Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Will Ashworth]

  In the same period, Nordstrom (JWN) has seen net income increase by 83% on a 46% jump in revenue. True, Nordstrom is luxury while Kohl’s isn’t, but Mansell has a lot of work regardless to do if he wants Kohls to even be in the same league as Nordstrom from an operational standpoint.

  Wet Seal (NASDAQ: WTSL  ) earned raves last year in the press and the disability community for its ads featuring 17-year-old Karrie Brown, an aspiring model who has Down syndrome. Target (NYSE: TGT  ) and Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN  ) both featured a 6-year-old with Down syndrome named Ryan in their catalogs without any fanfare, but shoppers and parents noticed and appreciated it.
