I think IQ has a big earnings report in 2 weeks. Their growth has been phenomenal and it is trading at around 3 times future earnings vs the 9 times for Netflix.

Ya'll should check out DXC. Up 34% last year. Due, in part, to my successes there. Transformation to a more digital company is positively affecting bottom lines big time right now.
Huge contracts in the pipeline as well. Worth a bit of research, IMO. |

Anyone else noticing that credit card rewards deals don't seem as good as they were 3-4 years ago?
I'm a little miffed I got a Commerce Bank card stating 3% on wireless providers axing that offering four months after I opened it up. |

Auto lenders are having a rough time. I imagine that credit card lenders are doing the same right now, but with less collateral.

The banks are getting killed on credit card rebate/rewards programs. The idea is to give folks an incentive period of extra rewards (6 months or whatever) and then the customer stays on. Instead, they hop over to the next very generous program, one from the other, over and over. As a result, banks are starting to pare back on the programs. |

I don't have any deep knowledge on the topic. I heard about this a month or so ago -- that banks are taking larger and larger reserves against credit card rebate obligations due to people being smarter and more efficient in "playing" the rebate game against the banks. That's all I can tell you. |

Trucks cost too much. Buying a basic model is damn near impossible and the terms they'll give you are WAY too long. Too many idiots only see the per month costs and roll into the next one without thinking about the length. Before they know it, they're driving a vehicle that isn't even worth paying off. It's only a matter of time before all the ignorance wads up in a ball of fire for both sides. |
