There is a good write up on this opportunity on post-ipo sleepers, but my interest primarily lies in the setup of this stock. Entry point below $22, sell if it goes below $21 (or if you are bold, double down - pretty good bet you will be rewarded), then sell anywhere above $28 for a nice gain. Also, there is a good chance you can complete the above within this calendar year.

Who am I to judge whether the women in my life have "enough" handbags and purses? Did you know that Vera Bradley (VRA) makes their signature totes for toothbrushes and curling irons?

Fashion products are always a huge risk. I'm. Making this call based on the GARP aspect though.

Almost every girl that I know owns a purse made by this company (it’s a very popular product right now).

The company has outstanding fundamentals and is trading at a reasonable valuation. Considering that the company is still in its early growth stage, I think this stock will perform well over the next few years.

Vera Bradley has dropped significantly in price the last few months. It should be a double over the next two years. The women in the Midwest are fanatics about her purses.

Company is facing slower growth growing forward. They are trying to get out of this malaise by going international, but that is a work in progress.

Also, shareholders have actually bailed out in the previous few quarters through massive share sales. This is terrible since none of the proceeds went to the company and instead went to exiting insiders. Makes you wonder why?

I see trouble brewing ahead for this shady company and greater declines going forward.

The share price dropped drastically two days ago because of a short term income lapse. Overreaction. Still a great long term investment. Has only begun its accent back up to a reasonable market price.

This is a small/mid cap high growth stock that should outperform the S&P during the bull market.

My wife loves this stuff! Five years ago she was subscribing to NetFlix and asked me if they were publicly traded and said she wanted to invest in them (I hadn't really heard of them or paid attention before that). Anyway, VRA is no NFLX, but I'm going with my wife on them and we'll see what happens.

My mom and sister can't get enough of them.. my mother had 3 of the SAME SIZE bag, BUT with different patterns and colors.. But like any clothing or style manu. I look at them as fad-riding companies that ebb and flow with the curent fad.
