Kursverdoppelung bei Actua Corporation (vorm. Internet Capital)

wer nicht auch negative Dinge sehen kann an einer Aktie, der ist nicht objektiv. Deswegen spamst Du den Thread wohl auch zu. Die negativen Dinge, die ich aufgezählt habe, sind nun einmal Fakten.

Und die angeblichen Werte, die Du aufzählst, mögen zwar VIELLEICHT eine ETWAS höhere Börsennotierung als jetzt ermöglichen. Trotzdem kann man doch sachlich bleiben, oder? Du notierst hier nur positive Dinge zur Aktie, niemals negative. Das nenne ich pushen. Man muss, um sich eine Meinung zu bilden auch Risiken abwägen.

Du tust aber so, als ob es völlig sicher wäre, dass die Aktie mehr wert ist. Dann wären längst große Banken eingestiegen.

Und das blabla von irgendwelchen Shorties glaubst du wohl selbst nicht, oder?

die Leser gezielt in die Irre zu führen. Warum nimmst Du z.B. zu meinen Ausführungen nicht Stellungen, dass eine Beteiligugungsgesellschaft nur dann Gewinn erzielen kann (insbesonderere wenn sie Firmen in frühen Stadien kauft, sie über Jahre weiter entwickelt und i.d.R. bei Erreichen der Gewinnschwelle oder einige Zeit danach verkauft), wenn Beteiligungen verkauft werden wie z.B. 2005 als der Gewinn bei 110 Millionen lag oder 2008, wo er durch den Verkauf von Beteiligungen bei bis zu einer Viertelmilliarde liegen kann? Es ist gezielte Täuschung der Leser den Verlust eines Jahres, hier 2007, herauszugreifen, wo keine Verkäufe getätigt wurden. Und wie es um Deine angebliche Objektivität aussieht, kann man sehr gut daran erkennen, das über das Zustandekommen der 30 Millionen Verlust in 2007 kein Wort verloren wird. Den weitaus größten Anteil hatte daran die Rückzahlung einer Wandelschuldverschreibung, die man damals bei Kursen um $4 ausgegeben hatte, und zwar zu 100%. Durch den Kursanstieg der Aktie ging die auf 135%. Nun hat sich aber Internet Capital in 2007 entschlossen, diese Anleihe vorzeitig zurückzuzahlen, um eine Wandlung am Ende der Laufzeit und die damit verbundene Erhöhung der Aktienzahl zu vermeiden. Die Differenz von 135% und 100%, bezogen auf den Nominalwert, muss als Verlust in der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung ausgewiesen werden. Ich bewerte den Vorgang der Rückzahlung der Anleihe als positiv, das Internet Capital nun schuldenfrei ist und eine Verwässerung des Kurses durch ein Mehr an Aktien aus der Wandelschuldverschreibung vermieden wurde.

dann wären längst Banken eingestiegen...

ICGE hat einen verdammt hohen Anteil an Instis als Aktionär

Procurement outsourcing is a growing trend among leading companies that are looking to drive meaningful bottom line cost improvements based on the strength of the value proposition. According to a recent report by Everest Research Group, the savings potential from procurement outsourcing is five times greater than other outsourcing programs such as HR and Finance & Accounting.

Corbett, Chairman, IAOP.

sodass zusammen mit den 95% insgesamt 99% in den Händen von Institutionals und von Insiders sind.

Nach den offiziellen Zahlen haben die Shortseller ca. 10% der ausstehenden Aktien leer verkauft. Ich betone aber, dass sich hier um die offiziellen Zahlen handelt. Vermutlich ist noch einmal die gleiche Prozentzahl oder mehr ohne die vorgeschriebene Ausleihe von Aktien nicht legal leer verkauft worden (naked shortselling). Wie ihr seht, haben wir hier eine sehr brisante Mischung, die sich bei der angekündigten Monetarisierung in einem Knall nach oben entladen wird.

