Earlier this week, one of those Fools, JohnStuartMill, tapped Gordmans as a particularly timely opportunity:
Another business which supports the ever increasing cost conscious consumer. Discounters like [Wal-Mart], Target, and Dollar Tree are all flourishing in this environment.
Plenty of room for growth here as the revenue is only [$575 million] (ttm). The average for this industry is [$1.53 billion].
So if you believe the discounters have a foothold in this economy, [Gordmans] should be one of your picks.
If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong five-star rating, Gordmans may not be your top choice.
