Easy win

When your job is to supply replacement parts, automation components, and technical support for all kinds of industrial activity, you'll always have plenty of work. AIT touches so, so many manufacturing operations, which makes it a clear and easy... — read more 

SCOR

Should SCOR be sold at this time? The price is just right but I'm not sure if the timing is.

HIMS

After the merger with Hims /amp; Hers a few years back, the original ticker symbol, OAC, can no longer be traded with. It's HIMS now.

A quiet winner

Manhattan Associates just keeps chugging along and I'm here for the ride. Cloud revenue is up 24%, with only 15% of customers migrated so far. They're buying back stock like crazy, which is great. Seems like a quiet winner, even with the steep... — read more 

Five Below's Q1 numbers were crazy

So good to see a company I hold pop like that. With 32 percent increase in revenue, reaching $1.29 billion, and EPS more than doubling to $2.22, I'm one very happy camper. And yes, I know the stock dropped, but I personally think that's just... — read more 

CI shareholders: do you still see growth here?

I've owned some CI shares for a while now, and I'm still holding. Just wondering how everyone feels about the business these days. Do you think it's still growing at a healthy pace, or is the growth story starting to fade? Just trying to make sure... — read more 

The waiting game

So a bunch of institutions are buying, and insiders are selling. The stock keeps bouncing around, up a little from the lows, but something about it just feels stuck. It's a bank in a higher-for-longer world, and the yield doesn't hurt, but the... — read more 

Maybe the dividend is all that's left

PepsiCo has been stuck in a rut lately. The stock keeps drifting lower, and every time I check, it is a little worse than before. They reported solid earnings, but the real story is what is happening with the snack business. People are buying fewer... — read more 

What am I missing here

Salesforce hit a three-year low, down about forty percent this year, and I cannot make sense of it. They recently reported earnings and the numbers were fine. Their AI product is bringing in real money now, over a billion dollars in annual recurring... — read more 

The numbers are insane

They just posted earnings and it was one of those quarters that sounds made up. Revenue more than quadrupled from last year. They made more money in three months than they used to make in a year. Customers are so desperate for chips they're putting... — read more 

Maybe I should have sold

Nvidia was near $236 a couple weeks ago. Now it's below $200. I knew it could drop, just not this fast. Earnings were still great, Jensen says demand is strong, but the market is pulling back from big tech and the beat was smaller than usual. And... — read more 

JVA

Things weren't looking good at one point but I can confidently say that JVA improved exponentially this year.

JCS

Perfect performance. I would buy it right now if anyone is planning on trading this week.

FPI

FPI is doing really well. It's a hold for me for now. I'm happy with it.

Not a good time for RLI

The company hit an all-time high in 2025 and it's been downhill ever since. I'm not really sure why, I always considered this to be a solid choice in specialty insurance and risk management. It could be considered undervalued at this point, but... — read more 

Meta press is getting worse

I rarely read anything positive these days. It's always something about major changes (drop of the Metaverse), layoffs, low morale... I'm starting to worry that the recent slide isn't just something that'll reverse but will continue to go down... — read more 

Morningstar seems promising

Morningstar is becoming more of a tech company than a research firm, and I think it's working for them. With massive amounts of private market data, the growth is all but guaranteed. Changes in leadership also brought more experience to the firm... — read more 

Is the market still overestimating 3M's legal risks?

Already own MMM and thinking about adding more. Feels like a lot of investors still see 3M as a lawsuit stock, even though the big settlements are largely out in the open. Meanwhile, the business seems to be improving. Am I missing something, or is... — read more 

All that growth and the stock barely moved

Let me count the ways this one puzzles me. Revenue is up eighteen percent. Bookings are strong. They raised their outlook for the year. That is three good things right there. Yet the stock has been drifting lower since earnings came out a few weeks... — read more 

Solid quarter and the stock just drifted lower

Walmart's earnings came out and they were fine. On any other day, you would call that a win. But the stock has been inching lower for weeks. Down about nine percent over the past month with no real reason. What gets me is how other retailers are... — read more 

China deliveries and more layoffs

Boeing finally delivered a 737 MAX to China last week after years of nothing. That is a rare bit of good news, and the stock popped a little. Then they announced more layoffs, another four hundred engineers and technical workers. Hard to get excited... — read more 

Up too fast

Dell hit a record high after earnings and then just started slipping back down. Everybody keeps talking about AI servers and how demand is through the roof, and maybe that is all true. But the stock has already more than tripled this year and... — read more 

FDMT

Selling FDMT might be for the best now. There's nothing else we can do with it besides to sell it for good.

