Meines Erachtens wären mehr als 100 Millionen angemessen, wenn man einmal mit Mitwettbewerbern wie Alibaba und anderen vergleicht, die teilweise um den Faktor 10 bis 50 höher bewertet werden.
Ein sensationeller Rückgang Libuda 18.03.09 15:28
US-Leistungsbilanzdefizit geht zurück
14:24 18.03.09
Washington (aktiencheck.de AG) - Das US-amerikanische Leistungsbilanzdefizit wies im Schlussquartal 2008 einen Rückgang aus. Dies teilte das US-Handelsministerium in Washington am Mittwoch mit.
Demnach verringerte sich das Defizit um 27 Prozent auf 132,8 Mrd. Dollar, während Volkswirte nur einen Rückgang auf 137,1 Mrd. Dollar prognostiziert hatten. Hierbei handelt es sich um den niedrigsten Stand seit dem vierten Quartal 2003.
Für das dritte Quartal 2008 wurde der Passivsaldo auf 181,3 Mrd. Dollar korrigiert. Vorläufig war noch ein Fehlbetrag in Höhe von 174,1 Mrd. Dollar ausgewiesen worden.
Im Gesamtjahr schrumpfte das Leistungsbilanzdefizit um 8 Prozent auf 673,3 Mrd. Dollar, nach 731,2 Mrd. Dollar in 2007. (18.03.2009/ac/n/m)
Ich sag mal, hier ist Manipu dabei, dass große Rad zu drehen.
Die größten Manipulationen durch Shortseller haben allerdings bei der börsennotierten Internet Capital-Beteiliungen Goindustry stattgefunden. Denn es gibt hier keinerlei Gründe dafür, dass sich der Wert gegenüber dem Erscheinen dieses Artikel vor etwas fünf Monaten noch einmal ungefähr im Kurs drittelte.
Market maker: GoIndustry-Dovebid plc
31 October 2008
Late last year work started on dismantling one of the largest mining excavators in Europe. It was the first stage in a plan to ship the 4,000 tonne machine across the Atlantic to a new mine in Mississippi. Stretching the length of a football pitch and costing £15 million just 15 years ago, the Ace of Spades was sold by UK Coal to North American Coal for £5 million.
It’s a deal that brings a smile to the face of John Allbrook, the chief executive of AIM listed auction business GoIndustry-Dovebid plc. His company brokered the sale and took a 15% fee on the back of it.
GoIndustry-Dovebid is essentially the eBay of industrial machinery, except it does a lot more. By making markets in its chosen verticals – which among others include industrials, technology and automotive – Allbrook’s team has reinvented itself as a valuable partner to some very big companies when it comes to buying and selling just about anything.
“Reinvented” is a fair assessment too because despite a history dating back to 1999, Allbrook says the company only really found its feet when it was admitted to AIM back in January 2006. Joining from GE in December 2004, and followed by new finance director David Horne in May 2006, Allbrook has steered a new path for the business based on its eBay-like online auctions.
That strategy got a substantial boost earlier this year when the predominantly Europe-oriented business acquired US rival Dovebid in a move that now values it at around £30 million and puts it well-ahead of its nearest competitors.
Allbrook and Horne are now concentrating on integrating the companies and are very likely to see brisk business in the coming months as global economic woes unleash a cavalcade of corporate restructurings and industrial sell-offs.
Changing an industry
“This business was a child of the dot.com era and then became an orphan of the dot.com era,” Allbrook explains.
It’s a familiar story. GoIndustry started life with a series of bricks and mortar acquisitions which it then tried to convert to an online business model. In the UK those purchases included the renowned auctioneering business Henry Butcher in 2000. According to Allbrook, the point at which the business seemed to be making progress was also the moment when the internet bubble burst. “It became a company that just survived,” he says.
“I was brought in to turn it around and make the most of the opportunity. It was one of these things where it wasn’t like an eBay where you could just set up a website and start trading; we were actually changing an industry, and that’s how it has evolved.”
