Kursverdoppelung bei Actua Corporation (vorm. Internet Capital)

Managements zu sein (das offensichtlich private Anleger mürbe machen will), das momentan keine erheblichen Kurssteigerungen wünscht - denn die müssten nur eine Monetarisierung machen und das Ding ginge durch die Decke. Das sollte allerdings einen langfristig und auch mittelfristig orientierten Anleger nicht vom Halten bzw Kaufen abhalten. Denn der IPO von Metastorm kommt in 2008 mit Sicherheit, weitere Kandidaten sind ICGCommerce und Starcite, die neuerdings in den Vordergrund gestellt werden. Wenn man Kreditderivaten und Creditex klarer sieht, sind die auch ein Kandidat - die haben übrigen enorm von der Krise und der Explosion des Handels profitiert. Meines Erachtens gibt es auch langfristig keine Bedenken, denn die Kreditderivate werden, allem was passiert ist zum Trotz, weiter wachsen - vielleicht jetzt eine bestimmte Zeitspanne nicht so schnell und nicht mehr bei sehr komplexen Produkten.

Dass die Shortseller in Not sind, sieht man daran, dass sie es nötig haben, den dünnen in Handel in Frankfurt zu manipulieren und sogar mein Posten auf dem Yahoo-Board durch Rating-Tricks zu verschwinden lassen versuchen.
Mein Tip für einen IPO neben Metastorm ist in 2008 Starcite:

Rates, Dates and Space: Real-time Meeting Booking? No Panacea Yet
by Corrie Dosh

StarCite   BCD Travel   Global Hyatt Corp.   Hilton Hotels Corp.    
December 2007  -  Despite the challenges in aggregating complete group inventory information, many hotel chains and third-party facilitators have rolled out electronic RFP tools for groups and held out promises of even faster booking alternatives coming soon. Since the complexities of event specifications can delay replies to a request for proposals, these e-tools can result in cost reductions of 30 percent to 40 percent over traditional phone and fax processes, said meetings technology consultant Corbin Ball. Another technological development leading to quicker responses for meetings RFPs has been the ability for third-party facilitators to aggregate meetings inventory online, including room blocks or meeting rooms. While such meetings- specific providers as StarCite for years have worked to build online marketplaces, now transient hotel content distributors--the "plumbing" behind transient sourcing tools--are adding meetings content to their systems. With more content available online from a single provider, meeting buyers can "one stop shop" instead of using individual hotel tools. Hotel distribution provider Pegasus Solutions in September signed a deal with StarCite to link the Pegasus portfolio of 78,000 properties to StarCite's sourcing tools. The deal helps Pegasus break into group content through nontraditional distribution channels, said Quentin Moores, Pegasus senior director of distribution solutions. The StarCite deal is just one of many possible channels Pegasus will use to distribute its hotel clients' group content, he said. "Pegasus' strength has always been in the transient bookings space. In order to add value to our suppliers, it is essential for us to continue to look for new distribution channels," Moores said. "This is one of a number of distribution channels that Pegasus has taken an interest in and [we] want to achieve a broader distribution funnel for our suppliers beyond the traditional transient leisure and corporate bookings. It's a logical fit." Hotel RFP Options for Meetings
• Carlson Hotels Worldwide: Same-day response to RFPs with rates, dates and space

• Hilton Hotels Corp.: Direct bookings for room blocks of up to 25 with meeting rooms and services

• Hyatt Corp.: "Immediate response" to RFPs submitted through online template; 48-hour response on properties outside the United States

• InterContinental Hotels Group: Crowne Plaza brand guarantees a two-hour response to RFPs, with a full proposal returned by the next business day

• Marriott International: RFP Web site tool response within 24 hours; rates, dates and space availability within 48 hours; limits number of properties to receive each RFP to three at a time

• Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide: RFP response within one business day when using online template  


