In TIF, ANF.. (not daytrades).. New positions from July 20 till today: MECK,NSOL,TIF,ANF. MECK, (has been excellent rise in the last 5 trading sessions and could be close to a sell) NSOL will perhaps be sold after the earnings report unless the trend reverses before then. XEIKY, TKLC, will be swing trades. Three options (10 calls each): IMNX, AMR, ERICY all for August expiration. TIF had a very positive write up in Barron's last week. I had it on my watch list a day ago, it went nowhere but today it's doing well. excerpted from Barrons... Based on next year's earnings projections, the shares of TIF trade at a price-earnings multiple around 15 or 16. That about 3/4 as high as the expected growth rate for profits, which are climbing by about 20% annually. Although a doze of the 16 analysts reporting to First Call have buy recommendations on Tiffany, the stock, at Friday's close of 43 1/2 was more thatn 15% below this year's high. The shares may be incurring what Willam Chaney, the company's longtime chairman and CEO, calls an "Asian Penalty," even though that regions' economic woes are likely to nick per share net by just a penny or so per quarter. .. What's particularly ironic is that the company's business is booming in Japan, the most important Asian market... The company is on track to meet First Call's concensus earnings estimate of $2.38 a share this year and $2.78 in 1999. For 1997, Tiffany reported a 25% increase in net income to $72.8 million... ... The goal is to open 3 shops yearly in the US. ANF.. MACD is bullish and the trend was up before today. Relative strength is bullish and volume indicators (OBV, Up/Down volume ratio is bullish). Price is close to breaking through support at 46 5/8. next resistance is at 48.50. Next Quarter's Growth Rate estimated at 163.64%
