ZLC Video Chart 2/17/12
http://www.qualitystocks.net/videocharts.php
I was a tad early...
I already added :)
Current charts show a downtrend. I think we can get the "cheapies" at under 2.80
Zale Corporation announced sales results for the combined months of November and December 2011. For the period, the company announced that comparable store sales increased 5.9%, encompassing the entire holiday selling period. This increase follows an 8.5% rise in the same period last year. Within this two-month period, comparable store sales increased 10.1% in November and 4.2% in December. At constant exchange rates, which exclude the effect of translating Canadian currency denominated sales into U.S. dollars, comparable store sales increased 6.2% for the holiday selling period, compared to an increase of 7.6% in the prior year period. Revenues were $564 million compared to $533 million in the same period last year, an increase of 5.8%. Revenues include approximately $10 million resulting from the change in warranty revenue recognition. The company provided earnings guidance for the second quarter ending January 31, 2012. For the quarter ending January 31, 2012, the company expects gross margin to be consistent with the prior year quarter's gross margin of 50.3%. Operating margin is expected to be slightly below the prior year quarter's operating margin of 7.0% due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses primarily driven by the holiday advertising campaign and marketing for the launch of proprietary products.
Opertunities all over the place today!! Shares cheap for me!! hahaha!!!
ZALE is fine, this stock was just being shorted off of Tiffany news!!
Give it a couple more days and try to buy under 3...its bounce back to 3.50 within the month.
I wouldnt mind if this dips back down to 3ish. I would just ride it back up to 4 =)
looks like easy bounce to 80 by the end of the day?
I sold 2/3's of my shares before $4...
I didn't think it would break through.
I wish I'd sold the rest YESTERDAY :(
but NO WORRIES...
I didn't sell because I think it will go higher
...eventually! LOL!
Good luck trading!
:)
Eh, not the day I was hoping for but I might take profits tomorrow. It feels like its going to be an ugly week. Hopefully I'll see you at 3.09 again
I'm really surprised that not only has it broke
the $4 resistance twice now...
but today it's going up when EVERYTHING else seems to be tanking!
I wonder why?
No complaints here!
Let's see that $4.50!!!
:)
we'll see if it fails at 4 again...
I'm hoping it will break through this time!
I got in back in early Oct...
hope this goes to 4.50 by next week!
I was greedy and waited too long. grabbed at 3.15. Still good imo
glty as well
Hope you got those 3.09's...
Good for you!
and Good luck trading!
3.09 is better. Patience is key. Hoping to snag a lot below 3
I think you're getting a bargain at 3.30...
why quibble over a few ¢ and miss out altogether?
Crazy what the market has done to this lately...
Good luck!
Please let this dip down below 3 again.
it's a volitle stock. many swings. hasn't been good for a long hold. glty
My honey bought Zales the other day...
has seen some NICE gains!
He doesn't do iHub...
so I thought I'd check the "public opinion" for him.
Never figured the board would be totally devoid of posts
since the beginning of the year!
:)
HELLLLOOOOO?
Anyone out there?
Gezz..this board is REALLY DEAD! :)
Hey brikk..sorry to say I missed this one this year..I even brought it up..but forgot about it...this is a great seasonal play year over year it seems...I am glad to see you caught it..congrats
ZLC, $5.73 - popped up and held...
Is that the same prediction you were making in July-November 2009 when the stock was trading in the $6-$8 range for a solid half year?
I always like this for the first 2 quarters of the year..I start looking at it to buy around Nov, dec & Jan.and out in march...main pops are from christmas and V-day revs...thats just me though...worked out the last 2 or 3 years for me..GL
this breakout the resistance of 2.12 yesterday and went down to 1.96. I thought it will fly when its breaking this resistance.... Market is not so good, not sure, how its going to react today !!!
Anyone have any thought on this one?
I'm ready 2.04 Up with market,bodes well even with now news...stock left for death might kaboom. just a losing $ co, but we are way way too far from BK. Sometimes some big investors mouths think they know the co destinity.
:)
Hope it kabooms .
Still haven't jumped in. Kind of uncertain about ZLC, may get some CSCO instead. Good luck.
Should pop coming week.Earning News.
ZLC having murmurs of a buyout ... I'd be careful though these could be acquisition rumors for Zales .
Nice to see this show some life today. I thought we were at the bottom of the trading range, but then the bottom fell out a bit. I'll stick with it for a few weeks to see if it recovers some more. Another day like today and at least I'll be close to even.

Greetings Ihubbers! I've been watching Zale Corporation for some time, and used to shop there as well. The company is one of the older fine jewelry retailers in North America, and has had a great run so far this year from under a dollar to nearly eight! There are a few things that lead me to believe Zale's is still a good buy and has plenty of room to improve once consumer spending returns to more sustainable levels. What seems odd as well is the fact that S&P dropped coverage due to a "change in investor focus" though Zale's still meets all NYSE requirements and is 94% owned by institutions! The average S&P stock is 68% owned by institutions, so the big boys obviously see something in Zale's that others do not. This is my first moderator position, and as such I will be developing the Ibox as needed and recommended.
The Case for Zales, updated on 1/3/09:
272 institutions own 95% of the common stock vs. S&P average of 64%
That leaves only 5% of common shares for retail investors. Nice!
currently trading at 0.4X the Tangible Book Value per share of $6.92, which is very rare and cheap for the #2 jewelry retailer in North America.
So, Zale's is trading at less than half it's LIQUIDATION value...that's if they went into bankruptcy and had to get rid of everything tangible.
The Book Value is $9.87 per share, and the revenue per share is $54.63
With 32 million shares outstanding and a current market-cap of 238 million, Zale's is considered a small-cap stock. However, when it was at its 52-week high of $30.84 the market cap was $986 million, placing it at the mid-cap range.
If 95% of the shares are owned by institutions, it only leaves 1.9 million shares for retail investors. The good news about that is it won't take much to get the price per share moving, as the average daily volume is over 600,000 shares. Bad news is that if the institutions sell it won't take much to get the price moving down! However, 94% institution-owned gives credibility to the company in my judgment; the big money knows what it's doing and won't buy junk.
Investors are acting like people will never buy jewelry again...you know, people are still going to get married and jewelry never goes out of style. Give Zale's a try if you are so inclined, and do your own DD.
