    Uh, Apple most definitely did NOT disappoint with earnings. About the only other company that actually had earnings increase was AT&T. Starting to see an connection? Reply

    This Week's Key Earnings Reports [view article]
    I should have pointed out that the current PE (46) and FPE (10) are likely to decrease considerably with the earnings announcement. The PE should move to the mid 30's range. If you add in the predicted earnings for the following quarter (3 months from now), the PE would go down to the low 20's. At this point you should begin to see that the stock is not that outrageously priced currently. It has a long way it can move up. Reply

    The wheels are off the cart and now the cart is going into the ditch. We have to deleverage this market and control the wild shorts and traders. Many people today have nothing but money in the market, no positions either in stocks or bonds. Reply

    POT definitely seems like a great option play through earnings, especially since it is down drastically today. Oil and grain futures have been down so far today. Plus there is the potential strike at POT of the steelworkers. Even with all this, POT ought to beat on earnings. It seems extremely likely to guide higher with the recent price increase by Canpotex (+21% on potash prices). Even with oil and grain prices currently going down, this seems like a great play. Plus the geoploitical situation in Iran is very much in play with regard to oil after Secretary Rice's recent comments. The hoped for success in negotiations is clearly not going to occur. If anything Iran has more forcefully denied that they have any intention of changing their nuclear strategy. The market seems to be letting this news slip off the front burner for a while. But that will almost certainly be a very short while. POT should go up on earnings. Plus even though the recent bumper crop announcements are though likely to curb grain prices, it is not clear that they will have any effect on the currently planned fertilizer prices (or demand). It is also not clear that next year's crops will be as good as this year's even with lots of fertilizer. Again demand is likely to rise going into next year. Reply

    Stellar results for one of my favorite companies. ISRG is up 13.5% in the pre-market.
    Beyond the numbers, there isn't much surprise.. this company is consistently driving forward in a field where it has no competition.
    Robotic surgery is here to stay, as I plan to stay with this stock for years to come.
    You go girl!     Reply

    So, Pelosi and Reid, with their single digit approval ratings, want to send the helicopters over again, shoveling out money just before the November election. Heaven help us. Reply

    Joan, your note taking skills could use some work. You didn't even include Finerman's final trade idea or Najarian's segment on WalMart. You could get a 12 year old kid to take notes better than you. Reply

    Cramer is a fool. Last week he said C was going to single digits. Which one is it? Before that he said stay away from banks when they reach single digits, now WM and WB are good buys?

    As for oil, its drop is a bad macro event. Oil is dropping because of a fear that global demand will drop because of a global slow down. Duh, a global slow down is not good for equities, it is bad. Global growth is all that has kept this theoretical market going at all.     Reply

    Yahoo Reports: Microsoft-Icahn Saga Cost $22M [view article]
    Mr. Icahn should work hard with all the companies he is dealing with and help does companies to improve them self. On the other hand he is just taking advantage of the company’s problems to benefit him self without taking into consideration the fact that there people with families working in those companies. Basically what he is doing is taking the money, jobs and benefits from the people of those companies. Reply

    Yahoo Reports: Microsoft-Icahn Saga Cost $22M [view article]
    I can't imagine why anyone is an investor in Yahoo! at this point. This is a company that makes about .10 per share per quarter with minimal growth - right now the trailing earnings are pumped up by the Alibaba.com spinoff. The market value of their Asian assets has plummeted since 1Q, and both Alibaba.com and Yahoo! Japan are publicly traded if you want a piece of them.

    Yahoo! executives get more out of the company than shareholders - no dividend, sitting on cash and failing to grow, spending big on lame acquisitions, rejection of a MSFT deal that would have represented a huge payday for shareholders - and at the same time the grants and options keep flowing. If I worked at Yahoo! and owned any shares that I wasn't required to hold, I would sell to Bill Miller or Carl Icahn at any price they would take. In the last 12 months insiders have sold almost 3,000,000 shares, led by Terry Semel. I bet the board feels really good for granting him all those options and shares to lead the company to its current low-earnings, low-growth state and then quit. Filo is also selling shares - I can only fault him for not selling more - he's way under-diversified for a billionaire.

    For about 30 billion a person could buy all of Yahoo (assuming the idiots currently holding it would let it go at today's price, though of course we've seen evidence that they won't let it go at a huge premium to market value). For about the same price one could buy a profitable company that produces tangible goods such as Alcoa, Texas Instruments, or ADM. Why would you put up with Yahoo!?     Reply
