CAPS Rating:
****

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 members 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.

this hardwood flooring retailer has great store economics, and is growing share and generating free cash flow in the toughest consumer environment since 1982. Very competitive positioning is paying off now, and will only do better when the consumer situation stabilizes in late 2009/2010.
Beats HD and LOW and independents on price, kills them in selection, and beats HD/LOW on service hands down.

Lumber Liquidators Inc. deals in the sales of hardwood flooring. They currently have 116 stores in 43 states, which allows for growth since the market isn't saturated as of yet. Year over year sales have been steadily increasing. However, it's EPS is tending to chill over the past two years, probably due to the housing slump. Their sales are probably heavily reliant on housing renovations. If they expand their product line away from strictly hardwood flooring as many companies do with very focused product lines and good balance sheets, they should be able to harness more growth. Goldman Sachs recently decreased its expectations for company growth and therefore there was a slight pullback in the share price. I believe the share price will snap back sharply in the next month as many of the piggy-backing doubters have been flushed from stock ownership.

I was attracted by the most recent earnings statement, and then the story improved. There are domestic expansion plans, foreign expansion plans, the product line is solid for a niche company, and if LL keeps cutting into Lowe's and Home Depot's market share, it may become a takeover target. I also like the increased advertising exposure that I've noticed with NASCAR, NPR and other venues. I do own this stock.