Shortselling-Operationen in der Geschichte der Wallstreet, gegen 95% Anteil an den umlaufenden Aktien von Institutionals mit Fidelity an der Spitze und 4% umlaufenden Aktien des Managements = 99%, werden wir erleben, wenn in den nächsten Wochen Metastorm sein S1-Filing absetzt oder eine andere Form der Monetarisierung konkreter wird:

IPO-Filing of Metastorm will start in the second quarter     1 minute ago     With about 100 million revenues and more in 2008 and net incomes since the last 12 quarters the market-cap will be about a half billion.

Internet Capital owns 32%.

I am sure, we will see a S1-filing in the next weeks.  

durch eure sachliche Argumentation. Ich gebe es zu: Ich schreibe für BIG SHORT!!!!!!

also der Zug ist abgefahren. Vor 10Tagen war wohl der Boden, noch gibts welche in FRA für Schnäppchenpreise um 6,45€!

nur nicht mehr lange

dürfte heute klar geworden sein, als die Holding ihre Zahlen veröffentlicht, wo nur zwei Beteiligungen enhalten sind, von nur ICGCommerce Umsätze hat:

Revenues of ICGCommerce was 14 million in the fourth quarter of 2007     27 second(s) ago     because only ICGCommcerce and Investoreforce was consolidated companies, but Investorforce have after a sale of the activities no revenues today. Therefore all revenues of newest numbers of the holding must be revenues of ICGCommerce. There are litte bit lower, than I thought, but I believe, they are okay. The growth-rate of revenues of ICGCommere is between 25% and 30% - that are about 6% in a quarter.

The result are the follow numbers (base are 14 million revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007):

1. quarter 2008 = 14,8 million

2. quarter 2008 = 15,7 million

3. quarter 2008 = 16,6 million

4. quarter 2008 = 17,6 million


That's all together near 65 million revenues in 2008. By a very conserative 4-times-revenues the worth of ICGCommer = 250 million. Internet Capital owns 65%.

Dazu möchte ich noch anmerken, dass ICGCommerce nur eine von 15 Beteiligungen ist, von denen vier ähnlich viel Wert sie wie ICGCommerce. Vielleicht erinnert Ihr Euch in diesem Zusammenhang an den Redakteur vom Aktionär, der annahm, das Internet Capital nur aus dieser einen Beteiliung bestehe. Vermutlich ist der dabei nicht allein, was Euch aber ermöglicht zuzuschlagen, ehe viel ihren "Aktionärs"-Irrtum bemerken.  

Hallo Maggus,
klasse Antwort hast Du gegeben !!
Du mußtest gar nicht auf die inhaltlichen Aspekte Deiner Kritiker eingehen.
Da hättest Du ja auch schlecht abgeschnitten...z.B.die Nummer mit den angeblich nicht investierten Banken...

Nein - Du hast es clever gelöst: einfach so tun, als hätte man gesagt, DU WÄREST BIG SHORT

einfach so ohne Begründung hättte man Dir das angehängt.

Klar, die Realität ist diametral gegenüber.
Aber einfach so tun und das dann ironisch verdoppeln indem Du es einfach noch mal hinschreibst..

Klasse Idee. Jeder Idiot wird Dir glauben.

Aber mal im Ernst: Wer ist so blöd und läßt sich durch die Ablenkung vom INHALT
irritieren...

Geh mal in den Profi-Basher-Kurs, damit Du wenistens eines kannst

 Re: Internet Capital owns 5% of Emptoris     6 minutes ago     With revenues near 200 million in 2008 Emptoris is a one-billion-ipo-candidate for 2008. First rumors about an ipo you could hear one year ago.  

25 Tage um ihre leer verkauften Aktien einzudecken - und dabei dürften nur sie als Käufer auftreten. Das riecht nach einem Shortsquezze.

