With Alternet Systems, Inc.’s (ALYI) Big Data Division, SMEs can make it to the Big Leagues

Michael Lewis’s Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game tells the heartwarming story of how the Oakland Athletics baseball team achieved success in spite of financial limitations.

The rest, as the saying goes, is history. The Oakland Athletics’ budget of $40 million was the third-lowest in 2002, one-third of that of the top-placed New York Yankees with $120 million.

Content Checked (CNCK) Ahead of the Game as FDA Places Microscope on Added Sugars with Revamped Nutrition Facts Label

In recent years, added sugars have come under increased scrutiny from nutrition activists, and for good reason. According to the Mayo Clinic (http://dtn.fm/hU92i), added sugars, which are introduced to foods during processing, can play a major role in a variety of potential health problems, including poor nutrition, weight gain, increased triglycerides and tooth decay. As a result, dietary guidelines continually warn of the dangers of overconsumption of sugar. The American Heart Association (http://dtn.fm/5AfAf), for example, suggests consuming no more than 100 calories a day from added sugars for most women and no more than 150 calories a day for most…

Navigate the Social Media Galaxy with FRAME from Agora Holdings (AGHI)

Visitors to the online Oxford Dictionaries will have noticed a new term, digital detox, defined as ‘a period of time during which a person refrains from using electronic devices such as smartphones or computers, regarded as an opportunity to reduce stress or focus on social interaction in the physical world…’ This is a welcome entry in many ways, not least of which because it indicates the extent to which we have embraced the use of digital devices increasingly over the past two decades.

It may be Time to go Long on Giggles N’ Hugs (GIGL)

A look at the short sales (http://dtn.fm/Fk5lI) for Giggles N’ Hugs (OTCQB: GIGL) is showing why it may be time to go long. At the end of last year, short interest in the stock was 3,671. By April 29, 2016, that had declined to 490. Changes in short interest may reflect market sentiment. When short interest climbs, it’s because there’s an expectation that the stock will fall.
