Limited Brands Inc. (LTD)

This stock is real cheap right now for a name brand like this. People will start to buy it up and buy years end we will see 35.

The move to take several brands (Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, etc.) to Europe will be a long term winning move, but short term may have a few bumps in the road.

Aug 20, 2008 Q2 2008 Earnings Release - 4:00PM EDT

Victoria's Secret = Awesome

Store sales still way down. Has had a nice run-up, time for a pullback. Overvalued. Shorted some at $17.57

Victoria Secret stores are expanding in size which will open the stores up to the consumer and make the cluttered stores more appealing. Women have to buy their underwear, and though their PINK line has low profit margines, I do not see a slowing of its sales in the future. The line is solid, especially among college-aged students.

I love the company as a whole but they will probably have to cut their dividend in the face of a downturn since they are carrying so much debt

Victoria Secrets what else can I say.

Notoriously unable to retain talent in merchandising. The revolving door seems to be spinning faster there over the last six months. In particular, I believe that customers will notice a decline in the quality of goods offered at Bath and Body Works as the company devotes a higher and higher percentage of the sales floor to proprietary brands. These goods may have better margins but are not of consistent quality and will not keep the customers coming back.

As the consumers start buying again this stock will come back again bigtime.

Bath & Body Works and the bath & body line from Victoria's Secret carry good gift ideas for spring occassions (bridal showers, baby showers, easter baskets etc.). Good prices.

whats victorias secret? its that this stock is now selling at a new 52 week low with a dividend over 8%

SmartMoney pick

Oversold

a good clothing stock

Victoria's Secret for the holidays!

this retailer is getting pounded today (down 7.4%), yet is growing, has good >30% ROE, little debt, a dividend to boot.

I like the business...when will women ever NOT want to buy underwear and things that make them smell and feel good? Management is good and I think they will surprise.

Great VSC franchise, good balance sheet, monetizable sourcing asset, will be a survivor with multi-dollar EPS power once things normalize. Could rise 3-4 fold over time.
