    Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
    Oil price is going up that scares the consumers but not the government. In fact timely government inventory drop serves as catalyst to price increase. There is no cry from the goverment to control or to do some thing. After reading David Baldacci's and Clive Cussler's fiction stories on government, my question is "is there any connection."? Our scientist and researchers those who put man on the moon are capable producing quick results considering hydrogen and bio fuels. In fact pwerful hydrogen technology was develpoed by private investor in late seventies and is readily available. Only we need money and interest of our goverment. Is oil lobbyist over powering consumers cry? Reply

    Thanks Ruth, I'm really glad you find the earnings summaries useful.

    We're going to continue doing them this way, but we've got something else in store too. Hint: Keep an eye on our home page next week.     Reply

    Eli, just want to let you know how much I like your new method of reporting the earnings results in Wall Street Breakfast. I find it the most useable earnings reporting that I've seen online. Love the red and green highlights; that you split the earnings into after close and before open; and how concisely the list presents a large amount of info.
    Thank you!!
    Ruth

    The word is "gouging", the Bush regime drops oil in inventory to make more available in U.S. and lower cost (knowing its not going lower), big money says, "price of oil rises because inventories are down", raise inventory levels, and big money says "lack of fuel for consumers" (Chicken or the egg theory). The real terrorist act is still going on in the U.S. and Washington. Reply

    "IEA sees crude crunch". You should quote the source and say that it is an unconfirmed wild assumption about the results of a just started study, full of uncertainties, about the supply situation 10 years from now. Besides supply, nobody knows what oil demand will be in 10 years, with all kind of conservation measures and alternatives beeing developed.
    There are already enough false statements fuelling the speculation. You should not add to that.     Reply

    I remember the Carter - era lines at gas stations, and the NO GAS signs too.... and the price controls that followed and made things worse.
    Now I have experienced some long lines like that at the COSTCO discount gas pump. More people are gassing there to get a few cents off the price of gas at their neighborhood station, making for a much longer wait, much longer lines at COSTCO out in Puget Sound's Kitsap Peninsula. We've been gassing there for years, and breezed through until this month.     Reply

    And still, there are no Carter-era type lines at the gas stations.

    However, there are some in Congress who are looking for ways to return to that condition.

    Vote early and often (changing each time) in November.     Reply

    I agree Mr. Laljee is just bluffing with this article. He focuses too much on the so called saturation of the internet tax filing market and some illusionist idea that INTU almost reached its end, which contradicts the Compay's latest innovations. The article is badly articulated and lacks real figures and objective research data. I feel the so-called analyst wrote it just because he had nothing else to do. Reply

    Jackson Hewitt: Taxes at a Discount [view article]
    User 177145, you were correct to point out that I was too early jumping into this stock and that it made a bottom much lower than I was anticipating. However, it has already recovered more than 20% over the past two weeks since you made your post.

    JTX remains in a strong position and is a valuable franchise. The company made some mistakes, which I did not anticipate and it quickly paid for them with a lower stock price. Those problems were temporary and are behind us now.

    As inflation picks up further many of the mom and pop shops will be driven out of business or will be forced to raise prices. JTX input costs, on the other hand, will not change significantly and they will be in a great position to gain market share.

    Unless management makes some bad mistakes or the US economy collapses completely, this stock should double from here by next summer.     Reply

    Thank you! As a basically-momentum investor (I have to like the stock otherwise, too) I find these compilations very helpful indeed. Reply

    Mr. Laljee obviously did not research very solidly for this article. INTU has introduced a plethora of new programs small business management, physician's office, etc. If the stock is not performing well, as I have found through out the markets today, it is because very few analysts perform primary research.

    You are all wrong. JTX dropped below all your expectations. With the amount of heat they got last year due to there unprofessional experiences, who's dumb enough to buy? There fee's were also high. With the emergence of all these mom and pops stores that are doing simple tax returns for $25-$35, they are literally choking them out. Jackson Hewitt charges atleast $75-$100 for a simple return.
    It's even worse that the market is terrible. Even with the Economic Stimulus Plan that Bush passed (which will cause people to file who usually arent required to file), JTX will still fall , even before the season ends. So, stay away from JTX. Stay far, far away.     Reply
