Managing money invested across multiple brokerage accounts is never easy. And a lot of us own and operate multiple accounts. Opening different accounts as and when an opportunity (or need?) comes up. For instance, our 401(k) account takes care of most of the compliance needs. Then there’s an account for other passive instruments and, potentially one more for active – often mostly stock – investments. Some brokers offer better commission
While trying to make sense of all the information out there about a stock you're researching, Analyst Opinion can be tricky to understand. At any given point in time, there are multiple opinions present for the same stock, from different-different analyst firms. What Jefferies rates a "Buy", Nomura may rate a "Strong buy" and Morgan Stanley may rate a "hold" - all on the same day. Individual retail investors are seldom
Nike (NYSE: NKE) is one of the few stocks that's not given great returns over the last one year but this may be a good time to really read into more details of what the long-term prospects of the stock look like. For one thing, Nike is a solid company with a dominant position in an industry that's perhaps going to remain central to the lives of its customers. The other
There are some stocks that just seem to attract natural, organic, attention all the time - like Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google - and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) is one of them. There are so many moving parts to their businesses and so many parameters impacting their growth that there's always something or the other to discuss. We last covered Netflix on 26th April when price of the stock had just
Grand Theft Auto is one of the most popular digital games ever. And you absolutely love the game! But does that mean you should think of investing in the company (NASDAQ: TTWO) that makes it? Hey, why not! Absolutely worth considering at least, right? But most gamers – with no inherent interest in stock investing – don’t even know which stock will actually be impacted by their love for or indifference to
What an interesting last couple of months for The Priceline Group Inc. (NASDAQ: PCLN)! The stock went from $1767 in early April all the way up to $1910 in the beginning of May, and then it fell back to $1796 by 18th May and is now up again at $1893. Usually the thing to watch, when such movements keep happening, is the investor sentiment. And when you look at the
It's been some time coming, but Starbucks (NYSE:SBUX) is now back to its heady $62+ levels. After spending much of 2015-16 in the Fifties, the stock seemed to be plateauing-off in the mid-fifties, but the last 2 months have seen Starbucks Corp. get back from $54.39 to $62.12. The big question on most people's minds, though, is - "is this it"? Or can the rally continue? To be fair, the company has appeared
Walt Disney, in one of his iconic comments, said this about Curiosity: "We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." We recently came upon this list of Best Places To Work For from Glassdoor (which has become, arguably, the most relevant employee feedback and company rating platform we have today) and wondered if these companies are also great investing
Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) has been the Chinese bellwether on American stock markets ever since it went IPO three years ago. For a while after the big-bang IPO, the stock did not do too well, but over the last 15 months or so, the stock has nearly doubled! Especially over the last 6 months, in a very positive tech growth environment where almost every US tech stock has grown tremendously, $BABA investors would
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) has had a phenomenal month-or-so, going from $822.58 on 11th April to $934.30 on 8th May and looking like settling in the high 920s now. We were wondering if we would find any indications from investor interest and Wall Street opinion that such a thing could happen, so we decided to dig - and here's what we found. Google is continuously riding on a bullish sentiment generated by its unbridled
