Gruss buflo

beiden letzten Postings den Bericht von Internet Capital nicht so genau lesen, obwohl es schon relativ schwer war, das von Ihnen gepostete scheinbar Negative im Bericht zu finden. Denn zunächst einmal konnte man das folgenden sehr Erfreuliche lesen, das man auf Seite -4- der Slide-Presentation des Quartalsbericht so aufdringlich präsentiert bekommt, dass man es eigentlich nicht überlesen kann:

Steady growth and faster pace of growth  (Not rated)      1 minute ago     Look by the revenues at the steady growth and the faster growth of the in the last quarter of the core-companies:

First quarter 2006: 41 million

Second quarter 2006; 45 million

Third quarter 2006: 46 million

Fourth quarter 2006: 50 million

First quarter 2007: 54 million

Second quarter 2007: 57 million

Third quarter 2007: 62 million

Die erwähnten 14.6 Millionen Dollar Umsatzerlöse beziehen sich auf die Holding. Und man kann dem Quartalsbericht sehr gut entnehmen, dass das nur zwei von über 15 Unternehmen einbezogen wurden: ICGCommerce, wo Internet Capital 65% hält, und Investoreforce, wo Internet Capital 80% hält. Da man große Teile von Investorforce verkauft hat und die kaum noch Umsätze haben, sind also weit über 14 Million von einer von über 15 Firmen: ICGCommerce.

Alibab.com reported earnings of 295.2 million Chinese yuan ($39.2 million) in the first six months of 2007.

Talking to reporters after a listing ceremony, Mr Ma said: “The price set is reasonable. I said it two weeks ago, and today’s performance has proven me right.”

He added that the price could rise even higher. “Some investors who had missed out on Google’s IPO don’t want to miss out on Alibaba’s.”

Andrew Clarke, a trader at Societe Generale Securities in Hong Kong told Reuters: “I’m not convinced. It’s massively overpriced. I’d rather go buy Exxon at 15 times earnings.”

Alibaba.com is part of the Alibaba Group, which also includes Yahoo's China operation and Taobao.com, China's biggest online auction site. Yahoo holds a 39 per cent stake in the parent company.

Other investors in the IPO included Cisco Systems and Taiwan’s Hon Hai Precision Industry.

The company started with less than 20 staff and now has 4,400 employees.

To continue this expansion, the company recently appointed Clive de Ruig to the newly created position of head of North America. "Clive has played an instrumental role building T-Zero's client base among major institutions, and he is particularly well suited to help our firm attain the next level of growth," says Mark Beeston, T-Zero president. "T-Zero is continually being sought out as a way to reduce and eliminate operational and settlement risks in an industry that has been growing at a very fast pace."

Beeston says the recent market volumes and volatility has again highlighted the need for automation and system-to-system connectivity to ensure continued growth in the credit derivatives market. He is optimistic about the derivatives industry, saying that while the credit crunch tested the operational models, it was more manageable than it would have been two years ago. T-Zero has been on-boarding new clients to the platform at a healthy clip this year and expects this pace to continue in 2008 as clients and banks increasingly leverage the platform's connectivity and novation functionality.

Internet Capital wird immer mehr Anthem Venture:

messages.finance.yahoo.com/...id=251842&mid=251842&tof=2&frt=1

Die wollte der CEO Buckley von Internet Capital verstecken und bis vor zwei Jahren konnte man von Internet Capital nicht auf diese wertvolle Beteiligungen durchklicken. Aber dann hat er doch Schiss vor der SEC bekommen. Und meinen Berechnungen habe ich das Portfolio von Anthem Venture mit 500 Millionen und die 9% Beteiligung von Internet Capital dementsprechend mit 45 Millionen angesetzt. Es können aber auch wesentlich mehr sein. Z.B. ist die Beteiligung Buzznet die am schnellstens wachsende Seite ihres Genres und in etwa ein Fünftel mal so groß wie Facebook, wächst aber doppelt bis dreimal so schnell. Wenn man nun die 12 Milliarden für Facebook durch 5 teilt, kommt man auf 2.4 Milliarden. Und wenn Anthem Venture, das die Finanzierungsrunde angeführt hat, auch nur 25% gehören, sind das schon 600 Millionen - mehr als ich für das ganze Portfolio aus ca. 15 Beteiligungen angesetzt habe, wobei es andere wie Thisnext.com, Blurb (User verdoppeln sich momentan alle fünf Monate), Solarflace, Axion oder Zag.com auch in sich haben.

der Kurs ist ja tiefer als ich meine vielen tausend letztes Jahr verkauft hatte.Das Ding wird ja immer noch künstlich unten gehalten.Im Nachhinein ist man immer schlauer,die könnten auch leicht schon bei 20 EU stehen.Wie dem auch sei,viel Glück mein Hauptaugenmerk richtet sich im Moment auf PTSC.