EGP

The numbers don't lie. EGP is on fire. I would recommend anyone who has an interest in this industry to check out EGP. It really is that good.

Gen6

Is the new Gen6 platform what's going to push Itron into greatness? It lets utilities mix and match different communication networks and devices without having to rip everything out, which I think could be a gamechanger for the industry. Am I right... — read more 

I just sold and I couldn't be happier

Decided to take a chance when the stock was at around $20 last year. I always believed in Intel and that paid off with major interest. I know it could go even higher, but earning a $100 to every $20 I invested is more than enough for me. One of the... — read more 

Matson is on the right path

It's been around for a century and a half and it keeps doing shipping the simple but reliable way. It's Asia business is also exploding, and is no longer relying strictly on China but also on Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. All in all, this is one... — read more 

What are everybody's thoughts on ZS?

I know this looks really bad on paper, with it losing nearly 95% in the past five years, but that's exactly what makes it interesting to me. It feels like it could be undervalued and is just waiting for the right moment to pop again. I still can't... — read more 

JYNT

JYNT had a good month. Hopefully this good luck will continue all summer long.

So many downgrades

BMO, RBC, Loop Capital, and William Blair hit the company with downgrades in March and April, mostly because the stock has been stagnate for the past year. I wonder if the fact that Q4 had record sales growth and a total of $45 million in annual... — read more 

Is Expand Energy the best way to play a natural gas rebound, or is it just a bigger commodity bet?

EXE seems like the obvious gas rebound play now that Chesapeake and Southwestern are merged. Bigger company, more scale, and probably better cash flow if gas prices move up. But isn’t this still basically just a bet on natural gas prices? If gas... — read more 

Two downgrades in one week

Deutsche Bank and Barclays both downgraded Cigna in mid-May, worried about uncertainty in the pharmacy business and membership losses. The stock dropped from around $300 down to $274 in a couple weeks. Earnings were actually fine last quarter, but... — read more 

SpaceX went public and now I'm confused

The stock has been sliding, down about eight percent over the last month and sitting around $406. Then SpaceX went public last week and now everyone is talking about that instead. Tesla owns 19 mil shares of SpaceX, so a big move there affects Tesla... — read more 

Up too fast, feels shaky

Intel jumped after earnings in late April and climbed to a 132 in May, the highest in ages. Bank of America gave it a rare double upgrade a few days ago and the stock popped another ten percent. The stock has more than tripled this year and trades at... — read more 

RMRM

Just some heads up... they are no longer traded under the ticker symbol RIF. It's RMRM now.

Good performance lately

PODD has been performing well these past few months and I have no reason to believe that things will change for the worse. So I'm happy with PODD.

Nice recovery

I got a little worried when ATI dropped under $150 last month, but several weeks later, we're back in business and above $180 once again. Now I'm pi---d at myself for not buying the dip, could have made a nice sum if I was brave enough, especially... — read more 

How to know when to exit?

We all know once the bubble bursts, Nvidia will come falling fast. But I don't want to miss out on the hype before it happens. I want to see the high and exit before it starts to go down. I've been following AI news and it looks like the day might be... — read more 

Downgraded by Jefferies

Another hit for the stock that has been getting crushed consistently. I guess switching to AI Pods subscription mode that cut revenue by 25% to 35% is not so popular among investors. Who would have thought, right? I think there's still some hope for... — read more 

Why does Bruker keep getting cheaper?

Solid Q1 numbers, beat on both revenue and earnings, guiding for 15% EPS growth this year, and yet the stock went down. What am I missing that's brought the price down nearly 6 percent just in the last few days? I'd really like to know, because I'm... — read more 

Can Qualcomm keep its smartphone dominance?

Feels like everyone is trying to ditch Qualcomm eventually:Apple, Samsung, even Chinese OEMs building their own chips. But Snapdragon still kinda runs Android flagship phones. Do you guys think Qualcomm keeps its market share, or is this the start... — read more
