To be completely honest, I had never heard of GoPro (NASDAQ:GPRO) before today. That’s probably because very few of us who were around when the Beatles took America by storm know anything about GoPro. For SEO purposes, I need to say something about the GoPro share price early in this post. There. I did it. […]

Tesla’s results came in yesterday (05 November) for the third quarter of 2014, and they were electric (excuse the pun). Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares closed at 230.97, but surged to 246.68 just after 10:00 a.m. this morning EST. The share price has tapered a bit since then. It is currently in a holding pattern around the […]

BHP Billiton (LSE:BLT) apparently ascribes to the policy of “Don’t ask for permission. Ask for forgiveness.” Reasonble certain that their legal department has found a loophole in a long-standing ban on export of U.S. crude oil, the Anglo-Australian energy giant has set in process a plan to act without permission. That could be risky business. […]

Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) issued its first quarterly report since its mid-September IPO today.  Its share price increased by 4.19% to 106.07 from yesterday’s close of 101.80. The financial statement was one of those that can be reported at the polar opposites of positive or negative, depending on which aspect one prefers to tout. Investors are still […]

Both MasterCard (NYSE:MA) and Visa (NYSE:V), the world’s largest processor of debit and credit card payments, released their quarterly earnings reports in the last 48 hours. I was tempted to write about Visa as its shares tried to carry the load on Wall Street on the same day as the Federal Reserve posted its latest, […]

U.S. markets took a downturn today following the release of its monthly monetary policy review findings and actions. The S&P 500 dropped off by 0.14% to 1,982.30. The Dow closed at 16,974.31, down .18%. The Nasdaq took the biggest hit at 4,549.23, down 0.33%. Today’s report was not the end of the world as some […]

After a week of whispering and wondering, it’s a “thumbs up” for Facebook’s third quarter results (NASDAQ:FB) which were released just after the Nasdaq closed today, exceeding Wall Street expectations and the company’s own projections in every area. The irony is that Facebook’s share price is trending lower in after-hours trading. Shares in Facebook have...

Allergan’s share price (NYSE:AGN) opened slightly higher today following the release of its third quarter results for the period ending 30 September. Shares closed on Friday at $184.21, opening this morning at $186.80, which, so far, has been its high point for the day. This may be more due to the takeover bid from Valeant […]

African Barrick Gold (LSE:ABG) released its unaudited results for the third quarter yesterday. Its share price rose from 195.00 to 200.00 on some impressive results. Typically, we (writers) rush to post the same headlines and stories that everyone else is writing. I have been thinking lately that waiting a day or two offers a slightly […]

Given some of the travails of this past year that GlaxoSmithKline (LSE:GSK) and its share price have suffered (down 13% in 2014), board members have likely been longing to have a day when they could hum along with Curly McLain in the cast of the Rogers and Hammerstein musical “Oklahoma” as he sings, “Oh, what a […]
