A retailer that operates stores selling casual apparel, such as woven and knit shirts, denim, graphic t-shirts, shorts, personal care and other accessories for men, women and kids under Abercrombie & Fitch, abercrombie, Hollister and RUEHL brands.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

ANF is well managed, with excellent ROIC and now debt. It has had some reversals of late with the concern over the softening economy which has driven it's P/E down to a reasonable value. The apparel industry is somewhat of a minefield, but the management at ANF has a record of recovering from stum...More

Abercrombie & Fitch looks to be in the wrong line of business right now. True they have middle-range apparel stores, but they are most commonly associated as Abercrombie or Abercrombie & Fitch which will be higher end apparel stores and higher end apparel looks TERRIBLE.

This hit a 52 week low.

This is a bet that retailing will really pick up when the economy does.

Not exactly sure why anyone would pay a premium for a t-shirt with the Abercrombie and Fitch logo on it. It's a trend that completely passed me by, but I admit that most do. The company has somehow managed to convince people they are trendy, but they sell pretty lame stuff. It could just as easily have a label on it that said "Walmart" and you'd never notice any difference in quality. This trend is overdue to peter out. I suspect you will soon be able to find a nice selection of Abercrombie clothes at your local Goodwill store.

My daughter's pick. And her portfolio, based mostly on what she and friends like, looks a lot healthier than mine!

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
