About Macy’s From what we’ve gathered from a business perspective along with making daylong trips to the mall, retail is awful. The margins tend to be slim, the customers are always changing their behaviors and purchasing patterns, the industry has historically been riddled with theft (commonly referred to as “shrink” in the industry), waste and […]

About Union Pacific Most of the companies we analyze hold little to no sentimental value to our team. Union Pacific is different. When I was much younger, I lived close to a suburban commuter railroad and would devote hours to watching the rush hour traffic of trains coming in and out of the station with

About Schlumberger While most of the gigantic, well-known energy, oil and gas companies such as ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell and others typically get the majority of the spotlight from the pundits, we’d like to give a company with a funny name a chance. Schlumberger. Yeah, say that a few times over and try not to laugh.

About Aflac The first few thoughts that come to mind when we think of Aflac are a goofy duck, Deion Sanders and Nick Saban. As most large insurance companies tend to have silly and intriguing commercials since insurance itself is arguably one of the most boring topics of conversation ever, it’s good to know that

About Canadian National Railway There has been a lot of recent speculation regarding rail strikes, which is by all means a pretty scary thought if we had to suffer the consequences. Given that the men and women tasked with operating mile-long freight trains, transporting essential goods and services across the United States (and of course,

About Skechers Skechers used to be the cat’s pajamas. We fondly remember them as the shoe brand that peaked in popularity in the mid-to-late 2000s and then we pretty much forgot about their existence. No offense, Skechers. We often opt for other shoe brands, as it’s also not all that common for the vast majority

About Electronic Arts When I was a lot younger, I loved playing video games. One Christmas morning, I ran into the living room and was promptly greeted with a PlayStation 3 (PS3). But what’s a brand new, state of the art video game console without the most essential video games? I was gifted one of

About Wendy’s Many would likely suggest that if for whatever reason, the McDonald’s is closed, Wendy’s is the next best thing. While I think McDonald’s has pricing, marketing and portions down to a science, Wendy’s brings the flavor and then some. Baconators are scrumptious and as the cool kids say, the bacon cheese fries hit
