true religion

First Daughter's Rheinbeck, N.Y.

2010-08-03T19:18:00.000-07:00

If the bride, Chelsea Clinton, was trying to avoid attention, the father of the bride, former President Bill Clinton, was not.
He was sighted this afternoon strolling through tiffany charm braceletand stirring up the once-quiet town of Rhinebeck, N.Y.. Wearing blue jeans and a black shirt, Clinton smiled, shook hands and even took questions about his future son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky.
"I like him very much, I really do. I admire him. I feel very blessed," the former president said. "Hillary thinks the same way. We think he's fabulous."
He was asked about Rhinebeck.
"We love it here," he said. "Chelsea loves the area, as well."
The town, about two hours from New true religion SchuheYork City, is Clinton central as friends and family gather to attend Chelsea's rehearsal dinner tonight and nuptials Saturday.
Roughly 100 of the families' closest friends reportedly were invited to tonight's cocktail party and rehearsal dinner. The evening will begin at the Beekman Arms Hotel, with the actual rehearsal dinner taking place at nearby Grassmere Estate.
The couple reportedly has asked guests to wear "country chic or cocktail apparel."
Tonight's rehearsal dinner and tomorrow's wedding are so strict that ABC News has learned all invitees are forbidden to bring cell phones, cameras or blackberries to any event.
But while most people will not get Cheap Ugg Cardy boots Salewithin a miles of tonight's event, or Saturday's wedding, that did not stop the curious residents and out-of-towners from getting in the spirit.
Storefront windows in Rhinebeck displayed signs wishing the soon-to-be-married couple well. Members of the media began lining up to see if they could spot the guests.
Rhinebeck's own mayor knows little about the wedding. Mayor Jim Reardon said he only started to hear rumblings about the Clinton nuptials in June. Two weeks ago, Reardon called up the Secret Service in Albany to get more details. Since the rumors began, he said, he's watched interest in Rhinebeck explode.
"I've had more media requests for interviews and phone calls for interviews, camera appearances in one week than I've had in the three years I've been in office," he said.

