Top Valentines Day Stocks

by Fred Fuld III

There are just a few days left to do your shopping for Valentine’s Day. A Valentines stock would make a great gift, such as those that sell chocolate, jewelry, greeting cards, and gift wrap.

The perfect gift stock used to be the stock that makes the stuff that gifts come in. CSS Industries Inc. (CSS) markets gift wrap, gift bags, boxed greeting cards, gift tags, tissue paper, decorations, and decorative ribbons and bows. Unfortunately for investors, the company is in the process of the being taken over by IG Design Group, a UK based company that trades on the London Stock Exchange. However, there are other stocks you can choose from.

The stock trades at 25 times trailing earnings, 24.8 times forward earnings, and a price to sales ratio of 0.83.

 Almost every valentine likes chocolate. The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Inc.
