TOP PICK
Just acquired a US hosiery/underwear company that will be a major side of their future expansion. Very strong company. Great cash flow. Growth rate over the last 5 years has been over 30%. Will be relocating some of their factories to Honduras, Nicaragua and Dominican Republic.
HOLD
A very effective growth company. Have branched out from T-shirts to socks, hosiery et cetera. He could still see some higher prices. Well-run company. Nice growth rate.
TOP PICK
Have demonstrated an ability to compete with almost any low-cost manufacturer anywhere in the world. Incredibly strong management. Their ability to grow their earnings consistently for the next 2 years is there. Won't be heavily impacted by a slowdown in the economy. Cheap.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 3/05. Down 1.5%.) Continues to execute on its strategy. They are now going directly to consumers. Competition is getting a little tougher.
BUY
And excellent company. Great growth prospects. Has had a tremendous run. Still a great value at the present price.
BUY
Great management team. Market domination. Globally competitive. Growth rate is good.
HOLD
Has been a great winner. Whenever you have a stock doing that kind of a sharp move, you have to be ready for some correction. If you own, keep your eye on $33/35.
TOP PICK
A great boring company throwing off lots of free cash flow. Trading at 15 X this year's earnings and about 12 X next year's. Has a 20% earnings growth. Growth is through internal cash flow. Moving production into Central America. Competition from China is limited as their costs are lower than the Chinese.
BUY
A slow grower, but hopefully stable. Had problems with labour practices, but that is now behind them.
TOP PICK
Although it's had a good run, valuations still look attractive. Have had dominance in the Tshirt business. Thinks that is going to move out into golf as well as their own brand of products for the Wal-marts of the world. Moving production into Central America with very low costs.