Improve Your Trading by Not Having An Opinion

2010-08-02T19:44:00.000-07:00

It seems the more traders try to predict, the more it can't be done. Just like we cannot predict future life events, we cannot predict future market events. The fantasy or "holy grail" that many traders believe is that we can predict the future of price activity. The reality is that we just cannot! Hopefully, I'm not bursting any bubbles out there, but better to hear it now than lose a ton of money later!
The greatest traders are those who realize this concept, accept it, believe it, and therefore trade based on the current reality in the market vs. the fantasy or market opinions, and always use stops and risk control. Great traders grasp the concept of risk and probabilities in trading. They also grasp the concept of money management, stop-loss setting, and simplification. In addition they understand that trading is both a science and an art!
If trading were just science, you could buy a mechanical trading system, start it, walk away, and come back and be rich. And if that system did exist, believe me, it would be so expensive that you and I could not afford to buy it; in fact it would probably be kept so secret that we would not know it exists! Now, don't get me wrong, there are some good technical science tools on the market today, but remember they are tools only, not "holy grails."
When I began my trading career, I used many trading indicators. tiffany charm bracelet My trading indicators indeed gave me indications that prices or trends may change, but they really did very little to help me consistently time those changes accurately enough to make money. In fact, if trading indicators and high powered computers where the answer alone, then why do 90% of the current traders loose money consistently using these indicators and computers? And isn't it interesting that this is, approximately, the same percentage of losing traders before computers even existed!
Let's take a few examples that may help illustrate what I mean:
Example One: Let's say your trading and bullish divergence just occurred in an MACD oscillator you are using while prices are currently in a down trend. Right away you the trader will now be forming an opinion in your mind that the market is going to reverse and start a new trend upward. Thus you now have an opinion in your mind that prices should change from its current downtrend to an uptrend. So, you look for a reason to go long, an entry signal. Well one comes along and you take it. You think to yourself that you would not have normally taken that signal if you did not see bullish divergence but with bullish divergence you feel you should. Well, prices continue downward even lower and the bullish divergence remains bullish so you stay with your long position. Can't go much lower you say to yourself. Well it does go lower and now you're worried but you do not want to sell and take the now large loss, so you hold on. After all, the MACD divergence is still bullish but not as much as before. Well soon the divergence turns into no divergence and instead the trend down becomes apparent and you now must sell out. You now feel depressed, frustrated, and let down by your MACD oscillator! In fact if the oscillator was not even there you would never have been tricked into taking the trade to begin with!
Example Two: You get a trading signal to go long but this time your stochastic oscillator indicates that prices are way overbought already, so you do not take the long position. The so called overbought stochastic oscillator formed an opinion in your mind to not take the trade. Now you sit there and watch a great uptrend happen right before your eyes and the stochastic oscillator remains overbought during the entire 10 point uptrend! Had you never looked at the stochastic oscillator, you would not have had an opinion, and would have gone long.
Example Three: You see bearish divergence on the MACD oscillator so you form an opinion that the uptrend is ending and now you look to get out of your long position right away. So you use a trailing stop and exit thetrue religion Schuhe market. Only to find prices reverse and go higher, the MACD oscillator turn bullish, and you are left scratching your head.
I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. And that idea is that oscillators form opinions and opinions are not always in the best interest of the successful trader. You as a trader want to be like for example the "tail on a dog" which follows the dog everywhere the dog goes without knowing where the dog is going. All "un-grounded" market assessments form opinions and this includes Elliott Wave theory, and any and all forecasting methods. It is my experience that it is better to trade the current realities of the market you are trading then try to forecast market direction. Instead, learn to listen to what the market is actually saying to you, the realities of the current moment.
When you trade you want to create an environment without opinions! And furthermore that means it's best to avoid reading financial newspapers, watching financial T.V., or listening to financial news in any format while trading.
News forms opinions, trading oscillators form opinions; analysis forms opinions, analysts form opinions, etc., etc. As traders, we really do not know how the markets will react to news and financial recommendations. If we think we do, then we are forming an opinion about the news! How many times have companies come out with great earnings and sold off right after the announcement. And when it does the news commentator comes out and says well the stock ran up already in expectation Cheap Ugg Cardy boots Sale of the good numbers and then sold off. And if the stock continued upward, the news commentator would say, good earnings drove the market upward, etc., etc. They operate on 20/20 hindsight. We as traders do not have this luxury. The less opinions you have, the better trader you will be! And it is that simple!!!!

From Russia (to Dallas) with love

2010-08-01T19:11:00.000-07:00

Latvian-born Dallasite Anna Fermanova was arrested July 15 when she returned to the United States after visiting her Russian husband, apparently for being the latest in an attractive ring of Russian spies. Ugg Boot Australia The 24-year-old had been stopped in New York en route to Moscow back in March, when she was found carrying some advanced night-vision rifle scopes without a license in her Ugg Boots.
Fermanova said they were for her husband's hunting hobby.
Besides it being rather surreal to, in 2010, be reading so many headlines true religion Segeltuchschuhe about Russian spies, we (along with Fermanova's lawyer) see some problems with this story.
First, she's not Russian — she's Latvian. She's also a United States citizen, and has been since she was 9 years old.
She lives in Russia with her husband (spending the minority of the year at her parent's house in Plano, where she is now under house arrest), so it's not suspicious she'd commute to Moscow. And we give her the benefit of the doubt for not realizing night vision scopes were on the U.S. Munitions List. How many times have we made it through JFK with some old forgotten pot?
What kind of SPY maintains a Facebook page? OK, apparently every sexy Russian spy. Still as the Dallas Morning News reports, Fermanova alerts her neighbors when she has a house party so they don't call the cops. That's not very sneaky.
"She is quite sexy, you could say, but she is not a spy," Fermanova's tiffany jewellery attorney, Scott Palmer, says.
The only thing pseudo-sketchy about Fermanova is her Russian husband, who the UK's Telegraph says is involved in "imports and exports." Even so, has someone at the State Department been watching too much Bond?

A lace dress

2010-07-21T19:55:00.000-07:00

Handmade lace dates from the 15th century but it was with the invention of lacemaking machines 200 years later that lace became more accessible. Going in and out of vogue throughout the years, lace is one of fashion's favourite fabrics.

