This holiday season will be different than last year. The stock market has risen considerably since one year ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 10.38%, the S&P 500 is up almost 12%, and the NASDAQ is up over 17%. What does this mean? It means that people have more money to spend. After a good year on the stock market, people tend to reward themselves and other. With the holiday season coming gifts will be flying off the shelves.
The best ways for investors to benefit are with Apple, Netflix, and Deckers.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is great for its new iPod lineup, its Macs, the popular iPhone, and the growing iPad. There's no doubt that Apple's retail stores will be packed this holiday season. The real question is, how packed?
Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) is growing rapidly in popularity and people are adopting the new product for their home theatre systems and televisions. At a reasonable price, a subscription of Netflix makes a good gift idea. the stock has run big however, but the company continues to add subscriptions strongly.
Deckers Outdoor (NASDAQ: DECK) is the latest fashion trend. People are in love with UGG boots which also make great gifts. Deckers trades at a mere 19 times next year's earnings despite its 29% long term growth rate.
