Alan Brochstein Finds 16 Retailers that May to be “On Sale”

Alan Brochstein looks at retailers down sharply from the highs. As I have said before, years of watching the fortunes of retailers ebb and flow have taught me that one way to succeed in picking among the stocks is not to chase winners, but rather to pick them up when they have disappointed.  In other words, when it comes to being a buyer of retailers, it can pay to buy things “on sale”.  It’s not as easy as just buying what’s down, because you don’t want to end up with a company that has lost its edge permanently.  While the Consumer stocks in general have been performing well as investors see improving consumer sentiment and stabilizing input costs and seek companies with perhaps more domestic focus, the performance within the sector has been quite diverse.