The company attempted to break into the group space five years ago, but the market wasn't ready, Moores said. Generally, group content distribution is where transient distribution was in 1989, he said: "A very manual, very laborious process handled mostly on the property level." This "first step" into the market will eventually lead to true, seamless end-to-end automation for meetings sourcing--something that doesn't exist on the market today--Moores said. Despite the development of their own meetings sourcing tools, hotel chains have expressed a "surprising" amount of interest in listing group content through Pegasus, he claimed. "Many [lodging chains] will say, 'We have that, we have meeting rooms technology on our Web sites or group booking,' " Moores said. "We encourage that, and that's great from their perspective ... but there is no process that provides today what I refer to as a universal search capability. There's no way for me as a meeting planner to go online and go through a single vendor." With distribution facilitators listing both transient and group content in one system, there is a greater likelihood of consolidated meetings and transient sourcing tools. "The rise in group business seems to be accelerating at a rapid rate, so I think the market is absolutely ready for this kind of technology," Moores said. "If a hotel loads [group rooms into a global distribution system] and exposes this to Pegasus, they would expose the number of rooms that they are willing to give to an agency, corporation, third party, StarCite or whomever, and it would display. All those different rules can be baked into Pegasus so when the planner comes to ask for availability, they get what the hotel wants them to see," StarCite CEO Michael Boult told Management.travel. Boult said that the latest developments in group sourcing mirror transient developments of 25 years ago. Similar developments on the transient side took many years to perfect, he said, and the current group sourcing products on the market are not as optimal as they will be eventually. The inherent complexities of meetings--whether a company needs a meeting room, a room block or both together, for example--slows the pace of development, he said. Within the small-meeting market, technology vendors Worktopia and Groople also have been touting real-time capabilities. Worktopia earlier this year announced a partnership with Holiday Inn to provide real-time access to meeting rooms for up to 100 people. For such meetings, Worktopia offers access to more than 10,000 meeting rooms at 2,000 properties in 150 cities. For chains that have rolled out their own meetings RFP tools, the response times vary widely based on the property, event specifications, whether the request comes in a format familiar to the hotels' and other factors. Tight occupancy rates certainly affect response times, but there are no exact industry statistics, said George Odom, senior director of business development for BCD Travel-owned consulting firm Advito. The more a hotel wants a particular piece of business, the faster they generally reply. Most chains have implemented some guidelines for properties regarding RFP response times. In general, the largest hotel companies promise responses to electronic meetings RFPs within 24 hours. Carlson Hotels Worldwide implemented an RFP response system through Newmarket International's MeetingBroker in 2005 and said it cut RFP response times from an average of 56 hours to four hours. The chain promises "same day" response times for RFPs submitted to its brands, including Radisson Hotels & Resorts. "There is no process that provides today what I refer to as a universal search capability. There's no way for me as a meeting planner to go online and go through a single vendor."
— Quentin Moores, Pegasus Senior Director of Distribution Solutions


Hyatt partners with StarCite to offer "real time" responses to RFPs. The "E-mmediate Response" is applicable for events of all sizes, but buyers need to use the standard online template provided by the chain. Hilton's "E-vents" program, launched in 2006, avoids the RFP process altogether with a direct-booking program aimed at small meetings with up to 25 rooms in the block. "[RFP response times] are extremely important. There's a lot of competition out there, especially over the last few years, with even being able to get meeting space, so usually you are sourcing more than once or twice," said Betsy Bondurant of Bondurant Consulting, formerly associate director of meetings and trade shows for pharmaceutical giant Amgen. "The sooner you can find out if your preferred hotel isn't available, the sooner you can go out and continue looking." Meeting buyers are competing for what sometimes seems to be "the same 20 percent of hotels," Bondurant said, as such top-tier meeting destinations as New York, Chicago or Boston quickly fill up. A quick response time becomes even more important in these cities. Amgen used StarCite to distribute its RFPs, and Bondurant said response times usually were within 48 hours. While some hoteliers promise a faster turnaround through their own electronic templates, Bondurant said she has heard from planners that such tools are better used to gain a general idea of availability, as booking through an RFP hotel template is difficult and often not worth the trouble. "You still have to go through a manual process," Bondurant said. In comparison, when planners use a chain's national sales office, RFP response time is usually dependable, but not as rapid as an electronic template. "In my office, we send all RFPs to our national reps; we don't do any posting of them online," said Julie Johnson, director of events and incentives for Lennox Worldwide Heating & Cooling. "Our response time is very good--usually within a few days but we also usually give them a week to get back to us." Hotel online RFP tools are meeting a market need, suggested Advito's Odom, but not the entire market. "It's not the panacea, but it is a good alternative," he said. "It doesn't work for everything." For companies that send their own online RFPs without a hotel template, the process can create both problems and efficiencies. A quick response to a proposal may only include "rates, dates and space," without addressing many of the complexities and needs of a particular event, said meetings industry consultant Joan Eisenstodt of Eisenstodt Associates. Hammering out the final agreement can take weeks. In addition, online RFP tools have increased the number of requests sent to properties, creating delays while properties sort out which ones are viable. An estimated two out of three electronic RFPs go completely unanswered, and the likelihood of a response drops if a corporation uses an unfamiliar format for its request. "Procurement will come in after three weeks of negotiations with the hotel. We have to submit the bid to them and procurement says they have a five-day turnaround, which usually means five to eight days. They want to use a template, but they don't understand the complexities of meetings."
— Shelly Russ, IEEE Director of Event Management Services


