Nike today announced that they are planning to divest their Cole Haan and Umbro brands.  I think this is a good move due to the lower operating margins that these brands have, and they also distract Nike from their core business focus which is thriving.  Nike’s competitive advantages continue to grow as they are constantly...

I’m glad to see that the Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti is ratcheting up pressure on the German’s to be more flexible in aiding peripheral Europe.  I really don’t think the Germans have any choice if there wish is to save the European Union.  With the current disruptions in Spain due to the restructuring of...

There is no doubt that RIMM has really dug a hole for itself with the huge lag between new products.  Blackberry 10 must hit it big or the company will likely be sold.  I still believe the company makes a lot of sense for a buyer such as a Microsoft who could expand their mobile...

While I don’t think this goes far enough I still do view the discussion of a ‘Banking Union’ as a positive.  This crisis will not be resolved without a stricter Union.  The best solution would be for Euro-Bonds, a TARP-like program, and more tangible oversight of fiscal budgets.  There is no EU if Germany remains...

While I certainly agree with the premise of this article, unfortunately I think it is highly unlikely that Chesapeake Energy’s Board of Directors as currently constructed would allow a merger.  They have proven to have zero backbone and to act in their own interests as opposed to those of shareholders.  With that said Chesapeake has...
