1) Picking up where I left off yesterday with articles of interest regarding stocks I've written about, here's an article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about struggling pharma giant Pfizer (PFE): Pfizer Has a New Playbook for Reviving Sales – and It's Starting to Pay Off. Excerpt: The beleaguered drugmaker's shares still haven't recovered from […]

Catching up on a number of things that have caught my eye in recent days... 1) First up is this chart and interesting analysis from a blog called The Weekly ChartStorm of all 29 S&P 500 Index corrections (a 10% loss or more) since 1965, breaking them down into whether they were accompanied by a […]

As I've written countless times, one key to successful investing is what the late Charlie Munger once called "sit-on-your-ass investing"... In other words, make as few trades as possible so you can let your winners run and profit from the magic of long-term compounding. But if you're only, say, making an average of one trade […]

1) If you've read my work for long, you probably have an idea of my feelings on the market after yesterday's moves... After its 1.4% drop yesterday, the S&P 500 Index closed 10.1% lower from the all-time high it hit less than a month ago on February 19. That means it entered correction territory, defined […]

Another day, another implosion by a stock I've repeatedly warned my readers about... And not just any stock: iRobot (IRBT), maker of the Roomba robotic vacuum, has been on my 25-stock "Short Squeeze Bubble Basket" ever since I created it at the peak of the meme-stock bubble on January 27, 2021. I nailed the top […]

1) Today, let's come back to footwear maker Deckers Outdoor (DECK)... As a reminder, on Friday, I shared my usual "first glance" with the company's stock chart and historical revenue and net income... and on Monday, I dug a bit deeper into the financials. I concluded that "Deckers' historical financials are among the best I've […]

After peaking a mere three weeks ago, stocks have moved sharply lower... Through yesterday's close, the S&P 500 Index is down 9% from its February 19 high. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index peaked on December 16. And after a 4% loss yesterday – its worst day since 2022 – it's down 13% since that […]

Picking up where I left off on Friday... Today, let's take a closer look at footwear maker Deckers Outdoor (DECK). As a reminder, the stock has been a monster over the past decade... but recently crashed more than 40% after the company reported disappointing earnings at the end of January. As always, I start with […]

1) Markets have pulled back somewhat in the past two weeks – led by the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index, which entered correction territory yesterday. As of yesterday's close, the index is down 10% from its record high back in December. Looking at just this week, as of yesterday's close the Dow Jones Industrial Average is […]

1) The vast majority of the time, I avoid making big market calls... It's usually only a few times a decade when I decide the market is so ripe for a fall – or rebound – that I do so. But one thing I always preach is: Don't recklessly speculate. It's so tempting to try […]
