Small caps are getting overlooked because of the concerns in the big caps. Have to get a better market to get some performance. Could drop a little bit further to about $7.10.

They reported a kitchen-sink quarter today where managers throw in everything bearish to get ahead of things. The new CEO has a fine track record and this was his first quarter at VFC: in-line sales, slightly weaker than expected earnings, slashed its free-cash guidance and cut dividend. He's pulling for them.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The retailer owns the brand names of The North Face and Vans. Its recently reported earnings were on par with expectations and supported a strong ROE of 35%. The company has continued to grow cash reserves, while retiring debt and buying back shares. It pays a good dividend that has been growing for 48 consecutive years and is backed by a payout ratio under 65% of cash flow. We recommend setting a stop loss at $36.00, looking to achieve $64.50 -- upside potential over 42%. Yield 4.3% (Analysts’ price target is $64.50)

BUY
Model price has come down from previous talks on it and is now $14.21. Has come down because more analysts are picking it up. There is a more realistic earnings number for '05. Sees good growth ahead. Trading at a 40% discount from its current price.

Will soon be reporting earnings and are looking forward to evaluating it. Starting this March, will probably start getting year over year earnings.
