When I created Wallstrip , the idea was one show a day about a stock at or near an-all time high and a look at the issues of why it was hot and than you were left to ponder if it could continue. I have owned many of the stocks that we have covered and still do. I will continue to blog about the episodes and provide links and additional information on the stocks.

We now have well over 400 shows and it was time for a new look and a site that gave first time and repeat watchers an ability to roam and catch up.

I think the team has delivered that.

An impressive milestone for Papa John's, and a mouth-watering dream for most Web companies: The pizza chain has hit $1 billion in online sales after seven years of Web-based ordering, the AP reports.

The nation's third-largest pizza delivery chain trumpeted the $1 billion milestone Wednesday, noting that its U.S. online sales have been growing at an average clip of more than 50 percent per year. In 2001, the chain's online sales totaled $20.4 million. Last year, its online sales approached $400 million.

We have 2 late filers tonight in Brazilian homebuilder Gafisa (GFA) and American iron ore producer Cleveland Cliffs (CLF). It looks like they will be reporting later in the evening, but I expect positive things from both - but wish to hear something negative to lead to selloffs in both to build up positions. I really doubt anything of that nature could happen in CLF simply due to its long term iron ore contracts but maybe in GFA.
