    By Meena Krishnamsetty - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: ABG, AN, LAD, PAG, SAH

    Eminence Capital, managed by Ricky Sandler, is coming off a year of excellent returns; ValueWalk named it as one of the 30 best performing hedge funds out of those it tracks (and many of the funds that performed better were focused on mortgages or real estate).

  • Should You Invest in Used Cars?

    By Nate Wooley - March 3, 2013 | Tickers: CRMT, KMX, GPI, LAD

    So, I just bought myself a car. Note that I don't say that I bought myself a NEW car, but just a car. It's a Chevy Impala with all the bells and whistles and, like a lot of guys with new cars, I'm very pleased with it. It's got a lot of bells and whistles that my old one didn't. Heck, I'm still figuring more »

  • 3 Retail Stocks to Buy on Bottom-Line Expansion

    By Masam Abbas - February 20, 2013 | Tickers: DKS, LAD, PAG

    Recently, I have been writing on a few well known names in the hard-line retail industry. My focus has been especially on players in the retail-automobile industry.

    Season Three of the huge PBS hit Downton Abbey premiered on Sunday and its many fans are agog over how the Earl of Grantham managed to lose his American wife Cora's entire fortune on one Canadian railroad stock. Now they may have to sell the Great House and its beautiful gardens. How dreadful! as the Dowager (Maggie Smith) would put it. The begging and handwringing now begins in earnest more »

The big three American car companies have taken flak for receiving government handouts, individually taking private jets to go beg for these handouts, for consistently losing money by crafting designs that insult the tastes of their intended customers. But at a more grassroots level, there's another group of capitalists in the world of cars and trucks -- the auto dealership more »

    By Jonathan Lim - August 15, 2012 | Tickers: ABG, AN, LAD, PAG, SAH

    Cars have caught the American imagination for almost one hundred years, and the auto industry has come a long way from the time Henry Ford quipped that his customers could have the Model T in any color, as long as it was black. Yet in the eye of the buying public, the network of dealerships remains a patchwork quilt of mom-and-pop retailers, even though in many metropolitan areas this is more »

  • A Handful of Stocks Ready to Move

    By Joshua Hayes - January 29, 2012 | Tickers: CFX, HEES, LAD, SWI, TNGO

    In the stock market there is a lot of bad information. This information comes at you in all forms of different media. Do you listen to this information or ignore it? This is what separates the best traders from everyone else. The best traders have learned to ignore everything except the truth. The only truth is price.

    Price is the only fact that matters to a trader. I am a more »
