- 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...

- Alliance Data Systems Beats Expectations Soundly
- Trader Mark submits: Remember we own Alliance Data Systems ADS for a non-financial, non-commodity (i.e. non correlated to the most controversial areas of the market), heavy buyback stock.

- Mechel: Glad I Got Out When I Did
- Trader Mark submits: Long-time readers will remember former holding Mechel MTL.... I just pulled up a quote and see it is hovering just over $4. Ouch. Russia has been among the worst stock markets this year, closing their market almost on a weekly basis now. Mr. Putin didn't help Mechel...

- 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.

- 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...

- Not a Good Week for Chinese Dot.Coms
- Trader Mark submits: Both Baidu.com BIDU and Ctrip.com CTRP have taken serious whacks this week, showing yet again the risk of holding individual equities in this type of market is simply too great - hence the better focus appears to be ETFs as the "risk" part of risk/reward is overweighted....
