    • Best Buy Swallows Napster: The Perfect Deal? [view article]
      NAPSTER was trading for less than the cash it held on the balance sheet - a deal was not a question of if, but when. BBY essentially got the music business for free! Sep 29 03:17 AM

      I like where you are going, but some ideas need some more quantifying here. For ex: UA is obviously a very controversial stock, so you'd expect people to slam you if you call it a short and do not back up the prose with any real analysis. One could just as much say that UA is oversold (down 45% over the last year) and is ready to burn shorts if they report a better than expected number. you have to admit that most stocks in this environment are not trading on fundamentals, so I would love to hear more from you on UA. CC is a dice roll and AMZN is too big for me. UA I can play with, so tel us more please Sep 25 11:25 PM

      good article, thanks. I've taken a massive haircut on this stock and am sort of in triage right now, trying to figure out if the next move is another valuation clipping. I agree it is cheaper, but it is not cheap. Sep 15 12:19 PM
    • ADC Telecom a Buy On Valuation [view article]
      100% upside in this environment is too bullish. The carriers are consolidating and that is hurting pricing, and subsequently, margins. But there is def a case for a 20-30% move from here as the stock is just too cheap. Sep 08 11:03 AM

    • WaMu: Speculative Value Play [view article]
      good article, I see where you are going, but 1) you assume 2.3x TBV per share is the right multiple -- is it?Mean reversion doesnt always work, if that is what you are implying.... and 2) at a post raise TBVPS of 6.60, its really trading @ ~ .6x TBV ($4/$6.6), so it doesnt look too cheap after you take into consideration your scenario.
