Today there was a 21% raise after last week's gigantic spike. Is there a possible aftershock coming?
P.s. I'm pretty new to trading...explanations will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi guys, hopefully this isn't breaking any rules here but I thought I'd post anyway. As a Canadian day trader/investor, it's pretty hard to find a decent app that can track your portfolio. There are very few apps that will let you track the TSX, and aside from Yahoo Finance they're all pretty much unusable. So, together with a friend of mine, I've been working on a simple app (with beautiful UI) that will do just that. The reason I am here is to see if any of you would be interested in such a platform. Here is the overview of features that are planned for the first release: Input your holdings (price paid, number of shares, date) Or import your trades from Questrade as you make them Sort your holdings into different categories (support for multiple portfolios) Market data for the most popular exchanges Quick overview of your portfolio (daily/total gain/loss in both % and $) Graph your profits and losses over time Tap a stock to see all relevant market info Custom watchlists Push notifications when a starred stock on your watch list hits a certain price point (user customizable) Keep an eye out on S&P, DOW, NASDAQ as a whole We will be using the Questrade API, and currently working to become an official partner app sometime in the future. So, that's the short of it. Let me know if there is any interest, or if you guys would like to see any other feature added before its release. Happy trading!
So I bought in on MACK at $5.00 right as a lot of good news regarding their drug Onivyde was popping up. A week or so later it topped off at around 6.80 and has been decreasing steadily for about a week now to its current ~$5.80. It was just upgraded last night by the vetr crowd from a sell (2) to a strong buy (5) yet it continued to fall today. It's right on the cusp of the limit I wanted to get out at, but I originally intended to long it to ~$10.00 based off of its previous high. Only good news has come out about them in the past few weeks, but I'm just wondering if this can simply be chalked up to the classic pharma volatility or if there's something I'm not hearing about.
I've been trading a couple of years and I've managed to beat the total stock market index (in various flavors mostly starting with a V) by sector trading and what you'd call macro, with some dabbleing in options for risky picks and income lately. I haven't done tremendously well, but I do well enough to justify continuing.
What I'm having trouble with is identifying good stocks to trade. That is screening stocks. I'm wondering if anyone here who does this better than I do could give me some pointers on creating effective stock screens/identifying opportunities? What stock screens do you use?
Anyway, I mostly use TDAmeritrade and Vanguard (V for long-term stuff, TDA for risk money), but am willing to use other web-based tools to create stock screeners.
All I know about options is that tmit is basically making a contract with the company. I dont know the lingo, or how you would purchase an option. Please help me wrap my head around this.
This is the most amazing little stock. The company has a tiger by the tail. It has been green lighted for Phase III Clinical Trials for their kidney (more specifically Lupus Nephritis) drug Voclosporin which has, so far, demonstrated complete remission in an amazing percentages of cases.
The stock has been wrongfully punished due to some predictable deaths in phase II trials. Surprise, kidney disease kills people... ಠ_ಠ ...
At any rate, the stock is at a waaaaay undervalued 2.90 ... Check it out.
I've started researching stock market investing. I was just wondering if there is anything that you can't learn from books or research? Your experiences. Good and bad.
Can someone please explain to me how the Sequoia Fund fell 8% yesterday? It does not make sense a mutual fund could fall so much in a single day.
For the life of me I can't figure out why. I'm not complaining, mind you, I did my DD and bought it for the potential of the technology some weeks ago, but I can't find a good reason for it to be spiking today...

Entering short is possible from 6850 resistance area or after hourly close below red trendline at S2 level 6800. The following support zones for the index are 6770 and 6740 (as described in 4H chart). Once FTSE 100 -0.47% falls below 6740, we'll have extra short potential down to 6660.

Hello, I'm new to stock trading and haven't even made my first trade yet. Apparently there are many scams going around and I have no idea who to trust which is why I'm here. Can someone lead me in the right direction to start trading. I'd like to start with something that is a little more user friendly if that's possible. Thanks!
