With the market ramping and Apple and other tech stocks leading the way, I sold a portion of Apple in many client accounts on Friday as it crossed $160. I completed sales only in accounts where the position size was pushing towards 4%. I have a detailed spreadsheet on Apple and no matter how much […]

Yesterday NII Holdings (NIHD), one of Northlake’s long positions, fell by more than 5% on huge volume. At one point in the morning the shares were off over 10%. NIHD operates Nextel service in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and Chile. I heard of several reasons for the sharp sell-off. Most of the concern centers on […]
Earlier today, I provided a brief wrap-up of the excellent third quarter performance of the box office which rose at least 15%. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2007, the comparison looks fairly easy although the lack of obvious mega blockbusters suggests only a moderate low to mid-single digit gain. For example, admissions revenue […]
The final totals are in on the third quarter box office and as I have chronicled the results are spectacular. According to data I pull from BoxOfficeMojo.com, the box office rose 15% in the third quarter. My spreadsheet goes back to 2004 and that is by far the best comparison for any quarter. The strength […]
There are no changes to the signals from Northlake’s Market Cap and Style models for October. The market cap model continues to flash a strong signal in favor of large cap outperformance. The style model is now flashing its strongest signal since the late 1999/early 2000 market peak for growth stocks. To capitalize on the […]
Ukraine held elections for the third time in four years over the weekend. The pro-Western block of parties that originally formed the Orange Revolution were the surprise winners by a slight margin. Former Prime Minster Yulia Tymoshenko’s party produced the upside surprise bringing in over 30% of the vote, possibly coming in first place. With […]

With quarterly earnings reports set to pour in starting next week, I thought I’d provide a brief overview of what to look for in each of Northlake’s individual stock holdings. Given recent volatility in stocks prices and growing concerns over the future of the US economy, 3Q earnings and guidance commentary may be the most […]

The weekend box office fell 2% for the top 12 grossing films. This breaks a string of 10 consecutive up weekends. The drop-off vs. last year is less than $1.7 million so it is possible, but doubtful, that when actual results as opposed to estimates are tallied the winning streak will continue. The box office […]
Following my post yesterday on Comcast, my buddy, hedge fund manager and soon to be anchor on the Fox Business Channel, Cody Willard, replied with a bearish view of the stock. Among Cody’s objections to my ongoing bullish stance on Comcast is, “$14 billion of market cap losses for wasting tens of billions of shareholder […]
Mea culpa. Comcast made a new low for this latest down move yesterday, falling more than 3% on what looks like its highest volume day ever before recovering slightly to lose 2.7%. This action occurred after the stock rose a whopping 11 cents in Tuesday’s 335 point advance in the Dow. I feel your pain. […]
