The pet trend is alive and well and we have covered it deeply on Wallstrip and my blog. NEOGEN (NEOG) is a stock I still own . We have profiled the company a few times on Wallstrip (see below). Ted Rheingold, founder of Catster and Dogster is a great entreprenuer and wraps in a lot …

No Big Meltdown, But Let's See How we Close
It’s nice to see the markets hold this weekend. Oil has not done us any favors so i don’t expect any huge rally, but I am adding a few stocks as I mentioned. One being WU. Close eye on Apple (which I am short) to see how it participates.
Positive Energy Wanted…NOW
My friend Nick Fenton is having surgery Monday to have a tumor removed from his spine. I am callling on this community’s great vibes for a speedy recovery. Nick was introduced to me by Andy Swan and as Andy says, there is not a more positive guy on the planet. It’s why I immediately called …
Open Letter to Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, Poop, Shmenge, Loogie…Here's What I Want
Last week as Steve William’s (Tiger’s Caddy) filled in the media AFTER the an amazing US Open, I Twittered that I would have loved to have gotten that information while I watched it and not listen to Johnny Miller talk about Tiger’s knee for the 12th straight hour (Johnny Miller needs to go sit with …
Optimist Lindzon says…Western Union (WU) Keeps on Wiring
Shipping stuff costs a lot more money than wiring things and as Federal Express suffers, Western Union (WU) is busting out. The price may be ‘telegraphing’ (no pun intended) more strength ahead. We covered Western Union (founded in 1851) on Wallstrip and I recommended keeping an eye on the Wallstrip worthy IPO, but not buying …
Barron's…More Meaningless than Even Last Week
If you rely on Barron’s to make you money, you live on the upper east side of Manhattan, are over 80, white and are supplying the stories to a lazy, old staff to profit from the headlines on Monday. Absolutely useless. I was buying some raspberries this morning at the neighborhood grocer and looking for …
Finally…A Little Speed and Urgency
Love this comic (Thanks Hans and click to enlarge): Oil won’t drop. China raises prices…Nope. The market launches a Wind ETF (FAN)…nadaroosky on oil. Shanghai is down 50 plus percent…and no fear exists. That can’t last. Citibank could implode any moment. Federal Express is teetering and we are a big preannouncement away from a ‘SWOOSH’ …
Be an Optimist, Not a Putz!
I don’t read too many big picture, economic bloggers. I would have slit my wrists or moved to the mountains years ago (would have died there too as I can’t fend for myself). So I choose to ignore and be an optimist. Eddie is an optimist as well , but has been linking to some …
Momentum is all Around Us…Don't Fight It, Embrace It!
Looking at Tiger Woods, Oil, Sirius, Airlines, Salesforce.com, RIMM, Nintendo and Yahoo today has me thinking about momentum. It’s all around us and a profit miracle for small investors. Yet, small investors have no clue it seems. They watch CNBC, read USA Today and subscribe to trading services for green lights and red light signals. …
I Miss 'The Naked Putz'
Working downtown in Toronto for the summer is a real blast. The city and stock markets here are booming on the backs of RIMM, Encana, Suncor, oil and metals. It’s a party. If I had my buddy Jon Labes and the ok to do Naked Putz, there would some hilarity to film in the streets …