Why you need it now

It was Collette Dinnigan who led the lace revolution well over a decade ago with her sexy little knickers and pretty dresses. No longer Cheap ugg boots the domain of nanna, these days lace is strong, sexy and was, this season, the standout on the international runways.

What to look for

It's hard to beat a little black dress in lace. Also look for lace in bodysuits and on accessories such as shoes and bags. Dolce & Gabbana channels long Latin nights with sheer lace over satin bodysuits and lots of fringing. Givenchy gives Latin shapes a couture makeover with elaborate floor-length layers of chantilly lace. Preen does fragile lace panels trimmed with eye-popping pink, while Gucci's sheer lace shimmers with embellishment. The drama of lace is best in black; or soften the effect with earthy beige, peach and soft neutrals, whether with a nude slip and bare legs or over an opaque bodysuit.

Style to suit you

Petite shapes, you can handle the true religion Nathan delicacy of sweet chantilly lace. Go for a boat-neck dress with long sleeves and a short scalloped hem to give it a modern twist.

Pear shapes, take your cue from the flamenco style with flowing hems and flounces at the neckline. Cinch the waist, show a little shoulder and add a velvet choker.

Busty shapes, seek a thick-weave lace in a simple shape like a fitted sheath dress for an ultra-powerful statement. Add a ladylike bag and a pair of strong shoes, which will anchor the look.

Larger women, look for lace patterns with a vertical grain or take on two trends by going for a lace dress with solid panels, creating a super-sharp, streamlined silhouette.

The apres-ski wear

2010-07-20T19:33:00.000-07:00

For those about to ski, I hope you have your apres wardrobe ready. Ski resorts from Aspen to Chamonix have been a playground for the stylish since skiing became seen as the sport of choice for the rich and glamorous. Audrey Hepburn was the epitome of off-piste chic at the start of the movie Charade, in ski pants and fur hat. Indeed, stretch pants - the precursor of today's leggings - had only been introduced to ugg boots uk the slopes in the 1950s, while snowflake jumpers (which are about to make a comeback) were just the ticket in the 1930s.

Why you need it now

'Tis the season! Now, we would normally be focusing on one particular item of clothing at Wardrobe 101 but given it's slope o'clock, here are some top tips for pulling together a hot ensemble after a long day in the snow. Thredbo may not quite be Saint Moritz but that doesn't mean you shouldn't make an effort. Perhaps you don't want to go the full snowflake-knit catsuit a la D&G. However, just off the slopes there are certain things you can get away with that should never be attempted in town. The furry boots seen at the autumn-winter shows from Chanel and D&G put mukluks back front and centre (moon boots begone!). Let's extend this to ugg boots - for once acceptable outside the house (gulp!).

What to look for

Lurid colours are so passe (like Midori and lemonade), as are high-tech fabrics (leave your Gore-Tex on the mountain). Look for neutral tones of grey, chocolate, black and cream, with perhaps a punch of deep red true religion jeans on sale (or a large mulled wine). Look for the softest fibres - cashmere, merino wool - in oversized jumpers, cardigans, shawl wraps and scarves.

Wear these over leggings - this is the only situation in which leggings can be worn as pants. So your silhouette should be chunky on top, slim in the legs, then yeti-like in the boot department.

Also, try to find retro touches of snowflake knits, whether in jumpers, gloves, scarves or beanies. Texture is also important, so look for hints of fur - fake or otherwise - edging hoodies and on boots and vests.

Style to suit you

Petite shapes Don't swamp yourself. Don't let jumpers and jackets run lower than the hip line and wear boots to mid-calf, or you might not see that slim leg line.

Pear shapes Wear jumpers and jackets that are long enough to cover your bottom but don't have so much volume in that area that you look bigger than you are; volume at the shoulder and the bust will balance out the look nicely.

Busty shapes Go for zip-front hoodies and V-neck jumpers - wearing high necklines will just make you look bustier.

Larger frames Again, keep bottoms tiffany jewelry covered; and bring focus to the face with charming hats and scarves.

