Last week, I made the case to purchase Zynga stock in anticipation of their August 6th Q3 report. (BTW, you'll be able to find the Q3 earnings report and conference call link on the Zynga Investor Relations site.) At the time, ZNGA was trading around $2.85 per share. Since then, the stock has...
Read More →Aside: I'm going to try to blog here when I do research for stocks I'm investing in and in particular when I am sharing ideas with my mother. Explaining an investment to my mother and to the blog here are remarkably similar processes... so two birds with one stone and all. Next up: Zynga (ZNGA)....
Read More →I'm bullish on Bitcoins, from a price perspective and also from a technology perspective. Like many out there, I'm kicking myself for not jumping on the bandwagon sooner. I remember when they were $5 and I was first reading about them. I remember when they were less than $1 per coin, and my office...
Read More →My Mom asked me about Bed Bath and Beyond recently. She used to be a store manager there. She sold her stock a while ago (missed that big up swing) but thinks there may be a buying opportunity now. I also owned some way back and sold after a small gain, missing most of the big 2-3 year rally here....

Fellow InvestorGeek Chris texted me asking if I'd be buying Netflix in the 50s. I personally won't be buying any $NFLX stock today, but only because I already own a lot of...
Read More →Netflix is another company I'm accumulating stock in for a long term play. Until recently, NFLX was one of those stocks I always wanted to buy into but thought it was overpriced. I waited for a pull back that never came until... all the hoop la last fall. Assuming subscribers and revenue can grow...
Read More →I bought a chunk of Microsoft (MSFT) stock at $25. At the time, my thinking was "why does MSFT have a PE below 10"? While a stock like AAPL is priced for perfection (which they keep delivering), at a 10 PE Microsoft was priced for mediocrity... and it's been treading water it has for the better...
Read More →Today I'll show a couple charts for Google (GOOG), which I am accumulating in my retirement account. My strategy with Google is to get as many shares as possible as cheaply as possible. I have some targets where I'd be stupid not to sell, but in general GOOG prices stay fairly valued to my...
Read More →I'm going to post some charts of "my book" over the next few days. I may post things from my watch list, and I will try to post updates on these as needed. First up is Activision Blizzard (ATVI), which I bought last year basically so I could own a piece of Blizzard. Blizzard is the Pixar of...
Read More →Trefis provides some great reports that show up in my Etrade account. Their analysis is very thorough. I especially like how they break down different business units and how much of a stock's share price is tied to each unit. Trefis values Facebook (based on the limited pre-IPO information they...