Even where technology speeds the RFP process, high occupancy rates around the country--especially in cities that are top meetings destinations-continue to make delays a problem for meeting buyers. "In the old days it used to be phone calls, then it was blast faxes, and now there is email and now you can even get in and see some hotels' inventory online," Odom explained. "So technology is assisting, but because the occupancies are higher and because some corporations don't have flexibility on their dates, that makes it difficult because now you have extra work to find a match. Lead times are not lengthening, and people are watching their budgets more closely." More hotels also now are finding that their corporate contact for negotiations on meetings and events is not the final buyer, and that purchasing managers must approve the contract after negotiations between the property sales representative and the planner are concluded. If procurement views meetings as a commodity or assumes event bidding can apply a standard template used for other purchases, planners and hoteliers may have to halt negotiations to bring procurement up to speed. Procurement departments that haven't built close relationships with their corporate meeting departments often don't understand how meetings RFPs differ from transient contracts, said Shelly Russ, director of event management services for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. A new management structure at IEEE requires procurement to approve hotel bids for conferences and meetings, but that step adds more than a week to negotiations, she said. "Procurement will come in after three weeks of negotiations with the hotel. We have to submit the bid to them and procurement says they have a five-day turnaround, which usually means five to eight days. They want to use a template but they don't understand the complexities of meetings," Russ said. The idea behind using standardized templates for meetings RFPs is to create efficiencies. If executed properly, the process can reduce response times. The Convention Industry Council has embraced a procurement-driven strategy in its Accepted Practices Exchange (Apex) initiative. The meetings industry association has published seven standard templates for use with audio/visual providers, destination management companies, hotels, transportation providers and other vendors. Procurement departments seeking to reduce or eliminate delays on their meetings RFPs also could consider a third-party facilitator, Odom said, and there are many corporations doing a "great job" internally of streamlining their meetings procurement process. "It's more fundamental of making sure the specs are firmed up before you go out, trying to have enough lead time and flexibility so that you can purchase the best thing at the lowest price," he said.

 Re: Manipulation of Yahoo-Board through BIG SHORT is going on     6 minutes ago     The resaon, why BIG SHORT do all, to hide information about Starcite is simple. Starcite will be an other ipo-candidate. The revenues of Starcite in 2007 was more than 60 million and will be about 90 million in 2008. By an ipo the market-cap of Starcite will be between 550 and 700 million. Internet Capital owns 26%.

 Re: Manipulation of Yahoo-Board through BIG SHORT is going on     5 second(s) ago     Most danger see BIG SHORT by Channelintelligence and he did all, to hide every information about this company. The reason is simple, because Channelintelligence is a competitor of Doubleclick and Aquantive - okay, very smaller. But look at the amouts, which were paid for Doubleclick and Aquantive: Google paid 3.1 billions for Doubleclick and Microsoft paid 6 billion for Aquantive.

Internet Capital owns 41% of Channelintelligence.


Sentiment : Strong Buy

Nicht asuzuschließen ist allerdings, das bei der Manipulation des US-Boards die gleichen dummen kleinen Wichser ihre Finger im Spiel haben, die auch in Deutschland die Aktienboards manipulieren, weil sie sich für den Weltuntergang engagiert und ihr Geld im Internet-Bubble in 1999/2000 verzockt haben.

 

in Frankfurt kaufen und aus den 7.200 Euro auf Sicht von 12-18 Monaten 20.000 Euro machen.

