Duluth, I love to use their stuff, but I’ve got to tell you … there’s so many other stocks in the apparel business like a [Lululemon] that is very good. I happen to like, my favorite, American Eagle Outfitters, which is acting horribly. It looks like a disaster, and yet, I continue to believe that it’s the right stock to own.”
• Medtronic: “I’ve been really stuck. I think Medtronic has been executing poorly, and we had [Edwards Lifesciences] on last week. I think that even here, you’ve got to sell Medtronic and buy EW, which is what I’m going to be talking about with [the CNBC Investing Club] because both [Director of Portfolio Analysis] Jeff Marks and I think that EW is a fabulous story.”
