• Insiders Are Buying These Stocks Right Now

  By Meena Krishnamsetty - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: LOGI, NEM, NS, PM, BA

  Economic theory suggests that it is rational to diversify one’s wealth, and one application of this theory is that company insiders should not buy their employer's stock unless the expected gains are high enough and there's enough confidence to offset this incentive. Studies show a small amount of outperformance by stocks bought by insiders. We provide brief coverage of insider purchases so that investors can decide whether more »

• Must-Watch: 8 Under-Rated, Oversold Short Squeeze Candidates

  By Eben Esterhuizen - May 1, 2013 | Tickers: AFAM, CETV, LOGI, SPPI

  Behavioral finance studies have shown that investors tend to over-react to the most recent events. In other words, they overweight the the importance of recent information.

  This means that stock prices may drop below fair value during extended periods of negative news, or rise above fair value during longer-than-normal periods of positive news.

  Contextuall.com is built on this idea. We try to identify cases of extremely one-sided media sentiment more »

• Logitech Results Highlight PC Hardware Weakness

  By Daniel James - January 29, 2013 | Tickers: DELL, LOGI

  With earnings season upon us, the tech sector is once again a fascinating battle-ground. Tech earnings have been a bit of a mixed bag this time round, with blowout earnings from Google but disappointing results from Apple. Logitech (NASDAQ: LOGI) however bombed out big-time with a sizable loss for Q3 2013, which highlights weakness across the board for PC hardware manufacturers which is largely due to the rise of mobile more »

• A Week to Forget for these Hedge Funds

  By Meena Krishnamsetty - November 1, 2012 | Tickers: BBY, CAB, CLF, LOGI, NYT

  We have identified five stocks that had an absolutely horrible time last week. Assuming the funds we track have not changed their holdings since the end of June, there were key funds that lost big money on these price drops. The first company on our list is The New York Times (NYSE: NYT). The company was down almost 22% last Thursday—around $2.30—on news of an 85% drop more »

• Computer Peripherals and Less Interesting Components

  By Nihar Patel - October 24, 2012 | Tickers: LOGI, STX

  I just underwent a pretty massive upgrade to my computer. Other than the processor and the chip on my graphics card, all the other components were from companies that command less interest than Intel or Nvidia. Many of the components were supplied by private companies, but a few were public. A few others were only on foreign exchanges.

• Apple's Ecosystem is MORE than Digital Media

  By Marc Vigod - October 24, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, LOGI

  When it comes to Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) ecosystem, most pundits and analysts are referring strictly to iTunes.  iTunes sells music, apps, movies, tv shows and books, and while this is obviously a big part of Apple's ecosystem, there is much more to it that sits well outside the digital realm.

  What am I referring to?  3rd party accessories.  Yes, these accessories come in all shapes and sizes.   iPhone more »

• How to Check for Smart Stock Buybacks

  By Ser Jing Chong - October 4, 2012 | Tickers: ATVI, COH, LOGI, NFLX, PNRA |

  Stock buybacks are often touted by management as a way to return value to stockholders. The basic idea is that the buybacks will enhance stock-specific value for stockholders such as Earnings Per Share. By owning a larger piece of the existing company, stockholders are entitled to a larger slice of the company’s profits.

  However, stock buybacks can destroy value for stockholders if management does not engage in them with more »

• 4 Stocks Insiders are Buying this Week

  By Meena Krishnamsetty - August 12, 2012 | Tickers: DAL, LOGI, DGX, WWD

  Company insiders often have a better perspective of the company’s future performance than outside investors do.  Furthermore, they have an incentive to diversify their investments away from their employer so that negative company-specific events don’t result in a hit to both their income and to their wealth. So when an insider buys a stock, it should be evidence that the company has good times ahead- and statistically this more »

• Why Companies are Cutting Back on Spending in This Tech Sector

  By Lee Samaha - August 6, 2012 | Tickers: CSCO, LOGI, MSFT, PLCM

  In recent months the markets have been selling off enterprise technology stocks as if we were about to enter a dark age of Luddite supremacy where we end up turning to the Amish for advice in how to live in this brave new world. Fortunately, it doesn’t work like that.

  However, in a slowdown corporations will change their IT spending habits. They will focus on maintenance spending or critical more »

• The 'Post-PC' Carnage Continues

  By Demitri Kalogeropoulos - June 6, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, DELL, DLB, HPQ, LOGI |

  The quick rise of tablets has given a range of tech companies a bogeyman to blame while announcing soft sales numbers lately. At times this earnings season it seemed that everyone, from PC manufacturers like Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) to peripheral providers like Logitech (NASDAQ: LOGI) and even sound expert Dolby (NYSE: DLB), were nodding in the direction of the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPad when investors asked what's behind the more »

• More Digging Through the Remains of Earnings Season

  By Matthew DiLallo - May 14, 2012 | Tickers: CSCO, EBAY, LOGI, MELI, PLCM

  With earnings season starting to wind down I’ve been sifting through the rubble of companies that saw their stock prices crushed in the wake of their reported earnings.  There are times that the market is being too short sighted and missing the potential that lies ahead.  I, on the other hand, tend to look to hold stocks for years and if a company I would like to own more more »

• Why Can’t I Just Buy Apple?

  By Matthew DiLallo - February 27, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, LOGI, MSFT

  A couple of weeks ago I was in a networking meeting and this question was posed to the group: What day in your life would you like to do over.  Given their recent blow out quarter and catapulting stock price, I stated I wanted to redo the day I sold my Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) shares at $100 pocketing a quick $10 gain to buy the new iPod Touch I really more »