Allbook’s first move was to try and sort out a legacy of earn-outs, debts and progress payments which ultimately saw the business opt to join AIM – a decision he says seemed a “perfect way” of resolving those issues.
“We reversed into a cash shell which worked well because we got the cash in the cash shell, we eliminated all the debt by turning it into equity and we started to build an institutional shareholder base. As we went through the listing process it also gave me the opportunity to take a much closer look at the balance sheet and clean it out. So we started with a relatively clean sheet of paper in January 2006.”
Ten years ago everything GoIndustry did was offline and in Allbrook’s words it was “the hearse of manufacturing corporations”. When those businesses collapsed GoIndustry was brought in by bankruptcy and insolvency practises to mop up. These days, that cyclical business of managing distressed assets represents just 20% of its operations. The rest – driven in no small part by the internet – is as a business process outsourcing service to major corporations.
Together with Dovebid, for which it paid around £17 million in cash and shares, the company is now running predominantly online auctions with annual gross asset sales (the hammer price of goods sold at auction) in the region of US$300 million. It is also now bigger than its next seven or eight competitors combined.
As far as core services go, there are three main strands. First, it provides asset exchanges where multinational manufacturers can redistribute machinery to their different plants around the world. If those assets fail to find a home they are sold on one of the company’s monthly online auctions.
Second, it helps companies carry out phased reductions or restructuring over a period of time, essentially by handling online asset sales. And third, it works with financial institutions to value company assets as part of asset finance deals.
“When the internet first came on the scene we started to do web-cast auctions and then moved it all online,” Allbrook says. “The momentum built so quickly that we haven’t actually done a live auction in the UK in the last two years. But most of our competitors really haven’t got past those live auctions and web-casts and very few of them have stepped outside the States. So there is very limited international competition.”
Asset knowledge
GoIndustry-Dovebid’s business now hinges on its team of staff who have lived their lives valuing and working inside industrial machinery and equipment. “That’s one of the biggest barriers to entry and one of our biggest strengths”, Allbrook says.
“We’ve also got a very strong blue chip client base which has really evolved over the last eight or nine years. Bringing the two businesses together also meant that the number of those corporate relationships jumped, which is good because it brings us a strong forward flow of assets the whole time as opposed to relying on companies going out of business. We’ve now got about 400 people and we’re in 28 countries.”
The market for selling used manufacturing equipment is estimated to be worth US$325 billion, although only 7% - 8% of that actually finds its way to auction; the rest is handled by used equipment or scrap dealers. GoIndustry-Dovebid’s verticals account for about US$93 billion, with it holding back from markets including construction, mining and office equipment.
“Automotive is probably the largest space we operate in because it is in a huge global restructuring at the moment,” Allbrook says. “We’ve got the major Detroit players, some of the European and Japanese players and then we’ve got automotive parts suppliers. Biopharma is also very big because of the huge turnover of surplus machinery and this year the big shift has been in to printing. The printing industry is so distressed because of the emergence of digital that there is very heavy demand for the equipment.”
And whereas auctioneers have traditionally adopted a caveat emptor - buyer beware approach, Allbrook says GoIndustry-Dovebid is moving towards a different – potentially lucrative – place where buyers get better service and are assisted on issues such as packing and shipping costs.
“At the centre of everything we do, and the biggest barrier to entry for anyone else, is the knowledge of the assets, how to value them, the understanding of the industries we serve and how we make markets in these assets,” he says.
“We had an inaugural profit in 2006 and we made about £0.7 million last year so we’re on the right trajectory. At the time of the deal, Dovebid had a turnaround management team on board and was losing £0.7 million. We were making about the same; and so together we were breaking even. But there were a lot of cost synergies involved – about £5 million annually of costs – and that’s where we’ve been focused.”
One downside was the loss of a number of its sales team during the later stages of negotiations with Dovebid, as uncertainty took hold. The exodus impacted on the company’s early revenue expectations but Allbrook and Horne have since recovered the situation.
“We were profitable in March, April, May and June and Q2 revenues were good, Q3 is looking good and Q4 is building nicely,” he says. “But in terms of the deal itself and the integration costs we’d planned, we’re right on the money with it.”
