Kursverdoppelung bei Actua Corporation (vorm. Internet Capital)

wer nicht auch negative Dinge sehen kann an einer Aktie, der ist nicht objektiv. Deswegen spamst Du den Thread wohl auch zu. Die negativen Dinge, die ich aufgezählt habe, sind nun einmal Fakten.

Und die angeblichen Werte, die Du aufzählst, mögen zwar VIELLEICHT eine ETWAS höhere Börsennotierung als jetzt ermöglichen. Trotzdem kann man doch sachlich bleiben, oder? Du notierst hier nur positive Dinge zur Aktie, niemals negative. Das nenne ich pushen. Man muss, um sich eine Meinung zu bilden auch Risiken abwägen.

Du tust aber so, als ob es völlig sicher wäre, dass die Aktie mehr wert ist. Dann wären längst große Banken eingestiegen.

Und das blabla von irgendwelchen Shorties glaubst du wohl selbst nicht, oder?  

die Leser gezielt in die Irre zu führen. Warum nimmst Du z.B. zu meinen Ausführungen nicht Stellungen, dass eine Beteiligugungsgesellschaft nur dann Gewinn erzielen kann (insbesonderere wenn sie Firmen in frühen Stadien kauft, sie über Jahre weiter entwickelt und i.d.R. bei Erreichen der Gewinnschwelle oder einige Zeit danach verkauft), wenn Beteiligungen verkauft werden wie z.B. 2005 als der Gewinn bei 110 Millionen lag oder 2008, wo er durch den Verkauf von Beteiligungen bei bis zu einer Viertelmilliarde liegen kann? Es ist gezielte Täuschung der Leser den Verlust eines Jahres, hier 2007, herauszugreifen, wo keine Verkäufe getätigt wurden. Und wie es um Deine angebliche Objektivität aussieht, kann man sehr gut daran erkennen, das über das Zustandekommen der 30 Millionen Verlust in 2007 kein Wort verloren wird. Den weitaus größten Anteil hatte daran die Rückzahlung einer Wandelschuldverschreibung, die man damals bei Kursen um $4 ausgegeben hatte, und zwar zu 100%. Durch den Kursanstieg der Aktie ging die auf 135%. Nun hat sich aber Internet Capital in 2007 entschlossen, diese Anleihe vorzeitig zurückzuzahlen, um eine Wandlung am Ende der Laufzeit und die damit verbundene Erhöhung der Aktienzahl zu vermeiden. Die Differenz von 135% und 100%, bezogen auf den Nominalwert, muss als Verlust in der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung ausgewiesen werden. Ich bewerte den Vorgang der Rückzahlung der Anleihe als positiv, das Internet Capital nun schuldenfrei ist und eine Verwässerung des Kurses durch ein Mehr an Aktien aus der Wandelschuldverschreibung vermieden wurde.  

dann wären längst Banken eingestiegen...

Procurement outsourcing is a growing trend among leading companies that are looking to drive meaningful bottom line cost improvements based on the strength of the value proposition. According to a recent report by Everest Research Group, the savings potential from procurement outsourcing is five times greater than other outsourcing programs such as HR and Finance & Accounting.

Corbett, Chairman, IAOP.

"It's an honor to be recognized by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals among the top outsourcing providers in the world," said Carl Guarino, CEO of ICG Commerce. "The award acknowledges the increasingly important contribution procurement outsourcing is making to companies' financial performance while reflecting our track record of delivering measurable results."

er fügt wirklich eine weitere Lüge dazu, denn seine Behauptung, dass ansonsten die Banken schon längst eingestiegen wären, ist lächerlich - dies sind schon längst drin, wie Ihr der nachfolgenden Austellung entnehmen könnt. Auch ansonsten sind die Ansichten von Daxcrash sehr verwunderlich, denn offensichtlich meint er, dass es einen Gegensatz zwischen Instiutionals und Banken gebe. Nun, die Banken sind die bedeutsamste Gruppe unter den Institutionals und haben massiv Aktien von Internet Capital für die eigenen Bestände erworben. Insgesamt halten die Institutionals die sensationelle Quote von 95% - und der größe Aktionär ist FMC (das ist Fidelity) - gleichzeitig auch der größte Investor auf der ganzen Welt. Wie Ihr seht, sind die Profis voll drin, lediglich bei Privaten kochen noch viele Emotionen, die mit dem Absturz von $ 4.280 zu tun haben und entsprechend fehlt Internet Capital auch in Fonds, die von Privaten gekauft werden. Aber sowohl die Privaten als auch die Fonds für Private stellen auch ein riesiges Potenzial dar, auch wenn die Lieschen Müllers und Joe Sixpacks meist erst auf fahrende Züge springen.

sodass zusammen mit den 95% insgesamt 99% in den Händen von Institutionals und von Insiders sind.

