Great product

between roxy clothing and the fact that some types of clothing never go out of style i think they will last

1. Quality products. They are more durable than competors.

2. Diversification, they have covered several different areas within the sports clothing market without becoming over expanded.

3. Iconic, Quiksilver is a staple within the sports apperal world. It is an easily identified brand.

4. It will recover from its economic blunder, (purchasing Rossignol) and will beat the market, especially at a depressed price of under $2.50

Considering Book value, earnings, and market cap...this should beat the market in 5 years.Considering Book value, earnings, and market cap...this should beat the market in 5 years.

up, rebound

DC shoes is getting a large amount of pub time on MTV and every action sport on the planet. They are moderately priced shoes, and have a stylistic appeal which is a great combo for a shoe selection in a sour economy. DC Shoes is a large reason I am picking this stock to be highly profitable in the upcoming quarters. High was around 10 over the last 52 and is now priced at 1 1/2

Once the economy starts churning again this one will be sure to reflect positive numbers.

Great comapny. Very high brand recognition in Europe and South American Countries.

Looking for a big drop in retail stocks over the next few months. Not a bad company but things dont look well, specifically in the targeted demographic.

Strong image. good management. As retail recovers, look to Quik to move sharply up.

slow go on retail sales at the moment.....

Mmm...boarding clothing...

Looking good for a company that topped analysts and completely flipped the script for a quarterly profit!

underpriced, long term player in the sporting goods sector. Relatively recession proof.

I go to school at University of Hawaii and just thinking about what my friends and I have been buying lately, and other than beer and food, it has been almost exclusively clothing in the last few months. I've probably spent over a thousand dollars on surf related clothes this semester, and thats just me. While I'm from New Jersey, and this trend is apparent only to me out here, I'm coming home and bringing on this trend at home, even if I don't tell anyone directly, I find I am usually at the head of a fad or trend when it comes to twentysomethings. While I have bought a decent amount of clothes from Stussy and Billabong as well, Quicksilver is really what I have been picking up more than anything else, simply because their clothes and apparel are generally cooler/nicer, and their stores are very welcoming - it's hard not to walk in, at least as a person of my age, and not pick something up. Yesterday for example, on a Sunday, the store closed at 11pm, and me a friend went their because we received coupons. Even at 10:30pm on a Sunday, the cashiers were fairly swamped, many purchases being over $150. Beginning my research today, I immediately was suprised at how inexpensive the stock is valued, especially considering the price of Volcom, which really carries the same demographic, probably even less. I'm putting my money in ZQK, especially with June right around the corner and the heat turning up on the Mainland. Go Quicksilver!
