Just yesterday, one of those Fools, All-Star 10cent, succinctly summed up the Cabela's bull case for our community:
This company intelligently targets a large and devoted demographic. Service and products are excellent. Regardless of where their products are made, Cabela's exudes an Americanness that has mass appeal. Moat is wide, they don't have any serious on-line competitors. Their retail stores are thriving and growing.
Because of the nature of their products I foresee this company doing well independently of the economy. Hell, even an apocalypse would be great for their business.The stock has outperformed [Apple] over the last couple of years, and it is still attractively valued.
If you want market-thumping 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 four-star rating, Cabela's may not be your top choice.
