THE SC FORUMS EDITION 2 SEPTEMBER 2010




 



SC COMMUNITY FORUMS ABUZZ WITH ACTIVITY
It’s THE Place to Be


Is it me, or is it getting crowded in here? Your roving reporter just came from the SC Community Forums, where she bumped into Clark Grain in The Exchange and nearly knocked over Bob Adams's Shirley Temple in Workshops. (That would be why Bob is clutching his glass, white-knuckled, over in the corner, but I digress.)

If you love a good crowd, stop on by the SC stock forums, where the discussion has heated up to near boiling on companies such as Strayer Education, Inc., Gilead, St. Jude, SanDisk, Research in Motion Limited and Google, just to name a few!

Your ever-inquisitive reporter (some prefer to call her nosy) happened by the Strayer Education, Inc. forum, where she found herself in the middle of a discussion between SC Members Robert Hays and Patrick Landers, and came across this golden nugget of information:

"I have owned shares of STRA for a few years and try to keep up with what is influencing the price," Patrick Landers posted on Aug. 28. "I am actually holding and even thinking of selling 1/2 of my shares.

"The company receives about 70 percent of its revenue from the federal government through Title IV loans . . . On August 13, the Department of Education posted repayments from schools receiving Title IV loans, and STRA repayment was only 25 percent. That appears to be the reason the shares have gone down so much.

"The company disputes the figure and has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to find the discrepancy between their internal audits (which found 55 percent repayment) and what the government found."

Stop by the Strayer Education, Inc. forum for the government webpage address regarding Uncle Sam's proposed changes, to download a chart on funds eligibility, and, of course, to join in on the discussion.

While you're in forum mode, check out what's new on these companies:

  • Google (GOOG): Insights into the company's future plans;
  • Research in Motion (RIMM): Manufacturer of the high-end Blackberry could be an outstanding growth stock;
  • Gilead Sciences (GILD): Is it a shot in the dark, or a golden opportunity?

You know what curiosity did to the cat. Don't let that happen to you. A better choice — drop by the SC Forums and quench your thirst for knowledge instead.

On to this week's headlines . . .


NEAR STAMPEDE REPORTED AT RATIO ANALYZER WORKSHOP
Tool's Creator Offered Insights, Fielded Questions

If you missed last week's very popular Ratio Analyzer workshop with the tool's own creator, Stock Guru Bob Adams, you may find yourself out of the loop at the next investor gathering. Bob fielded questions on such topics as Cash Flow Data (Day 4) and the numbers for Inventory and Plant Turnover Ratio (Day 2), while simultaneously revealing his inspiration for creating the tool, and explaining its various components, such as Profitability and Liquidity Ratios. Quite a feat!

But don't despair. In what is but the beauty of the Internet and the online community, you can access the entire five-part series in the SC Workshop Forum, along with the questions attendees posted and of course, Bob's insightful answers.

What's more — you can still post questions for Bob on the Forum and engage in thought-provoking and enlightening discussions with your cohorts. What could be better than that? Your wildly imaginative reporter can't think of anything!
