back to school season

[abawasep33]

Hello everybody,

I am a young investor in my early learning stage about investing and markets in general. I would like to know what industries/companies should I look at as the "back-to-school" season begins. Can anybody recommend some names that tend to perform well during this cycle?
I would appreciate your suggestions.

You might consider Starbucks. They just reported an excellent quarter, same store sales up and still expanding world wide. The stock just started going up, after they reported, so watch for a dip.

Deepinwonder,

what do you think about retailers such as Office Depo, Gap, American Eagle Outfitters, Best Buy, Wal-Mart. Do they usually rise as the back-to-school season begins?

SHLD. It's a Cramer favorite and with Kmart & Sears I'm sure the back to school frenzy will hit those stores too.

Target is a good retailer also.

I heard that investors don't like Best Buy at the moment. Is there a specific reason for that ?
