HSY   Hershey's Marketing Efforts Unlikely to Help Stock Over Short-Term 06/23/08   —  6/18 - "This double-digit jump in marketing is a smart move, but it won't be easy to digest. With the aforementioned inflationary pressures on the rise, Hershey is going to be sufficiently challenged to push growth while balancing the upward trends in input costs.

DELL   Dell Had a Decent Quarter, But Better PC Opportunities Exist 05/30/08   —  5/30 - "One thing I liked about the quarter was that operational cash flow was much healthier this time around.

Graphic_rating_buy ATVI   Graphic_rating_buy ERTS   Currently Invested in Activision, But EA Merits Consideration 05/15/08   —  5/14 - "EA was forecast to only break-even on a non-GAAP basis, so the difference was a nice $0.09. In terms of operational cash flow, EA increased the metric by 33% during the fourth quarter, but for the full year, operational cash flow decreased 15%. Ah, such is life, I guess. Nevertheless, EA prod...

Hey, I know of what I speak -- I own CapitalSource (NYSE: CSE), Newcastle Investment (NYSE: NCT) and MFA Mortgage (NYSE: MFA) in my portfolio.

Graphic_rating_sell NFLX   Not buying Netflix for now 03/26/08   —  I like to check out stocks that are at or near a 52-week high in a tough market. Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) is one of them. Not only is the stock near a 52-week high right now, but it is up today almost 3% by nearly a buck.

BGP   BKS   Borders enters into its strategic review phase 03/25/08   —  Borders Group, Inc. (NYSE: BGP), the arch-rival of bookseller Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS), is struggling mightily.
