Netflix lowered their subscriber numbers for the year last night, leading to a big 14% drop in the stock price today (so far). 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 (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 faster (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 (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 estimates. (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 (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 have) at $74 Billion, based (more…)
Facebook released their numbers in preparation for an IPO, showing 2011 revenue of $3.7 Billion and profits of $1 Billion. Speculation is the IPO will be valued as high as $100 Billion. This would be a P/E of 100. That’s high, but then P/E’s are not as significant an indicator for young companies with a lot (more…)
Sometimes you look at a stock like Netflix when it was trading at $300+ and think “Here is a great company in a market with super growth, but how can I justify the price?” Well, it turns out you don’t have to justify the price because the market is beating the shit out of the (more…)
This is happening to me, with one of my stocks right now: RCRC. A few months ago, I bought about 50 shares of RC2 Corporation (RCRC), a maker of die-cast and wooden toys, at $20. My wife and I were looking for an investment idea based on the toys and media we’re buying for our 2-year-old son. (more…)
A couple months ago I opened a position in Activision Blizzard (ATVI). Blizzard is the Pixar of the gaming industry. All of their games are blockbusters. The most notable title World of Warcraft collects $15/month from their millions and millions of players. I got interested in the stock after picking up Star Craft 2, another (more…)
