While I review hundreds of company earnings reports, I focus […]
Byrna Technologies (BYRN) is a company that most investors might not know about and an alternative for people who simply don’t like guns to protect themselves.

Papa John’s (PZZA) is up 33% in 2020 overall, but still down 18% from its early September all-time high of $102.25.

The big earnings loser last week was Intel (INTC), the semiconductor giant. INTC badly missed earnings with a delay in production of their next-gen chip.
