Hit another new 52-week high today with its 5th consecutive gain. Apparel-related stocks have shown recent leadership (L criteria). Prior mid-day reports have noted - "It has returned to profitability in recent quarters and is an interesting turn around story, however its sales and earnings history fall below the fact-based system's guidelines after losses in FY '08 and '09. Based on technical deterioration it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/7/07 when still above $40. It has rebounded significantly from ultimate lows below $1.00 which it hit shortly after it was last reviewed in the FSU section of the After Market Update under the headline 'Gaps Down With Heavy Volume Are A Classic Sign of Institutional Selling'. A review of the old analysis is recommended."