Die 7,20 Euro sind einigermaßen fair gepreist, wenn man den gestrigen Schlusskurs an der Nasdaq als Maßstab nehmet. Orientiert Euch nicht am Kurs von 7,01 - da wurde ein Stück umgesetzt. Das sind die üblichen Spielchen, um den Handel zu unterbinden - denn wählt jemand dieses weit unter dem gestrigen US-Kurs liegende Limit, bekommt er nichts. Und das ist Sinn und Zweck der Manipulationen, die man sogar in Frankfurt praktiziert, um den Kurs nicht ausbrechen zu lassen.  

ich will mal nicht den Charttechniker spielen, aber wichtige Leute der FED sprechen von Zinssenkungen, bei der EZB steht Lust auf Zinserhöhung an. Man muss anbetracht dieser Umstände bärisch für den Dollar gestimmt sein. Dazu kommt, dass bei ICGE gemauert wird ohne Ende.
Zeitgleich sind die US-Indizes ins Bärenlager gewechselt, diesem Trend kann sich natürlich auch eine ICGE nicht entziehen und ich gehe davon aus, dass hier nochmal um die 10-20% Luft ist nach unten. Bei fallenden Dollar, sinkenden Kursen von ICGE kommt mittelfristig nochmals eine Supereinstiegsmöglichkeit.
Ich meine, ich bekomme demnächst diesen Wert für um die 6€ oder weniger (0,30 vor Split), der schwache Dollar machts möglich.
Also mir muss der Frontman in Frankfurt wesentlich weniger bieten, als die 7,20€ und das wird er auch tun -   müssen.  

Warum kaufst du diese Aktie nicht einfach an der Nasdaq? Das geht doch bei jedem popeligen Broker...  

mit fast 200.000 Dollar in dem Wert engagiert bin (Einkauf für ca. 105.000 Dollar). Mehr lässt sich unter dem Gesichtspunkt einer schon strapazierten Risikostreuung nicht bewerkstelligen, sodass ich nur in Ausnähmefällen noch kleinere Abrundungskäufe vornehme. Richtig ist aber, dass der von mir vorgenommen Kauf auch über die USA hätte ausgeführt werden können - da hatte ich aber bedenken, dass ich nicht mehr so günstig zum Zug käme.

Wenn ich zu Frankfurt poste, hat das wenig damit zu tun, dass ich dort kaufe oder verkaufe, sondern ich will afuzeigen, dass die Shortseller selbst an einem so unbedeutenden Platz wie Frankfurt zu manipulieren versuchen - und das dort besonders ungestört dürfen. Manchmal hat man den Eindruck, als sei der dortige Marketmaker der Obershortseller - logischerweise unwahrscheinlich, ich traue ihm aber zumindest anderen Dreck am Stecken zu.

Für 6 Euro sehe ich wenige Chancen, da alleine die Cash/Wertpapiere schon knapp 5 Dollar pro Aktie ausmachen.

Natürlich ist die Performance noch nicht ganz so, wie ich mir das vorgestellt habe - ich bin aber sicher, dass noch Einiges kommt. Siehe dazu auch eine Antwort auf einem anderen Board zu einer entsprechenden Frage.

Ich stimme Dir in dem Punkt zu, sdas eine Kursverdreifachung von $3.40 auf zuletzt etwas über $10 nicht die Welt ist - das hat in dieser Zeit auch der DAX geschafft. Und ich habe logischerweise auch nicht alles für $3.40 gekauft, sondern liege irgendwo bei einem Einstandpreis über die letzten sechs Jahre zwischen fünf und sechs Dollar, sodass ich bei einer durchschnittlichen Haltedauer von ca. dreieinhalb Jahren in der Tat in Euro gerechnet "nur" zwischen 80 und 90% gemacht habe, was ein jährlichen Rendite von "nur" etwas mehr als 20% entspricht. Im Gegensatz zum DAX, dem ich ja auch Jahressicht etwas über 10.000 Punkte zutraue, gehe ich bei Internet Capital aber von einer weiteren Verdoppelung bis Verdreifachung aus - und das habe ich hier gepostet. Ich poste also hier zu einer Aktie, wie das fast alle auf diesem Board auch tun - deshalb kann ich Deine Aufregung nicht nachvollziehen. Dass ich das alles durch viele Fakten belege kann man mir ja sicher nicht als Vorwurf machen. Über das negative Ebitda und den negativen Cash Flow, den Du aus einer alten Schnellauswertung von einem Aktienboard gefischt hast, solltest Du meines Erachten erst dann schreiben, wenn Du Dich mit der Konstruktion dieser Gesellschaft genauer informiert hast. Internet Capital ist nämlich nur die Holding - und nur eine von ca. 15 Beteiligungen werden in deren Rechnungslegung einbezogen. Auch der Buchwert sagt deshalb wenig aus, obwohl das ein exzellenter Wert wäre - ich kenne kein einziges Internetunternehmen, dessen Buchwert so nahe beim Kurswert liegt. Auch hier rate ich Dir, Dich über die Zusammenhange zwischen Buchwert und Kurswert in Abhängigkeit vom Unternehmenssektor schlau zu machen.


