Local Corp is a tenbagger and Yelp will have at the end of the year only a third of the value of today

If this will happen, Local Corp's multiple will increase from idiotic low 0.4-times-revenues to 4-times-revenues and the high 27-times-revenues of Yelp will decrease to 9-times-revneues.

And the surprise for you: After this change wiht factor 30 the multiple of Yelp is more than double, too.

The problem is not the result or even the guidance of Yelp, it's what you pay for it. And in Yelp‘s case, investors are paying way too much. Contrary to Yelp that trade at a stratospheric Price/Sales ratio at 17 based on 2014 revenue guidance (market-cap of 6.16 billion and revenues of 355 million in2014), Local Corps's Price/Sales ratio is about 0.4 trailing on the base of the revenues of 2013 and about 0.33-trailing on the base of the estimates for 2014.

Divergenzen noch absurd:

Twitter is extreme overvalued in near any compare
For example: Twitter has only the 7.2-fold revenues of Local Corp, but with 20.62 billion the 549-fold market-cap of the idiotic low 37.55 million of Local Corp. Such a divergence will never lasting.

Local Corp., the company that connects consumers with all local businesses, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013

• Adjusted EBITDA up 12% to $1.3 million in Q3-13 from $1.2 million in Q2-13.

Twitter posted third-quarter revenue of $168.6 million, which compares favorably to its collected $253.6 million in the first half 2013 revenue.
According to its newly refiled S-1 document, Twitter has lost $133.8 million to date in 2013. That compares negatively with its equivalent loss of $70.7 million in 2012. Both loss figures include the results of the first 9 months of the calendar year.

• Adjusted EBITDA up 12% to $1.3 million in Q3-13 from $1.2 million in Q2-13.

Online real estate market Trulia has been a public company for just over a year now, and it’s already seen its share of ups and downs as it dukes it out with competing players like Zillow.The company just dropped its fiscal Q3 2013 earnings (with additional color on Twitter, as usual) — the combined company posted $40.3 million in revenue for the quarter, along with net income of $7 million, which works out to earnings of $0.19 per share. Wait, combined company? Let’s not forget that Trulia acquired Market Leader earlier this year, and this is the first time that Trulia has included its acquisition’s figures into the fold. And as always, those Wall Street analyst types couldn’t keep themselves from projecting: In the days leading up to the release, the analyst consensus as per Yahoo! Finance was for the company to report $37.9 million in quarterly revenue and earnings of about $0.08 per share.

More simple: Local Corp has only 0.4-times-revenues, Trulia about 8-time-revenues - this is a divergence with the factor (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) 20. Such a divergence will never lasting for a longer time. Rational investors sell all shares of extreme overvalued Trulia and buy for the amount shares of extreme undervalued and from the criminal gambino-crime behind The Street Sweeper bashed Local Corp.

- And Local Corp is their biggest help

For legacy advertising-supported media to survive, they need innovative executives who can transform outdated business models.

The two oldest advertising-supported mediums, newspapers and magazines, have been the most devastatingly disrupted by the Internet and, generally, have been the slowest to adapt to the digital revolution. BuzzFeed, Google, Twitter, Facebook and thousands of other news, gossip and social network sites have taken audience bites out of the declining print media industries.

Zillow has only the 2.1 -fold revenues of Local Corp, but with 3.5 billion the 92-fold market-cap of the idiotic low 37.78 million of Local Corp. Such a divergence will never lasting.

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. The guidance for the revenues in 2013 is now 95 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA up 12% to $1.3 million in Q3-13 from $1.2 million in Q2-13. The guidance for the complete revenues in 2013 is now 4.5 million.

Zillow Z its fourth-quarter results today, bringing in record quarterly revenue of $58 million while it also delivered earnings per share of $0.06. These results were well ahead of the $34 million in revenue and $0.02 in earnings per share seen in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the full year of 2013, Zillow saw its revenue climb 69%, from $117 million to $198 million. This increase was attributable to gains seen across all of its business lines: However, the gains in revenue couldn't offset the significant increases in expenses, as Zillow ultimately reported a net loss of $12.5 million in 2013, versus a net income of $6 million in 2012. The company did note that its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA -- which excludes share-based compensation and other expenses -- rose from $25.1 million in 2012 to $29.7 million in 2013.

"As we mentioned above Local Corp. has established strong relationships with regional publishing companies across the county, such as the Boston Herald, the Washington Post, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and many others.

The company arranges to link its proprietary search engine into these publishers online web pages in order to respond to customers who surf the site in search of local information, events, activities and shopping. These searches are almost always of a local nature and the people are favorably disposed to act on the information they receive. As such the local advertisers are much more willing to pay more for "click thrus" from these prospects."  

Near exact prediction of Fankenguru (estimate of Fankenguru was: revenues of 94.6 million and 4.5 million EBITDA)

Key Highlights
Reached fourth quarter revenue of $26.8 million, a 30 percent increase from fourth quarter 2012