And with a new website just launched, the company can now focus on the task at hand – including managing a steady flow of weird and wonderful assets turning up on its online auctions. “We sold half a million pairs of wellington boots to B&Q a while back,” Allbrook says. “A lender had secured a loan on the wellies of a manufacturing business that failed. I think B&Q went on to sell them a few weeks later in the January sales.”

Offensichtlich hat das Management da noch nicht einmal etwas dagegen, denn Internet Capital wird sich wahrscheinlich auf Jahre hinaus nicht über den Kapitalmarkt durch eigene Aktien finanzieren müssen (wie letztmals in 2004 geschehen), sondern schwimmt in Cash und wird durch Monetarisierungen noch mehr in Cash schwimmen.

Oracle verdient im 3. Quartal mehr als erwartet – Erstmals Dividendenzahlung
21:23 18.03.09
REDWOOD SHORES (dpa-AFX) - Der US-Softwarekonzern und SAP-Konkurrent Oracle (Profil) hat im dritten Geschäftsquartal mehr verdient alsl von Experten erwartet. Der bereinigte Gewinn je Aktie sei zum entsprechenden Vorjahreszeitraum um 16 Prozent auf 0,35 US-Dollar geklettert, teilte das Unternehmen am Mittwoch in Redwood Shores mit. Analysten hatten hingegen nur mit 0,32 Dollar gerechnet. Der Umsatz erhöhte sich wie von Experten vorhergesagt um 2 Prozent auf 5,5 Milliarden Dollar. Das Unternehmen will zum ersten Mal in seiner Geschichte eine Quartalsdividende von fünf Cent je Anteilsschein ausschütten. Im nachbörslichen Handel sprangen Oracle-Papiere um 6,63 Prozent nach oben auf 16,88 Dollar./he
Es ist aber nicht anzunehmen, dass der Euro weiter steigt, da die USA ihr Leistungsbilanzdefizit allein in einem Quartal um ein Viertel abgebaut haben. Die heutigen Ankündigen von Interventionen am Kapitalmarkt und die damit verbundenen niedrigern US-Kapitalmarktzinsen waren die richtige amerikanische Kampfansage an die Egomanen Zum Brechen (= EZB) und den Egomanen zum Erbrechen Steinbrück, die versuchen mit einer Beggar-my-Neighbour-Policy aus den 30er Jahren, den Weltkonsens zu zerstören.
Da reden woanders die Propheten aber ganz anders alá Godemode:
"Bei 1,3481 USD notiert EUR/USD derzeit, der beschriebene Kurszielbereich für die Aufwertungsphase liegt bei ca. 1,45 USD. Aber Achtung. Die Dynamik des heutigen Anstiegs ist extrem. Stellen Sie sich einen schwere Eisenkugel vor, die ein Mensch nach vorne wuchtet. Diese Kugel wird auf ihrer Bahn alles mit sich reißen, was sich ihr in den Weg stellt. Insofern muß aufgrund der Explosivität des Anstiegs darauf hingewiesen werden, dass ein Anstieg möglicherweise direkt weiter verlaufen könnte bis 1,5300 USD".
Bin mal gespannt wer recht behalten wird
Zudem sind die Zinsen nur eine Argument, und zwar das kurzfristige.
Das mittelfristige Argument sind die Leistungsbilanzen. Hier bauen die USA ihre Defizite mit sensationeller Geschwindigkeit - wie oben gelesen allein im letzten Quartal beim Handel um ein Viertel. Das spricht für einen fallenden Euro - vor allem wenn der Abbau auch nur annähernd so schnell weitergeht.
Das langfristige Argumente ist die Kaufkräftparität, zu der die Kurse immer wieder zürückgehen - sowie das Hünchen an der Leine, das einmal weiter wegläuft, aber wieder zum Herrchen zurückkehrt. Und die Kaufkraftparität liegt je nach Berechnungsweise bei 1,12 bei 1,18. Und sie wird nicht wie jetzt seit Jahren nach oben überschossen, sondern wie wir aus den ersten Zeiten des Euros wissen, auch nach oben.
