Zecco in Review

2007-07-16T15:38:00Z

One of the most important things a service can do is keep an ear to the proverbial rails for customer feedback. You cannot expect your customers to come right up to your site and give it too you. Many of them have blogs of their own and will simply just write a review of the site...(read more)

2006-12-04T16:18:00Z

Pfizer dropped as much as 20% in early trading after they announced that they would be cancelling the development and testing on one of their key new drugs. Also, several of their bigger profit drugs will be going off patent over the next few years causing profit from those drugs to drop significantly...(read more)

Yahoo blossoming?

2006-11-27T10:20:00Z

Way back in the end of September, I asked Is Yahoo a Buy? and I think I was right. At the time, Yahoo was trading at just under $26.00. Now, Yahoo closed at $28.12 on Friday. If I had bought in to Yahoo at the time in September, I'd have realized a nearly 8% return...(read more)

Dell jumps on excellent profits

2006-11-21T22:45:00Z

An excellent 4th Quarter boosted Dell Inc. up 2.08 at close today. Not really sure why this was good news. Goes to show the lemming like quality of the market sometimes. Dell is a sound company, so why weren't people buying before today? Well, all of a sudden Dell releases some numbers that say they were profitable for the last quarter and they're worth buying...(read more)

MSFT: Time to hop on the bandwagon?

2006-11-20T16:06:00Z

Disclaimer: I am a shareholder in MSFT. On a steady climb since May and trading at above it's 52 week high, is it time to buy into MSFT or should we sell our positions and take our profits. I'm thinking that it's time to buy. MSFT is in a position to really come out ahead this year...(read more)

Sky's the Limit?

2006-11-18T08:05:00Z

The Dow just keep on climbing doesn't it? How high will it go? 12,500? 13,000? 20,000? It's hard to say, but it certainly doesn't seem like it's going to stop anytime soon. The economy is strong and showing signs of getting stronger(recent election notwithstanding)...(read more)

Vonage: High risk, High reward?

2006-11-13T06:20:00Z

Did you miss out on the IPO of Vonage? Lucky you! If you aren't familiar with the IPO, it opened up at over $17 a share and then quickly plummeted and has been hovering somewhere around $6.50 to $7.20. As of the writing of this, it's sitting at $6.64...(read more)

Time to Buy eBay?

2006-10-17T15:03:00Z

eBay is about to announce their results for the third quarter and chances are they haven't moved much since last quarter. The stock is still down on the year and is still slumping. I can't imagine that it will go much lower than $25 unless we get some really unexpected news from them...(read more)

Is Ford a Buy?

2006-10-09T09:25:00Z

I've been watching Ford (F) for a little while now. In the last few days, it's climbed back up over the $8 a share mark but certainly doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast. The company itself might be in a little hot water, but with a new CEO and plenty of cutbacks, they should stay out of Bankruptcy at the very least...(read more)

2006-10-06T21:22:00Z

Beginning October 9, 2006, Zecco will be offering FREE trading. That's right FREE. As in no commission trading. Nope. Nadda. Zilch. Compared to $4.99 a trade at sharebuilder and as low as $6.99 a month at other brokerages, FREE sounds pretty darn good...(read more)

ConAgra increases stock buyback

2006-09-28T20:40:00Z

Food producer, ConAgra( CAG ), announced an increased stock buyback today. The increase of up to $500 million more in stock buybacks brings the total potential buyback to $650 million. This could cause the stock price to rise over the short term as the buybacks happen and they could stay at a rather plateau-like level thereafter...(read more)
