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 

I don't trust the growth

Amazon is up about 40% since March. The stock just keeps climbing and climbing, but a run this fast makes me nervous. People keep talking about AI demand like it is guaranteed money, but you hear more and more companies asking what they are actually... — read more 

Q3 was great. Stock dipped anyway.

The numbers looked really solid. Sales were up, membership fees grew, and they are even planning to give some tariff refunds back to customers. But the stock dropped about four percent the next day and has been drifting lower since. The problem is... — read more 

Another round of cuts and nobody blinks

Meta let go of eight thousand more people last month. The official reason is that AI needs the money more than payroll does. Revenue grew, profits are up, and the stock is hanging out near six hundred. That all sounds fine. But it is the third big... — read more 

JAZZ

JAZZ had a good month. It's truly a hold for me. A good stock like that is hard to come by.

DTEA

Still relevant... I hear people raving about it regularly. It's good to know that DTEA is performing well in every area.

I dumped Oracle

All of it. I never thought it'd be possible, but there's now a realistic chance the company will have to declare bankruptcy if the AI bubble pops, and it's likely to do so, and I have no intention of being around when it happens. This is not the only... — read more 

Hold or run?

Stock shot up on some AI deals, then dropped eleven percent in one day because people took profits. That's the whole story right there. Company announced a big buyback and raised the dividend, which sounds great. But insiders are selling millions... — read more 

Stock still just sits there

They reported earnings a few weeks ago, beat on revenue and profit, even said North America snack volumes grew for the first time in two years after they finally cut some prices. The CEO sounded pretty happy about it. Stock popped a couple percent... — read more 

Soaring

LPG has a steady performance. It's soaring, really. This is a good and reliable stock, through and through.