Just wondering would any traders here be interested in a mobile app that allows you to input your trades and what type of trade it was and then be able to track your performance. Also there'd be a feature that allows you to compare your performance depending on the type of trade. For example a breakout long vs a breakdown short. In addition, there'd be a calculator that tells you how many shares to buy/short depending on your risk and stop.
Right now I'm looking for a low cost stock, that has a decent Dividend Yield, so I can continuously purchase more shares over time. Planning on doing DRIP aswell until I have a good chunk of shares.
I have some money in mutual funds, and some shares in larger companies.
I'm just looking for a low cost stock option, that I can toss $50- $100 towards once or twice a month.
Thanks in Advance!
I'm 22 years old, fit, daily excersize, healthy diet, but I don't work. I get food stamps, collect SSI and I'm yearning to be a big shot so I've come to the stock market for some help. Now, to make some perspective clear, I'm starting off with very small gains of 5%, 8% maybe per a stock. I see myself as being fairly intelligent and having so much unused time on my hands I could probably make the stock market work well for me. I get SSI and food stamps- my check is 733 but after my rent and cost of living my remaining cash on hand is 180- thats why 5-10% gains on low-cost stocks are good for me. My plan is to invest 20-30 a month, and if someone on craigs list responds to my ad for under the table landscaping, I'll take $5 of every $10 I make and invest it into stocks as well which means hundreds invested in stocks every month.
The way I see it, theres a few trends that I can positively say will certainly give me a return on my investment. This is something that can make me use my brain, understand how all this civilization works- pick up a magazine at win-dixie and scroll through, see what companies and what names keep popping up in the magazines over a period of months- do online research and see the worth of their stocks. Judge and weigh according to my understanding.
I love history and psychology and to me this is sort of a path to making it a field of expertise. So to those experienced stock holders, I've already opened my account with Tradescott and on check day I'm running to their office and I want a detailed in-depth sit-down with these stockholder firm people and hopefully find the right council for this.
The dollar having a huge run with the S&P 500 skyrocketing right after Trump's election?

No OTC or foreign companies.
No options, futures, forex, etc. Equities only.
If you don't post both a ticker AND a direction (long/short) I can't analyze it
If you see one you want analyzed already posted, upvote it.
If you miss the thread but still want a ticker analyzed, look for the YouTube link and post your idea in the YouTube comments. I'll respond there via text!
I'll do the top 10 most upvoted or the 10 most common that follow all the rules. If there are ties I'll do them based on who posted the earliest.
I'll edit the post and post the video at the top in bold after I let the thread run for a while and collect tickers!

I've been working on a project about the psychology of the stock market. I'm looking at the behavior of different investors in the market. Each investor has his unique ideas about what makes a stock a good stock, but I'm looking more towards trends among similar investors and if there are any relationships to be found.
What things do you look for when buying stocks? What makes you sell? What keeps you from holding, buying, selling?
All help is greatly appreciated! Leave a short description on how you manage your portfolio if you want to help....Discuss with others.

Good morning traders,
I trust you are all enjoying your time off, whilst I have some time I decided to do another eur/$ chart, as most of you already know my incredible bearish outlook on the pair still stands;
The bearish break looks similar to that found in August 2015 suggesting a move toward the trend lows at 1.052xx
The ECB appears to be on hold for now putting further focus on a fiscal response to support growth. If they do ease further then the ECB will find it increasingly difficult to weaken their currency so all eyes are on the fed ahead of FOMC on wednesday. The risk to this trade is the FED sounding more dovish and thus weakening the USD and the chances of further hikes in 2017.
Your support by liking and commenting is much appreciated!

Rumor has it that TKL is no longer going to be a free newsletter. Will current members still have the service for free? I made so much money off this site.
I entered a new trade on Tuesday of long SPX 2000 Jan 20 2017 puts at 6.20.
I have a couple reasons for doing this:
record highs on thin volume and terrible breadth don't look good.
I think it's likely that the Fed will take high market prices as blessing the implied rate hike in December. This is the same story as December 2015. If that happens, I expect a similar market drop as in January 2016.
