Good China, Bad China

After YHOO earnings, BIDU is down more than 3% as I write this, with its own earnings scheduled for July 28th.

Moreover, as we have been profiling for Members consistently, two of the better...

Low and Slow is Money

We have the makings of a "low and slow" quiet consolidation day in the market, with stocks largely hanging in remarkably well despite a steady stream of negative headlines in recent weeks around the globe.

Netflix Earnings Tonight, By Order of The Peaky Blinders

Here we are again with Netflix, a leader in the market for years where bears have had multiple chances to roll this thing over one and for all. However, consistent with the way things have been for those of the ursine mindset, the resilience here is undeniable.

How to Give the Speech About the Birds and the Bears

In front of earnings on July 26th, the Twitter Bird is shocking the world. Just when seemingly every effete financial journalist had written off the firm as having blown a golden opportunity in its market (recall how many "Twitter is Dead" articles were published), the stock looks to have bottomed at the $14 level into Memorial Day. Since...

D-G-L-Y: You Ain't Got No Alibi

Regardless of where your fall on the political spectrum, there is little doubt of the extra scrutiny now being applied to law enforcement in America. And that will only be magnified these next few weeks, what with the GOP and then Democratic National Conventions in Cleveland and Philadelphia, respectively. As a result, a firm like Digital...

The Rising Tide Lifting Most of These Boats

In the short-term, as is fairly obvious at this point, the broad market is stretched and could easily pause into next week. But the clear winner of late has been the hot software space. Into the inevitable consolidation, I am stalking the likes of ZEN and company for fresh entires. We played EBIX and RP with Members in recent weeks, and now the...
