Great for a busiess case in Harvard

Usually I stay away from retail stocks including the rising Amazon. There are several stupid management actions recently.

* I expected Coach and some luxurious retailers would have a tough time. Partly due to the falling Chinese economy. Partly due to not understand their own market. Chinese buy a lot of these stuffs. If you do not believe me, go to these stores in NYC, Paris..., you can see them buying a lot to avoid paying tariff and help them to boost their social standing.

When they take out the logo, they make their products not sellable to Chinese as many Chinese (esp. those to be impressed) do not know English well.

* Costco was sued. If you look at the marketing departments of most big companies, you can see many good-looking young kids. Most do not have common sense and lack of experience. At least hire a good one to manage them and in this case it is logical to be sued.
