und bin auch schon eingestiegen,werde aber noch aufstocken !! Die einzige Frage ist,ob man alles auf eine Karte setzen sollte,oder vielleicht noch in Move inc. zusätzlich einsteigen sollte ? Während Local erst in 2015 die Gewinnschwelle erreicht,wird das Immoportal Move gerade profitabel und die Gewinne sollen angeblich explodieren,immerhin war die aktie schon 350 dollar wert und notiert aktuell bei 12 dollar,was hälst du davon Libuda ? Ich tendiere aber eher dazu alles auf Local zu setzen ,bin mir aber nicht sicher .......

sodass ich dazu keine Aussage machen kann - und ich investiere nur auf fundamentaler Basis, und zar einer sehr intensiv recherchieren

finance.yahoo.com/video/...etitors-eye-alibabas-051222227.html

Davon könnte Local Corp beispielsweise profitieren, Move wohl eher nicht.

Sehe da heute keine Aufgabe von den Shorties , bei LOCM shorten nicht kleine dumme ......m.M.
Hier dreht vll. jemand sehr Großes am Rad , das wird noch ein bisschen so weiter gehen.Der "Deckel" fliegt heute sicher nicht weg.
ASK wird unendlich Aufgefüllt.
Die AG muss sich über ein aktives Investor Relation stärker arrangieren  , abhalten von mehr Investoren Konferenzen, dann "decken"sich die Analysten ein und danach die Kaufempfehlungen. Davon brauchen wir viel mehr,erst danach werden die Shorties "brennen"
Das dauert noch......

Sold-Outs:

New Positions of 1,003,523 shares are the 30-fold of the Sold Out Positions of 33,439 shares.

Yahoo will never buy Yelp, which has near no INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY and is extreme overvalued.

"Local Corp. has strong technology and IP portfolio with a proprietary platform and expertise. Local Corp. has 12 patents and 7 patents pending. Local's patent's include web indexing (for indexing local web sites across the web), pay-per-call for local and commercial searches via a mobile device (multiple patents), dynamic cascading menu search (for product search on tablets and smartphones), bulk domain registration and content management (for very large-scale SEO). Local is attempting to monetize its IP. Local received a favorable Markman ruling against Fry Electronics. Another Seeking Alpha contributor wrote a good article on the potential for monetization.

Nach meinen Beobachtungen sind die offiziell veröffentlichten Shortselling-Zahlen bei Local Corp nur die Spitze des Eisbergs, denn das Nackte Shortseliing ist in diesen Zahlen nicht enthalten. Denn das ist in den USA weitgehend verboten - und logischerweise meldet niemand verbotene Geschäfte.

Nun stellt sich die Frage: Werden die nackten Shortseller bei ihren illegalen Geschäft erwischt? Radio Eriwan hätte dazu früher geantwortet: Im Prinzip ist das schon möglich, aber da die SEC niemanden erwischen will, kommt es nicht vor. Ein Verkäufer eines Wertpapier muss nämlich mit einem Kreuz auf einem Formular nur erklären, dass er liefern kann - nachprüfen tut das niemand. Und auch wenn der Broker weiss, dass der Verkäufer keine Wertpapierleihe abgeschlossen hat, um liefern zu können, ist ihm das schiessegal - Hauptsache er bekommt seine Verkaufsprovision (vorausgesetzt allerdings, dass der Verkäufer kapitalkräftig ist und seine Verpflichtungen erfüllen kann).

positive 3.0 million in 2013 - not only positive 0.8 million like reported, if the growth of Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable were equal

Cash 12-31-12: $3.7 million
Cash 12-31-13: $5.1 million
Increase of cash: $1.4 million
Increase of Accounts Receivable: 6.6 million
Complete Increases of Cash and Accounts Receivable: 8 million

Debt 12-31-12 : $10.0 million
Debt 12-31-13: $12.7 million
Increase of debts: $2.7 million
Increase of Accounts Payable: 4.4 million
Complete Increase of debts and Accounts Payabl: 7.1 million

And the difference are the reported 0.9 million positive Cash Flow from operations, which were 3.0 million by a simultan increase of Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.

Case Study: Ace Hardware Uses Mobile Tools to Drive Shoppers In-Store
Merchant: Ace Hardware
Location: Worldwide
Size: 4,700 locations
Bottom Line: Adding location-based technology to a mobile app encourages online shoppers to make purchases in-store.

The trend toward consumers making purchases on the web isn’t slowing down — with 70% of those surveyed in 2013 reporting that they prefer shopping online — however national hardware chain Ace Hardware is doing its part to bring online shoppers back in-store. The company has recently debuted a new mobile iPhone application, meant to enhance the shopping experience and encourage customers to complete their transaction at local Ace Hardware locations.

“It allows the consumer to find more information about what they’re standing in front of, the product they’re looking at,” says Mark Lowe, Ace’s e-commerce marketing, and digital department manager. “

E-Commerce Style Big Data Analytics Meet Brick And Mortar Retailers

Online stores have been testing their sites for years, playing with the design, figuring out where items should be positioned to catch the eyes of shoppers, figuring out how to position first, second and third offers or suggest followup purchases.

Brick and mortar stores have not only been stuck without those types of analytics, they have also suffered the ignominy of serving as real-world catalog showrooms for the e-commerce companies — buyers will visit stores like Best Buy and often, in the store of all the nerve, check inventory against pricing from Amazon.

Now the physical stores have tools to collect data on their shoppers by monitoring their movement, and their pauses, as they move around the aisles of real stores. Less
