The first two weeks in April are tough. They usually are as people sell stock to pay for their taxes.  … Read more

In this post, we examine insiders purchasing $200,000 of more of their company’s shares, looking for clues that may … Read more

Part of it is the end of 2nd Quarter earnings blackout and part of it is the market sell-off.  The highlights: Charlie Egren, the founder of Dish, is making a massive bet on 5G, buying assets in the pending TMobile Sprint network and committing billions to buy more bandwidth.  Its a bet the farm expensive gamble on a player late to the game.  But if the competing networks are slow in getting 5G rolled out, Dish might be able to lumber in and get a piece of the future … Read more