das Problem ist, dass im Gegensatz zu anderen Aktien, wo sich das Management gegen Dumping wehrt, hier das Management zumindest kurzfristig zusammenarbeit, weil es sich davon finanzielle Vorteile verspricht. Eigentlich ist das lächerlich, denn es geht da nur um wenige zehntausende Dollar pro Jahr, die sie dadurch bei Aktienoptionen billiger wegkommen. Aber wenn man die kriminelle Gier von US-Bank-Manager sieht, ist das Gebahren eigenlich noch harmlos (vielleicht hat der Buckley aber auch nur Angst, dass er in den Knast kommt, wenn er zu viele gute Fundamentals nicht veröffenlicht)

Deutsche Anleger sollten den Heimvorteil nutzen und morgen massiv zu kaufen versuchen. Dabei sollten die Limits so gewählt werden, dass der Skontrenführer in

Sollte der Skontrenführer seine seit Jahren üblichen Bescheisserspielchen durchführen, solltet Ihr Euch bei Wertpapierhandelsüberwachung des Bafin an der Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse und dem Hessischen Wirtschaftsministerium, das die Frankfurter Börse beaufsichtigt, beschweren.

As e-tailers head into the busy holiday shopping season, this integrated information will become even more important for retailers. While many online shoppers are choosing to buy gift cards for those on their lists, even more will want very specific items. With the online holiday spend expected to reach $33 billion in the United States, retailers who include their information on a shopping comparison site are likely to have much greater revenue than those who go it alone.

Both are competitors of Channelintelligence, Channelintelligence is a smaller company, but with a faster growth and more innovative. In the average for both company was paid about 15-times-revenues and more. Channelintelligence will have revenues between 17 and 20 million in 2007. By 18 million and only 10-times-revenues, the worth of Channelintelligence would be about 180 million and the worth of 41% of Internet Capital have a worth of 75 million.

Shawn Schwegman, former vice president of marketing for Overstock.com, heads the group.

The company continues to look for more senior technical talent, including senior Java and Web developers.

New clients include music and video retailers FYE.com and DeepDiscount.com, and BJ's Wholesale Club Inc., a Massachusetts-based warehouse chain. And if you shop on Target.com or Overstock .com, you're using Vcommerce's system.

Now that it has big-name clients, Vcommerce has to keep them happy, and happy enough to become references. "When we restarted the company, we weren't on the map. We didn't have any client proof that we could actually do what we said we could do," Kennedy said. "As short as a year ago, a lot of our customers were brand-new. Now, we can point to successful implementations that are very large-scale and complex. It's really helping us in the market a lot today."

Bill Mirabito, senior analyst covering e-commerce platforms at Forrester Research Inc., said mergers and strategy changes in the rest of the industry have created opportunities for Vcommerce and its expanded services. That's attractive to retailers who want to outsource their technical side.

And because retailers tend to choose e-commerce partners based on who others are using, Mirabito said, making customers happy is important to growth for the Vcommerce crew.

Kennedy thinks alike. Next to his guitar collection, his office whiteboard lists other retail verticals Vcommerce wants to expand in, including more work in apparel and moving into areas such as automotive.

Re: Read about Creditex in last presentation  (Not rated)      15-Nov-07 04:50 pm     Excellent numbers from an excellent company, but criminal Buckley and his criminal gang with his criminal Mrs. Greene from investor relations makes trials to produce unsecurity about the excellent numbers with two criminal falisifications:

First criminal falsification is part of the formulation "Revenues well over $100 million for 2006, strong EBITDA". Readers should believe, that the revenues was only a little bit above 100 milliion. But in other postings about the merger of Creditex and Credittrade we could read from revenues of 135 million in 2006. And therefore I believe the formulation "Revenues well over $100 million for 2006" is criminal, because they should produce lower estimates than 135 million. The SEC should look at this criminal reporting of criminal Buckley, his criminal CFO and his criminal Mrs. Greene from Investor Relations.

Second criminal formulations is: "ICG’s historical cost carrying value is approximately $25 million". The buy-price of some years ago is a nonavent, when the fair value of today for example is $15o million or more. Remember for example eCredit.com. They were bouhgt from the idiot Buckley for 300 million. In 2006 or 2007 this company was sold from criminal Buckley for nothing to Fidelity. But we could never read in news about this sale from a historical cost carrying value of eCredit.com of 300 million.

