Don’t Catch Falling Knives: The JCPenney Story
In this week's episode of IF: Consumer Goods, host Dylan Lewis and Motley Fool analyst Dan Kline explain why JCPenney (NYSE: JCP) is doomed, and why Nike's (NYSE: NKE) shoe subscription service will probably be a home run. JCPenney's much-discussed turnaround hasn't materialized, but its intimidating debt pile remains stubbornly corporeal. Find out why this retailer is likely too far gone to save -- and why investors should stay far, far away from its stock.
On the other side of the retail coin, Nike just announced a shoe subscription service for kids, and Dan makes the case that this could gain traction not just for kids, but maybe someday adults, too. Plus, the hosts discuss Nike's new acquisition -- find out what RFID technology is, and how it could change the way the company operates.
