Poll: Labor Day Weekend

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Labor Day is upon us here in the U.S. and it marks the unofficial end of summer. The kids are back in school, the NFL is about to start their season and investors will come back to the markets after their summer break.

When they come back, they will see that the S&P 500 hit the 2000 level and we are in the 4th longest bull run in market history. There seems to be a growing confidence for the market to head higher. What do you think?

Will the market head higher after Labor Day?

Time To Make An Acquisition

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Today I'm going to be analyzing the stock of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (NYSE:KKR). The origins of the company began almost 3 decades ago over dinner at Joe and Rose in 1976. From the outset, the concept of KKR was management buyouts and building partnerships and relationships.

Henry Kravis and George Roberts, the original founders of the company, set the tone for KKR's values and the way it has conducted business for decades. Not only had they already worked together for years, they were also first cousins and lifelong friends. Which, in my opinion, is not a bad thing and helped the partnership grow and prosper.

The private partnership went public on July 15, 2010, and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, KKR.

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. is a private equity investment firm specializing in acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, special situations, growth equity, mature, mezzanine, distressed, and middle market investments.

In today's video, I'll be analyzing the stock of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (NYSE:KKR) and sharing with you a little trick that you may want to employ in your own trading.

I like ISIS - and here's why

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Now, before you get all up in arms and say, "how can you even think about supporting a middle eastern terrorist group?!", let me explain. First of all, I'm not talking about ISIS the Islamic state now known as IS, I will be discussing and analyzing the stock of Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISIS). It is just unfortunate that they happen to have the same name.

Yesterday, there was a major trend change signal in ISIS Pharmaceuticals. This signal indicated that the trend had reversed to the upside and a long position was now warranted. Technically, the stock looks very good and capable of moving another 10% to 15% higher from current levels.

Five Aussie Companies with Cash Flows, Low Costs and MOUs

Posted on by admin

The Mining Report: Australian mining shares had a great July. Was that a one-off or indicative of a trend?

Luke Smith: July tends to be good because the fiscal year-end for most personal investors in Australia is June 30, so there is tax-loss selling up to that date. That said, this July was better than average. The gains slowed down at the end of the month, but we've seen a liftoff again from the middle of August. Hopefully, this trend will continue, and we'll see the revival of Australia's small-resources sector.

TMR: Asian countries such as China and Indonesia are moving toward added-value mining. What implications does that have for Australian mining?

LS: Indonesia is a large supplier globally of tin, nickel and pig iron. The decrease in tin from there is counteracted to some degree by Myanmar becoming a tin producer overnight. The decrease of Indonesian nickel has already been positive for Australian nickel producers and explorers and the nickel price on the London Metals Exchange.

"Syrah Resources Inc. owns the Balama project, which contains close to 1.2 Bt with about 10% total contained graphite."

TMR: Newcrest Mining Ltd. (NCM:ASX), Australia's biggest gold miner, has suffered a lot of bad news lately, including a $2.5 billion ($2.5B) write-down and a class action suit. To what extent do its woes mirror that of Australia's gold industry as a whole? Continue reading "Five Aussie Companies with Cash Flows, Low Costs and MOUs" →

Is Twitch a game changer for Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

If you're not familiar with Twitch, it is a video game playing business that attracts 55 million unique viewers a month. That's enough viewers to put it among the 15 most heavily trafficked websites in the world.

So what exactly is Twitch and why did Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) shell out close to $1 billion to buy this company? Here is my take, young men's eyeballs. Young men are some of the hardest demographics to track for advertisers. The combination of Amazon and Twitch could be a killer combination for Amazon to sell products to this particular demographic.

So how does Twitch make money? The company shares its advertising revenue with people who broadcast over its service. While the audiences for some broadcasters are so small they make little money, on the other side of the coin, some broadcasters are said to earn over six figures a year.
