Tesla - Can A Company Be Great And A Great Short? / Companies / Electric Cars
One of the fascinating things about financial bubbles is how they transform great companies into screaming short sale candidates. Put another way, bear markets tend to throw even the prettiest babies out with the bathwater.
Here, for instance, is what happened to Cisco Systems, the dominant maker of networking gear (the devices that run the Internet) when the 1990s tech stock bubble burst, bankrupting many of its customers and causing its earnings to miss expectations. Its stock fell by more than three-fourths and those who had bought it during the previous year’s euphoria got hosed.

Why We’ll See A Wave Of Failed Smart-Beta ETFs In The Next 2–3 Years / Companies / Exchange Traded Funds
BY JARED DILLIAN : My first encounter with a smart beta ETF was a WisdomTree product over ten years ago.
WisdomTree uses index weighting methods other than market capitalization for its ETFs. This one in particular was weighted by earnings or dividends—I can’t remember.

Few Investors Understand The Difference Between A Good And A Bad ETF / Companies / Exchange Traded Funds
BY JARED DILLIAN : There are now about 2,000 ETFs on the market. Many of them are useless.
Some people think we are in an ETF bubble, because of all the stupid ETFs that are coming out. When a fund like WSKY (Spirited Funds/ETFMG Whiskey and Spirits ETF) appears on the scene, it’s safe to assume that the top is probably in.

Trump’s Solar Tariff Confusion Creates An Investing Opportunity / Companies / Solar Energy
The solar sector is reeling from confusion, and stock prices are reeling right along with it. The time it has taken investors and traders to wrap their heads around Trump’s industry tariffs and the pyrrhic victory of two solar companies in a case against cheap Chinese imports has seen stocks rally in a big way, and then fall just as hard.
When the International Trade Court ruled in favor of plaintiffs Suniva and SolarWorld in their case against cheap Chinese solar module and cell imports, reactions were polarized: the U.S. solar industry was outraged—as it had been for most of the duration of the court investigation—and investors, apparently, were extremely upbeat for the future of this same outraged industry, sending solar stocks sky-high.

A Former ETF Head At Lehman Brothers: Here’s How To Choose The Best ETF For You / Companies / Exchange Traded Funds
BY JARED DILLIAN : There is a massive price war going on in ETF-land. Issuers are falling over themselves in the race to the bottom in fees.
Clearly, they’re doing it because it works. For many investors, low fees were the main reason you are invested in ETFs.
I saw some funds the other day that had a .04% expense ratio. That’s four basis points, meaning that if you invest $10,000, you pay $4 in fees.

The Equifax Hack Must Be A Wake-Up Call To Redefine Digital Security / Companies / Cyber Crime
BY GEORGE FRIEDMAN : The Equifax hack must be the last straw in the saga of our inept computer industry. Critical information on the vast majority of American families was compromised.
To say that this was not a rare phenomenon understates it. There has been an endless array of stolen information—from the recent theft of still proprietary stock information from the Commerce Department to the theft of emails from the Democratic National Committee.

Looking For the Next Big Stock? Look at Design / Companies / Investing 2017
When it comes to market analysis, many investors know how to determine value by the numbers. Book value, P/E ratio, yearly revenue - these are all key numbers that value investors use to calculate a company’s intrinsic value. And while these factors are important and more investors should learn to use them, a numbers-first approach to analyzing a company for future growth potential leaves out some important observations. Perhaps most important of these is the company’s visual image, and how easy it is to understand and to use.

Self Employed? Understanding Business Insurance / Companies / SME
Joanna Stovic writes: The number of people choosing to become self-employed is gradually rising.

Here’s Why The Defense Stocks Sector Is The Best Trade Today / Companies / Sector Analysis
BY PATRICK WATSON : September is not unfolding as expected.
Just a few weeks ago, this month was supposed to bring an angry stand-off in Washington and possibly a government shutdown or debt default. Those could still happen, but President Trump’s deal with the Democrats pushed it back to December.
And then we have the threat of nuclear war.

The 3 Best P2P Lending Platforms For Investors In 2017—Detailed Analysis / Companies / Investing 2017
BY STEPHEN MCBRIDE : Peer-to-peer lending (P2P) is a new method of debt financing that allows people to borrow and lend money without a financial institution. Harnessing technology and big data, P2P platforms connect borrowers to investors faster and cheaper than any bank.
P2P lending has grown rapidly in recent years and is a new source of fixed income for investors (download our new special report on investing in P2P loans for more). Compared to stock markets, P2P investments have less volatility and a low correlation. They also offer higher returns than conventional sources of yield.
With interest rates at all-time lows since 2008 and many historically “safe” investments like government bonds offering measly returns, investing in P2P loans in 2017 is a no-brainer.

Could This Be The Biggest Biotech Breakthrough Of The Year? / Companies / BioTech
Someone dies of a stroke every 4 minutes in the United States. Globally, 15 million people suffer a stroke every year. It’s debilitating physically and financially—but one little-known company has developed a medical device that hopes to challenge that deadly statistic.
It’s been quietly developing this new technology for 10 years. Now it’s released updated preliminary clinical trial results, and signed a manufacturing deal which could make a significant impact in the medical device industry.
After a decade of painstaking development, we’re now nearing the end of the long road to validation, and for investors who understand this industry, this could be the critical juncture.

Dueling Technicals on Amazon AMZN / Companies / Amazon
An analysis of Amazon (AMZN)'s charts on Monday identified a near-term potentially bullish formation juxtaposed against a tricky, potentially dangerous intermediate-term set up.
From a near-term perspective, AMZN on its hourly chart appeared to be putting in a "falling wedge"-type pattern (the opposite of a rising wedge), which usually represents a trend-ending formation. In this case, it would be the conclusion of the correction off of the July 27 high at 1083.20 to Monday's low at 942.25.
