Liz Claiborne, Inc. (LIZ)

Impressed by management's frankness on earnings call. Bad news already reflected in stock. Meanwhile, expect aggressive, proactive measures to be announced at analyst meeting in July. Stock should move up going into, and coming out of, that meeting. Should outperform the market significantly over the next 2-6 months.

This may be my last chance to short this stock (again).
I expect a spring bankruptcy sale.

LIZ owns or licenses several brands, which could enable the company to generate significant growth over the long-term. While the company generates the bulk of its revenues from wholesale operations, LIZ is looking to improve its retail segment. Further, the company plans to open Juicy Couture retail stores, which could add significantly to the top line if the company succeeds in positioning the brand similar to COH. While there have been few success stories involving wholesalers becoming successful retailers, the strength of LIZ's brands lead me to believe the company could be one of the few. Finally, most if not all of the analysts covering the stock are not bullish. Thus, if the company's strategy is remotely successful, there could be a sudden rise in interest.

It's fundamental is weak. All that grows is the expectation and its M&A with Kate Spade. Now it's been up 34% since July and reached 43 price tgt and reached the tgt of double bottom from tech analysis. I bet there will be a retreat since there is no fundamental support to all of this.

Decreasing on the cash flow. Down on the net income. Not doing well on the return on equity. For the past few month is is underperform less than s&p500. the the gap between them is geting farther away.

It is underperform.

One of my first picks. I'm new to this game and need a lot of coaching from my fellow CAPS members! I like Claiborne and think that it may have the potential to go down before it goes up. Buy low and sell high!

Under valued

Tuff times ahead for specialty retail

The debt level of this company could result in bankrupcy.

This CAPS account is tracking the 200 highest yielding S&P stocks.

Eventually the steps being taken wll result in a leaner and profitable company.

Still have a product people want. Cutting costs... basically discout fashion now... in discount times, but with a name.

Thanks to all those who came before me and for all those yet to come.

Falling 50-day moving average and one of the largest intraday high-low ranges (based on the average percent spread between the intraday high and low over the last fifty days).

Consumer confidence increasing

Liz Claiborne Inc. is nothing more than a short-term dying cash cow. The exclusive contract they just signed with J.C Penny and QVC will only bloat your stock numbers for a few days max. Unless there is extensive restructuring of management or some kind of flawless ad campaign coming soon, I see nothing more than a day traders play thing for a few hours.

Wall street is discounting this stock for it's debt. Already priced in economic struggles leaves a nice upside during recovery.

LIZ CLAIBORNE is a very undervalued stock considering the many top-notch brand names they have on their customer list.

With such a low price, the stock is ripe for a takeover bid which should be in the low-10's at least.

There was a tie-up recently with JC Penny but no takeover (yet). Sooner or later, someone will see the potential in this stock and I feel if you buy CALL OPTIONS immediately with strike price of 10 for expiry in Jan'10, you will thank me for the rest of your life.

Like the new deal - conservative, but with it the stock is worth some of its salt.
