Mr. Market's Christmas pick - KSWS

Mr. Market bought K-Swiss at 47.59 on December 18th. The company looks as good as their shoes: CFC is up 130% in the last 12 months and its P/E is just 20.
See what else is good about K-Swiss.

Mr. Market follows a well defined screening criteria for composing a universe of stocks, from which he picks 5 stocks and then picks one of the five. The five stocks he picked recently are: KSWS NICK AACE HAR RBKV.

KSWS $47.13 on 12/19/03	NICK $8.60 on 12/19/03
AACE $21.95 on 12/19/03	HAR $72.65 on 12/19/03
RBKV $32.00 on 12/19/03
