    By Brian Nichols - May 9, 2013 | Tickers: HIMX, ININ, MELI

    As the markets traded to new all-time highs there were several stocks seeing massive post-earnings pops on Tuesday. In this piece I am looking at these stocks to determine if the move was warranted and if further upside exists.

    By Andrés Cardenal - March 7, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY, MELI

    With the stock rising more than 50% over the last twelve months, eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) has certainly delivered a fantastic year for shareholders. But investing is about the windshield, not the rearview mirror, and the big question is whether this is still a good time to buy eBay or if the best is already over for the company.

  • The Metric Amazon Can't Ignore Forever

    By Jon Quast - January 21, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY, MELI, OSTK, WMT

    Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the undisputed heavyweight of internet marketplaces.  This company is absolutely phenomenal in terms of revenue, website traffic, growth and a variety of other factors.  Amazon is also a living fossil in a way.  They are one of the last companies leftover from the dot.com bubble.  They never folded, and for good reason.  While many dot.com stocks were speculative, Amazon actually sells stuff and makes more »

  • Should Investors Bid on This Company?

    By Ryan Guenette - January 2, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY, MELI, OSTK

    A SWOT analysis is a look at a company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and is a tremendous way to gain a detailed and thorough perspective on a company and its future. As 2012 draws to a close, I would like to look at a leader in the online shopping industry: eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY).

     

    Strengths:

    • Accelerated Revenue Growth: In 2006, eBay reported revenue of $6.0 billion, and in more »

  • High P/E Stocks Worth Buying

    By Adam Levy - December 12, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY, KMI, KMP, MELI

    One of the most commonly used valuation ratios investors use is the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. This multiple tells you how much investors are willing to pay now for each dollar of earnings the company is generating. A company with a high P/E compared to its industry peers is said to be expensive, while a company with a low P/E is said to have value.

  • Back to the Future: eBay and MercadoLibre

    By Matthew Luke - December 5, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY, MELI, WMT, YUM | Editor's Choice

    What if I told you that time-travel was possible? What if I said that I befriended an eccentric scientist driving around in a substantially modified DeLorean? And what if I presented you with the option of traveling back to September of 1998, just as eBay was going public at the split-adjusted price of $0.75? We would find your younger self and tell him or her to invest large sums of money in eBay. We would then return to the present day, check your brokerage account statement and celebrate. Since September 1998, eBay’s share price has risen 67,792%. Just $1,475.10 invested 14 years ago would have made us millionaires today. “Awesome! When do we leave?! Where did I put my wallet?!” would likely be your response to my offer.

  • Growth Stocks Aren't Dead

    By Chris Hodge - December 4, 2012 | Tickers: PVD, AVGO, BP, INVN, MELI

    I don't normally do this, but I've been harping on dividends so much that I'm afraid my comments are going to start boiling down to, "Dude, just buy bonds." I like income, but sometimes I like watching my stocks go up. And not just if they pull a BP (NYSE: BP) and have a big oil spill that causes people to, uh, jump ship as it were more »

  • Making Money Through Borrowed Ideas

    By Adam Levy - November 29, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY, MELI

    I like to do my research before I buy something. When I’m looking to buy something online I usually check Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) for a reference price and reviews, and compare that to the results I get on eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY). Sometimes I’ll even check Craigslist to see if it’s available locally, and maybe even have a chance to test it out in person.

  • Five Stocks Hit Hard by Sellers, But Two Still Offer Something for Buyers

    By Declan Fallon - November 28, 2012 | Tickers: CHK, ISIS, MELI, NTES, SPLK

    It has been just over a month since my last review.  In that post I featured stocks which were existing holdings of mine.  For the record, I added to these positions in November as I took advantage of the 9% drop in the S&P.  Under my investing thesis, the market hadn't reached the level I like to see to add new positions, but that is not to say more »

  • An Internet Retail Trailblazer

    By Ryan Guenette - November 15, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY, MELI

    A SWOT analysis is a look at a company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and is a tremendous way to gain a detailed and thorough perspective on a company and its future. Fresh off an average third quarter earnings report, I would like to pinpoint on the revolutionary online retailer, Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN).    

    Strengths:

    • Fast-Paced Sales Growth: In 2007, Amazon reported sales of $14.84 billion; in 2011 more »

  • Argentina & Greece: Time to Put Your Eggs in Two Basket Cases?

    By Nick Slepko - November 7, 2012 | Tickers: ARGT, GREK, MUX, MELI, TS

    Their politics may be screwed up, but their companies may not be.  Bruno del Ama, CEO of Global X Funds, discusses his firm’s controversial decision to launch ETFs for investors interested in accessing two of the globe’s most maligned markets.  The mismatch between perception and reality may prove promising for risk-lovers.

    Nick Slepko:  Global X appears to have a soft spot for economic basket cases.  In March 2011 more »

  • Latin America is the Land of Opportunity

    By Hans el - November 1, 2012 | Tickers: MELI, PSMT | Editor's Choice

    Latin America is a region that is tremendously undervalued by investors.  Brazil gets plenty of attention as one of the BRIC countries, but the rest continues to float under the radar. 

    I believe that this region is about to embark on an accelerated journey to prosperity.  I do not just believe that because of numbers that I see, or news I read.  It is due to what I have seen more »
