You can still find deals for those last-minute gifts, all from the comfort of your smartphone.

Here are five handy mobile apps to help you avoid being called a scrooge.

Source: Read the complete Artikel at Los Angeles Times

H a v v i t: If users are trying to find deals on specific items, H a v v i t is a useful app for tracking prices. With the app, users can search for the items they want, choose to track them and set the price at which they want the item. If the product goes on sale and its price drops below what the user selected, the app will send the user a notification. Additionally, users can tell the app their favorite stores, brands and products. That information will help H a v v i t present users with items they may want to buy.


Flipp: Old-school shoppers who like checking out store fliers should download Flipp. With this app, users can "favorite" the stores that they frequent. The app will then send them the latest fliers for each retailer that they chose, letting them quickly browse through the weekly deals on their phones.


RedLaser: RedLaser is a handy app to have when shopping in person. The app lets users quickly scan items to find their prices at other stores, making sure users know where the products is available for the lowest cost. The app also helps users quickly find nearby deals and online coupons that are available.


RetailMeNot: The coupon app lets users search their favorite retailers to see if there may be an offer that applies to a purchase they want to make — helping them save a few bucks. Besides online discounts, users can also search the app for their favorite retailers to find in-store offers.


Ebay has been around for years, but it can easily be overlooked. The website rose to prominence as an online auctioning service, but these days, it has become one of the best all-around shopping apps.

dass das Kaufinteresse so niedig ist - da muss ich der Manipulations- und Fälschungsabteilung des Criminal Crime behind The Street Sweeper ein hohes fachliches Lob aussprechen.

Nun könnte ja jemand argumentieren. Dann kauf Du doch - das habe ich schon mit jetzt 94,600 Aktien (was ich in dieser Größenordnung nicht zur Nachahmung enpfehle) doch sehr ausgiebig getan, denn das sind immerhin mehr als 0,4% der ausstehenen Aktien. Und damit habe ich schon einige meiner Streuungsgründsätze verletzt.

Und vergleicht einmal meine Offenheit mit der der Poster vom Criminal Crime behind The Street Sweeper, die nicht einmal offenlegen, ob sie auf der Kauf- oder Verkaufsseite liegen.

Der Grund is mir schon klar: Denn wer den Unternehmensuntegang predigt und heimlich kauft, kann irgendwann vielleicht doch Schwierigkeiten mit der SEC bekommen bzw. sich Klagen von Nackt-Shortselling-Lemmingen einfangen, die momentan vom Criminal Crime behind The Street Sweeper in die Scheiße geritten werden.

Joke of the day: Yelp has only the 2.6-fold revenues of Local Corp, but with 5.43 billion the 145-fold market-cap of the idiotic low 37.55 million of Local Corp

Local Corp., the company that connects consumers with all local businesses, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013
• Sequential revenue growth up 4% to $23.5 million in Q3-13 from $22.7 million in Q2-13.
• Adjusted EBITDA up 12% to $1.3 million in Q3-13 from $1.2 million in Q2-13.

Yelp Inc., the company that connects consumers with great local businesses, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
• Sequential revenue growth up 11.3% to $61.2 million in Q3-13 from $55.0 million in Q2-13.
• Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 was approximately $8.1 million.

Currently Yelp has 70.3 million shares outstanding, which values the company at $5.5 billion. Each quarter, Yelp adds another 750,000 to 1 million shares to its total count due to stock based employee compensation and option awards getting exercised. As soon as the managers of the company are awarded new stock, they tend to drop their stock like a hot potato. For example, on December 30th, the CEO Jeremy Stoppelman exercised options to acquire 14,705 shares and he sold those shares on the very same day. If you look at all his trades in the last couple years, you'll realize that it is very rare that he holds Yelp stocks for more than one day. Whenever he's awarded new stock, he sells it pretty much immediately. They say that executives can sell shares for any reason and it shouldn't be a source of worry, which is something I agree with; however, it is fair to be concerned about the fact that the CEO of the company doesn't want to hold any shares of it and insider sales are increasing the dilution, making the company even more ridiculously overvalued.

Havvit: New Local Product-Inventory App from Local Corp - Monday, December 16, 2013 (Screenwerk)

Local Corp. has released Havvit, a local-shopping app that leverages the Krillion data and infrastructure that it acquired a couple of years ago. The company intends the app to be a stand-alone consumer experience as well as a “showcase” of what can be done with its data.

I found Havvit overall to be a well designed and visually appealing app, though less complete in several respects than Find&Save. The latter is cross platform and has additional features not present in Havvit. However the two are not strictly competitors, Local/Krillion could supply data to Find&Save.

Like Find&Save, Havvit can be customized (follow stores and product categories) and equally supports e-commerce. In addition it has a useful product price-tracking capability not present in Find&Save. But like Find&Save, Havvit doesn’t have product reviews. Krillion product lead (former Krillion CEO) Sherry Thomas-Zon says that reviews are definitely on the roadmap.

Strong Cash Flow from Network: The company's efforts to increase sales from its high-margin Network business could help to generate substantial cash flow in the years ahead.
Local has revved up its sales initiatives within its high-margin Network Publishing
business. This business helps merchants and community websites monetize
consumer traffic through genre-specific advertisements carefully targeted to
consumer interests and local communities. As more revenue accrues from this
business, the company's margin mix should improve leading to more consistent
profits and cash flow.
