Nvidia crushes earnings; stock falls after hours
Okay, if you're a trader I sort of understand selling Nvidia (NVDA) after today's earnings report: Sell on the news; How can it get better? How long can the company keep it up? After all, the stock closed today just pennies below it's all time high. (It's the...

Ignore the short-term oil volatility and continue to hold Pioneer Natural Resources for the long-term story
So much near-term noise. Since Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) reported earnings on May 2--the company beat Wall Street estimates on earnings by 16 cents a share and reported revenue in-line with projections and up 56.5% year over year--there's been so much noise in...

So much for Argentina having turned the corner toward financial stability–selling ARGT and GGAL out of my Volatility Portfolio
It feels like panic rather than a plan. Because, I think, it is panic without a plan. The central bank of Argentina raised its benchmark interest rate another 3 percentage points today (that’s not 3 or 30 basis points but 300–a full 3 percentage points.) This comes after the central bank raised interest rates 3 percentage points last Friday. The benchmark rate now stands at 33.25%, the highest in the world

McDonald's reported a solid earnings beat of 12 cents a share ($1.79 vs expectations for $1.67) before the market opened today, April 30. Revenue fell 9.5% year over year to $5.14 billion but that was still ahead of the $4.97 billion Wall Street consensus for the...

Shares of biotech rocket Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) are down 23.25% since they traded at $106.91 on March 21, 2018. I can't find evidence that the positive catalysts that led me to recommend the stock for my Jubak Picks portfolio and the options for my Volatility...Jim’s Stock Alerts
