New Trade: Long Priceline ($PCLN) & Short AOL ($AOL)
– IntelligentSpeculator.net
After receiving a lot of feedback when I went public with my view of Yahoo, I did short it last Monday which ended up being good timing as the COO was fired later that week which set the stock back a bit. Overall the performance has been good but it’s still very early obviously…!As will be the case all year, my long & short stock picks will be available to see in my live spreadsheet:

AP Interview: Davos forum founder expects focus on Syria, Iran during event at Swiss resort
– canadianbusiness.com
DAVOS, Switzerland – Talks over the future of Syria and Iran will occur on the sidelines of the annual gathering for political and financial elites in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, the founder of the World Economic Forum said Monday.
Klaus Schwab said in an interview with the Associated Press that there will be crossover between the forum’s 2,500 participants and the more than 30 foreign ministers attending the start of the Syria peace conference several hours away in Montreux, Switzerland.
Syria’s main, Western-backed opposition group threatened Monday to sit out this week’s peace conference that is trying to end the country’s devastating civil war. But the head of the opposition has confirmed his attendance in Davos.
“Here you have some of the true leaders with the influence on the region, so I am sure the results will have an impact on our own discussions,” said Schwab, a German-born economist and engineer who founded the Davos forum in 1971…

RBC cuts mortgage rates, don’t expect others to follow suit
– moneysense.ca
TORONTO – A move by Royal Bank to slightly decrease its fixed mortgage rates may have would-be homeowners wondering whether other banks may follow suit.
But one expert says that while that’s a possibility, it’s also not the most important question people should be asking.
RBC (TSX:RY) quietly lowered its rates on several fixed-rate mortgages by 10 basis points over the weekend. It was a small drop to the discounted rate offered by the bank until the end of the month, but one that went against the general trend of rising rates.
Jason Scott, a mortgage broker with The Mortgage Group in Edmonton, says a push to lower rates as big lenders compete for mortgages in the important spring market is possible, but the change simply brings RBC closer to those already being offered by some other lenders.
He also points out that this latest change is unlikely to have the effect major cuts have had in a past — like when the Bank of Montreal lowered its five-year rate to 2.99 per cent and created a price war…
