Tomorrow, If stock go up, that mean today’s action is a pull back. Enter the following action
If it go down, it could mean short the market.
I am looking into REDF today. Seeing it at 10%. Well, sit around. By the time it close, it is up 45%. I want to puked. But no chasing here. I didn’t lose. Just keeping the profit.
Back in 2010, I get about 5-10% return from DPZ.
They have a new initiative and significantly improve their quality of their food.
Well, I guess now they have another new strategy which will definitely “eliminate” their competition. Some local managers decided to burn down their competitors.
There are 2 problem with this strategy plan
1. It is not long term sustainable.
2. Government will quickly step in -well, because of anti-trust law 😀

Chris Evan have a great idea…. No, no, no, not Captain america. Chris Evans is introducing the new Pharma model.
The new model ask big pharma give them pre-clinic drug candidates for Chris Evans company to take it through clinic. Advantage of that have 2 fold
1. Consolidation for cost saving
2. Better Knowledge Management – Learn from failure, no more hush hush between pharma!
More consolidation is coming. If you are in Pharma R&D, fasten your seat belt because more lay off is coming. What NC pharma will do is to consolidate all the clinical trial study into one company. Hence, more efficiency and cast saving. Great concept, let hope it will work!