Where to shop

The House of Cashmere, Banjo & Matilda, Jac + Jack for gorgeous cashmere knits; Supre, Sportscraft and Witchery for leggings; Larry Adler for pattern-knit beanies; Ugg Australia, Emu and Peter Alexander for ugg boots.

"Every girl, no matter what age, anyone from 12-35 was practically emulating her style," Tozzi told MTV News. "It landed her on the covers of magazines. Girls wanted to look like her, be her, dress like her. She was such an influence during the time she was on 'The Hills.' You couldn't deny that she was a huge influence on pop culture. Everybody was talking about her style. She was the girl next door — that perfect combination people always say, girls want to be friends with her, true religion Segeltuchschuhe guys want to date her. She just had it all."

"It popularized the mix-and-match movement that makes it OK to throw a Juicy Couture T-shirt underneath a Miu Miu blazer," added Krentcil. "And though girls in New York City were doing this too, Lauren Conrad and her comrades were doing it with tons of color! Before 'The Hills,' it was kind of assumed that you should wear black with pops of color if you wanted to look sexy or cool. They gave more options — in colors that used to be for tropical drinks only, not dresses and shoes. And they made it 'acceptable' to buy a $300 T-shirt."

Fashion designer Richie Rich acknowledged the show's impact on youth culture, but not so much on the fashion industry as a whole. Discounted Tiffany Jewelry "I think 'The Hills' was a fun impact fashion-wise on the youth of our culture," Rich told MTV News. "I don't really think it made a huge statement fashion-wise, other then rich girls shopping. I think it also proved that celebs just putting their names on products doesn't always mean it's fashion. I think the catfights were the highlight for sure!"

Star magazine fashion and beauty director Tara Kraft said she is confident the ladies will continue to be major style and beauty influencers beyond the show's run, particularly since several of them are now deeply involved in the industry.

"Lauren Conrad not only designed her own line for Kohl's, but was the face of Mark., Avon's sister brand. She repped their beauty line and also collaborated on a line of accessories with the company," Kraft pointed out. "Whitney Port is also a fashion designer. Her line Whitney Eve has become quite popular. Audrina Patridge was just tapped as a new face for the line Bongo; Kristin Cavallari was a model for the fashion line Op."

Tozzi equates the impact of "The Hills" to that of "Sex and the City."

"Their style really set trends," she explained. "The difference between what they did and what 'Sex and the City' did: Nothing that [the 'Hills' girls] wore was so over the top; everything they wore was accessible. You never felt that the choices, the kind of clothes they wore would make you feel weird wearing them. You weren't making some crazy statement; you were just sort of looking good. It was all about looking pretty and put together. "

So who is next in line to inherit the fashion-forward throne from the cast of "The Hills"?

"I don't know, I'm curious to see what is next," Tozzi said. "There always will be a next."

How do you identify a real diamond?

2010-07-07T18:46:00.000-07:00

Those who enjoy shopping for vintage jewelry in unconventional places know that there are valuable treasures waiting to be discovered. Whether you're looking at antique shops, thrift stores, consignment shops or even yard sales, it's always good to have a few tricks up your sleeve to help you better determine if that flashy stone or meek, dirty gem is really a Tiffany diamond.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

* Sandpaper * Newspaper * Diamond tester

1. Observe the mounting. Real diamonds will be set in precious metals, and most likely in an open setting. Though not a guarantee of a fake, if the setting has a closed back, then more than likely the gem is not a diamond.

2. Breathe on the stone. Diamonds are excellent conductors of heat, so you should not be able to observe any condensation on the stone if it is a real diamond.

3. Rub sandpaper across the surface. A diamond will not scratch or nick from this procedure, but a fake might. If you're buying directly from an individual and they refuse to let you do this, then you can be confident that it is probably not real.

4. Be skeptical of scratched glass. Though this is a popular technique, keep in mind that glass is only rated 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. While a diamond is rated a 10 on the Mohs scale, anything higher than a 5.5 will still scratch glass. Quartz rates at 7.5 and cubic zirconium rates in at 8.5, so this test won't work at all.

