Bear Of The Day: JAKKS Pacific (JAKK)

Posted: 05 Feb 2012 11:05 PM PST

Challenging holiday sales hit JAKKS Pacific (NASDAQ:JAKK) badly, which consequently made the company cut its fiscal 2011 guidance. The labor shortage in Asia and an increase in input costs also remained a drag on the stock.
An underperformance in the third quarter’s top and bottom line makes us cautious on the stock. Hence, we downgrade the stock from Neutral to Underperform recommendation.
Our six-month target price of $13.00 equates to about 13.0x our estimate for 2012. The target price implies an … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

QE3 Is Still On The Table

Posted: 04 Feb 2012 12:17 AM PST

After the blowout number from Friday’s Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) release, there was some buzz that it would lessen the probability that the Federal Reserve would undertake QE3. I don’t think so.

According to its statement after its January 2012 FOMC meeting, the Fed has a 2% inflation target but no target for employment [emphasis added]:
The inflation rate over the longer run is primarily determined by monetary policy, and hence the Committee has the ability to specify a longer-run … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards
