Tiffany...Hotter than ever or cooling off?

[baglici0us]

i think it is hotter than ever since they are starting to reach into the asian market - opening lots of new stores in China and asian markets.

I wish that they would have another great showcase in a classic movie like Breakfast at Tiffanys though. I watched Sweet Home Alabama the other day and I remember they were featured in Bride Wars, but they weren't instant movie classics.

The comments are right that the company stands to benefit from the Asian market and has had a lot of new lines of jewelry out but I would hesitate to use this kind of data when making investment decisions...it may or may not be already priced into the valuation, etc.

I am with you on this...I am a total "numbers geek" and review all relevant (and non relavent for that matter) statistics on stocks before buying, but I do very well in the market by going beyond the numbers to what is hot (this combines two of my loves: numbers/analysis and fashion). So as I have seen more interest in TIF and them moving into China, I thought they were worth a look. And, turns out they are . I spend so much time on tPF, I Just wanted to hear from the fashion forward tPF ladies on where they think Tiffany's is .

Out of curiosity, I checked their numbers. Over the last 52 weeks, the stock was selling at a low of $35.81 and their high was $65.76 right before Christmas. Last quote was $64.45. So it seems as if they're holding steady right now, not growing by leaps and bounds.

Of course if you wanted to put a spin on it you could say that the stock doubled in the past year, but of course future earnings cannot be based on past performance ...

I didn't vote because I think it's somewhere in between. I think it's doing well and not cooling off but not better than ever ever.

This probably is not the "forum" to do detailed stock analysis and this was not my intent with the post , but for those that are a bit "ahead of the curve" on what's hot I have been surprised much you can use "what's hot" knowledge from the fashion world for investments. So, sorry if I got us off track...did not mean to start an "investments" thread, was just curious if folks thought the Brand itself is as hot as it seems lately.

Just as a side note to the above post...I have longer term holds, but that is not what I am looking for on this one...On this I am looking for smaller bumps up to get in and out (which I did do on Tiffany's last week and it worked out quite well). The analysis goes well beyond 1 year trends.

Thanks for all of the input!

I think it is cooling down.

I noticed my DS22's girlfriends and friends were into Tiffany when they were 16,17, 18...not so much now...and DS17 said his girlfriend and friends didn't care for Tiffany when I suggested something at Christmas. I realize this is just one group of kids, but I have found they are a bit ahead of the curve with trends.