5. Place the diamond on a piece of newspaper over the text. If you can see the letter at all, whether clearly or as a hazy likeness, your gem is not a diamond. A diamond's brilliance, even a poor specimen, refracts light so dramatically that you won't be able to see anything through the stone.

6. Use a diamond tester. These handy gadgets will run about $100, but if you're regularly on the hunt for diamonds it may be a good investment.

7. Look for flaws. Diamonds are not perfect, and even the best specimens will have tiny flaws. If the stone is perfectly clear then be skeptical of it being a diamond.

How to Choose the Right Necklace

2010-07-06T18:51:00.000-07:00

Step 1

Consider the occasion. Opt for a simple, understated piece for daytime and a more precious or extravagant piece for evening.

Step 2

Accent a V-neck with a drop pearl necklace or solitaire pendant. This same piece also complements boat-neck and crewneck tops. Match gemstone colors to those found in your outfit and earrings.

Step 3

Accessorize strapless and off-the-shoulder necklines with a necklace that remains close to the neck. Pair a faux gem choker on an invisible string with a top made of satin or silk. Add elegant sophistication with a short strand of pearls.

Step 4

Pair an open-collar blouse with a thicker, chunkier piece of costume jewelry. Faux silver or gold interlock chains that lie flat on the collarbone accent a dressy casual outfit or business suit. Coordinate your earrings and belt with the tones in your necklace.

Step 5

Enhance a jewel-neck or turtleneck sweater with a long string of colorful beads. Precious stones work well with a thicker day look, while crystals bring a little glamour to an evening ensemble.

Step 6

Pair a square-neck top with a pendant that dangles from a long chain. Consider lengths that fall between the collarbones.

How Do You Choose the Best Netbook Bag?

2010-07-05T18:47:00.000-07:00

The netbook has emerged as a companion device for desktop or laptop computers. In an increasingly mobile workforce, netbooks have grown in popularity. While they have fewer capabilities than the typical desktop or laptop computer, their small size and portability make them useful tools. The average netbook is about 10 inches (about 25.4 cm) wide by 7 inches (about 17.8 cm) deep by 1 inch (about 2.54 cm) tall.

Since these devices are desired for their portability, it is important to have a netbook bag that protects the unit as it is transported. For jobs that require carrying the netbook to a variety of locations while on foot, a canvas or leather bag with internal padding and a shoulder strap should be considered. Such a netbook bag closely resembles a briefcase or laptop computer bag.

A smaller version of the netbook bag is the strapless netbook sleeve. The sleeve typically has about the same dimensions as the netbook and features a padded interior encased in a bags. These sleeves often have a flap over the opening that closes with a zipper or a plastic fastener. The netbook sleeve can protect the device’s case from nicks and dings.

Netbook tubes are a type of bag many students prefer. A tube is a vertically-aligned canvas bag with shoulder strap. The bag is made so that the side edge of the netbook slides in first. These can be good for carrying a netbook between classes, but they offer the least amount of protection. Whether the user is a student or professional, the type of netbook bag should be tailored to the type of work typically being performed.

The style of the netbook bag is an important consideration as well. Canvas net tubes are great for students but may be too casual or inappropriate for business use. In the workplace, the traditional computer case bag typically is appropriate. Many users prefer a more upscale look, and designer netbook bags fit that need.

Just as style varies with need, so do netbook bags that range widely in price. A traditional computer case bag runs about $50 US Dollars (USD), but it can be much higher depending on brand and material. Designer bags can cost four or five times that amount. A sleeve is the bargain netbook bag at about $15 (USD).

How to choose a bag

2010-06-30T18:55:00.000-07:00

Bags are some of the most important accessories in everyone's wardrobe. Since it serves not only as an accessory, but also has to be comfortable, it is sometimes excessively hard to choose the right one.

First of all you should define what purpose it serves and where you intend to use it. The question is whether you need it more as an accessory or as something useful outside the scope of aesthetics. The difference between the two is mostly in size. If you need a bag as an accessory you should pick a smaller one and it should be noticeable. If your bag serves the lone purpose of carrying things, which you need for your job or studies, it should be bigger, more comfortable and simpler.