Dass nicht nur Libuda schon auf diesen Wert gestoßen ist, sondern auch andere, kannst Du daran sehen, dass zu 90% Institutionals in dem Wert sind und Fidelity der größte Einzelaktionäre ist - neben Barclays und anderen.

Warum ich momentan die Situation für heiß halte, hängt damit zusammen, dass wir auf der einen Seite 90% Institutionals haben und auf der anderen Seite 10% der umlaufenden Aktien leer verkauft wurden. Die Leerverkäufer unternehmen momentan alles, um die Aktie zu drücken - einen günstigeren Einstiegszeitpunkt gibt es somit kaum. Zu diesem "Alles" gehört es beispielsweise, dass sie das Yahoo-Board zu manipulieren versuchten. Dort poste ich zum Beispiel zu diesem Wert und man versucht dort mit Rating-Tricks meine Postings zu verstecken, wie das auf diesem Board ein Poster auch schon gemacht hat, indem er mich auf Ignore setzte. Die Steigerung am letzten Freitag war nun, dass die Shortseller einer ihrer weiteren Verkaufsaktionen dadurch begleiteten, indem sie die Informationen über Beteiligungen von Internet Capital aus dem neuen Jahr löschen ließen, was zu erheblichen Irritationen bei den dortigen Lesern führte. Wie sie bewerkstelligt haben, weiß ich auch nicht. Ich vermute einmal, dass sie einem unfähigen Webmaster von Yahoo den Bären aufgebunden haben, dass ich nicht zu Internet Capital posten würde. Internet Capital definiert sich aber nun einmal durch seine Beteiligungen.

Ich habe das übrigens der SEC gemailt, denn der ein Teil des kleinen Tauchers in der letzten Stunde könnte damit zusammenhängen, dass plötzlich viele Informationen über Internet Capital verschwunden waren. Dass die bei Yahoo die Hosen wegen dieser Manipulationen gestrichen voll haben, kannst Du daran sehen, dass sie die folgenden Postings von mir unbehelligt ließen. Was ich aber letztendlich sagen wollte: Es ergeben sich durch diese Geschehnisse am Freitag exzellente Einstiegsmöglichkeiten.

Hier meine Replik auf die nach meiner Auffassung versuchte Marktmanipulation eines Webmaster von Yahoo (wahrscheinlich war es einfach nur Dummheit, weil er die Beteiligungen nicht Internet Capital zuordnete, aber im Endergebnis war das eine Marktmanipulation, der hoffentlich auch die SEC nachgeht).

das ist der "Schlaue" vom anderen Board. Das hat er wahrscheinlich von dem Edwards von Dresdner Kleinworth Wasserstein, die es offensicht gar nicht mehr gibt. Vielleicht hat der als Lemming bei Anti-Lemmming angefangen, denn ich gehe einmal davon aus, dass ihn die Allianz wegen Unfähigkeit und "Großfressigkeit" rausgeworfen hat. Dieser Edwards war der, der Greenspan ins Gefängnis bringen wollte, weil er die Rezession verhindert hatte, die Edwards vorausgesagt hatte.

China kauft USA auf, Aktionäre müssen nach Kuba

VORSICHT! Wer jetzt noch Geld in US-Aktien steckt, geht bei der drohenden Zwangsverstaatlichung der USA durch chinesische Mehrheitsaktionäre am Ende leer aus! Besser jetzt verhuren die Dollars, solange die Huren die überhaupt noch annehmen!

