[…] Round 1, Game 6 - WIN! In a resounding win over Counter-Intuitive, my post Understanding Your Financial Fortress moved to the second round and now it faces my friend and MBN compatriot’s post, Ten Unconventional Uses for the Penny, in a battle that hopefully won’t but probably will come down to the wire. Comment in your vote for Round Two 9-16 to help push Financial Fortress to the next level, thanks! […]

By: INTU: Intuit Has Some ‘Splainin To Do - Stock Market Beat - Our beat is the stock market. Our job is to beat it.

[…] Intuit has some ’splainin to do, but the funny thing is that none of this is likely what is affecting the stock price. As we have pointed out before, Intuit’s stock price is highly seasonal. It goes up in anticipation of tax season, but “sells on the news” while tax season is actually here. The confusion around today’s earnings and all the buying and selling is simply part of the overall process - Intuit getting cheaper during tax season, possibly presenting an opportunity to buy shares with your refund in April.

By: Intuit Founder Selling Into Seasonal Weakness - Stock Market Beat - Our beat is the stock market. Our job is to beat it.

[…] Interesting timing, with the stock down approximately 20% from recent highs (and in line with the weak seasonality we warned about). Since the seasonal patterns are there for all to see, one would expect the founder to have noticed them as well. The idea that there may be something more than seasonality could have contributed to Monday’s sell-off. […]

[…] A nice anecdotal post about Intuit’s consistently cyclical performance (INTU). I wouldn’t buy a stock just based on the post, but it’s a fast and fun read. Reminds me of Prepaid Legal (PPD), which apparently became the “cash generator” for the Accounting department at school because it, too, had a predictable cyclical performance for a while. […]
