Wells Fargo, JPM Report, and Survive
Trader Mark submits: I honestly think every major mutual fund in America is flocking to Wells Fargo WFC - every dip is bought and this is one of the very few stocks over both the 50 and 200 day moving averages. They should have quite a powerful franchise when all...

The Tribe Speaks: Apple Is Good Enough

Will CF Industries Take Itself Private?
Trader Mark submits: CF Industries CF is yet another fertilizer company whose valuation simply makes little sense. It reported stellar earnings  Monday and was up 12% early Tuesday morning. That sounds exciting, except when you realize that takes it all the way back to Friday's pricing... which is the...

Share Buybacks Make Apple Sweeter

Mastercard Trounces Earnings
Trader Mark submits: We are long Mastercard MA but apparently not enough - post earnings the stock is flying 14%. The stock gapped up through its 20 day moving average ($151) and its next test should be $180 or the 50 day moving average. MA has been "fortunate" enough to...
