Today I sold HELE at 29.48. That's a 22% gain over my purchase price of 24.13. That's 22% in only 4 months. Can you do that? you? YOU? YOU??!!!
That's 49 consecutive profitable trades of 15% or better! 49! 49!!! How do I do it? There must be mirrors there somewhere. There must be stock picks up my sleeve. Somebody must have pulled a rabbit out of a hat.
Actually there is no reason other than the fact that I am the greatest stock picker on the planet. Only $$$MR. MARKET$$$ can pick stocks in every conceivable industry and make money regardless. My computer runs while I lift weights. My computer runs while I drink beer. My computer runs while I watch pro wrestling. My computer runs while I watch the Patriots smash the Titans.
Build me a temple. Bring me your finest meats and cheeses. Still another $$$MR. MARKET$$$ pick will be forthcoming. But first you must tell everyone who is the greatest stock picker of all time.
Come on...give me my props. All hail the great one, $$$MR. MARKET$$$!

So you call up your best girl and she tells you that she can’t go out with you because she has to wash her hair. Maybe those girls are always washing their hair, or maybe you just don’t give good wood. Whatever the reason, all that hairwashing makes for some good stockpicking.
Today I bought Helen of Troy Limited (HELE) at 24.13. I will sell it in 4 to 6 weeks at 27.87. Here’s why I like HELE:
-The stock is up over 81% over the last year yet it has a PE of only 14.
Earnings are growing and Wall Street is lapping it up. Chances are, you have HELE stuff in your house right now. HELE also raised its profit projections for the full year to a range of $1.75 to $1.80 a share, up from an earlier forecast of $1.45 to $1.50, and announced a generous stock buy back program.
The CEO, Jerry Rubin, has been out on the dog and pony show pumping the company and Wall Street is listening. Listen to him crow: "This marks our tenth consecutive year of first quarter sales increases, and we are extremely pleased with the results achieved in this difficult retail sales environment. Sales increased in every segment of our business, excluding Tactica. Gross margins increased to 49.6 percent from 48.3 percent last year. First quarter operating income increased 5.4 percentage points to 15.2 percent of net sales from 9.8 percent a year ago. First quarter net income increased 7.5 percentage points to 13.9 percent from 6.4 percent a year ago.
"For the fiscal year ending February 28, 2004, we expect overall sales to increase 9 to 12 percent, to a range of $500 to $515 million. We are raising our fiscal year earnings per share guidance to $1.75 to $1.80, from $1.45 to $1.50, or 34 to 37 percent increase from prior fiscal year's earnings per share of $1.31. Year-over-year sales have increased in 34 of the past 37 quarters, with net income increasing in 33 of these 37 quarters, which we believe demonstrates a consistent financial performance during the past nine years. Because of our continuing confidence in the future performance of the company, our Board of Directors' has authorized a Stock Repurchase Program consisting of 3,000,000 shares, effective immediately," Rubin concluded.
Helen of Troy's core products include personal-care appliances, such as hair dryers and curling irons, which are sold under the Vidal Sassoon and Revlon brand names at discount retailers. Have you checked out MTV lately, not only women, but men are primping themselves these days. That could be a 50% growth in available customers for this stuff.
Helen of Troy has indicated it may consider acquisitions of small brands out of large, multinational consumer-products companies, though no names were mentioned. Today they just bought Brut from Unilever. I love Brut. I apply it liberally all over my massive physique.
HELE always beats their numbers and should have no problem blasting the $1.80 per share number they most recently through out there. If they hit $1.95, as $$$MR. MARKET$$$ believes they will, this should catapult HELE stock to $27.30/share, using the P/E multiple of 14 they presently carry.
So what’s so special about Helen of Troy? Helen of Troy is at the center of one of mythology's greatest love stories. Two great civilizations, the Trojans and the Greeks/Spartans, led by two men (Paris and Agamemnon respectively), battled for almost 10 years over the love of one woman: Helen. Those guys, Paris and Agamemnon were a couple of losers. They should have spent a week in Vegas and instead would be saying “Helen who?” as they chomp on Partegas Cigars and sample life’s finest hedonistic activities.
I am HUGE!! Bring me your finest meats and cheeses!
