werden Postings, die Teile des Interviews von Fred Thiel wiedergeben auf Yahoo von den dortigen Webmaster massiv geblockt.

Warum das so ist, dazu braucht man meines Erachtens nur wenig Fantasie.

bei einer Marktkapitalisierung von Local Corp von heute 18 Millionen bei 83 Millionen Umsatz in 2014 (Quelle: Company Overview - January 2015) ins Schwitzen kommt, wenn man in der Quelle in #7955 liest, ist nachvollziehbar,

Eine besonders interessante Stelle:

"In any given month, Local Corp. creates billions of advertising impressions, holding approximately 10 percent of the U.S. Internet population who search for products and services offered by the company’s clients.


“We touch a lot of people, and that gives us a lot of insight into what people are looking for, what they want to buy, where they want to buy it,” Thiel says.

They are leading the charge in giving consumers the ability to interact with pertinent advertising in unusual places, like refrigerators and shop windows."

Local Corp. has been able to stay forward in its industry. With 13 patents already under its belt and additional ones pending, the company continues to captivate the passion and innovation of its employees.



“It’s an industry where if you have the right idea and you’re able to execute at the right time in the right way and you have the right partners, you can be hugely successful.



“We spend, as an organization at the executive level, lots of time on the creative side of the business as well the execution side of the business,” Thiel says.



He stresses the importance of being aware of what’s going on in your industry and constantly considering what could happen. Your efforts to prepare and to make sure there is a plan set to handle such unexpected risks can pay huge dividends.



“Don’t be complacent. The uncertainty is just around the bend,” Thiel says. “It’s a lot easier when the avalanche hits to already know what you’re already supposed to do rather than to be trying to figure it out while the snow is pushing you down the hill.”

"Despite the constant external risks of copycats and plagiarizers and the always-present competition, Thiel still firmly believes in sharing Local Corp.’s ideas and patents, especially its business process patents, so long as they are compensated. In fact, he encourages the sharing.

“Patents don’t have to be secrets so much as it’s a way to protect something you invented. If other people want to emulate it, that’s great!” Thiel says.

Thiel explains that each company is at a particular stage in its life cycle, and that the company needs a certain leader at varying points along each stage.

In the early stages, a company must have someone who has a vision and is not going to budge. As it matures, the company should focus on its customers and meeting their current and future needs. As a company expands, its leader needs to understand potential, fatal risks.

Being a 15-year-old company, Local Corp. has moved to the last cycle. It continues to grow in size and stature, allowing Thiel to guide his team while handling the risks and threats that come its way.

“It’s really been a very rewarding experience to get everybody very focused and passionate about a common vision and achieving a common outcome. And we’ve been marching in that direction ever since,” Thiel says."

Journalist Sues SEC to Get Naked Short Selling Files - My advice for small shortsellers: You can cover now without a big jump - big shortsellers only with a shortsquezze.

Lawsuit Filed in Chicago Seeks to Tear Down SEC's Veil of Secrecy

CHICAGO, IL, May 29, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- A lawsuit has been filed under the Freedom of Information Act against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to obtain the agency's investigative files relating to more than a dozen aborted investigations and cases involving naked short selling. The complaint was filed on behalf of Mark Mitchell, an investigative journalist who publishes on deepcapture, a website that offers in-depth reports on the extent to which naked short selling pervades the US capital markets.

According to the complaint, naked short selling has flourished over the past decade because of regulatory loopholes designed by Wall Street and embedded into law by the SEC. Although the SEC created a regulation in 2005 -- Regulation SHO -- that was supposed to stop the practice, Mitchell claims the SEC's Enforcement Division rarely enforced the regulation.

Only idiots ignore, that the revenues was lower but the cost of revenues, too, and in the result the EBITDA is unchanged

Fiscal Year 2014 of Local Corp
Full year 2014 revenue is expected to be between $82.8 million and $83.3 million, compared with prior guidance of $87 million to $90 million. Full year 2014 net loss is expected to be in the range of $5.5 million to $5.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA* is expected to be in the range of $2.2 million to $2.4 million, in line with previous guidance of $2.0 million to $2.4 million. (Source: Preelminary Guidance of Local Corp)

If you buy potatoes for $10 and sell it for $15, you win $5. And if you buy potatoes for $7 and sell it for $ 12, you win $5. Same happened by Local Corp: Local Corp had lower revenues from bought traffic and must pay less for this traffic.

Because a lot of idiots don't understand this simple interdependence, the situation of today is a reason for a strong buy.

Every $1 revenues of competitor XO-Group has the 14-fold valuation of $1 reveneus of Local Corp

Total revenue of XO Group for the third quarter of 2014 was $35.9 million, up 5.6% compared to the same period in the prior year. Net income for the quarter was $2.1 million or $0.08 per share – that are about the double revenues of Local Corp. But XO-Group has with 432 million revenues the 28-fold revenues of the idiotic low 15.33 milllion of Local Corp.

SEC mehr profitieren wie Local Corp, wo naked shortselling und washtrading nach meinen Beobachtungen der Alltag sind:

Deep Capture Files Major Lawsuit Against the SEC

Posted on 10 June 2014 by Mark Mitchell

I have filed a lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which previously failed to respond adequately to my Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking SEC documents related to the SEC’s various investigations (and failure to perform adequate investigations) of naked short selling crimes that undermined the stability of the American financial System

I have filed the lawsuit with help from Gary Aguirre, a former senior enforcement official with the SEC, famous for having blown the whistle on the protection that top SEC officials were providing to hedge fund Pequot Capital and Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack.

Aguirre made headlines in 2006 by reporting in Congressional testimony that he had been improperly fired by the SEC after complaining that top SEC officials had derailed an investigation into an insider trading scheme perpetrated by Pequot Capital, and that the investigation had likely been derailed because the Aguirre had also been investigating Mack in connection with the insider trading, while Aguirre’s supervisor at the SEC was preparing to take a job with Mack’s law firm.
What did not make the headlines was the fact that Aguirre reported in that same Congressional testimony that when he was improperly fired, he had been investigating not only insider trading, but also naked short selling. “The investigation was two-pronged,” Aguirre reported to Congress. One prong concerned “insider trading.” However, the second, and far more important prong, concerned “market manipulation” and, more specifically, “two suspected violations: wash sales and naked shorts.”