Nach den offiziellen Zahlen haben die Shortseller ca. 10% der ausstehenden Aktien leer verkauft. Ich betone aber, dass sich hier um die offiziellen Zahlen handelt. Vermutlich ist noch einmal die gleiche Prozentzahl oder mehr ohne die vorgeschriebene Ausleihe von Aktien nicht legal leer verkauft worden (naked shortselling). Wie ihr seht, haben wir hier eine sehr brisante Mischung, die sich bei der angekündigten Monetarisierung in einem Knall nach oben entladen wird.  

Shortselling-Operationen in der Geschichte der Wallstreet, gegen 95% Anteil an den umlaufenden Aktien von Institutionals mit Fidelity an der Spitze und 4% umlaufenden Aktien des Managements = 99%, werden wir erleben, wenn in den nächsten Wochen Metastorm sein S1-Filing absetzt oder eine andere Form der Monetarisierung konkreter wird:

IPO-Filing of Metastorm will start in the second quarter     1 minute ago     With about 100 million revenues and more in 2008 and net incomes since the last 12 quarters the market-cap will be about a half billion.

Internet Capital owns 32%.

I am sure, we will see a S1-filing in the next weeks.  
 

durch eure sachliche Argumentation. Ich gebe es zu: Ich schreibe für BIG SHORT!!!!!!  

also der Zug ist abgefahren. Vor 10Tagen war wohl der Boden, noch gibts welche in FRA für Schnäppchenpreise um 6,45€!

nur nicht mehr lange  

dürfte heute klar geworden sein, als die Holding ihre Zahlen veröffentlicht, wo nur zwei Beteiligungen enhalten sind, von nur ICGCommerce Umsätze hat:

Revenues of ICGCommerce was 14 million in the fourth quarter of 2007     27 second(s) ago     because only ICGCommcerce and Investoreforce was consolidated companies, but Investorforce have after a sale of the activities no revenues today. Therefore all revenues of newest numbers of the holding must be revenues of ICGCommerce. There are litte bit lower, than I thought, but I believe, they are okay. The growth-rate of revenues of ICGCommere is between 25% and 30% - that are about 6% in a quarter.

The result are the follow numbers (base are 14 million revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007):

1. quarter 2008 = 14,8 million

2. quarter 2008 = 15,7 million

3. quarter 2008 = 16,6 million

4. quarter 2008 = 17,6 million


That's all together near 65 million revenues in 2008. By a very conserative 4-times-revenues the worth of ICGCommer = 250 million. Internet Capital owns 65%.

Dazu möchte ich noch anmerken, dass ICGCommerce nur eine von 15 Beteiligungen ist, von denen vier ähnlich viel Wert sie wie ICGCommerce. Vielleicht erinnert Ihr Euch in diesem Zusammenhang an den Redakteur vom Aktionär, der annahm, das Internet Capital nur aus dieser einen Beteiliung bestehe. Vermutlich ist der dabei nicht allein, was Euch aber ermöglicht zuzuschlagen, ehe viel ihren "Aktionärs"-Irrtum bemerken.  
 

Hallo Maggus,
klasse Antwort hast Du gegeben !!
Du mußtest gar nicht auf die inhaltlichen Aspekte Deiner Kritiker eingehen.
Da hättest Du ja auch schlecht abgeschnitten...z.B.die Nummer mit den angeblich nicht investierten Banken...

Nein - Du hast es clever gelöst: einfach so tun, als hätte man gesagt, DU WÄREST BIG SHORT

einfach so ohne Begründung hättte man Dir das angehängt.

Klar, die Realität ist diametral gegenüber.
Aber einfach so tun und das dann ironisch verdoppeln indem Du es einfach noch mal hinschreibst..

Klasse Idee. Jeder Idiot wird Dir glauben.

Aber mal im Ernst: Wer ist so blöd und läßt sich durch die Ablenkung vom INHALT
irritieren...

