On Wednesday the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 50 bps, or 1/2%.  Initially the market reacted favorably to this with a strong rally on Wednesday, only to be reversed with the biggest down day since 2020 on Thursday.  Tech/glamour stocks have simply been getting obliterated.  Tesla dropped 8.3% on the day, while Amazon dropped...

While this optimism ultimately may prove to be valid if interest rates stay this low for many years to come and if earnings continue to grow, there is also a very real chance that many market participants will get badly burned. Most of this year's stock returns for the overall market are coming from Amazon,...

Few articles that I have read describe the investment philosophy of T&T Capital Management (TTCM) better than the below one by the great value investor Howard Marks.  My first six or seven years in the investment industry revolved around the substantive differences between the way that the most successful investors in history have invested, and...

Below is TTCM’s most recent article on Facebook (FB).  This is a company that has obviously sold off quite a bit from the IPO price but it still seems overvalued to us.  It will have to perform perfectly for many years to really grow into its valuation, and while it is possible, we tend to...

I found this excellent article on valuing Facebook (FB).  The author Henry Blodget makes a lot of good points at why Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) offer much more attractive opportunities due to their cheaper valuations, and explosive growth prospects.  Enjoy the article: http://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-facebook-worth-2012-5 INVESTING IN THE FINANCIAL MARKETS INVOLVES RISKS. OPTIONS ARE NOT SUITABLE...
