    GRUB reports after the close on 8/3. I may join you on this gamble, obviously with a small position since it's simply an earnings play.

    The business model sucks. Requires you to leave your home, drive to crowded mall, find parking, arrive at specific time, overpay for popcorn and soda (which by the way is also passe snacks), and deal with a possibly bad audience.

    And I haven't even talked about (the quality of) the movie yet!

    From these ashes, they will have to be reborn or die forever.

    This market would be way more red if AAPL was not green here

    FIT reporting today. I know StockJock-e is not long this. I guess GRMN has overtaken them.

    Small caps have really underperformed against big caps lately, I guess it is due to the dollar weakness that would benefit the big multinationals rather than the domestic companies

    Dow turns negative on report Mueller's Russia probe is intensifying
    • The Dow Jones industrial average held around 22,000 just one day after breaking above the mark.
    • Wall Street also set its sights on key employment data with the Labor Department scheduled to release the July jobs report on Friday.

    FIT and GPRO both jumped after earnings, I guess sometimes it works into your favor when you have low expectations :p

    Unfortunately didn't get around to putting the order in on Wednesday, and Thursday it was already up too much for me to get in. Looks like you had a decent result! @anotherdevilsadvocate

    Yeah I was worried it was going to get hit hard, it's buying Eat24 from YELP. Sometimes acquirers get hit on news like that, but I guess it's not a bad thing in a crowded space with upside.
