TSLA

I remember this being posted here as a short idea. Obviously that would have been disastrous to say the least. Just wondering if your views have not changed. As a car company, I would not bet a single penny on this company - but what about their [more]

Re: Tucows (TCX)

Thanks for writing about Tucows. I didn't even know they were public! Funny that I used to go to their site to download freeware/shareware software, but have not even gone to their site for maybe a decade.

I think the fact that they have [more]

Re: JCP

I'm out. Not that I can't handle a 20% loss, but removing Ron Johnson at the middle of their revamping is a step back. Putting back the old CEO that you replaced because of poor performance is a bit ridiculous.

Re: JCP

I agree that they have started to reverse on their no coupon/no sale everyday low price strategy, but I don't think it's aggressive enough. Kohl's send email and mail coupons more than 2x per week. Bed Bath has their 20% off coupons constantly. I [more]

CEO ego
Sad, but that might be true.

One thing to note - this guy is from Apple and was instrumental for the Apple Store's success. When have you ever, I mean EVER seen a discount coupon for the apple stores??? Never, is the [more]
