Friday's Daily Blog Watch

 

Editor's note: Every morning, James Altucher presents the most timely, topical posts from the Web's best business blogs.

Cramer's Q&A from yesterday includes responses on Kraft (KFT) vs. Altria (MO), and is Qualcomm (QCOM) a buy?


Foundry (FDRY) was left for dead in 2002. But now, The Stockmasters wonder whether there's still upside after its great run. I love a good underdog play.


With the S&P 500 hitting all-time highs, there are a lot of unusual things going on. Here are the unusual stocks of the day: stocks that rose on unusual volume yesterday, suggesting a possible breakout. And stocks with unusual option activity, suggesting that you and I are getting screwed by someone who knows something .


Which biotechs are most likely to succeed in their next wave of FDA phase III trials?


Could it be? 24/7 Wall St. believes Dendreon (DNDN) actually caught a break from the FDA.


Well, was it good or bad? Check out Dell's (DELL) earnings.


This is the most interesting thing I've ever read about the relationship between Microsoft's (MSFT) Bill Gates and Apple's (AAPL) Steve Jobs. Thank you once again, Crossing Wall Street, for lighting up my life.


I'm a user of StumbleUpon and I think it's a neat product. But I was still jealous when I heard eBay (EBAY) bought it for $75 million, and I have no shame in admitting it.


The Israel Newsletter has the top 3 buyout candidates among the publicly traded Israeli stocks


Is Dell cheap vs. Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and IBM (IBM)?


Well, I knew there would be a lot of before and after shots of the S&P 500 now and last time it hit a high. But Paul Kedrosky is my first stop on that bus ride.


Speaking of jealousy, here's the jealous post of the day. Thank you, CBS (CBS), for taking away the pleasure I got from Crossing Wall Street above.


Forget those little 2% and 3% dividends that the Dow stocks offer. Here are all the stocks with 9% dividend yields.


What's better? Stocks or New York City taxi medallions?
