"Remember the big retail rally not that long ago? That, like the tech rally, now feels like a total short-squeeze." - Jim Cramer

  • LIZ
    Liz Claiborne Inc
  • $4.40
  • -2.65%
  • $4.50

Exhibit A in the short-squeeze theory is Liz Claiborne (LIZ), which last month rallied on a really crummy quarter. This heavily shorted name drew tons of buyers, a real head scratcher, but here it is now at its 52-week low.

People owning LIZ also tend to own: DEBSDLXEXPOHRBKCPLENMDC

  • JCP
    Penney J C Co Hol
  • $29.23
  • +0.07%
  • $29.16

Many thought that JCPenney (JCP) had reached a bottom and that things going forward would get better. Oops! The stock acts terribly as does its partner, Ralph Lauren (RL), which also had a good run after its last quarter.

  • TGT
    Target Cp
  • $47.46
  • +0.42%
  • $47.10

Costco (COST) and BJ's (BJ), both with excellent quarters under their belts are being hammered and so, for that matter, is Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT). The latter, I think, is two to three dollars too high on a relative basis and I would sell or short it here

People owning TGT also tend to own: HOVSUAAPLHMCAMATBDGGE

  • SHLD
    Sears Holdings Co
  • $71.06
  • -0.84%
  • $71.66

Just to be clear, I despise this group. I hate it almost as much as the financials. I even sold my last couple hundred shares of Sears (SHLD) today because I just don't believe it can get through this period without being cut in half, although I do believe it can survive this period. But managers do need to own a retailer, now you know which ones they will buy.

People owning SHLD also tend to own: AAALLAPCBABACCCAT

  • COST
    Costco Wholesale
  • $60.51
  • -0.10%
  • $60.81

In fact the only ones I would buy are Costco and Wal-Mart because value is supreme here and portfolio managers have to own something in retail. These are the two best choices.

People owning COST also tend to own: AMTANFAVIDCNOCOHESIEXPD
