    Hello Big:

    Is there a reason for the pullback in NVDA? The valuations appears quite reasonable.     Reply

    This chart would be even more useful if it also included trailing PEs. Reply

    The problem with GRMN is that all of their functionalities can and will be imported into or imbedded into cell phones. Unless GRMN plans on getting into telecom they have a bleak future. Maybe they can develop some code or apps for the i-phone and forestall the inevitable. Reply

    Monster: Worrisome Falloff in May Job Listings [view article]
    This would be interesting if Monster had only one destination for revenue. Unfortunately, they have something like 51 and we all know companies are looking for growth outside of the Americas. How is the postings activities on all their other sites? Reply

    How can you say WebMD "outperformed&quo... when it lowered its 2008 forecast just a week before? You still dont understand their business if you are still advocating this stock as a buy. Reply

    Industrials: The New Safe Haven for Investors [view article]
    Great analysis Howard. I recently read an article on the WSJ that interviewed a prominent investment guru, I forget his name. Basically his prediction is that industrial mfring and export related industries will pick up steam in the next few years. Reply

    Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
    Correcting a myth - regarding GM and Toyota Motor (TM).

    Many believe that GM is no. 1 globally as recently published it outsold Toyota by 1000 or 3000 cars in 2007.

    In reality, GM's revenue was $181B in 2007 (01/2007-12/2007) down considerably on YOY. Toyota's revenue was $252B in FY2007 (04/2007-03/2008) up nearly 10%.

    It is high time the U.S. auto industry started dealing with the harsh reality before it is too late. Hype and spin can go just so far...

    With job contraction won't they lose revenue from corporations? But they will gain from job seekers. Reply

    Newspapers: Not a Zero-Sum Game - A Minus-Sum Game [view article]
    I work at a Print publishing plant for Gannett. Don't ask about working for them because I never chose too (Company got bought out in 2000 by GCI). Excluding how I feel about Gannett. I can tell you that even in these troubling/downsizing times. We are printing all kinds of commercial print other than just newspapers. Print is changing and downsizing. But there will always be a segment of population that is not tech savvy. That will never have computers etc... Now my timeframe? Well how about my life time (I am 44). The key is finding a business model that keeps the companies if not thriving at least surviving. Case in point: WPO's Kaplan educational services. Newspapers can diversify there company. GCI offers a nice dividend at it's current price (over 5%). Reply

    Friday's Options Report: CFC, NMX, CPRT, AIG, CSCO, INTU, SWIM, MNST, JAVA, MSFT [view article]
    To User 187558, for options traders (and stock investors alike), the writer is giving "color" as to why these stocks and options had such high level of activity on a relative and absolute basis, respectively. We will never know the complete reasons why suddenly so many options were traded for XYZ stock, but being aware that such movement has taken place gives us readers an opportunity to see the writer's explanation of why these trades were being made based on the particular options bought and sold. That is to say I don't necessary agree with the writer's assertions, but I appreciate the "color" and the update on these sizeable moves.

    For SWIM, it recently announced that the SEC began an inquiry. In its form 8-k filing, SWIM stated:
    "The Company is cooperating with a non-public, informal inquiry by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") relating to representations by certain presenters in certain portions of their presentations at some of the Company's seminars. The Company has been cooperating with and intends to continue to cooperate with the SEC. Because it is ongoing, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this informal inquiry at this time, and, as a result, no conclusion can be reached as to what impact, if any, this inquiry may have on the Company or its operations."

    From my personal experience (at a paid seminar) -- SWIM put on a "full court press" (this is my opinion) to get people to buy more expensive courses -- their PHD course had a list price as much as $35,362 but was being discounted to $23,999 at the seminar good for two people. The upsell was unbelievable (again, my opinion) and continued one more time even after the formal seminar was over! It was supposed to be a 2-day seminar on learning their famed "3-green arrow system" and boy, did the instructor talk about options and 'complex' option-strategies (like an iron condor, a four-legged trade, that were beyond the scope of the basic stock course) and asserted numerous questionable investment strategies / results. I am not surprise by the SEC inquiry especially since SWIM members constantly "brag" (again, my opinion) how they can make "4% a month" on SWIM's dedicated message boards for paid subscribers. I understand GIPS and have worked in performance attribution so I know how difficult it is for a portfolio or a composite to each at a rate of 4% a month.

    This was a self-inflicted injury for SWIM. Notwithstanding my aforementioned comments, SWIM does have a real franchise like "Toolbox" and "Prophet" with recurring income streams and a highly ranked options firms called ThinkorSwim that is gaining accounts. In fact, SWIM reported a profit for its recent fiscal quarter.

    Cheers.     Reply

    The picture could certainly continue to improve for Monster and the economy at large...but I'm going to stick to my original thesis for a bit longer. I don't think we've seen the real employment picture take shape yet, and once we do, that's when this stock will take a beating. But we shall see. Reply

    Newspapers: Not a Zero-Sum Game - A Minus-Sum Game [view article]
    I woke up this morning thinking about the bicycle shop I used to frequent in my hometown. The were family owned and in town since forever. When big box stores started coming up, people bought their kid's bicycles there instead of the family shop. Business faltered and then their world changed completely as a walmart and toys r us was built in town. They went bankrupt.

    The upside is that there is new bike shop in town. They sell and repair high end road-bikes and mountain-bikes. They participate in local events. They sponsor local riders for the amateur circuit with little things like free tire tubes and wheel alignments. They have a loyal and growing customer base that the big box stores cannot touch.

    Newspapers take note. Adapt to the market.     Reply