Industry standard novation workflow to allow novation consent on T+0
•
Automation that promotes industry standards including ISDA Novation Protocol II
•
Point-and-click support for complex novation operations including:
-
Block novation of trades originally allocated across multiple funds
-
SuperBlockTM novation of an entire trading position composed of multiple trades
-
Partial novations where only a percentage of the original notional is transferred
-
Prime broker 3-party “stay-in” and 4-party “step-out” novations
•
Global front-office distribution of novation functionality via Bloomberg Professional
In a little more than two years since launch, T-Zero has been adopted by over 180 buy-side firms and most major dealers and prime brokers. The platform's open architecture integration framework, known as AgnosticConnectivityTM, has allowed it to API-connect directly to the front-office systems of dealers and prime brokers as well as buy-side firms. The model allows T-Zero to provide counterparties with real-time notification of trade details and T+0 resolution of trade-entry errors via industry standard electronic workflow.
“Our clients recognize the need for scaleability to accommodate growth,” said Clive de Ruig, Head of T-Zero, North America. “Novations+ was developed in collaboration with our dealer and buy-side clients to dramatically improve the industry’s ability to handle exponentially increasing trade volumes.”
“We are very pleased to have implemented Novations+,” said Tetsuya Akutsu, Senior Vice President, Mizuho Alternative Investments, LLC. “We are using it to fully automate our novation processing and to improve our operational efficiency with the major dealers.”
“We have been a T-Zero user for well over a year now and it has clearly improved operational efficiency and reduced risk,” said Paul Winter, Head of Derivatives Operations at Fortis Investment Management. “We have evaluated many platforms and some are still developing what has been on T-Zero all along. Novations+ is a significant leap beyond anything else that is out there.”

 Re: News from Tzero     4 second(s) ago     Tzero is an subsidiary of Creditex.

Internet Capital owns 15% of Creditex.  

No chance for shortsellers and therefore my advice: Go panic, before BIG SHORT will go panic. But you can go panic first, but BIG SHORT can't - bigger covering will produce big jumps.

Additional informations for buyer: You should have bought, before BIG SHORT and criminal naked shorters will/must cover.

Additional we have a lot of not legal naked shortselling, which isn't part of this numbers.  

am Beispiel des Yahoo-Boards

messages.finance.yahoo.com/..._Z%29/Stocks_I/forumview?bn=9069


Seit Monaten hat der wohl größte legale oder kriminelle nackte Shortseller (wer weiss das schon, da das die SEC zumindest bisher nicht kontrolliert) Tag und Nacht jemanden sitzen, der das Yahoo-Board manipuliert. Durch ein 1-star-rating kann man nämlich nicht gewünschte Informationen verschwinden lassen. Wenn es sein muss, produziert der nackte Shortseller, vermutlich ein Hedge-Fund, so viele ID's mit Bewertungen, wie er benötigt, 3 oder 9 oder 19 oder 100 oder 1000. Seltsam ist, dass Yahoo diese Manipulationen toleriet und die SEC auch - obwohl ich zugeben muss, dass das Unterbinden recht schwierig ist.

Probiert das selber einmal aus, indem Ihr zunächst einmal die Voreinstellung "2 star + unrated" toliert, Euch die dortigen Postings merkt, und dann die Voreinstellung "1 star + unrated" wählt. Vergleicht dann einmal die Posting bei beiden Einstellungen - nehmt Euch die Zeit und geht bis zum Jahresanfang zurück. Ihr werdet überrascht sein, über die wohl umfangreichste Manipulation eines Internet-Boards in der Geschichte des Internets. Das will schon etwas heißen - und zeigt die gigantische Angst vor dem nahen Shortsquezze, sodass man Montag am besten schon in Frankfurt kauft, ehe die Amis aufmachen.  

gebracht hat, müsst Ihr nur etwas weiter nach oben scrollen - durch Behauptungen aus dem hohlen Bauch heraus, ohne auch nur eine Sekunde für eine konkrete Recherche zu verschwenden.

Retailers pay on a cost-per-action (CPA) basis only when a sale is made - no costs for curiosity clicks.
Since consumers are acting on the referral of a trusted manufacturer brand, the conversion rates are excellent – twice that of regular comparison shopping engines!

With thousands of retailers and hundreds of manufacturers, the CI Ad Network is already the 6th largest comparison shopping engine – this is one network you can’t afford not to be a part of!

Expedia shares rally on takeover rumor
Tuesday April 1, 3:43 pm ET

"Call buyers surfaced in Expedia Inc this morning as unsubstantiated rumors surfaced stating that Google Inc could make a bid for the company," said Susquehanna Financial Group's market intelligence team in a note to clients.

