Fat Busting By Injection
Neothetics (NEOT) is on the road now to fund the continued development of their injection-based approach to fat loss. It’s a smallish deal of $4.3M shares with a $13-15 price range. Three mid-market banks – Piper Jaffray, Guggenheim, and Needham – are on the cover. Post-IPO there will be ~14M shares outstanding for a market capitalization of […]
Japan’s Last Stand – Portent Of Keynesian Collapse
Abenomics ‘hope’ and ‘reality’ explained by Diapason Commodities’ Sean Corrigan – do you believe in miracles? After last night’s Japanese GDP print, hope is all that is left. So, if the BOJ can just move prices up for long enough, people will start to demand higher wages while companies will gladly accede, since they will be able […]
Will Drone Usage Hurt Amazon?
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s plans to carry out same-day delivery by the use of drones, continues to garner considerable resentment in Cambridge, U.K. The plans have already been termed ‘barking mad’ as safety concerns over unmanned aircrafts continue to mount. A number of people remain skeptical about Amazon flying unmanned aircrafts above the city when dropping […]
Are You Eligible For Health Insurance Tax Credits?
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) can save your small business money through its tax credits. If your small business has employees, you’ve undoubtedly been paying attention to the news coming out of Washington, D.C., about the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Market Commentary: SP500 Continues To Climb As Other Averages Trade Sideways
Written by Gary Markets continued to climb as volume continues to fall. The SP500 once again set a new high (2050.88) as the other major averages traded sideways after falling of their morning highs. By noon the market action has appeared to have fallen off and left to the HFT algo computers to do what they […]
The Fed-Free Zone
I’ve got to say, I’m more and more enamored of shorting markets and sectors in which the Fed has little interest in interfering. Crude oil leaps to mind. There are very few charts which have been so steadily bearish as this one (as well as related companies/producers):
SXSW Tech’s First Investment Of $2M In Canadian Eventbase

Do Lower Gas Prices Really Boost Consumption?
The recent plunge in oil prices has brought both optimism and pessimism to the economic landscape. Anyone who lives in Houston, as I do, knows that the price of oil is an important driver of the economic landscape. The plunge in oil prices in the 1980’s is a solemn memory for many Houstonians, particularly for […]
Why Free Cash Flow Is The Most Useful Metric For Investors
Rule #1: Cash is King If you remember one thing from Accounting 101, it should be: Cash is King. A company needs cash to make, market, or distribute its products. That’s why it’s important to understand the concept of Free Cash Flow or “FCF”. FCF represents the flow of cash coming IN to a business […]
Deflation Shadows Bulls With Disequilibrium In Capital Markets
View from the Hill 17 November 2014 by J. Clinton Hill Deflation is casting a larger shadow over the U.S. equity bull market, and I believe that the Fed may be forced to defer raising rates if the U.S. Dollar continues its upward trajectory while weaker G-8 members (Japan, China, and Europe) maintain highly accommodating […]
