The Company designs, manufactures, sources and sells apparel essentials products such as t-shirts, bras, panties, men's underwear, kids' underwear, socks, hosiery, casualwear and activewear.

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.

Buying HBI is one of the best opportunities to invest like a private equity investor using the leverage of debt with strong cash flow to financially engineer strong returns over time.





Can be a core portfolio holding.

$2.6 billion debt and restructuring charges will eat a lot of cash flow. Don't see how this stock can go up. Maybe it will be worthy of investment in a couple of years. Glad I sold my spinoff shares. No regrets.

Undifferentiated company heading into a cyclical downturn with a heavy debt load. Almost no bargaining power with buyers or suppliers (especially Wal-mart). Very strong competition will erode margins. The leverage will eventually be the death of them.

Check the Yahoo message boards and you'll find a post alleging that Herb Greenberg’s new research service issued a short sale recommendation on HBI. Good enough for Herb...good enough for me!!! Want to look smart? Just do what other smart people do.

Hanesbrands is in the midst of a restructuring plan. The price of this stock reached a new 52-week high of $36.8800 on an intraday basis. Cramer states "That's a remarkable turn-around company.” I think it should be at least a 20% growth over the next 3-4 years. They focus on lower cost items, perfect for our uncertain economy at this time.