The most important thing is to match it to your style. For example if you prefer a sporty style - pick a satchel. If you are more into a bohemian style - it should be larger, worn on one shoulder and made of original material. Elegant women should choose middle-sized neutral colored leather bags.

Don't forget that bags also go out of fashion, so if you want to look trendy, you should purchase at least one new bag every year. For example, this year, bags with lots of metal details are at the top. No matter what style you prefer, you can always find something suitable for you and trendy at the same time.

Before purchasing a bag, always check what color dominates in your wardrobe. Don't forget that you'll wear it daily so it has to go perfectly with the majority of your clothes and shoes. If you notice that there is no dominating color, your wardrobe is very colorful - buy a colorful bag, so it'll be easy to match it with anything you wear.

While choosing a bag as an accessory more than as a thing for carrying, have in mind one rule - the smaller the better. Small handbags are very elegant and can make for a very nice hint of style. Nothing can substitute a small black handbag, with small jewels if you want to give off an effect of a luxurious and elegant woman.

When it comes to bags for men, the same rules apply, only it is a lot easier. First of all, consider what you are going to use it for. Is it a bag for carrying various papers, books and other similar things, or do you need it only for your cell phone, documents and wallet

. In the first case, you should define you style (for example, sporty, saggy, punk, elegant) and choose the bag accordingly. The easiest way out in this case is a simple black one-shoulder bag made of leather. The small variant is even easier - it doesn't have to perfectly fit your style, because usually they go perfectly with anything.

Basically, the most important thing is to consider is the purpose of your bag. When you define its use just match it with your style. Don't forget to check out the colors of your wardrobe or you'll have to purchase a number of them instead of having one that fits your wardrobe perfectly.

Select Jewelry Show to debut

2010-06-29T18:08:00.000-07:00

New York--The Select Jewelry Show, a new vendor-organized, by-invitation event, will debut this year in San Francisco, followed by a second show in Dallas.

In both cities, the show will take place at the luxury hotel The Ritz-Carlton, with the San Francisco event taking place Aug. 22 and 23, and the Dallas event slated for Sept. 26 and 27.

The goal of the event, according to the show's Web site,， is "to create an intimate buying atmosphere for its members."

Exhibitor members for the 2010 events include Alisa, Bellarri International Fine Jewelry, Brazilian Boutique, Breuning, Color Merchants, Color Story by Robert Leser, Dove's Jewelry Designs, Elite Designs, Frank Rubel Designs, Frederic Sage, Gottlieb and Sons, Gumuchian, I. Reiss, Icerok, Jenny Perl, Kimberly Collins Colored Gems, KC Designs, Leddel International, Makur Designs, Michael Werdiger, Norman Covan, PeJay Creations, Raymond Hak, Royal Pearl, Sethi Couture, The Henderson Collection, Timeless Designs by Jacob and Bryan, Tony Maccabi Designs, V-By and Yael Designs.

Select Jewelry Show co-founder Joe Carullo, of KC Designs, told National Jeweler that the show was, in part, inspired by the high costs that exhibitors face when participating in larger jewelry shows.

"We as an industry need to start fostering inexpensive, small shows," he said.

While the 2010 events will take place in San Francisco and Dallas this year, the show template--aimed at providing retailers and suppliers with an elegant, comfortable environment--is one that could be used in additional cities in the future, Carullo said, with Chicago being a next possible location.

Retailers interested in attending either the San Francisco or Dallas events, or vendors interested in participating, are invited to contact Carullo at (212) 921-9270.

Looking for men

2010-06-28T19:05:00.001-07:00

Elgin police continue to search for two men who robbed a downtown jewelry store at gunpoint Saturday afternoon.

Officers responded to Shockey Jewelers at 12:02 p.m. on a report of an armed robbery. According to police, two men entered the store and one of them displayed a handgun.

Nobody was injured during the robbery in the 0-99 block of Douglas Avenue, about a block away from the Elgin police station, and the suspects made off with an unknown amount of jewelry.

Because of the ongoing investigation, police were not releasing the nature of the jewelry or its worth. Shockey has done business in Elgin since 1977 and specializes in diamonds and antique jewelry.