The talk was prominent in the equities options market where sentiment was 67 percent bullish as about 8,000 calls compared with 600 puts changed hands in Expedia, seven times the normal combined volume, according to option analytics firm Trade Alert.

Expedia's April $22.50 and $25 calls, giving investors the right to buy Expedia shares at $22.50 and $25 apiece. The options active on talk Google might be interested in the company, said independent options trader Frederic Ruffy.

Expedia is the largest U.S. online travel agency. Its shares were up 9.46 percent at $23.96 in late afternoon trading on Nasdaq, but still down more than 30 percent from their peak in October last year.

An Expedia spokeswoman said the company does not comment on rumors and speculation.

The shares of rivals Priceline.com Inc (NasdaqGS:PCLN - News) and Orbitz Worldwide Inc (NYSE:OWW - News) were up 5.54 percent and 4.35 percent, respectively.

auch aus steuerlichen Gründen - und zwar besser als Fonds und Dachfonds. Denn nach den neuesten Überlegung im Finanzministerium sollen die nur Käufe innerhalb der Fonds steuerfrei bleiben, die bis zum 31.2.2008 erfolgt sind. Bei Umschichtungen innerhalb der Fonds nach diesem Termin sollen die aus den Umschichtungen entstehenden Kursgewinne steuerpflichtig werden.

Das Problem von Internet Capital ist zur Zeit, dass der IPO-Markt in den USA nicht ergiebig ist, sodass an der Fähigkeit von Internet Capital, Monetarisierungen hinzubekommen gezweifelt wird. Zwar könnte man Unternehmen auch ohne IPO verkaufen, aber das Wissen um die momentan nicht vorhandene Ausgangstür "IPO" stärkt nicht die Verhandlungspositionen beim Verkauf. Das sind die Gründe, dass wir noch keine der für 2008 angekündigten mindestens zwei Monetarisierung gesehen haben. Da Internet Capital aber auf sehr hohen Cash- und Wertpapierbeständen sitzt (meines Erachten sogar zu hohen), können die die momentane IPO-Schwächephase in aller Ruhe aussitzen.

 Re: Sehr geehrter flankinking      3-Apr-08 03:46 pm     Das sollten deutsche Anleger nicht lesen können 3-Apr-08 12:09 pm denn schon nach fünf Minuten hatten nackte Shortseller die nachstehende Message durch "1 star + unrated" versteckt. Ich haben verschiedentlich schon Mails bekommen, dass das nicht legale nackte Shorten zumindest teilweise von deutschen Adressen käme. Zwar habe ich das nie so richtig ernst genommen, aber vielleicht ist da doch etwas dran und erklärt, warum die SEC bisher nichts unternommen hat bzw. unternehmen konnte. Vielleicht sollte die SEC einmal über die Rechtshilfe versuchen, das geltende US-Recht durchzusetzen. Rating :

 Re: Sehr geehrter flankinking     52 minutes ago     Und lasst Euch von dem Schwachkopf im Ausgangsposting, der deutschsprachig ist, nicht verarschen.

Beispielsweise ist im vierten Quartal der Anteil der Instiutionals von 89% auf 95% gestiegen. Die Shortseller sind in etwa gleich geblieben. Wer kommt da als Verkäufer der 6% in Frage? Eigentlich nur private Investoren. Das kann aber wiederum nicht sein, denn wenn man sich einmal die Anteile der Privaten an den Umsätzen bei Tomphson Financial ansieht, kommen die bei den durchschnittlichen Tagesumsätzen und ihren Prozentanteilen nicht auf diesen Wert, selbst wenn alle Private nur verkauft und kein einziger auch nur ein Stück gekauft hätte.

Die Schlussfolgerung ist simpel: Hier wurde massiv leer verkauft, ohne dass dies in den offiziellen Leerverkaufszahlen auftaucht. Nach dem gelten US-Recht ist das eine kriminelle Handlung, die von der SEC verfolgt werden müsste. Entweder schläft die SEC oder ihr Arm reicht nicht dort hin, wo die Kriminellen sind. Allerdings geht dieses Spiel nicht ohne kriminelle US-Broker, die bisher nicht von der SEC kontrolliert wurden. Rating :
