Advisors' Opinion:- [By Rich Duprey]
The combination of the two retailers will create the fourth largest retailer of menswear, behind department-store chains Macy's (NYSE: M ) , Kohl's (NYSE: KSS ) , and�J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP ) with�1,700 stores, 23,000 employees, and pro forma sales of $3.5 billion. Yet Men's Wearhouse has rightly said it's not going to rebrand Bank's stores in recognition of the two companies' separate customer bases and different corporate cultures.

Kohl's (NYSE: KSS ) hasn't provided specific information regarding performance during the holiday period. However, the company reported a 1.6% decline in comparable-store sales for the quarter ended on Nov. 2. Management is expecting comparable sales for the current quarter to be between flat and a 2% decline, so Kohl's isn't offering many reasons for optimism regarding the possibility of improving conditions for department stores.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Dan Caplinger]
Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) , up 18.5%
Most of HP's gains came in the wake of its earnings report last week, in which the stock gained 17%. Although investors expected to see concrete signs of progress in HP's turnaround, they didn't expect to see the resiliency that the company's results exhibited. Earnings and net income predictably fell because of weakness in the PC market, but promising prospects in areas like networking, cloud services, and software have investors believing that the company is moving more quickly toward recovering profit growth than they previously thought. HP still has a long way to go, but arguably, regaining the confidence of shareholders was the key obstacle for the company to overcome. - [By Robert Martin]
The other big announcement, which would absolutely be shouted publicly, is a potential big agreement with Hewlett-Packard (HPQ). This is especially notable considering ORCL recently struck an agreement with another rival: Salesforce.com (CRM).
