Gym Stock Is Dirt Cheap Right Now
One of my favorite companies is currently on sale. Planet Fitness (ticker: PLNT), the discount gym, has had a horrendous 2026. Just look at its price chart. Since the start of the year, Planet Fitness’s stock price has cratered over 60%. Now, I love Planet Fitness. I used to go all the time. The gym […]
Major US Company Doesn’t Know What It’s Doing
Sometimes it seems company management, despite getting paid millions of dollars each year, doesn’t know what it’s doing. McDonald’s (ticker: MCD) stock price performance has been horrible in 2026. Its stock price is down over 20% in 2026. And it has fallen almost 30% since McDonald’s reached an all-time high at the end of February. […]
The Fed Sends Stocks Tumbling Again
I’m getting a sense of déjà vu in the stock market. In early August, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) kept interest rates steady. However, the Fed chairman, Kevin Warsh, raised the possibility of hiking rates in the September meeting. Stocks crashed in early August on the news. Well, the Fed just met, and investors’ fears […]
Household Name Enters Wireless Carrier Market
The US wireless carrier market is controlled by three major players: Verizon (ticker: VZ), AT&T (ticker: T), and T-Mobile (ticker: TMUS). Each company has about 30% to 35% market share, so no single company is dominating the others. But one major company is looking to throw its hat into the ring. Last month, SpaceX (ticker: […]
A COVID-Darling Retailer Has Never Been Cheaper
One of the most popular brands during COVID has had a rough time. Its stock price is down almost 80% from its peak in 2024! The company is Lululemon Athletica Inc. (ticker: LULU), a popular athletic apparel retailer. The stock price chart is pretty wild. When people were working out at home during COVID, the […]
Top Software Company Is Too Cheap To Pass Up
The software industry has had a rough time in the stock market recently. Software stocks are down due to fears of artificial intelligence (AI) stealing their business. But AI might be overhyped, and one software company is a major deal right now. Intuit (ticker: INTU) isn’t a household name, but its products are. Intuit builds […]
Market Leader In Veterinary Services At A Rare Discount
I had never heard of the following company until last week. I stumbled across it while writing the last article on all-time highs. During my research, IDEXX Laboratories (ticker: IDXX) popped up. In particular, its incredible 25% profit margin jumped out at me. IDEXX manufactures and sells pet and livestock diagnostic tests and equipment, though […]
Stocks Reach New All-Time Highs
It’s been an incredible few weeks for stock market investors. A few weeks ago, the stock market dipped based on concerns the Fed would raise interest rates. But the sell-off seems more like a hiccup. Interest rate worries are in the rearview mirror. And the stock market is hitting all-time highs. Last week, the S&P […]
A Great Stock For Back-To-School Season
I just dropped my kids off for their first day back at school. Many parents are doing the same. Back-to-school shopping is always an adventure. But I started thinking about whether any of these companies trade on the stock market. And one really jumped out at me. There’s no company more tied to education and […]
The Fed Crashes The Stock Market!
Interest rates are back on everyone’s mind. The Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) met last Wednesday to discuss what to do with interest rates. It was a very important meeting because the Fed has a new chairman. Kevin Warsh replaced Jerome Powell at the end of May, and last week’s Fed decision was the first […]
