Jeffries Thinks MR is a Buy?

Today, Jefferies initiated Mindray Medical (MR) with a Buy and a $31 price target. I think the analyst needs to look into MR’s history.

Joy Global Has Turned the Corner

Joy Global (JOYG) makes the big machines that mine raw materials from the ground. Think coal, copper, and iron ore.

For-Profit School K12 is Still Learning

K12 (LRN) missed estimates last quarter and had its 2011 outlook lowered. Yet management patted itself on the back in its earnings release. Management still has some learning to do.

I Would Sell Any and All My CISG

CNinsure (CISG) is getting clobbered today. The news is bad, I would sell any shares of CIGS I owned. Here’s why:

Don’t Depend on Google

Google (GOOG) had results last qtr that were better than expected. Of course only a qtr earlier results disappointed. What do I make of this?

HTHT one-year chart

HTHT – I Missed a Run

China Lodging Group (HTHT) has gone on a tear higher. This Chinese hotel company is one of my top Stocks on the Radar.

No Herbalife

Vitamin Shoppe’s (VSI) one-year chart makes the stock look buyable, but estimates three and four quarters out show 25% and 17% growth coming. I thought VSI might take off like Herbalife (HLF) did last week but after analyzing VSI’s earnings table, I’m not smitten. I’ll continue to keep VSI on the radar.
