  • Billionaire Activist Zeroes in on Sony

    By Marshall Hargrave - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: BBRY, SNE, ERIC | Editor's Choice

    Sony (ADR) (NYSE: SNE) has been a perennial under-performer since the dot-com bubble burst in 2000. The stock peaked in 2000 at around $156 a share and has been a terrible investment for investors ever since. The collapse and similarities I see in the chart reminds me of the BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY) collapse in 2008.

    In many ways I ask myself how did this company miss so many technological changes more »

    Out of all investment styles, income investment is one of the most popular, and there are good reasons for its popularity. Income investment focuses on stocks with high dividends.

  • This Tech Company Has A Safety Net

    By Nihar Patel - December 22, 2012 | Tickers: ALU, CSCO, ERIC

    A company going bankrupt is one of the worst things that could happen for holders of its stock. Those shareholders essentially get wiped out. The fear of bankruptcy puts a lot of downward pressure on a stock. Additionally, even if people think the company has the chance to turn itself around, the fear of running out of money before a turnaround can be enacted is a substantial one.
