    Fed announcement today?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 05:38 AM PST

    Fed initially predicted 3 rate hikes and mentioned they'd be open to adding more as necessary. It sounds like many think 4 rate hikes is likely: huge tax cuts as well as a seemingly unstoppable bull market that's already back to near where it was before the correction will likely lead to more inflation, correct?. Shouldn't the market be reacting negatively to the possibility of 4 rate hikes or are we just enjoying a nice run-up before the announcement?

    Amazon buys Ring

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 01:19 PM PST

    Amazon is buying smart doorbell maker Ring, a deal that will allow Amazon to work with the team on home security, the companies said.

    In an email statement to CNBC, Ring's spokesperson confirmed the deal, saying, "We'll be able to achieve even more by partnering with an inventive, customer-centric company like Amazon. We look forward to being a part of the Amazon team as we work toward our vision for safer neighborhoods."

    Amazon is expected to keep Ring as an independent business, much like it has with other its acquisitions, like Zappos and Twitch, according to GeekWire, which earlier reported details of the deal. The deal is expected to be worth over $1 billion, according to Reuters.

    The two companies are expected to announce the deal later today.

    Amazon's spokesperson also confirmed the deal, saying, "Ring's home security products and services have delighted customers since day one. We're excited to work with this talented team."

    Ring has raised $209 million so far, and was last valued at $760 million, according to Pitchbook.

    This isn't the first time Amazon has partnered with Ring. The e-commerce company previously invested in Ring through its Alexa Fund, which exclusively invests in companies that help scale its Alexa voice-technology.

    In a previous interview with CNBC, Ring CEO Jamie Siminoff described his relationship with Amazon and Alexa Fund as "nuclear power," in reference to the company's potential to both help and destroy your business.

    "To say Amazon will not compete with you is lunacy because they compete with everybody," Siminoff said. "They're like nuclear power. They are very, very powerful and you can get amazing, clean energy from them but there's also the possibility of getting human radiation if you're not careful."

    Note: Great acquisition. Go Amazon!

    Stock Analysis | Week 2

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 03:00 PM PST

    Last week I offered to review your tickers and give you a brief, mostly technical, analysis. It seemed to be heavily used, so I will be doing it again this week. However, I'm going to add some rules so that I can feel like I'm pushing you guys to do your best.

    1. No ETF/ETD. They're based on the underlying asset which it's pretty easy to google.

    2. Nothing under $2. Our Weekly Pick Challenge has this as a rule and for good reason, so I will carry it over here.

    3. This one is big Try your best to say why you want that ticker looked at. If you've already done DD on it, let us know what you found. To be successful you must do your DD, so I want to get people in the habit of thinking instead of just posting tickers and expecting work done for them.

    Last week I just went in first come first serve order. This week I will go in the same order amongst those that try their best to follow those rules.

    As always, GLTA!

    TRXC

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 02:27 PM PST

    Thoughts on this stock? In my opinion it could be a winner long term and here's why...Robotic surgery. Statistically speaking, robotic surgery is expected to grow in the next decade. There is currently only one big time player in the robotic surgery field with not much if any competition. ISGR. They have been around for about 15 years and have a market cap of about 48.4 billion. That's pretty fierce. Now imagine if any of that can be captured by an up and coming company. Last October the FDA cleared a challenger with another (RASD) Robotically assisted surgical device for minimally invasive surgery. In comes (TRXC) TransEnterix with the new FDA approved Senhance robot. Can they take some of that market share? Apparently this machine has haptic feedback and 3D vision that the competition lacks. As of now from my research they haven't sold any but the earnings report next week might say otherwise. To me, it will take time to get this machine to market but the upside just seems like it could be huge. Thoughts?

    Patriot One, potential solution to shootings and great investment opportunity.

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 07:41 AM PST

    A weapons detection system that can identify weapons on individuals entering a building.

    Already approved in Canada and the US.

    Put this at the entrances of a building, and the alarm will go off when they enter. Then just lock them in the entryway.

    No competing systems yet. If they are successful in bringing it to market it could be huge.

    U.S. Stock Market Surge - 'The Bull Market Is Back'

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 07:37 AM PST

    Monday, February 26, was a red-letter day for the U.S. stock market. All three major indexes (DJIA, S&P 500 and Nasdaq) opened up and then charged ahead, knocking over barriers and practically shouting, "The bull market is back!"