Re: Read about Creditex in last presentation  (Not rated)      15-Nov-07 05:49 pm     The big fear of criminal Buckley and his criminal gang is, that investors compare Creditex with competitors. The greatest fear of criminal Buckley and his criminal gang is a comparison with ISE. This is a derivate-exchange with equal revenues like Creditex, only a little bit higher, but with a lower growth. And for this derivative-exchange Deutsche Boerse paid 2.8 billion.

And it is easy to recognize, why criminal Buckley and his criminal gang, don't write from the exact 135 million, what is the excactly worth of revenues of Creditex in 2006, only from more than 100 million. The reason of criminal Buckley and his criminal gang is simple: Investors should not compare Creditex and ISE, who was bought from Deutsche Boerse for 2,8 billion.

Observers say now could be a good time to calculate the value of such companies.

Efforts to improve the administrative side of credit derivatives trading have been under way since the US Federal Reserve summoned 14 leading banks to discuss the issue in October 2005 when there was a huge backlog of unconfirmed trades.

Novation, or the practice of switching an open derivatives contract between parties, is a complex undertaking requiring confirmations from at least three parties. It was one of the biggest sources of problem trades in the past. “Two years ago, we had not processed our first trade: now we are supported by, or are about to be supported by, all of the Fed 14 and we have 142 buyside clients,” Mr Beeston said.

Sunil Hirani, a co-founder of Creditex said: “Record volumes in credit derivatives and volatility in the fixed income markets have highlighted the value of credit derivatives as a risk management tool . . . market participants need the speed, efficiency and order that automation, e-trading, e-processing and credible fixings bring to bear on the market.”

Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2007

Read the following sentences once more, especially the last sentence and you will recognize, that a sale of Creditex is near. Internet Capital owns 15% of Creditex. My estimate of the worth of Creditex is 2 billion.

The news highlights the extent to which specialist technology and service providers have managed to create a cottage industry round a fast growing, private over-the-counter market still mainly conducted by phone and e-mail.

The success of such companies, particularly after the surge in trading surrounding the summer’s credit turmoil, is beginning to lead some to explore how much they might be worth. For example, the owners of Creditex, an inter-dealer broker for credit derivatives, are understood to have attracted interest from potential bidders, some of whom are talking with Evercore, a boutique investment bank.

Creditex is owned jointly by TA Associates, a large US private equity firm with stakes in a number of financial technology companies, investment banks and the company’s management.

Observers say now could be a good time to calculate the value of such companies.


Sentiment : Strong Buy

Also Daxcrash, das mit den Instis scheint nicht ganz so einfach zu sein, da offensichtlich unterschiedliche Abgrenzungen zum Begriff Insti existieren. Ich gehe davon aus, dass Deine Quelle ihre Zahlen von Yahoo übernimmt - die sind dort in der Tat in der von Dir genannten Höhe und waren schon immer niedriger. Die folgenden Zahlen von mir stammen, wie alle meine vorherigen Zahlen auch, direct von der Naadaq. Gehe auf

www.nasdaq.com

und da kannst Du auf sechs Seiten finden, was ich nachstehend zusammenkopiert habe. Allerdings habe ich mich auch gewundert, dass die 89% angeben, denn nach meinen Schätzungen müsste man bei 85%-86% liegen. Und das ist auch so, wie ich jetzt bemerkt habe so, denn die Statistiker von der Nasdaq haben an einer Stelle einen Fehler in ihrer Aufstellung. Den haben sie offensichtlich selbst noch nicht gemerkt und offensichtlich auch noch kein Leser außer mir oder vielleicht doch einer, der wie ich zu faul ist, das an Nasdaq zu mailen. Die haben nämlich Barclays zweimal in ihrer Aufstellung auf der Seite 2 drin, und zwar mit dem 30.6 und 30.9. Daher sind die 89,5% um knapp 4% korrigieren (den Anteil, den Barclays an Internet Capital hält).

Citybank verkauft hat oder verkaufen musste:

CITIGROUP INC 9/30/2007 21,336 (737,332) (97.19%) $243


Immerhin dürften die 10 Millionen Dollar, die sie da erlöst haben, ausgereicht haben, um ein Viertel der Abfindung für den geschassten Vorstandsvorsitzenden zu bezahlen. Da Internet Capital gut im Wert steht, könnte das die Ursache für den geringfügigen Rückgang bei den Institutionals gewesen sein: Man brauchte Cash und mit Internet Capital konnte man gut Cash machen.

Das ist aber meines Erachtens die große Chance für alle, die nicht so unsolide gewirtschaftet haben wie die Citybank ein nach unten extrem gut abgesichertes Papier (extrem niedrige Bewertung und sehr viel Cash) mit sehr hohen Chancen zu erwerben: eine Kombination, die es eigentlich nicht gibt, die Eier legende Wollmilchsau eben.
