habe ich damals meiner Umgebung erklärt, dass "Jay Jay" auf deutsch übersetzt "der mit dem Ball tanzt" heißen würde:

Bei sharexxx fällt mir da ein: "Bohnen in Ohren, Tomaten auf den Augen, einige Bretter vor dem Kopf"- und der Rest ist Schweigen und nach mir die Sintflut.

halte ich gierige Kleinzocker, die während sie kaufen negative Postings ablassen.

Obwohl es da nur um wenige Euros geht, ist das ein Verstoß gegen das Wertpapierhandelsgesetz - und wenn so etwas massenhaft geschieht, weil sich niemand gegen die Kleinkriminellen wehrt, können aus Peanuts sogar Erdnussfarmen entstehen.

"As the largest and fastest growing EHS software provider, VelocityEHS is deeply invested in the EHS and sustainability concerns of our customers."

Grund dafür angeführt, dass das Management kurz- und mittelfristig kein Interesse an steigenden Kursen hat, wenn man wie Actua sich schon seit über zehn Jahren nicht mehr über den Kapitalmarkt finanziert.

Für diese These habe ich bisher nur Hohn und Spott geerntet (logischerweise ohne sachliche Begründungen), aber der vorstehende Artikel greift meine These und meine Begründungen auf.

Why th management don*t buy back shares and don't increase the shareholder-value, but fill the own pockets

"Every January and February, the titans of American finance find out how much they’re getting paid. And every year, bank boards settle on a fixed dollar figure for executive stock awards. To determine how many shares that is, each bank tracks its stock price for a period of time -- anywhere from one day to 10 -- and divides the fixed dollar value by an average price. Higher stock prices yield fewer shares. Lower prices mean more."

wenn du dir mal die Optionsbedingungen im SEC Bericht zu Actua durchlesen würdest, anstatt hier fortwährend Artikel zu posten, wirst du merken, dass das Actua Management nur Nachteile durch den niedrigen Aktienkurs hat, da hier nicht feste Beträge mit Aktien vergütet werden, sondern eine vorher definierte Stückzahl an Aktien zugeteilt wird.

Actua to Announce Fourth Quarter  and Year End 2015 Results Monday, February 29th After Market Close

RADNOR, Pa., Feb. 17, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Actua Corporation (ACTA), the multi-vertical cloud company, will release the financial results for its fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2015 on Monday, February 29, 2016, after the market closes.

The Company will host a conference call to discuss fourth quarter and full year results on Monday, February 29, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. ET. Participating on the conference call will be Walter Buckley, Actua’s chief executive officer, and Kirk Morgan, chief financial officer of the Company.

The Company will also host a live webcast for the call with an accompanying slide presentation.  The webcast can be accessed at www.actua.com/investors/events-presentations/.

Eine wichtige Größe für ein Unternehmen wie Actua ist die Umsatzentwicklung seiner Beteiligungen. Die Umsätze der vier Kernbeteiligungen, an denen Actua zwischen 90% und 100% hält, finden sich bei Acuta wieder, die Umsätze der drei Minderheitsbeteiligungen sind nicht enthalten - auch nicht anteilig.

Quartalsumsätze von Actua (Quellen: diverse Quartaspresentations von Actua)

Q1/13 = 12.0 Million
Q2/13 = 13.5 Million
Q3/13 = 16.1 Million
Q4/13 = 17.7 Million
Q1/14 = 18.4 Million
Q2/14 = 19,0 Million
Q3/14 = 19.0 Million
Q4/14 = 26.6 Million
Q1/15 = 30.6 Million
Q2/15 = 33.5 Million
Q3/15 = 34 1 Million

Das ist das Resultat von organischem Wachstum und zugekauftem Wachstum, wobei die Zukäufe fast komplett aus der eigenen Cash finanziert wurden - wobei das "fast" nicht auch Kreditaufnahme bedeutet, sondern der Beteiligung verkaufenden Unternehmen an einem der vier Kernunternehmen.

