The consumer?s obituary has been written: John Q. Public maxed out his credit card on one too many Abercrombie & Fitch fleeces. He is survived by his flatscreen HDTV. But my contrarian streak tells me that one type of consumer will rise from the ashes like Zelda when he finds a new shield. Like Super Mario when he eats a mushroom.

An earnings "triple play" occurs when a stock beats earnings and revenue estimates and guides future earnings higher. There were about 70 stocks that had "triple plays" during the first quarter earnings season. As we enter the second quarter earnings season, investors may want to look at these stocks to find momentum plays or ones that had strong reports but fell by the wayside as the overall market declined.
In the first table below, we highlight "triple play" stocks from the first quarter that are up the most...

With the downturn in the economy exacerbated by rising unemployment, the financial sector meltdown and stock market volatility, consumers' confidence has hit rock bottom and their desire to spend is in a freeze mode.
