Anfield Gold, ANF-X

BUY

Is up 22% for her, but won't take profits now. It trades at 12x PE and yields 2.5%. It's a turnaround story run by a good CEO and creative director. They are gaining market share in 3 of their 4 brands. Likes it long term.

BUY

Likes CEO. It's been gaining market share for 7 straight quarters as inventory declines the past 8.

BUY

She added to the Gap, purely because of the CEO change, and it's taken time for him to make an impact by hiring new executives to his team, resulting in inventory control and better gross margins. Have been gaining market share for the last 6 quarters.

BUY

It reports Thursday. They delivered an amazing last quarter. Shares soared, then plunged. He expects another great quarter, but no crash.

COMMENT

It's turning around. Just reported. Only 1% growth in same-store sales in their largest division, Old Navy, but shares caught fire, even though other divisions should weakness.

BUY

Shares had fallen before last week's report. They beat far better same-store sales and an earnings beat which surprised the street. Shares soared over 30% last Friday, hammering short-sellers.

DON'T BUY

Walmart will crush everything when it reports tomorrow. Avoid the Gap. Avoid.

SELL

He sold 20 positions and now has his highest cash position (over 60%) since 2008. The reason is that he doesn't know what will happen with the economy and is bracing for a big decline if that happens. If so, he will buy back these shares at a lot lower price. He sold Gap, among others. He often gets Gap emails touting 60-70% off. He sold many retailers, because he expects them to slash prices to move inventory. Higher interest rates are another worry.

DON'T BUY

American Eagle is better (he owns it) at a 3% yield and good managers and it just bought a great company, and the stock is getting hammered. So, how can he recommend Gap, whose business is worse?

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate GPS as a TOP PICK. The company continues to demonstrate itself as a leader in e-commerce as an apparel retailer. It trades at 12x earnings, compared to peers at 19x. It pays a decent dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow and cash reserves continue to grow. We would buy this with a relatively tight stop at $20.00 -- looking to achieve $34.00 (upside potential over 45%). Yield 2.12% (Analysts’ price target is $34.25)

BUY

It reports next Thursday. They've done a great turnaround at the Gap and Old Navy stores, and customers are loyal. However, he doesn't like the current valuation after a big move.

BUY

It had a 30% move in the first half of this year and he expects better in the second. It trades at only 16x PE. He sees a good future here with their celebrities.

BUY

The U.S. reopening trade People will buy business casual again and this will be a huge driver in the apparel space. So, Gap or even Macy's fits the bill. However, to play the US reopening, buy energy stocks.
