TAN, CC and BBY: Electronic Goods Sales Boom Powers Stocks
By Steve James

NEW YORK (Reuters) - From boom boxes to digital big-screen TV's to computer equipment, Americans' appetite for the latest electronic gadgets is driving up the stock of the big shopping-mall appliance chains.

Shares in Circuit City Stores Inc. (NYSE:CC - news) , the No. 1 U.S. retailer of branded consumer electronics, Tandy Corp (NYSE:TAN - news) which operates Radio Shack stores, and Best Buy Co. Inc., were all trading higher Friday after robust sales reports.

At 1:30 p.m. EDT Friday, all these stocks were trading at 52-week highs. Circuit City stock was $3.37 higher at $78.50. Tandy was at a year record of $87.06, up $3.25 from Thursday's close, and Best Buy was also above its best of the year at $58.06, up $2.75.

''We have been bullish on all three and continue to recommend them aggressively,'' said analyst Donald Trott, of Brown Brothers Harriman.

But he said that contrary to popular belief, the gains had little to do with the booming U.S. economy.
