Upthumb. Good cash flow. 17% sales growth. No debt. Very high margins. Accelerating their store expansion growth.

CEO Wildrick is either a raving paranoid or is covering up an accounting scandal. Neither would be good.

JOSB (Jos. A. Banks Clothiers)
This mens apparel retailer has 425 stores in 42 states. Even with in the face of a recession they have been able to grow revenues 27% since 2007 and earnings by 35%. This seems company seems like quite a bargain considering it is trading at just 13 times trailing earnings and less than 11 times forward estimates (which have been getting bumped up over the past 90 days). Add in the fact they have $0 debt and $126 million in cash, well you've got an even better deal yet. I've yet to shop at one, but I'll be buying some stock in the company because they've proven they can manage steady growth even in rough times and are positioned excellently with their huge cash hoard. Eventually I'd expect this company will also announce a cash dividend. One more interesting fact: Institutional investors own 109% of this company. You read that right. 109%.

my ideal starting price is around 35, but even at this level it looks poised to outperform. its a very fast growing chain, but incredibly cheap despite their performance and returns.

Just a top notch retailer. Little debt and high sales- year after year. Ask anyone in the office and everyone has good things to say about josb. Especially for those that can't afford Brooks but don't like mens ware. What other choice do you have.
