To the extent that the French court found liability without finding that the analyst misrepresented her opinion, I disagree with the finding, Eliot Spitzer, the New York attorney general, said on Thursday. "The cases we pursued were premised on finding such misrepresentations."Analyzing 4 Luxury Retailers The higher consumer sentiment and increasing personal income numbers have drawn me towards investing in highend retailers. A few of these companies traded on the NYSE are Michael Kors (KORS), Ralph Lauren (RL), Coach (COH), and Estee Lauder (EL). KORS and COH focus on handbags, wallets, shoes and, like RL, sell other accessories and wearables. EL sells higherend skincare. Through 2014, I see a rise in the luxury retail sector, but I prefer to invest in individual companies instead of ETFs. Over the past year, KORS has significantly outperformed EL, RL, and COH. KORS was up 65%, EL up 27%, RL up 19%, and COH down 12%. Using five metrics, I believe Michael Kors has the most to gain, followed by Coach, while Ralph Lauren will likely underperform its competitors.
