The real-time blow-by-blow of the Yahoo! (YHOO Quote)earnings call last night.


Crossing Wall Street looks at the Nasdaq-to-Dow ratio.


I've helped several people sell their businesses over the past 10 years. In almost 100% of the cases, owners (including myself) have an inflated view of the value of their business. Sometimes they get that value and sometimes they don't. Mercer On Value takes a look at this phenomenon and how to rein in expectations.


Microcap Speculator shares an interesting VOIP idea.


The Retail Stock Blog gives the bull case on Tyson Foods (TSN Quote).


We all know earnings season could be volatile. But Ticker Sense thinks the worst for this quarter might be over.


MoneyScience discusses hedge fund returns year-to-date and breaks it down by strategy. It's interesting to me that the dedicated short bias index was up 5% in June despite the S&P 500, technically, being positive on the month.


What's more important, the technology or the business model?


Please, make this happen.


Valueblogger discusses the recent volatility in James River Coal (JRCC Quote).

Please note that due to factors including low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float, we consider James River Coal to be a small-cap stock. You should be aware that such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity and less publicly available information, and that postings such as this one can have an effect on their stock prices.
