earnings warning for 2009. Plants are still running full out. Trading at 8X earnings and with no debt, should be a safe buy.

SELL

Disappointed in the ability of the management to correctly communicate what earnings are going to be like and what their plans are.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Too much risk.

TOP PICK

Had a production hiccup that caused a fairly substantial fall. That has been rectified. All of the growth multiples have been taken out of this company. Trades at about 13 X earnings. Have earnings growth ahead of them. Low cost producer. Strong management.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 25/08. Down 32%) Had an earnings miss. Still selling lots of t-shirts. Moving production off shore will const them in the near term.

SHORT

(Market Call Minute.) He is shorting a lot of consumer stocks. Consumers are not spending money.

DON'T BUY

His initial reaction is to stay away. Stock has had a very, very long ride, but started to reverse at the beginning of this year. Broke through a major support at $32. Now in a major negative trend.

DON'T BUY

If this meets some of the analysts’ expectations, it's a lot more reasonable than it was. Earnings projections are taking them from the $.75 level last year, up to $1 in the next 2 years, so at the current price it still looks quite pricey. Thinks international competition is hitting them.

DON'T BUY

Did extremely well for years and years with high growth, high margin and a spectacular track record. His rule is that when it changes into a negative, he stays away. Usually one bad quarter is followed by another. If there is a bounce, consider selling.

TOP PICK

Manufactures T-shirts and golf shirts, etc. Has been taking market share from its peers. As they drop their cost of production, they drop their prices.

DON'T BUY

It will probably be under continuing pressure. They make a discretionary product and where international competition is causing severe cost pressures.

TOP PICK

Make accretive acquisitions. A growth company. Trades at 17X earnings and earnings are growing at 20% to 30% per annum. Can't see why it shouldn't trade at 20X earnings or higher.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A fantastic company that is very well run. He has concerns on cotton costs. They have to execute on some new lines for Wal-Mart. Also could have tariffs put on.
