1 Cheap Stock I Bought, and Why: Social Proof

Leave a comment

By Blake Bos and Isaac Pino, CPA, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

In this video, Blake Bos explains his contrarian position on Apple. The stock is down 33% over the past three months or so, and Blake believes this is an overreaction. Apple has good cash flow, it has cash in the bank, and it sells at a great valuation. Blake believes following the crowd is a strong influence on Wall Street and that investors should be careful not to do so. Instead, he says to look for opportunities in companies that have been unfairly dumped.

Blake has no specific timeline for Apple. He’s holding it until a better investment comes along.

There’s no doubt that Apple is at the center of technology’s largest revolution ever and that longtime shareholders have been handsomely rewarded, with more than 1,000% gains. However, there is a debate raging as to whether Apple remains a buy. The Motley Fool’s senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple and what opportunities are left for the company (and your portfolio) going forward.

The Biggest Risk Facing General Motors Today

Leave a comment

By Blake Bos, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

In this video, Blake Bos outlines three risks to General Motors:

  • GM rides the highs and lows of the economy. If the European economy falls flat, for example, GM will feel it in its earnings.
  • A substantial unfunded pension liability will eat into earnings for the next few years.
  • Corporate culture has begun to improve, as its high-quality popular new cars bear out. Will the trend continue, or will GM slip back into its past habits of mediocrity?

For more details, check out the video.

Electric Vehicle Study Praises Tech, but There's a Catch

Filed under:

In the following video, Motley Fool industrials analyst Blake Bos takes a look at a study done by Scientific American, which says that an electric vehicle can drive 6,500 miles on one gigajoule of energy invested into producing the electricity required to propel the vehicle. This was nearly twice the distance that a gasoline-powered car could go on the same amount of energy. But, there’s a catch. Blake tells us what the caveat is, and why electric vehicle investors may have a while to wait before we crack this nut.

Near-faultless execution has led Tesla Motors to the brink of success, but the road ahead remains a hard one.

3 Areas to Watch at Toyota Motors

Leave a comment

By Blake Bos, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

In this video, Motley Fool analyst Blake Bos focuses on Toyota Motors and tells us about the three key areas about the carmaker that investors need to watch.

The first key is to look at is the Chinese market, as China is one of the biggest markets for all Japanese auto manufacturers. The recent disputes between the two countries have affected the sales of some of the major Japanese manufacturers, which is why Toyota might have some problems reaching target sales in China.

The release of Toyota’s upcoming models is the second key area to look at. The company has a reputation of making quality vehicles, with the Corolla being one of its most successful. Therefore, investors should watch Toyota’s upcoming models, including its latest Corolla for the U.S market.

Green technology is the third area to monitor at Toyota. The company is famous for its green technology and is still one of the leaders in manufacturing cars loaded with it. So, investors should watch the company’s current position with green technology and whether it can stay on top in this particular segment.

What Do We Think of the Leadership at GM?

Leave a comment

By Blake Bos, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

In this video, Motley Fool industrials analyst Blake Bos reviews General Motor‘s corporate leadership. CEO Ackerson got off to a rough start in 2010, but clearly has the intelligence and drive to make good things happen at GM. He is surrounded by executives who seem to be on board with what he wants to accomplish. However, GM is limited by what it can pay its executives, courtesy of the U.S. government bailout and continued U.S. government stock holding. This is making recruitment difficult and will hamper future efforts until GM can repurchase its stock from Uncle Sam.

Leave a comment

By Blake Bos, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Monster Beverage has announced that it is instituting a $200 million share-buyback program. This comes only a short time after the company spent $727 million on share repurchases in the second half of 2012. Is this the right move for the company?

Are 3-D Printers Innovating Away Company Profits?

Leave a comment

By Blake Bos, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Companies in the 3-D printing space such as 3D Systems have fast become an exciting investment opportunity as the technology looks to disrupt manufacturing as we know it. But now, an idea on the popular crowdsource-funding website Kickstarter may threaten in turn to disrupt the 3-D printing space. In this video, Motley Fool industrials analyst Blake Bos tells investors how a device called Filastruder may entirely disrupt consumer division profits in the 3-D printing space and what investors will need to follow with this story.

3D Systems is at the leading edge of a disruptive technological revolution, with the broadest portfolio of 3-D printers in the industry. However, despite years of earnings growth, 3D Systems’ share price has risen even faster, and today the company sports a dizzying valuation.

Netflix's $5.6 Billion Obligation Is Key to Its Success

Leave a comment

By Blake Bos, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

In the following video, Motley Fool consumer goods analyst Blake Bos does a breakdown for investors of how Netflix accounts for its content library as intangible assets on its balance sheet. He notes that Netflix’s model of offering unlimited access to content for a certain length of time can be quite expensive, and that the company currently showed $1.37 billion in liabilities for current content, and $1.1 billion for non-current liabilities. Blake tells investors how to get an accurate picture of Netflix’s costs as it acquires new content, and these numbers continue to grow. He also shows what level of liability growth would be unsustainable at its current subscriber growth rate.

How You Should Evaluate RadioShack's Soaring Shares

Leave a comment

By Blake Bos, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Despite the fact that RadioShack‘s stock is up 43% year to date, 2012 was a horrible year for the company. Is there hope for a turnaround for this retailer that’s facing serious cash flow problems and headwinds in a changing overall retail climate?

In this video, Motley Fool consumer goods analyst Blake Bos examines those fundamentals and the key things investors need to see to determine whether this turnaround story represents a real investing win or a pipe dream.

Many write off any chances for RadioShack’s revival, but the brand has been around for more than 80 years and survived numerous technological disruptions during that time. The question is: Can RadioShack survive in today’s new retail environment?

How You Should View Best Buy's Surging Shares

Leave a comment

By Blake Bos, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Shares of Best Buy are up by 83% so far year to date. But with so much uncertainty about the company’s ability to stabilize slowing revenue and same-store sales — and with so many investors viewing this as a turnaround story facing serious headwinds in a disrupted retail landscape — can this stock growth alone be the basis for an investing thesis? In this video, Motley Fool consumer goods analyst Blake Bos discusses how share price can become disconnected from the fundamentals of a company and talks about the real metrics that investors must focus on in order to know when the turnaround is taking place.

The brick-and-mortar vs. e-commerce battle wages on, with Best Buy caught in the middle. After what might have been its most tumultuous year in history, there are now even more unanswered questions about the future for the big-box electronics retailer. How will new leadership perform? Will old leadership take the company private? Will a smaller store format work out for both the company and its brave investors? Should you be one such brave investor? To help answer all these questions, The Motley Fool has released a new premium research report detailing the opportunities — and the risks — in store for Best Buy.

This morning, shares of Tesla Motors were sent skyward after the company announced it would be revising its previous sales estimates by moving them higher.