Man sollte aus steuerlichen Gründen in 2008 keine Zertifikate kaufen, da man mit in 2008 gekauften Zertifikten Kursgewinne über einen Termin in 2009 hinaus nicht steuerfrei stellen kann. Kauft man in 2008 dagegen Aktien oder Fonds, sind die Kursgewinne nach einem Jahr nach dem Kauftermin steuerfrei - und zwar auf Dauer.

Außerdem sollte man nie Garantieprodukte (Zertifikate oder Fonds) kaufen, es sei denn man wird durch Riester dazu gezwungen (aber da gibt es ja auch Förderung), denn wie alle Versicherungen kostet die Versicherung Geld und frisst an der Rendite. Ein kurzfristiger Anleger hat in Aktien nichts verloren und ein bei langfristiger Anlage sollte man Sicherheit durch die Strukturierung seines Depots erreichen. Statt 100% einer Anlagesumme in einen Fonds mit Garantie zu stecken, erzielt man in der Regel eine höhere Rendite, wenn man 50% Bundesschatzbriefe und die weiteren 50% in Aktien oder einen Aktienfonds steckt. Wegen der besonderen steuerlichen Situation macht es in 2008 sogar Sinn, den Aktien bzw. Aktienfondsanteil wesentlich höher zu fahren (bei jungen Leuten, die Zeit haben, auch sehr hoch)und ab 2009 die Neuanlagen auschließlich nicht in Aktien zu stecken, um den Aktienanteil wieder entsprechend der gewünschten Risikostruktur nach unten zu bringen. Denn man muss bedenken, dass die 2008 gekaufen Aktien und Aktienfonds auf Dauer bei den Kursgewinnen steuerfreie Gewinne mit sich bringen.


Allerdíngs setzt das voraus, dass man Aktien bzw. Aktienfonds auswählt, die man sehr lange behalten kann. Ideal sind hier Dachfonds, bei denen flexibel steuerfrei gewechselt werden kann, die aber auch Gebührenfresser sind. Billiger bei den Gebühren sind Aktienfonds, hier kann aber nur der Fondsmanager die Aktien innerhalb des Fonds austauschen. Am billigsten fährt man mit der Direktanlage in Aktien, hat aber das Problem Aktien für "die Ewigkeit" auswählen zu müssen. Steigt man aus, so müssen bei den ab 2009 neu gekauften Aktien die Kursgewinne versteuert werden. Nicht als Basisinvestment, aber als Depotbeimischung von 3%-5% kann ich mir als Aktie für die Ewigkeit Internet Capital vorstellen, denn das Geschäftsmodell ist extrem langfristig angelegt und bietet sehr hohe Kurschancen.  
 

Hier ist für 2008 ein IPO vorgesehen. Nach ca. 75 Millionen Umsatz dürfte der in 2008 bei 100 Millionen liegen. Das läuft auf eine IPO-Marktkapitalisierung von 500 Millionen hinaus. Internet Capital hält 32% an Metastor

An excellent day to increase the positions     28 second(s) ago     Market-cap is only 383 million. If you subtract the more than 180 million cash/securities, we have only an amount of 200 million for all private hold companies. If we took only the 10 biggest, the worth is in average 20 million. But the ownership of five of this 10 companies have a worth of 100 million each company alone: ICGCommerce, Starcite, Freeborders, Metastorm and Creditex - ICGCommerce and Creditex nearer or higher 200 million. And the ownership in the next five Channelintelligence, Emptoris, VCommerce, Anthem Venture and Whitefence has in the average a worth of about 35-40 million each company


 

aktiv.Warum machen die das wohl,hin und her zocken?
Es gibt wohl selten eine bessere Aktie als ICGE.

da oben bleibt ?

schwer etwas sagen. Aber langfristig kehren Wechselkursrelationen zur Kaufkraftparität zurück. Ich bin bisher davon ausgegangen, dass die bei 1,15 bis 1,20 liegt. Mehrere neuere Untersuchung kommen jetzt sogar zu noch niedrigeren Ergebnissen, die auf einen Wert von ca. 1,12 hinauslaufen.

Meine Prognose für Ende 2008 ist 1,25, weil wir meines Erachtens beim Leistungsbilanzdefizit der USA dramatische Veränderungen sehen werden - mengenmäßig sind die schon längst da.  

