  • Why Ellie Mae Is Set to Soar

    By Simon Erickson - March 6, 2013 | Tickers: ELLI

    What a year it has been for Ellie Mae (NYSE: ELLI)!

    The company rang the NYSE opening bell on Feb. 4, in part to commemorate its 15th anniversary.  It also served, unofficially, as a recognition as one of the Exchange's best-performing stocks last year.  Ellie Mae's market cap quadrupled in 2012 alone, and its share price jumped from an IPO of $6 in 2011 to north of $21 more »

    I don't like "noise". I try to avoid it whenever / wherever I can.

    Yep , call me what you want, but I'm a "retail investor". I know this to be true because everyone (and I mean Everyone) is always trying to sell me something. This means high decibels and lots and lots of BOLD PRINT.

  • Four Early Movers On Friday … Are Any Presenting Value?

    By Brian Nichols - February 15, 2013 | Tickers: ELLI, IPGP, LOGM, QLIK

    Earnings and earning-related news is the number one catalyst for stock movement. A strong quarter can dictate the direction of a stock for the following three months as can a bad quarter; in the past I have written in detail about such subjects, a domino effect following a strong or bad quarter. Therefore, I am looking and assessing four of the top movers following earnings on Friday.

  • Mortgage Originations Jump and This Stock Will Too

    By Gerelyn Terzo - February 11, 2013 | Tickers: ELLI, JPM, WFC

    Mortgage originations in the commercial and multifamily categories climbed nearly 50% in the fourth quarter versus year-ago levels, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. For all of 2012, the number of people getting new mortgages in these categories climbed nearly 25% versus 2011 levels.

    The strength in mortgage originations is being driven by a combination of low rates and improving housing conditions, where borrowers are continually investing in properties for more »

    By Mark Walker - February 5, 2013 | Tickers: ELLI, LPSN, N, CRM

    Get Your Own Cloud Man
    The familiar Rolling Stones’ classic, “Get Off of My Cloud,” was a hit when it was released in September of 1965; 48 years later, it is still relevant today.  In fact it may stage a comeback as a business anthem due to a tsunami that is currently hitting the IT market. 

    NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N) is an enterprise software company--that is, a maker of software more »

  • Three Stocks to Benefit from the 2013 Housing Recovery

    By Damon Judd - February 5, 2013 | Tickers: ELLI, PMT, STC

    A month into 2013, it is becoming apparent that the housing recovery is real and likely to continue.  According to a recent Forbes article, the Case Shiller home price index shows prices are up over last year, growing at the fastest pace year over year since mid-2006.   Home prices rose 4.5% for the 10-City Composite and 5.5% for the 20-City Composite in the 12 months ending in November more »

  • 4 Growth Stories For Your Portfolio

    By Federico Zaldua - November 16, 2012 | Tickers: ARMH, ELLI, HDB, VSI

    I think it is important to consider companies that prominent value investors have recently added to their portfolios. I like to follow stocks that top hedge funds bought in recent quarters and buy/sell them at proper technical entry points. I explained in one of my posts at Warren Trades that top value managers have more resources and information than any individual investor to analyze companies. In general, they do more »

  • Invest in the Real Estate Recovery Now

    By Hans el - November 14, 2012 | Tickers: ELLI, HD, Z

    I live in Tampa.  The housing bust massacred this area.  Houses have been for sale for 12 to 18 months without success.  Dilapidated foreclosures were abundant.  New constructions were ceased and just sat there as an eyesore near the beautiful bay because the project developers went bankrupt.  It has been a huge weight on Tampa’s economy.  

    There is good news though. I cannot speak for other markets, but here more »

  • The Best Plays to Capitalize on an Improved Housing Market

    By Brian Nichols - October 29, 2012 | Tickers: ELLI, HD, LL, OCN

    The housing market is by no means the strength of the U.S. economy. In fact, it has been the weakest link in the economy. However, in the last few months we have seen some movement in housing prices, along with consumers showing an interest to buy new homes. Most are beginning to believe that this is a sign that the housing collapse has reached its low, and that now more »

    By Saul Rosenthal - August 8, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, ELLI, YHOO, Z

    I recently posted a blog on why I decided not to buy Zillow (NASDAQ: Z). Unfortunately I was shooting down an internet stock that was many peoples’ hope for an exciting investment in the real estate market. I therefore think that I should give an alternative to those who want to invest in a real estate internet stock.

    Well, here’s a real estate internet stock that for the last more »
