Some retailers may see January bounce -Barron's 12:08 pm ET 12/26/2010 - Reuters NEW YORK, Dec 26 (Reuters) - Certain smaller chain retailers are likely to see a "January Effect" bounce next month after sharp high-to-low declines in 2010, Barron's said in its latest issue.
Barron's described the effect as the tendency for small stocks that declined sharply in the prior year to outperform in the first month of the new year.
In its Dec 24 issue, Barron's specifically cited Coldwater Creek <CWTR.O>, Hot Topic <HOTT.O> and Kirkland's <KIRK.O> as potential gainers. It also picked out trading firm LaBranche <LAB.N> and Web search company InfoSpace <INSP.O>. (Reporting by Ben Berkowitz; editing by Gunna Dickson)