Daher sollte man sich nicht verblöden lassen und nicht jedes Bildergeschichtlein wie das nachfolgende für Ernst nehmen, das kein ernsthaftes Argument enhält, sondern ausschließlich "Aberakadabara-Dreimal-Schwarzer-Kater".

Denn es kommt einem irgendwie bekannt vor, was da an Sprüchen in meiner letzten Adresse geklopt wird:
"Und Chico..... das ist kein Spiel an der Börse. Realistisch gesehen, ist das Geldverdienen an der Börse einer der schwierigsten Berufe, die es gibt. Wenn man diesen Beruf aber richtig beherrscht, läßt sich viel Geld verdienen."
Das klingt wie eine Kombination von Madoff und Bäckergeselle, dessen Namen ich inzwischen schon vergessen habe.

Die 125 Millionen Cash/Wertpapiere und die Beteiligungen an 13 weiteren privaten Unternehmen gibt es kostenlos dazu.
Das ist genau der Preis, den man auch bei anderen Vorgehensweisen ermittelt. Wenn sich die Börsenlage ändert kann man allerdings auch noch in ganz andere Dimensionen vorstoßen.

Theoretisch wäre es nun denkbar, dass ein Shortseller leer verkauft, um dann billig eine Übernahme starten zu können. Bei allen Zweifeln an der SEC, die ich hier schon gepostet habe, gehe ich nicht davon aus, dass sie diesen Tatbestand, der eine krasse Kursmanipulation ist, gestatten würde und sicher auch nach einem Vorgehen über Dritte recherchieren würde.
Zudem solltest Du Dir die Liste der Institutionals einmal ansehen.
Nicht auszuschließen ist allerdings, dass zwischen dem Management und großen Institutionals nicht ganz reine Deals laufen, so hat z.B. der größte Anteilseigner Fidelity damals für einen Appel und Ei die Beteiligung ecredit.com gekauft oder Mason Capital hat man meines Erachtens die Wandelschuldverschreibung zu einem sehr hohen Preis abgekauft, um seine Schulden zu tilgen. Diese Machenschaften nehmen aber meines kein Ausmaß an, was so dramatisch ist, dass es zu extremen Schäden führt - auch insofern ist mein ja bekanntlich beschränktes Vertrauen in die SEC da.
Was die SEC dagegen überhaupt nicht kontrolliert, ist, ob die veröffentlichen Zahlen über das Shortselling stimmen. Die sind vermutlich an die Zahlen der Wertpapieranleihe angekoppelt. Hier werden mehrfach die gleichen Papiere ausgeliehen und nackte Shortseller leihen sich gar keine aus. Würde die SEC das tatsächliche Ausmaß den Shortselling in Erfahrung bringen und veröffentlichen, würde Internet Capital sofort auf $15 sausen. Ich habe mich über das Shortselling schon oft versucht mit Spezialisten zu unterhalten, von denen es wenige gibt, und die haben meist kundgetan, dass man die Zahlen zum Shortselling getrost vergessen könne - denn hier kontrolliere niemand irgendetwas und die tatsächlichen Zahlen könnten um ein Vielfaches höher liegen.
Capital and reserves attributable to equity
holders of the company = 44,151,000 GBP = aobut $57 million
The market-cap = $13 million = about only 22% of the shareholder-equity.
Der Wert der 133 Millionen Aktien von Goindustry, die Internet Capital hält, ist eigentlich mit ca. 3 Millionen so gering, dass man darüber nicht posten könnte. Andererseits wären 30 Millionen angemessen - und das waren dann immerhin schon 1 Dollar pro Aktie. Da war die Aktien einmal vor ca. 18 Monaten und wird auch dort wieder hingehen.
