Earlier this week, one of those Fools, JoeArizona, succinctly summed up the Lumber Liquidators bull case for our community:
Investors are snapping up foreclosed properties with an eye toward rental income. To spruce up these investment properties, new floors and other upgrades are going to be in demand. Lumber Liquidators is going to do well in the short term for this reason. And, in the longer term, as the housing market improves overall, there will be more home owners fixing up their dwelling ... and buying from Lumber Liquidators.
If you want market-beating returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Lumber Liquidators may not be your top choice.
