Trade Alert: Shorting a bookstore
I know that some of you guys acted on my “Bet Against BKS” idea yesterday and are already up huge on the trade. I was perhaps too cautious in my actions yesterday and missed the first $4 of so of the move down in BKS since I nailed the analysis yesterday: “I think we’ll see […]

Trade Alert: Fast Times at Apollo High
Our largest short is down 8% this morning after another disastrous earnings report. The biggest reason for the sell off is this: Revenues declined at the University of Phoenix in the reported quarter due to a 12.2% decrease in degreed enrollment to 355,800 students. New enrollment growth was up only 1% from the prior-year period, […]
Trade Alert: Adding to this storage position
Apple is below $600?! How can that be?! Just kidding. $600 is just an arbitrary number that people got excited about because it ends with two zeros. $615 and $596 is pretty much the same thing — just 2% apart. Divide everything by 100 or by 10 in your mind when you deal with Apple […]