ICG Commerce Increases Spend Under Management 50% to More than $10 Billion Since Start of Economic Crisis
Results Underscore Trend of Fortune 1000 Companies Increasingly Looking to Procurement Outsourcing to Maximize and Accelerate Cost Reductions
PHILADELPHIA - Monday, March 09, 2009 - ICG Commerce, the leading procurement outsourcing specialist,
announced today that the amount of spend the company manages for leading companies spiked to $10.2 billion,
a 50% increase since September 30th of last year. Driving this increase are new or expanded contracts with
industry titans including Whirlpool, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Goodyear, Cameron Industries and a leading software
provider. These contracts are collectively worth $136 MM in total contract value, a 50% increase over the total
value contracted during the full year 2007.
“As current economic conditions force companies to seek additional ways to cut costs, results-oriented leaders
are turning to procurement outsourcing,” said Carl Guarino, Chief Executive Officer, ICG Commerce. “Our recently
accelerated customer activity is a testament to our proven ability to deliver hundreds of millions of dollars in
savings that drop straight to the bottom-line.”
According to the research and advisory firm, The Everest Group, procurement outsourcing delivers 5 times more
savings than other outsourcing endeavors, like IT or HR outsourcing. Unlike these other outsourcing solutions,
which focus on headcount reductions through technology and labor arbitrage, procurement outsourcing focuses on
driving down the costs of purchased goods and services. For many companies these purchases, which fall into
categories, like logistics, marketing services, IT/telecom, packaging and travel, represent over $1 billion of
expenditures.
“Globalization and outsourcing are megatrends that are accelerating dramatically in today’s economic climate,” says
The Hackett Group’s Procurement Research Director, Pierre Mitchell. “Our recent 2009 Procurement Key Issues study
indicates that 50% of Procurement organizations plan to use BPO as part of their globalization efforts.”
For nearly a decade, ICG Commerce has focused on helping Fortune 1000 clients like Kimberly Clark, Hertz, Chiquita,
Greif and many others, expand and accelerate aggressive cost reduction programs. ICG Commerce delivers savings
by infusing sourcing specialists who bring deep category expertise and access to intelligence data that compounds
as they work across numerous Fortune 1000 companies.

Results Underscore Trend of Fortune 1000 Companies Increasingly Looking to Procurement Outsourcing to Maximize and Accelerate Cost Reductions
Monday March 9, 2009, 10:00 am EDT
PHILADELPHIA, PA--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 9, 2009 -- ICG Commerce, the leading procurement outsourcing specialist, announces today that the amount of spend the company manages for leading companies spiked to $10.2 billion, a 50% increase since Sept 30th of last year. Driving this increase are new or expanded contracts with industry titans including Whirlpool, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Goodyear, Cameron International and a leading software provider. These contracts are collectively worth $136 MM in total contract value, a 50% increase over the total value contracted during the full year 2007.
"As current economic conditions force companies to seek additional ways to cut costs, results-oriented leaders are turning to procurement outsourcing," said Carl Guarino, Chief Executive Officer, ICG Commerce. "Our recently accelerated customer activity is a testament to our proven ability to deliver hundreds of millions of dollars in savings that drop straight to the bottom-line."
According to the research and advisory firm, The Everest Group, procurement outsourcing delivers 5 times more savings than other outsourcing endeavors, like IT or HR outsourcing. Unlike these other outsourcing solutions, which focus on headcount reductions through technology and labor arbitrage, procurement outsourcing focuses on driving down the costs of purchased goods and services. For many companies these purchases, which fall into categories, like logistics, marketing services, IT/telecom, packaging and travel represent over $1 billion of expenditures.
"Globalization and outsourcing are megatrends that are accelerating dramatically in today's economic climate," says The Hackett Group's Procurement Research Director, Pierre Mitchell. "Our recent 2009 Procurement Key Issues study indicates that 50% of Procurement organizations plan to use BPO as part of their globalization efforts."
For nearly a decade, ICG Commerce has focused on helping Fortune 1000 clients like Kimberly-Clark, Hertz, Chiquita, Greif and many others expand and accelerate aggressive cost reduction programs. ICG Commerce delivers savings by infusing sourcing specialists who bring deep category expertise and access to intelligence data that compounds as they work across numerous Fortune 1000 companies.
