“I want to highlight to you three retailers that reported excellent quarters in just the last couple of days, and only one was recognized as fabulous, that’s Urban Outfitters. One’s holding on with its fingertips, that’s RL, Ralph Lauren. And then a third, TJX, that’s getting sold off, yet presents, I think, now the best buying opportunity… They each have their own value proposition. Urban Outfitters is made up of its eponymous flagship store along with Anthropologie and Free People. They’re all doing incredibly well.