Ihr daran erkennen, dass die in den USA rund um die Uhr jemand am Bildschirm sitzen haben, der durch ein spezielles Rating (1 star) jede der vielen positiven Meldungen über die neue Kunden und andere Entwicklungen bei den ca. 15 Beteiligungen auf dem Yahoo-Board zu verstecken versucht. Man hat dafür allein mindestens zwei Leute abgestellt.

Ich habe ja schon immer gepostet, dass die an sich schon sehr hohen offiziellen Zahlen zum Shortselling (10% bei zustäztlich 90% Institutionals) vermutlich nur die Spitze des Eisbergs sind. Nicht legales nacktes Shorten geht logischerweise nicht in die offiziellen Zahlen ein. Dass das massiv vorliegt, konnte man ja schon mehrfach erkennen, als in bestimmten Zeiträumen die Zunahme der Aktien der Institutionellen größer war als die Zunahme von Shortselling und alle Umsätze der Privaten zusammen. Also selbst wenn alle Umsätze der Privaten Verkäufe gewesen wären, bestand dann immer noch eine Verkaufslücke - das ist schier aberwitzig und zeigt, dass da neben dem offiziellen Shortselling noch ein gigantisches Rad illegal daneben gedreht wird. Warum die SEC, die die Zahlen auch kennen müsste (wenn nicht, ich habe das dort mehrmals hingepostet), nichts unternimmt, ist für mich ein großes Rätsel.  

verschenkt Geld, denn eine Verdreifachung in 12-18 Monaten ist auf jeden Fall drin.  

warum sollte man jetzt gerade rein, da es nochmal deftig rumpeln wird, hat man später mehr für weniger.  

wir werden noch die 6 sehen, € versteht sich, $ natürlich nicht mehr  

wir von w2505 immer die gleiche Geschichte. Dabei waren dips in den letzten Jahren immer die besten Kaufgelegenheiten.

Das momentane Dip ist im wesentlichen durch massives Shortselling seit dem Jahresbeginn entstanden. Die offiziellen und wohl noch mehr die vermutlichen größeren nackten Shorter setzen momentan alles auf eine Karte, um billiger einsteigen zu können - was aber aufgrund der Fundamentals nicht möglich sein dürfte. Denn die Verkäufer sind die Shortseller - und solange die nicht andere Verkäufer finden, können sie nicht eindecken, sondern erhöhen ihre offenen Positionen.

Dass sie dabei auch vor keiner kriminellen Tat zurückschrecken, zeigt die Situation auf dem Yahoo-Board. Hier besteht die Möglichkeit durch ein Ein-Stern-Rating eine Nachricht über Ereignisse bei den Beteiligungen von Internet Capital zu verstecken. Kommt eine positive News auf das Yahoo-Board, gehen sofort acht Versteckratings ein - offensichtlich beschäftigt ein shorter Hedge-Fund rund um die Uhr zwei oder drei Kräfte, die begleitend zum Shortselling das Yahoo-Board zu manipulieren versuchen - die wichtigste Nachrichtenquelle für US-Privatanleger. Offensichtlich hat auch den Webmaster von Yahoo gekauft, der entgegen den Bestimmungen des Disclaimers von Yahoo unkommentierte Meldungen über wichtige Ereignisse bei den Partnergesellschaften löscht. Dass sie bei Yahoo aber verdammt Dreck am Stecken haben, erkennt Ihr beispielsweise daran, dass sich der Webmaster heute schon seit einigen Stunden nicht getraut die für ihn sicher nicht angenehmenen folgenden Nachrichten zu tilgen:

 Re: Criminal webmaster of Yahoo deleted information     17-Jan-08 09:59 am     With about 75 million revenues in 2007 and about 100 million in 2008 the ipo-market-cap of Metastorm will be about 500 million. The 32% of Metastrom will have worth of about 160 million. That is very important for a company like Internet Capital with a market-cap. of only 390 million (by more than 180 million cash).

 Re: Criminal webmaster of Yahoo deleted information     17-Jan-08 10:03 am     Internet Capital owns 41% of Channelintelligence.

Heinblöd würde jetzt kaufen. Der Klevere wartet noch ein bischen.
Da ja mit der intern.Kreditkrise noch einiges nachkommt, wird dadurch sich das auch beim Kurs von ICGE auswirken - müssen, heißt natürlich nicht, dass es ein schlechtes Investment ist.
Zusätzlich kommen noch Währungsgewinne dazu, soadss man gaaanz in Ruhe peilen kann;
Ergo- es wird billiger, später natürlich das Gegenteil.
Die 6€ sehen wir meiner Meinung nach noch, dass wären 0,30€ vor Split.