I think a minor black swan event is possible if Yellen decides to stick it to Trump and raise rates by 50 bps or greater. I don't think this is likely, but there I rate the possibility as more than zero. Maybe 3% probability. If it happens, the market will see a big move to the downside.
I think it's also possible we will see a buy-the-rumor-sell-the-fact on Trump's inauguration. If that happens we'll see selling into inauguration day (Jan 20).
Stop loss is 3.20
Leg 1 profit taking is 9.20, and trailing stops from there on.
Normally I sell short-dated options and ride theta decay, but with market where it is I figured some speculation on delta and gamma were worth it.
What stocks do except to do exceptional and are a must to buy.
I've always wanted to buy this stock, I believe water is going to be the 'hot commodity' of the future. I have feeling it's going to bounce back from this slump, but I have no clue when. In addition to the new president elect, given that Nestle is a SWISS company, what are some of the possibilities for how it will do business with the United States. What do y'all think? Thanks in advance!
The major stock indexes closed at record highs on Tuesday as the rally in stocks continued. Sentiments remain bullish as the Donald Trump administration takes shape and Trump’s plans for the first 100 days in office were made public. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) crossed the psychological barrier of 19,000 for the first time. The Dow Jones gained about 67 points and closed at 19,023.87.

Momentum to the downside seem to have slowed with the RSI making a higher low and the price making short term lower lows. Price currently away from the volume peak price of 333.00 and could return to test close to that level. The 316.01 level could also be a slight sticking point but we must be aware that the company are reporting FY earnings on Monday so they may be some positioning ahead of this event. The Support and Resistance levels are marked by the price labels on the chart.

Are Canadian stocks that are traded in the USA "the same" - i.e: Are they linked in any way price-wise. If the CAN version of the stock goes on a run does the US equivalent do "exactly the same" or can the CAN stock run-away in a +/- manner and the US stock do a completely different thing?
Example: MT:CVE & MQTRF

What's the likelihood that they'll actually freeze production?The current rally doesn't make sense to me.
1) Saudi issuing sovereign debt for cash flow, so what do they care. Why would they give up market share?
2) USD at 12 year high, so today's bbl is actually worth more than $50 based on USD pre-Trump.
3) Iran is nowhere near pre sanction output levels and will continue to fight with saudi for European market share.
4) high usd means more rubles for Russia to finance fiscal responsibilities. Therefore prices/bbl don't need to be that high to finance same levels of gov spending.
5) breakevens are ~50$ or less for US shale. With trump in power, I'm sure the conditions will be there for breakevens to decrease even further. Rig counts are guaranteed to jump when prices go up.
Am I underestimating the fiscal strain experienced by petrocountries? Regardless, the price ceiling is us shale breakeven costs due to being the swing producer and the binary ON/OFF nature of shale rigs.
Am I wrong?
RBC is up like 10% in two weeks. Why is it rising so fast?
If Trump tears up the Iran deal and gets the US a good relationship with Russia it seems like oil will go back up due to a sudden decrease in crude oil. Does anyone else share similar thoughts? Or am I speaking out of my ass on this one.

10 Year LT Trend VERY Important Inflection Point is occurring right now. This Trendline goes back to the 80's.
And if you don't care about TA. Look at this trendline and tell me it has not mattered.
Foot Locker — The athletic apparel and footwear retailer earned an adjusted $1.13 per share for the third quarter, three cents a share above estimates. Revenue was in line with forecasts, but its same-store sales increase of 4.7 percent was slightly shy of the consensus forecast for a 4.9 percent increase.
Abercrombie & Fitch — The apparel retailer fell well short of estimates on both the top and bottom lines for its latest quarter, with same-store sales falling more than expected. The company pointed to weak traffic, poor performance in seasonal categories, and the overall challenges of the company's rebranding effort.
The Buckle — The accessories retailer came in four cents a share short of estimates, with quarterly profit of 48 cents per share. Revenue also came up short and same-store sales dropped more than expected.
