Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF), Cliffs Natural Resources Inc (CLF) & More: Today’s Three Best Stocks

Finally, department store Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE:KSS)‘s showed signs of life, advancing 2.9%, following an SEC filing showed that one of its directors, Stephanie Streeter, purchased 2,500 shares of Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS) stock. The amount of the purchase is relatively minimal in the grand scheme of things, but directors often have first-hand knowledge of the inner workings of a company. Director purchases, therefore, are often a cue to investors that things could be improving. As for me, I’m perfectly happy keeping my distance from Kohl’s, which has a nasty habit of falling under the margin machete because of excess discounting.