Also einfach cool bleiben.
 

= Internet Capital with a market-cap of only 365 million last Friday. Internet Capital is free of debt and has cash/securities of about 180 million. If you subtract this 180 million from the market-cap of 365 million = 185 million for a lot of ownerships of valuable private hold companies. The proportional revenues of this private hold companies of Internet Capital in 2008 will be about 200 million. That are only a little bit lower than 1-times-revenues. The average of tech-stocks in S+P500 = 5.5-times-revenues - therefore we have an undervalue by Internet Capital of 4.5-times-revenues = 900 million.

The fair value of Internet Capital = 1,265 million, the market-cap of yesterday is only 365 million. In the result: You can tripple your money in the next 12-18 month.

Vom Warten auf angeblich noch bessere Gelegenheiten ist noch niemand reich gewarten. Dass wissen wir insbesondere seit Frühjahr 2003 als der DAX bei 2.300 stand. Da warten immer noch einige der Euch von diesem Board bekannten Figuren, dass der DAX unter 2.000 geht. Bei Internet Capital und den $3,40 auf dem Tiefpunkt war das bekantlich ähnlich.  

von ICGE soviel wert, wie es hier so oft überdurchschnittlich aufgeführt wird, würde ICGE nicht so in den Keller rauschen !
Ist doch alles nur hochgerechnet und somit nur eine Beteiligung und kein cash !
ICGE müßte jährliche Einnahmen haben, dann würde sich der Kurs bewegen.
Bei ICGE heißt es doch nur auf einen IPO zu warten !

Ich würde jetzt auf keinen Fall schon kaufen !  

man aus Frust über seine Verzockerei in der New Economy-Blase postet, sich aber auch keine Sekunde mit Internet Capital beschäftigt hat. Im letzten Quartalsbericht hätte er nämlich lesen können, dass die über 180 Millionen Cash/Wertpapiere haben - bei 363 Millionen Marktkapitalisierung gestern. Wenn er diese hohe Kassenhaltung kritisiert hätte, hätte ich ihm sogar beigepflichtet - denn man sollte einen Teil dafür benutzen, um bei den jetzigen Kursen die Zahl der Aktien zu reduzieren.

Richtig ist, dass man bei Internet Capital auf Ipo's und/oder andere Formen der Montetarisierung warten muss, aber nicht nur auf eine, sondern auf viele. Das Problem ist sicher, dass dies so lange gedauert hat und diese Jahre nur eine kleine Monetarisierung gelaufen ist - die von Marketron mit 37 Millionen. Von den acht Kernbeteiligungen sind zwei bis drei für 2008 angekündigt, wobei Metastorm schon feststeht. Die restlichen 1-2 kommen aus dem folgenden Kreis: ICGCommerce, Starcite und Creditex, wobei letztere eher ausscheiden, da man hier ein Abklingen der Turbulenzen auf dem Markt für Kreditderivate abwarten dürfte.

Unter den sonstigen Nicht-Kernbeteiligungen dürfte Emptoris mit großer Wahscheinlichkeit in 2008 ein Ipo machen. Leider hält Internet Capital da nur noch 5% (es waren da in der Vergangenheit einmal über 60%), aber der Ipo dürfte eine Milliarde Marktkapitalisierung erreichen, sodass auch bei 5% etwas hängen bleibt.

Wer sich näher informieren will, sollte auf jeden Fall die folgenden zwölf Internet-Adressen abarbeiten. Arbeit, um sich einen Überblick zu machen, macht Internet Capital schon. Wer das nicht will, sollte seine Finger davon lassen, denn man sollte nur in das investieren, was man versteht. Allerdings entgeht den Bequemen und Ahnungslosen eine große Chance.  

Look at the ownership of the cheapest internet-stock of the world:

65% of ICGCommerce

www.icgcommerce.com

32% of Metastorm

www.metastorm.com

33% of Freeborders

www.freeborders.com

26% of Starcite

2.2 million shares of Blackboard

70 million shares of GoIndustry

Additional has Internet Capital about 80 million cash and is free of debt. But the market-cap is only 365 million, fair value is more than tripple.
