Retail Stock to Short #2: Tiffany & Co. (TIF)
My wife loves that robin's egg blue box, but there are going to be fewer of those under our Christmas tree this year -- and I suspect that will be the case in many homes. Tiffany & Co. (TIF) is well managed and is not going under, but sales will continue to fall, especially in Asia and the flagship New York store (Wall Street is broke and tourists are staying home).
Buy put options on TIF.
