About market, TAPE was much better today although indices were UP slightly, internals were strong. Many sectors participated today which is healthy. There is a fear from technical point of view that there is a strong resistance around 1780 to 1785 area, please factor this in trading strategy.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hey Saleem,

I posted a CSOD conference call summary on your afternoon post (was in the middle of typing it out when your evening recap came).

KORS before the bell tomorrow for me. Frankly, I'm not sure what Q3 looked like due to the weakness in many consumer spending areas, but I still like the name going forward. It certainly seems like with gasoline prices down and sentiment up, it could really be a great Christmas for shopping! :)

Hi Stocktrader,

Thanks for posting CSOD recap..i will read your review.

KORS Q4 should be very good...i may position for that as my next trade.

Good luck with AM report on KORS...

Hey Saleem,

Nice report by KORS in a weak apparel environment (although, of course, they have lots of accessories too which helped).

Unfortunately, I'll miss a good chunk of this conference call (listening already) dropping off the kids.

At least it's not a "concern" situation, so a replay later should suffice for whatever I miss.

Hey Saleem,

Despite CSOD's nice earnings and outlook, you can tell institutions are still skeptical that CSOD can actually make this work longer term. Many of the analysts' questions last night start with "I get a lot of questions on...", meaning they are fielding many questions from clients about CSOD's competitive position and ultimate place in the HR space.

I'm not sure CSOD can answer this skepticism except through continued execution, but may depress valuation until institutions are more confident. Additionally, I am interested to see if short interest grows over time.

Ultimately, skepticism is good, but I'll be watching carefully, and it makes it tempting to take the profits and run. The only way I'd really get concerned though is if the stock breaks under $45.

Hi Stocktrader,

KORS had a beat on both Sales & EPS...

They are guiding higher sales & UPOD on EPS by being below 1 cents...guiding 84 vs expected 85 cents.....

KORS is a good hold.
