– macleans.ca
MINSK, Belarus — Guns will fall silent, heavy weapons will pull back from the front, and Ukraine will trade a broad autonomy for the east for control of the Russian border by the end of the year under a peace deal hammered out Thursday in all-night negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany
The deal was full of potential pitfalls, however, that could derail its implementation. In announcing the plan, Russia and Ukraine disagreed over what exactly they had agreed to in marathon 16-hour talks, including the status of a key town under rebel siege.
Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters that the agreement envisages a cease-fire that will be effective starting from the start of the day Sunday (2200 GMT or 5 p.m. EST Saturday) as well as a special status for the rebel regions, provisions on border controls and humanitarian issues.

– IntelligentSpeculator.net
Today, I’m adding the first of several stocks to the list of stocks that I follow; Box Inc. (BOX)For those of you who are new to the blog, you might know that one of the main things I blog about are my long & short tech stocks. It’s not a big part of my investments but it’s a lot more active than the rest and has done extremely well in the past few years. Evey time that I look for a trade opportunity, I start by looking at the list of stocks that I follow. That list can be found here.
I also track news, earnings reports and more for all of these companies. I generally tend to stay away from trading recently turned public companies. It is partially because I want more historical data on those companies but also because they are so volatile in the first few months. Just look at the daily movements by BOX:
What is Box?
Box is an extremely interesting company to add. It is an online file sharing company that mainly focuses on a business offering. As companies quickly move their assets towards the “cloud”, Box is very well positioned as one of the leaders…
