Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Douglas A. McIntyre]

  One criticism of a CEO Hall of Fame would be that it would not provide much of a service. That is not entirely true, if it is true at all. There is a difference between Bill Gates of Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) and MikeJeffries, the CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF). Jeffries has gone a long way to ruin a great brand, and he has been paid tens of millions of dollars in the process. Gates continues to be considered one of the great business innovators of the past hundred years.

Earnings and revenue figures have been increasing over ! most of the last four quarters, however, investors have been a bit confused. Relative to its peers and sector, Abercrombie & Fitch has been a year-to-date performance leader. Look for Abercrombie & Fitch to OUTPERFORM.

  Is this an isolated incident?
  Victoria's Secret isn't the only company to face consumers' wrath over marketing. In 2011, Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF  ) released a "push-up" bikini, originally intended for 7-year-olds and up. Parents were outraged, and the blowback forced Abercrombie to rename the bikini and announce that it was for 12-year-olds and up. In 2006, U.K. companyTesco (LSE: TSCO  ) came under fire for selling a stripper pole with the words "Unleash the sex kitten inside," in its toys and games section. CNN Money named the company's move one of the "101 Dumbest Moments in Business."
