Revisting AIB

I wasn't right about many stocks, including GOOG and RIMM, but I was right about one stock, AIB. This stock was over $2 just a month ago, and now it dropped to $1.18, its trading is now more or less like SIRI (which is a bugs bunny stock). AIB is now...

Citigroup: A Resilient Stock

Every day there are some bad news coming about banks: foreclosures, new regulations, etc... Of course, bank stocks are hugely affected by these bad news, there is one bank stock that is resiliently moving up: C. I love C, I always feel depressed if I...

Sanofi is after Genzyme for a few months now, with no avail. Genzyme just won't sell. Sanofi today began a hostile takeover to buy Genzyme. The hostile takeover values the company at $18.5 billion, or $69 per share, the same price that Sanofi offered to...

Stocks I Would Love to Have

Here's a list of some of the stocks that I would love to have, and the price I'd like to buy them at: RIG: The most beautiful stock in the world, someone should name a whole city after RIG (let's call it the "Rigged City", get it?). I always made money...

I wrote last month on how credit card companies have a wrong vision by punishing the merchants with higher fees (to compensate for lower fees that they will be getting from credit card users), it didn't take that long to prove my point. A recent article...

I have written earlier about the hostile bid that BHP made to acquire Potash of Saskatchewan. BHP back then offered $130/share to buy the company, the bid was rejected, and POT soared to $143 (from $112). POT then was growing moderately nearly every week...