Hibbett Sports — Hibbett reported quarterly profit of 66 cents per share, compared to estimates of 74 cents a share. Revenue matched estimates for the sporting goods retailer, but same-store sales increased slightly less than consensus forecasts.
American Airlines Group — Citi named American as its top pick in the airline industry, citing post-merger efficiency opportunities stemming from its American's combination with US Airways. Other buy-rated airline stocks in Citi's latest report are Delta, Southwest, and Allegiant.
Papa John's — KeyBanc downgraded the pizza chain to "sector weight" from "overweight," in what it terms a valuation call after the stock reached the firm's price target.
Wells Fargo — BMO downgraded the bank's stock to "underperform" from "market perform," following a 15 percent move since the presidential election. BMO said it is concerned that the price no longer reflects uncertainty stemming from after-effects of the company's sales practices issues.
UPS — BMO rates the delivery company's stock as "outperform" in new coverage, calling it a "premier franchise" with a strong track record of execution and strong growth prospects.
Salesforce.com — Salesforce reported adjusted quarterly profit of 24 cents per share, three cents a share above estimates. The business software company also issued an upbeat forecast and said it would reach $10 billion in annual revenue by 2018.
Tesla, SolarCity — Shareholders of both companies have approved the proposed combination of the two Elon Musk-controlled companies. The acquisition of the solar company by the automaker is a stock swap deal worth about $2 billion.
Gap — Gap matched estimates with adjusted quarterly profit of 60 cents per share, but the apparel retailer registered its seventh straight quarter of declining sales. Gap said that customer traffic levels continue to be a challenge.
Ross Stores — Ross beat estimates by six cents a share, with quarterly profit of 62 cents per share. The discount retailer's revenue also exceeded Street forecasts. Ross also reported same-store sales increased by seven percent, well above estimates, but gave cautious current-quarter guidance amid what it calls a "very promotional" environment.
Williams-Sonoma — Williams-Sonoma reported adjusted quarterly profit of 79 cents per share, two cents a share above estimates. Revenue for the home goods retailer was essentially in line with forecasts, however the company gave lower-than-expected guidance for the current quarter, calling the sales environment "less certain."
Yum Brands — Yum added $2 billion to its stock buyback program, with the restaurant operator planning to complete purchases of that amount by the end of 2017.
Nike — The athletic apparel and footwear maker raised its quarterly dividend to 18 cents per share from 16 cents a share.
Applied Materials — Applied Materials edged estimates by a penny a share, with adjusted quarterly profit of 66 cents per share. The semiconductor manufacturing equipment maker's revenue essentially in line. The company did issue lower-than-expected guidance for both earnings and revenue, amid slower growth in new orders.
Intuit — Intuit doubled estimates with adjusted quarterly profit of six cents per share, while the financial software company's revenue also beat forecasts. Its current-quarter guidance is above estimates, while its full-year forecast is roughly in line.
Marvell Technology — Marvell reported adjusted quarterly profit of 20 cents per share, eight cents a share above estimates The chip maker's revenue was also well above forecasts. Its performance was driven by strong growth in both its data storage and network equipment businesses. Marvell also announced a stock buyback program of up to $1 billion.
Sotheby's — Sotheby's saw $277 million in sales in Thursday's contemporary art auction, higher than its forecast of $208.5 million.
Amazon.com — The company is rolling out its Amazon Video service globally to 200 more countries in what's seen as a challenge to Netflix, according to The Wall Street Journal. Currently, Amazon Video is only available in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Austria, and Japan.
Coca-Cola — The beverage giant struck a deal to sell its stakes in China bottling operations for about $1 billion.
Monsanto — The chemical maker and Germany's Bayer have already kicked off talks to sell assets that would help the two companies win European approval of their proposed combination, according to reports.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to work out what the point of buying stocks is.
When a company issues new shares, it receives money for them. It can use this money to invest in itself. But after the company sells these shares, any change in the price of the shares would have no change on how much money the company has.
Similarly, regardless of whether or not a company is performing well, the price of its shares can go up or down depending on market forces. I understand that market forces tend to track a company's profits (i.e. the higher a company's profits, the higher its share price), but WHY?
