NFLX (Netflix) Technical Analysis

Jason — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:49:40 +0000

Netflix is another company I’m accumulating stock in for a long term play. Until recently, NFLX was one of those stocks I always wanted to buy into but thought it was overpriced. I waited for a pull back that never came until… all the hoop la last fall.
Assuming subscribers and revenue can grow faster than content costs (not a sure assumption, see SIRI as a counter example), Netflix is going to make some good money and is worth more than 2x Revenue IMO. Buyout possibilities are the icing on the …

MSFT (Microsoft) Technical Analysis

Jason — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:08:45 +0000

I bought a chunk of Microsoft (MSFT) stock at $25. At the time, my thinking was “why does MSFT have a PE below 10″? While a stock like AAPL is priced for perfection (which they keep delivering), at a 10 PE Microsoft was priced for mediocrity… and it’s been treading water it has for the better part of a decade.
We’re now moving toward that $35 level where it’s had trouble in the past. All MSFT needs is a break out product to bust through that level and reach toward its former …

GOOG (Google) Technical Analysis

Jason — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 13:56:44 +0000

Today I’ll show a couple charts for Google (GOOG), which I am accumulating in my retirement account. My strategy with Google is to get as many shares as possible as cheaply as possible. I have some targets where I’d be stupid not to sell, but in general GOOG prices stay fairly valued to my estimates. I buy on the dips.

Above is a 6 month chart. There is support at around $560 and resistance above around $670 and the all time highs. I drew an optimistic support line there on the …

ATVI (Activision Blizzard) Technical Analysis

Jason — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 14:56:41 +0000

I’m going to post some charts of “my book” over the next few days. I may post things from my watch list, and I will try to post updates on these as needed.
First up is Activision Blizzard (ATVI), which I bought last year basically so I could own a piece of Blizzard.
Blizzard is the Pixar of videogames. Everything is a hit. I also think they are pretty smart about how to expand the business of videogames… by encouraging Star Craft as an esport and other things.
So, here is a six …

Trefis Puts Facebook at $74 Billion

Jason — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:29:16 +0000

Trefis provides some great reports that show up in my Etrade account. Their analysis is very thorough. I especially like how they break down different business units and how much of a stock’s share price is tied to each unit.
Trefis values Facebook (based on the limited pre-IPO information they have) at $74 Billion, based largely on their advertising business and growth via a growing user base (from 800 million to 2.6 billion) and increased ad revenues from video and music services Facebook is working on.
Here is the report.

They go into …

Facebook IPO Best and Worst Case Scenarios

Jason — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:54:40 +0000

Facebook released their numbers in preparation for an IPO, showing 2011 revenue of $3.7 Billion and profits of $1 Billion. Speculation is the IPO will be valued as high as $100 Billion.
This would be a P/E of 100. That’s high, but then P/E’s are not as significant an indicator for young companies with a lot of growth potential. So can Facebook grow enough to justify a $100 Billion price tag? I’m not so sure.
The easy justification goes like this:

Facebook has been focused on user growth and they were still growing 100% …

Why I’m a Buyer of Netflix Stock

Jason — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 03:17:24 +0000

Sometimes you look at a stock like Netflix when it was trading at $300+ and think “Here is a great company in a market with super growth, but how can I justify the price?”
Well, it turns out you don’t have to justify the price because the market is beating the shit out of the stock. It’s trading after hours right now at around $86, and who knows where the market will take it.
Hip Egg had the next level of support at around $60, so I would look for the price …

Yes You Should Refinance. But How?

Jason — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 10:00:08 +0000

With mortgage rates dropping like a brick, it’s becoming a no-brainer for us to refinance our home loan. Even though we just got a 30-year loan 2 years ago at 5.875%, we can get 30-year loans now for around 4.5% or lower. You might be in a similar situation.

Rule of Thumb
The rule of thumb I hear thrown around a lot is that if you can drop 1% off your mortgage rate, you should refinance. To get a more precise idea …

What to do when a stock you own is bought out in cash by another company?

Jason — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:06:51 +0000

This is happening to me, with one of my stocks right now: RCRC.
A few months ago, I bought about 50 shares of RC2 Corporation (RCRC), a maker of die-cast and wooden toys, at $20. My wife and I were looking for an investment idea based on the toys and media we’re buying for our 2-year-old son. What I’d really like to do is own Thomas the Tank Engine, but the company owning the license (HIT Entertainment) is privately owned. The best we can do is to buy the companies with contracts on …
