A third day of a rally? This seemed impossible just last week. Despite some choppy retail sales, stocks were up triple-digits in the DJIA in the final minutes before the close and another day not in the red was assured. A slight drop in jobless claims helped as well, even if the pre-holiday week is generally viewed as a wash by Wall Street.
Here are today's unofficial closing bell prices:
Dow 10,138.99 +120.71 (1.20%)
S&P 500 1,070.25 +9.98 (0.94%)
Nasdaq 2,175.40 +15.93 (0.74%)

The Limited is under Limited Brands (
LTD) no more. The retail company
unloaded the remaining 25% of the eponymous women's apparel retailer to private equity firm Sun Capital Partners, which already held 75% of the company. The final chunk of the 220-store chain sold for roughly $32 million. Sun bought its initial 75% stake in the name in August 2007.
Sun Capital's influence has been good for The Limited, which posted positive pretax annual earnings for the first time since 1993 (ironically, that's the year when I spent 90% of my allowance on their clothes. Honeycomb sweaters, anyone?).

Limited Brands (
LTD -
option chain) shares are rising today after
the company reported earnings last night, posting a fourth-quarter profit of $356.11 million or $1.08 per share. Excluding one-time items, LTD earned $1.01 per share on revenue of $3.06 billion. Analysts had forecast a profit of 98 cents per share on revenue of $3.05 billion. Since the rest of the market is in the dumps today, the advances made by LTD stock are even more significant as they have to overcome that downward push. If you think that the stock won't fall by too much in the coming months, then now could be a good time to look at a bullish hedged trade on LTD.
LTD opened this morning at $22.03. So far today the stock has hit a low of $21.90 and a high of $22.53. As of 1:00, LTD is trading at $22.07 up 53 cents (2.5%). The chart for LTD looks neutral and
S&P gives LTD a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold ranking.

Last week, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), the world's largest retailer, led off the coming parade of earnings reports from retailers by posting disappointing fourth quarter results. JCPenney (JCP), on the other hand, easily topped earnings expectations.
Many more shopping mall and strip mall stalwarts are scheduled to report results this week. The expectations of analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are high for the likes of Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD) and Macy's Inc. (M), RadioShack Corp. (RSH) and America's Car Mart Inc. (CRMT), to Caribou Coffee Co. Inc. (CBOU) and Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. (CBRL), all expected to report double-digit earnings growth year over year. Here's a look a few of the biggest anticipated earnings winners reporting this week.

Lingerie is another popular V-Day gift, and Limited Brands (LTD) has the inside track on these sales with its Victoria's Secret stores.
Limited's same-store sales were up 6% in January, thanks to a 17% increase at Victoria's Secret outlets. That's a trend you can take to the bank in February and beyond.

At the time of this writing, Louis Navellier did not own shares of LTD in personal or client portfolios.

Valentine's Day may be a commercialized holiday to some, but there's no denying that its big business. And this coming Valentine's Day may be extra sweet since it falls on a Sunday, making it a great excuse for a romantic night out. In fact, total Valentine's Day spending is expected to reach $17.6 billion this year, up 3.3% over 2009, according to consumer spending researchers at IBISWorld.
That's a big payday, and one that investors should be paying attention to.
