I know, I know, with the economy sputtering, why would you ever want to be invested in an apparel company that produces expensive jeans? Let alone have it recommended by a typically short-selling trader like me! But before I tell you the name of this stock that despite the obvious economic problems -- strong oil, weak housing and the dollar, mounting foreclosure, etc -- is sitting right near all-time highs, looking to break out, let's ...
I bought 300 shares of TRLG at $22.41.
Setup: Earnings-Breakout-Pullback. This specialty retailer broke out on massive volume two days ago as a result of strong earnings. I bought today on the pullback, about a point away from the bottom of the breakout candle.
Risk: I plan to hold this stock into new highs, possibly taking partial profits in the $24-25 range. My stop is just under the
Following yesterday’s closing bell, True Religion Apparel reported 4th Quarter and full year 2006 financial results. In the most recent quarter, the high-end fashion company achieved revenue of $29.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.21.

...Everyone but Brean Murray cut the stock from Buy/Outperform to either Hold/S...

Based on today's movement, I'd like to reiterate my previous analysis, and add that TRLG is looking very bullish right now. Previously it was caught in a sideways trend because of its resistance at 16.00, no news, weak Q4 guidance, and weak technicals.

"Anyways, let's talk about True Religion. It's trading at about 15 right now -- on its support. It's also near its 52-week low.

In the first quarter they reported $.28 a share to a $.27 estimate
