It's reporting season. The only sector that will have good, solid earnings are the one to beat, consumer discretionary.

It's UNLIKE hard commodities sector where prices have been rising extremely fast but I DO NOT think the resource companies would meet their earning expectations due to their production HEDGES.

A sell off in Commodities sector is seemed likely more than a sell-off in consumer discretionary sector.

The weakest point is its price to free cash flow BUT It was a good news when you knew the company had tried to expand its online sales to be less reliance on the hardware chains, WES and WOW

Its cash on hand is all right.

Stronger AUD is also helping its buying power to stockpile its inventories.

If you want the best of the best Apparel stock you should consider PMV BUT It's facing the same fate as others.

Check both XDJ and XSJ indexs to find out why.

It's also a reason because of a sell-off in consumer Staple stocks due to Chinese online scandals.

I accumulate tomorrow following a three days sell-off.
