One day after I've written about RIM's arrogance, RIMM has plunged 4% to over a 4 year low of $43.42 (the stock will probably close below $43) on high volume (the volume by the end of the day will probably be about 24 million), which is an indication that...

Is There A Gold Bubble?

Almost everyone these days is recommending buying gold as a gold hedge, except for one person. George Soros is recommending investors to sell gold (or stay away from it), insisting that we are experiencing a gold bubble that will burst, sooner or later....

On the Arrogance of RIM

I have never seen a more arrogant company than RIM, they think they want to make the world a better place, and they somehow are free to do whatever they think right in countries where they operate in. They think it's within their rights to lecture these...

Revisiting BIOS

20 days ago, I have written a post about BIOS on why I think it's a bargain stock. At that time, the stock was at a mere $4.54, rebounding from a low of $4.13. The stock closed on Friday at $5.11, and there is a huge potential that it will close this week...

Well, Did You Buy RY?

Yesterday I have recommended RY and I gave my own reasons why this stock will bounce back, after comparing it to BMO (just 2 bad days after the earning report, and then the stock will move up aggressively). The stock reached another historical low...

PAR-lay?

It's only a matter of time before either HP or Dell will say parlay when it comes to the fight over PAR. HP has just outbid DELL at $27 per share. I don't believe it's in any party's interest to continue this stupid fight, shareholders of both companies...