How does buying shares allow you to share in the future profits of a company? Assuming that a company doesn't pay dividends, the only way you can see a positive return is if you sell your shares at an increased price. But what does this have to do with a company's profits?
I know this is probably really dumb but I must be missing something!
Thank you!
Back in the day they used to print closing prices, volume, daily high and low, for every stock in NASDAQ and Dow Jones along with a section on options. Is there any place I can download this data daily? I googled and googled and all it returns are sites selling software and sites that allow me to query sets of stocks. That doesn't work. I need what used to be printed in the newspaper but in some kind of electronic format. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Hey guys, I am essentially wondering how to calculate R Squared for a portfolio in excel. Obviously actually doing that isn't hard, but what I can't seem to figure out is the variables. In terms of the portfolio and calculating everything, what am I making my x's and y's? I assume once I have those I just follow through as though you would calculate R squared with normal data points. For the benchmark I would be using the S&P (I realize I could use ETFs to model it, but its for a competition and you can't use them) Any help would be great. Thanks!
I've always been interested in the stock market and now that I can finally buy them- what are some tips on getting started? What websites/ companies to use and trust? And anything else you can think of would be very helpful!

Medical marijuana stocks??
Sorry if this has been asked before. It just came to me. When someone was taking about the stock market.
It is semi-legal way to influence the price the your stock. When other people start buying, you sell at profit. It's a scam but somehow people still get away with it.
A few months ago I wrote a long article about Gilead that he wanted to title “Gilead: Buy Hepatitis C, Get AIDS for free”. Today I want to flip that title backwards and call it “Gilead, Buy HIV, Get Hepatitis C for Free.”
We spent a lot of time this quarter talking to our colleagues in the investment industry, soliciting “the other side” argument for Gilead, trying to understand what we are missing about this stock. As we suspected most people cannot overcome the confluence of two business models inside one company: Gilead’s growing, annuity-like HIV business and the shrinking and ultimately finite Hep C business.
Let’s look at the HIV business first. It is a stable business that is growing about 6-8% a year in the developed markets: unfortunately, 4% more people get infected with HIV every year, and prices go up 2-4% a year. This business has substantial operational leverage (costs don’t grow as fast as revenues), thus 6-8% revenue growth should bring 8-10% earnings growth. Twenty years ago, AIDS was a death sentence; today it is an inconvenience. A person infected with AIDS today has a similar lifespan as a healthy person, but unfortunately for them (fortunately for GILD’s investors) they have to keep taking GILD’s medicine for the rest of their lives.
Gilead has several HIV drugs, which fall into one of two groups: TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate)-based and TAF (tenofovir alafenamide)-based. Patents for TDF-based drugs expire over the next couple years; however, GILD recently came out with TAF drugs. They are as effective as TDF drugs but have a fraction of the toxicity – there are fewer signs of kidney injury and decreases in bone density. The market is slightly skittish about GILD’s ability to transition patients from TDF drugs to TAF drugs – we are not concerned.
Last year, we observed how a pharmaceutical company was able to successfully extend the life of its patents by shifting patients from a once a day regimen to a three times a week regimen of the same (chemically identical, just higher-dosage) compound. If pharmaceutical companies were able to pull off this farce and get insurance companies to pay for it, we have not doubt that Gilead will be able to convince governments and insurance companies to pay for new, much superior medicine. Patents for the company’s TAF-based drugs expire in 2030.
We took Gilead’s HIV revenues, subtracted all HIV-related costs of goods sold and all of the company’s R&D and sales expenses, and arrived at 2017 HIV earnings of close to $4.50. A high-quality business with very high recurrence of revenue that is growing 8-10% should trade at 15-17 times earnings or $67-76 a share – basically Gilead’s current stock price.
Valuing Gilead’s hepatitis C business is a bit trickier. With every patient cured the market declines by one patient. Thankfully for society’s sake, hepatitis C is not a growing market (at least in developed countries). Our estimate of the value of the hepatitis C business is somewhere between $70 to $120 per share, depending on pricing and number of patients cured.
