Quick Thought on Blu-Ray

TeenStockPicker — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:43:58 GMT

While recently debating the viability of Coinstar as a long-term option a thought occured to me. Even though the sales of DVD's are down, Blu-Ray sales are continuing to grow. This is significant because you cannot stream blu-ray. So even the DVD sales might be down, blu-ray players and sales continue to grow. A bit of a comfort for Coinstar and the kiosks. Looking at Coinstars 4th quarter earnings this is evident ...

Will Pandora Ever Suceed?

TeenStockPicker — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 17:49:45 GMT

I love listening to Panodra (Nasdaq: P), Today's Country Radio is my jam and I have logged countless hours listening to it. The bigger question is will the company succeed? Personally I can't see it happening along with the CAPS community who has given it a paltry one star rating. Here are my 3 biggest reasons why.

(Updated) Growth Still Possible at Starbucks

TeenStockPicker — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:31:25 GMT

Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) had an up ($62.00) and down ($43.04) year but currently resides in the higher end of that range. Not exactly a bargain price but I do believe there still is a profit to be made. Starbucks also sports a solid and recently steady profit margin of around 10%. What excites me about Starbucks is their growth in China and adaptation into the Chinese culture....

What a Start to 2013 Zipcar!

TeenStockPicker — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 10:29:53 GMT

Today Zipcar was bought out by Avis rocketing the share price to $12.20, as a shareowner I for one am pretty estatic. You always dream of owning a stock that gets bought out, and to own one is pretty special. I think Avis felt it was a great time to buy and wanted to make sure Zipcar didn't experience any more positive pops before taking over.

Some may be a bit disapointed that they will not be ab...

Opportunity over at Coinstar?

TeenStockPicker — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 12:04:18 GMT

Redbox (a subsidary of Coinstar (CSTR)) recently announced that they will be coming out with a Disc + Digital Service with Verizon called Redbox Instant. $8 a month gets customers unlimited streaming of movies through EPIX and 4 rentals at Redbox Kiosks, I find the connection with EPIX to be very attractive as that connects them to Paramont Pictures and Lionsgate (Mission Impossible, Hunger Games

Looking Past a Big Dividend and Mistakes

TeenStockPicker — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 12:48:50 GMT

Today I'm going to compare two completely different stocks Deere & Co (DE) and Nordic American Tanker (NAT). I bought both of these stocks about 3 years ago as my first endeavor into the market (Both Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIP) Plans). Deere has done marvelously tripling my investment, Nordic on the other has gone in the opposite direction with about 2/3 of that investment gone. On the bright side I am in the green ...

Starbucks has had an up ($62.00) and down ($43.04) year but currently resides right in the middle at $53.36. Not exaclty a bargin price but I do believe there is a profit still to be made. Starbucks also sports a solid and recently steady profit margin of around 10%. What excites me about Starbucks is there growth in China and adaptation into the Chinese culture.

My Case for Chipotle

TeenStockPicker — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 20:43:09 GMT

Chipotle has taken a beating in 2012, smashed down by lower than expected earnings, future earnings estimates, and the talk of competition with Taco Bell and raising their prices.
First off my views on the earnings reports of 2012. Chipotle met the consensus of the 26 analysts following the comapny in both the 1st and 3rd quarter reports and exceeded them for the 2nd quarter! Why would they ...
