In this edition of The Motley Fool's "Ask a Fool" series, Motley Fool One analyst Jason Moser takes a question from a Fool reader who asks: "Barron's thinks Coach (COH +0.00%) is a buy. I think they outlet-stored their brand into 2nd tier territory. What are your thoughts?" Jason, who owns shares of Coach, points out that the market's uncertainty regarding the company today is understandable, but that it possesses many qualities that make it an attractive risk/reward proposition for investors who are willing to be patient.
