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.

While the 10-day moving average started its downward trend in June, it has recently shown signs of possibly reversing that trend, pushing the 10-day moving average above the 50-...More

Recs 0 (MLHR) deciding39 (67.14) Submitted: 7/23/08 11:46 AM : Start Price: $25.76 MLHR Score: 5.59 +Unique, innovative products that are unmatched by competitors in terms of quality, comfort, and ergonomic design. +Strong mindshare. When most people think of office furniture, Herman Miller is the name that comes to mind. And I've found that when people are talking about their chair, it's not just their office chair, but their Herman Miller office chair. +Strong international sales growth due to the declining dollar. Nearly 20% of sales are now international and this figure is growing quickly, negating the domestic slowdown in sales. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

The company is in control of rising input costs, in part because it is one of the leaders in energy and resource efficiency and these efficiencies translate into a strong brand associated with environmental and social responsibility as well as operational advantages over competitors that will be amplified by increased input costs. The company that has learned to do more, and do it more stylishly, with less, and recover those inputs by how they design the product in the first place, is going to come out on top. In a recent quarterly report conference call management articulated aspirations well beyond establishing and maintaining a competitive furniture company: "The vision is the same; to grow and diversify our business moving us from being primarily a US office furniture manufacturer to becoming a global habitat company with a formula centered around performance innovation." ... a GLOBAL HABITAT COMPANY centered around performance and innovation, trading at 10x earnings.