Also, even though we expensed GILD’s R&D when we arrived at the company’s HIV earnings, we have not given GILD any benefit for future drugs that $3 billion spent annually will deliver in the future.
The market has a hard time digesting a stock whose overall earnings may decline from $13 a share in 2015 to $11, maybe even $10, over the next year or two. In many respects Gilead reminds us of Apple. Just like Apple, whose products can fit on one table, the bulk of Gilead’s revenue comes from a handful of products.
Just like Apple, whose stock was punished when iPhone sales declined in 2016 because they were up 50% in the previous year (and thus stole sales from 2016 and 2017), Gilead’s initial sales of Hep C drugs benefited from incredible pent-up demand from sick people who waited years for this miracle drug. Gilead over earned in 2015, and today its earnings power is closer to $11 a share, not $13. As we continued in our attempts to kill GILD’s business during the quarter, we simply failed to do so.
Hi all, Been dabbling in the investing world and I've been mystified by this phenomenon. I see companies in certain subreddits or in top gainers that go up by 200-300% over a day or two. I saw some good news for these companies but is most news worth essentially tripling the perceived value of the company?
Interested in everyone's thoughts - thank you!
I would like to put around $200 into the app. Would love to hear what you guys have to say. Just tips in general on where to research? I'd like to know where I can go for more information on what to buy also what things as I am a beginner should I avoid?
Kicking myself for selling off on Friday.
Can someone explain this to me please ?
$NUGT has shaved off half of it's value this month. Why?
USDCAD 0.14% has made a bearish ABCD rally from the May lows into the 50% retrace of the entire decline from January at 1.3575. I think this is a sell on reversal price action and the target is 1.3020
Seems to be a good Idea to sell now. We see рowerful resistence area now. Ill try! Good luck! http://ift.tt/2g7czLm
Mainly technical analysis here, but I think the fundamentals support a break to the downside. I have an order in to short if it drops on opening with stops back above the channel support and the SMA 50, with limits set just above lines of support from earlier in the year. I'm hoping LIMIT 1 will be realised quite quickly, and looking to buy back 50% there, with LIMIT 2 with the other 50% of my position being a potential super score (in my books!) lower down. AUDUSD 0.05% 's past performance suggests that if it tanks, it could fall down to that bottom line quite quickly. In my view, the fundamentals might help to accelerate the bears.
These are only my opinions. Comments, questions and suggestions are very welcome!
Video created for the purpose of educating people on the basics of mutual funds. Part of a semester long project in which I will go into more detail about mutual funds.
I'm predicting a huge stock market dip within the next few weeks but I'll be investing in natural gas, oil, coal, steel, iron ore, aluminum, and of course energy... get ready to ride this zucking wave you rookies...
Hey everyone!
Here's the video/webinar I talked about earlier this week! https://youtu.be/08R_TJhAOGo
It answers all the questions from this thread
THE VIDEO IS NOT DONE UPLOADING YET BUT I'M GOING OUT SO I'M POSTING IT NOW. IT SHOULD BE DONE AROUND 9PM ET!
Let me know if you have any more questions!
Milk from vegetables . :)
Hey guys, so im trying to start trading stocks, but i dont know where to start. Before you guys lecture me, i know the basics of stock trading, on how to trade the safest (but nothing is safe for sure). My question is, what website/app should i be using to start with trading, and what website should i use to look at market values and to look at patterns. basically anything that will help a novice trader.
Any Canadians lurk here? What are you buying on the TSX to profit from a Trump presidency? And what are you selling? Also, i know about r/canadianinvestor I just want to get different opinions :)
Panic and doom are transformed overnight by relief, hope and greed - in what is widely known as the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world. Google -2.90% and YouTube are your friends.
This is not a prediction - it is an expectation based on hard facts that are out there.
Yes - the markets are always right as I hold no power over the future. But there is a thing called reality and even markets have to obey it!
Watch on chart! http://ift.tt/2eZszd9
I am a beginner to the whole stock market thing, and I would like to start getting the hand of chart analysis but most programs are very very pricey. So what program would you recommend?