Für 2015 hat das Unternehmen im Guidance eine Zielgröße von 134 Millionen genannt, was 35,8 Millionen in Q4/2015 bedeutet.

Für 2016 gehe ich von einem Wachstum von 30% aus, davon 23% organisch und weitere 7% durch sogenannte Tuck-In's (kleinere Zukäufe der vier Kernbeteiligunen), womit wir bei 174 Millionen landen würden  

denn neben Festzuteilungen gibt dort auch Optionen - aber vorsichtshalber belegt er seine Aussagen nicht durch Quellen und Fakten.

Nachhaltigkeit setzen.

The SEC should take a look at the Management of Actua, if this Management working together with not legal naked shortsellers to lower the prices for their options, because this were a criminal activity to robber the shareholders.

Actua has enough cash for a buy-back of 30% of the outstanding shares

The Plan1 First Responder Share Service offered by MSDSonline, a VelocityEHS solution, is a new way for companies to provide emergency response teams with access to lifesaving hazardous chemical inventory information. Through a cloud platform, first responders can quickly access up-to-date, company-specific chemical safety information (such as facility floor plans, chemical container maps, inventory lists, and safety data sheets) from any mobile device or computer connected to the Internet, even on the way to a call. The service is offered at no additional cost to MSDSonline customers and is free for their first responders, including firefighters, police and EMTs who too often face unknown dangers when responding to emergencies at factories, university laboratories, warehouses and other places of business where hazardous chemicals are present. With Plan1, important hazardous chemical information can be shared in advance of an incident, giving emergency personnel the data necessary to assess the site-specific risks of on premise chemicals and make precautionary preparations.

Und diese 1,4 Millionen hat er nicht alle kostenlos bekommen, sondern musste für einen Teil auch bezahlen.

Dass dann niedrige Preise vorteilhaft sind, versteht sich von selbst - was immer auch dazu irgendein auf schlau machender Lügenbaron erzählt.

Positioning the company for rapid growth and high scalability - InvestmentNews interview with the new COO of Foliodynamix

InvestmentNews interview with the new COO of Foliodynamix

Q: What do you hope to accomplish?

A: One is positioning the company for rapid growth and high scalability. That is the big thing, positioning us for scale and building this company today for the company we'll be in five years. You hear of companies where people say that the company grew too fast. There's no such thing as companies that grew too fast but you can prepare for that growth. We will help our future clients ride this wave of digital disruption. Every firm is evaluating what is their digital strategy and how does it all fit. And they are looking for answers. We're the answer.

Q: Talking about digital disruption, where do you see the industry's technology now and how might it change?

A: A lot is happening, not just in our industry but in every industry. Customer expectations are changing. The expectation for how you interact with your wealth, whether you're the investor or financial adviser, those expectations are going up, and, because of technology, certain tasks have been commoditized in the industry. Basic portfolio and asset allocation is something that more and more is becoming a commodity, and something that needs to be automated so that advisers can be efficient and scale their practice. I think that is an advantage that allows advisers to focus on the true value of their business, which is the human touch and dealing with customers and helping them understand health care costs in retirement, and how to put kids through school, and less so “do I need to rebalance your portfolio this quarter?”

"Today, more and more traditional advisers are coming to see robo advice not so much as a competitive threat but more as a complement that can enhance a traditional model if wisely employed.

Perhaps equally important, the rise of robo advisers highlights the opportunities that technology presents. As investors increasingly interact with digital platforms in all aspects of their lives — including, now, in the realm of financial and investment advice — they expect and demand more efficient interactions and service delivery from their financial advisers.

As a best practice, advisers should now view technology as a strategic tool for improving their efficiency, providing an improved client experience – and ultimately increasing client retention rates and attracting new clients. They must go beyond technology's traditional role in automating back-office procedures and attempting to improve and organize the management of client data."
