Buy the Dip Before Delta Airlines Stock Soars Higher

Chris Markoch

If you had bought DAL stock at the beginning of the year, you’re up 22%. But in the last month, the stock has dropped about 6% on two separate occasions. This is creating what I believe will be a great opportunity for investors to buy shares of the airline at a discount as air traffic begins to return.

How Secure Should You Be With BlackBerry Stock?

Chris Markoch

BlackBerry stock got caught up in the meme stock shenanigans and soared to a 10-year high. BB stock has come back to earth, and on the heels of a weak earnings report and with meaningful revenue from its recent contracts awhile away, it’s fair to wonder if BlackBerry has further to fall.

McCormick Stock Is Seasoned Just Right For Value Investors

Chris Markoch

McCormick stock may not be spicy enough for growth investors. However value investing is making a comeback, and I like MKC stock for a reliable dividend and the ability to capture some stock price growth that approximates the growth of the company’s business which has been around 4% to 5% over the last three years.

Is Dollar General or Ollie’s the Better Buy After Earnings?

Chris Markoch

Both Dollar General and Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings are trading significantly lower in the last month. But with neither stock getting a bump from earnings, it’s a reasonable question to wonder which of the stocks represents a better value in a post-pandemic world.
