money flowing out of real estate to stock education Graphic_rating_buy SWIM
Elliott-sized
N/A
This stock has great potential given its financials, low p/e, and high return on equity.  Real estate investors are reeling everywhere and are ending up in investools seminars.  These guys have sold nearly 400,000 people in these seminars and are posting record profits.  They would appear to have a more solid product than competing products out there as well.

Their Customer's I Know are Beasts Graphic_rating_buy SWIM

50%

I have met a handful of their customers.

If your customers are beasts you are an overlord.

The recent drop, profit taking, something to be expected in an a services oriented model.

This is a volatile pick.

As a result of the recent drop a lot of the risk has already passed.

This will probably spike on the up side and offer a chance to take some early profits.

I would leave half the position open after taking the spike in Q3.

Leave the open half of the position for the long term.

real surge in demands on outstanding earning released Graphic_rating_buy SWIM
Bull
N/A

reported 4Q earning of $0.26 and revenue $94.1 mln beats analysts poll of $0.20 and $85.3.

Even investool educational business segment looks soft, the thinkorswim brokerage services business provides prospect for strong growth. As general market sentiment weighted downward, it's hard to expect SWIM price to shoot up to full extend, but advance a couple of $ could be realized in short term. quick entry and exit market may be necessary.

Two Bright Spots in the Economic Darkness!
Tradinggoddess
 5 %

Since there’s all of the bad news being pumped out there daily by the media…I thought it might be refreshing to talk about two of the bright spots that just came over the horizon.

If you are a regular reader of my blog (www.mywealth.com/blog), then you are aware of some of the signs of a strong company (even if you don’t know how to read balance sheets).

One of those signs was to look for companies that feel strongly enough about their own financial situation in this environment that they can purchase another company (at least partly with cash).

<>If you feel, as a com...
