rebound in consumer stocks as household wealth has improved along
with the rally in the financial markets. The S&P Consumer
Discretionary Index is up 29% year to date, versus the S&P 500,
also up a robust 18%. We believe this is a particularly opportune
time to closely evaluate the companies that participate in the
largest sector of the U.S. economy," said Keith Gay, Head of TWP's
