Guru stock highlight

Deckers Outdoor (NYSE:DECK), which is best-known as the maker of Uggs, is working on broadening its product line away from winter footwear to more fashionable, all-season wares.

Its shares tend to move around a lot based on seasonal holiday sales, so its stock was hit hard by the warm winter and slower 2015 holiday sales cycle. Even as its shares have bounced back a bit, the Street still doesn't seem to be expecting a lot in the near term from the company. I like its long-term potential.