I'm going on vacation for a week, where do I store my "cash" such that it won't affect much market fluctuation? Is there a specific stock ticker for bonds, money market?
Hi all!
I would like to get started trading US equities and options. I have been looking for paper trading accounts, and am debating which is the best one. I know TD Ameritrade and Interactive Brokers has one. I feel like the IB GUI is not that fluid. TD Ameritrade requires a deposit to set up a paper trading account. I have an IRA with Fidelity, but as I understand they don't have a paper trading account.
Can you guys recommend me a paper trading app? Thanks.
M-term trade. Correction structure to 1.1130 http://ift.tt/2eZmv4m
I want to make money so I could pay for college after I graduate in 4 years. What should I invest in? And what brokers should I use for a slightly long term investment (4-6 years)?
J.C. Penney — The retailer's adjusted quarterly loss of 21 cents per share matched estimates, but revenue was below forecasts and comparable-store sales fell 0.8 percent. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a same-store sales increase of 2.2 percent.
Walt Disney — Disney missed estimates by six cents a share, with adjusted quarterly profit of $1.10 per share. Revenue also missed forecasts. Disney's results were impacted by declining subscriber numbers at ESPN. Its shares at first tumbled in after-hours trading, but rebounded following more optimistic comments by CEO Robert Iger on Disney's earnings conference call.
Nordstrom — Nordstrom reported adjusted quarterly profit of 84 cents per share, well above estimates of 52 cents a share. The retailer's revenue beat Street forecasts, as well. Nordstrom's results got a boost from its Anniversary Sale, but the company did cut its profit forecast for 2016 while projecting flat comparable-store sales.
Michael Kors — Kors came in seven cents a share above estimates, with quarterly profit of 95 cents per share. The luxury goods maker's revenue matched forecasts, however it also issued a weaker-than-expected forecast for the holiday shopping season.
Nvidia — Nvidia trounced estimates by 26 cents a share, with quarterly earnings of 83 cents per share. The graphics chipmaker's revenue was also well above estimates as its new products sold well. The company announced a $2 billion stock buyback and a 22 percent dividend hike to 14 cents per share, as well.
Apple, Alibaba, Visa — Dan Loeb's Third Point hedge fund took new stakes in those companies, among others, and increased its holdings in Alphabet and Facebook. The information comes from the fund's quarterly 13-F filing.
Alibaba — Alibaba said its Singles' Day sales have already surged past last year's total, but the China-based online retailer's growth rates have slowed compared to a year ago.
Amazon.com — Amazon was ordered by a judge to refund parents for in-app purchases made by children without permission. However, the judge also turned aside a request by the Federal Trade Commission for a $26.5 million lump sum payout.
CME Group — Chief Executive Officer Phupinder Gill is stepping down on December 31, with the exchange operator's executive chairman and president Terry Duffy adding the CEO role to his duties.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals — The drugmaker may change its name to repair damage to its reputation, according to investor Bill Ackman in a CNBC interview. Ackman is a Valeant board member and his Pershing Square Capital Management is a major stakeholder.
Waste Management — Waste Management named CFO James Fish as is new president and chief executive officer, succeeding David Steiner who had been CEO since 2004. The company is in the process of searching for a new CFO.
Quest Diagnostics — The medical lab operator raised its revenue growth outlook and announced a 12.5 percent quarterly dividend increase to 45 cents per share from 40 cents.
Aetna, Humana — Credit Suisse upgraded both health care companies to "outperform" from "neutral," on the idea that a Trump administration might improve prospects for health care stocks in general and also increase the chances that Aetna's pending deal to buy Humana would pass muster with antitrust officials.
Deckers Outdoor — The shoe retailer was upgraded to "buy" from "hold" at Stifel, after speaking with management about the company's shift in direction and changes in its leadership positions.
Tiffany — Cowen upgraded the luxury goods seller to "outperform" from "market perform," noting a comeback for the luxury category and that Tiffany is a well-positioned and trusted brand.
