Under Armor may confound some longs, but with a forward P/E roughly twice that of Crocs, the neutral investor has an easy choice. Warm weather this fall may have an effect on sales of the product, but in the long run, UA is in a niche of its own.
Pupule says: The recent mini-rally has pushed UA (60.17) over its 10-day SMA (59.67), but it is still below its 50-day SMA (62.74). True believers can get a good price here.
What I had to do was to find stocks that would be hoisted up because they stirred people's imagination for the future. ... I was not interested in the company's individual products, whether it was metals for rockets, solid fuel, or advanced electronic equipment. In fact, I did not want to know what they made—that information might only inhibit me. I did not care what the company's products were, any more than I was influenced by the fact that the board chairman had a beautiful wife. But I did want to know whether the company belonged to a new vigorous infant industry and whether it be haved in the market according to my requirements.
This, of course, was directly against the advice of many financial writers with conservative backgrounds who have been pounding into investors for generations that they must study company reports and balance sheets, find out all they can about a stock's background, in order to make a wise investment. I decided that was not for me. All a company report and balance sheet can tell you is the past and the present. They cannot tell the future. And it was for this I had to project my plans.
