Douglas's Articles

Southern Copper Corp. (SCCO) is one of the world’s largest integrated copper producers, with a history dating to 1952. We believe the outlook for copper prices remains favorable. This backdrop supports a robust growth trajectory for SCCO, highlights Doug Gerlach, editor of Investor Advisory Service.
The Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW) has been at the forefront of major changes in the brokerage industry over the past six decades. It was among the very first to offer discounted brokerage commissions when the Securities and Exchange Commission abolished the old fixed-fee system in favor of market competition on May 1, 1975, writes Doug Gerlach, editor of Investor Advisory Service.
FactSet Research Systems Inc. (FDS) shares edged up despite missing consensus estimates. For the third fiscal quarter ended May 31, EPS fell 4% on a 6% revenue increase. Organic revenue gained 4.4%, highlights Doug Gerlach, editor of Investor Advisory Service.
Shares of Copart Inc. (CPRT) dropped more than 11% after the company reported muted fiscal third-quarter volume growth. Still, this is a company that applies a very long-time horizon to its investments, and its track record has been excellent, notes Doug Gerlach, editor of Investor Advisory Service.
