Momentum Stock: Mohawk Industries

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 11:05 PM PST

Mohawk Industries Inc (NYSE:MHK)
There are many industry insiders who believe housing is making a turnaround.  I have yet to agree that the action in housing we are seeing is substantial in terms of price. 
One thing we do have is new and existing home sales on the rise.  This to me is a positive for a company like Mohawk.  Whether you think that the average consumer is finally buying houses on confidence or that investors are simply scooping up great deals at rock bottom … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Bear Of The Day: Vistaprint NV (VPRT)

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 11:05 PM PST

Vistaprint NV’s (NASDAQ:VPRT) earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were well ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, we believe that the slow pace of the economic recovery, coupled with huge investments in 2012 and 2013 to attract customers, will restrict improvements in its top as well as bottom lines.
The new set of initiatives also involves increased risk and lack of visibility toward return on investments at the current level. Substantial exposure to international markets also … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards
