Brent Wilsey, president of Wilsey Asset Management, takes on the coffee chain -- and names two tech-oriented stocks he says are bargain buys.

] is so beaten down that "now might be a good time to get in on it." He praises the company's "good strategy" of re-focusing on its core coffee product.

Steverman says his journalistic research points to Nordstrom [JWN