The first suspect is described as a Latino man, 25 to 30 years old, with a heavy build and a height of 5 feet 9 inches. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap.

Police say the second suspect is a Latino man between 30 to 40 years old with a heavy build. He also was described as standing 5 feet 9 inches.

The Elgin Police Department's major investigations division has taken over the case and is asking anyone with information to call detectives at (847) 289-2615 or the anonymous crime tip line at (847) 695-4195.

In response to a post

2010-06-27T20:06:00.000-07:00

In response to a post discussing the importance of return on invested capital (ROIC), a reader asked an interesting question which raises a number of points which are relevant to the value investor. The comment was as follows:

Lets say I would have to choose between two investments ..True Religion Apparel (TRLG) with a ROIC(TTM) of 50% and Joes Jeans (JOEZ) with a ROIC of 10% (TTM), you would favor TRLG even though JOEZ might be a young company with a "growth" story?

The question is seemingly simple, but the process to answer it is anything but! There are a number of items that must be considered, each of which has the potential to add substantial complexity (i.e. in a very non-linear manner, as discussed here).

First of all, while it is true that in general a higher ROIC is better than a lower ROIC, the time frame over which the ROIC is measured must be considered. Here, with the "TTM" notation, the commenter is stating that these ROIC numbers are based on the last twelve months ("Trailing Twelve Months"). But a lot can happen in twelve months, including asset sales (for both gains or losses), one-time drops/increases in demand, and other items that can affect whether the last year is truly representative of a company's earnings power. For this reason, value investors prefer to look at returns over longer time periods to assess a company's earnings power.

One's circle of competence must also be considered. For example, personally I know nothing of this industry nor of these companies. As such, I don't have the ability to attest as to whether one or both of the ROIC's of these companies is sustainable. This is very important because a high ROIC invites competition, which in turn brings down returns unless the company has a competitive advantage that keeps its competitors at bay. Past returns may be terrific, but here the investor must determine whether future returns are likely to be kind as well.

Relatedly, the fact that one company is labelled a "growth story" (as is done in the comment) is also worth noting. Value investors don't usually like "stories" unless they are backed up by ROIC numbers over the course of a number of years. In this case, it is the low ROIC company that is purported to be the growth story. But while earnings momentum looks great and the market tends to extrapolate growth rates going forward, value investors aren't willing to pay for expectations of future growth. The growth has to be borne out first, as value investors don't like to play the role of the venture capitalist.

Finally, this would not be a post on the subject of value investing if the question of price was not considered. One could have the best return on capital in the world, but if high expectations are baked into the price, the investment has little appeal to the value investor. To that end, the companies' respective debt/cash levels should also be considered to help determine the risk inherent in each investment.

Sell handbags

2010-06-24T19:32:00.001-07:00

Mean Girl Lindsay Lohan (and even a spilt one as such) is all set to courting another controversy as she plans to shed clothes (the bits and pieces that she wears at times) in order to sell her handbags.

The actress (oops, Did I call her an actress) of Freaky Friday already leads a life of a chained mammal as a SCRAM bracelet lies dangling to her ankle in order to keep a check on her alcohol count.

But, the executive of The California Bag, Richard Luna reveals his plans to request the police officials to unchain LiLo so that they may go ahead with a hassle-free photo shoot (“We’re thinking of having the police on hand so we can remove the ankle bracelet for the pictures.”)

The bags would cost a whopping $200-$600 at Nordstrom, US while some pocket friendly ones shall be available at Macy’s.

Meanwhile, news had been rife that Lindsay is working with Los Angeles clothing firm Ed Hardy to promote a host of handbags.

A source from contact music informs, “Lindsay and the design team at Ed Hardy have mutual friends, and they knew she was interested in looking for a handbag license and partner. They thought she’d be a good fit and so did she.

As of last week, there are three collections in development and numerous more are expected. Lindsay is very directly involved with the project, and she’s always pulling things online and from magazines for ideas.”

It’s said those who are short on popularity try to sell stuff with no clothes on. And LiLo is an experienced candidate in such a kind of marketing………. Just like Pamela Anderson or a Paris Hilton