Geh mal in den Profi-Basher-Kurs, damit Du wenistens eines kannst



 

Internet Capital owns 5% of Emptoris     7 minutes ago     IACCM Profiles Emptoris Customer for
Contract Management Excellence
Case Study Examines Impact of Contract Management
Solution at a Leading Pharmaceutical Company

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

Burlington, MA – (March 27, 2008) – Emptoris, a leading provider of enterprise supply and contract management software, today announced that the International Association of Contract and Commercial Management (IACCM), a leading educational organization for contract professionals, profiled one of the company’s customers, a Fortune 200 pharmaceutical company, in the March Issue of “Contracting Excellence.”

IACCM notes that, “market conditions have made the contracting process increasingly significant – and that changes in [contract management] support and enable wider business improvements.” The article provides a general overview of the drivers for change in the contracting process at a leading pharmaceutical company, as well as an overview of the company’s solution selection and implementation process.

The IACCM article quotes the director of strategic sourcing at the pharmaceutical company, “The compelling issues were visibility and finding ways to better monitor and improve lead-times. But then new issues came over the horizon. Risk and compliance all became ‘big deals’ – SOX, privacy, information security, corporate citizenship – suddenly we had a whole array of new, high-focus items on our agenda.”

The article is available online at www.emptoris.com or on the IACCM website under Contracting Excellence. In addition, an online seminar, “Building a Business Case for Contract Management Solutions,” featuring Tim Cummins, Executive Director of IACCM, and the senior legal counsel at a Fortune 100 technology company, is also available for download at Emptoris Webcasts. Finally, an additional webcast, “Contract Lifecycle Management: The Strategic Weapon against Supply Management Risk,” which features a presentation by the associate director of sourcing at a leading pharmaceutical company, is available online at http://www.emptoris.com/newsroom/webcast...

 Re: Internet Capital owns 5% of Emptoris     6 minutes ago     With revenues near 200 million in 2008 Emptoris is a one-billion-ipo-candidate for 2008. First rumors about an ipo you could hear one year ago.  
 

25 Tage um ihre leer verkauften Aktien einzudecken - und dabei dürften nur sie als Käufer auftreten. Das riecht nach einem Shortsquezze.

Short Interest
NASDAQ® short interest is available by issue for a rolling 12 months and updated twice a month.  Short Interest data is based on a mid-month and end of month settlement dates and released after 4:00 p.m, ET, on the dissemination date.

News from Tzero     1 minute ago     T-ZERO LAUNCHES NOVATIONS+,
RESPONDING TO NEW INDUSTRY COMMITMENTS,
BRINGING SCALE TO CREDIT DERIVATIVE NOVATION PROCESSING
London & New York, March 28, 2008 – T-Zero, the most widely adopted credit derivative affirmation platform, has released its next generation ‘Novations+TM’ processing technology. The new technology is fully integrated with the DTCC Trade Warehouse and directly addresses the new industry commitments announced by the Operations Management Group (OMG).
The launch of Novations+ also comes amid renewed calls from U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and from regulators, including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, for additional scale, automation and standardization in credit derivative processing.
Novations+ functionality enables buy-side and sell-side market participants to achieve 2008 novation targets set by the OMG to submit novation requests via an electronic platform rather than via email. Additionally, the new technology allows the credit derivative industry to scale novation processing by providing system-to-system connectivity, interoperability and automation for even the most complex novation operations involving prime brokers and fund allocations. Such operations are not currently automated by any other industry platform.
“Novations+ represents the next big technology shift in the automation of credit derivative processing,” said Mark Beeston, President of T-Zero. “The new platform is uniquely positioned to address scaleability issues highlighted by the OMG and Secretary Paulson.” According to Beeston, key elements of Novations+ functionality include:
•
Electronic novation request directly from Warehouse records using T-Zero GoldSync+ TM
•
Industry standard novation workflow to allow novation consent on T+0
•
Automation that promotes industry standards including ISDA Novation Protocol II
•
Point-and-click support for complex novation operations including:
-
Block novation of trades originally allocated across multiple funds
-
SuperBlockTM novation of an entire trading position composed of multiple trades
-
Partial novations where only a percentage of the original notional is transferred
-
Prime broker 3-party “stay-in” and 4-party “step-out” novations
•
Global front-office distribution of novation functionality via Bloomberg Professional
In a little more than two years since launch, T-Zero has been adopted by over 180 buy-side firms and most major dealers and prime brokers. The platform's open architecture integration framework, known as AgnosticConnectivityTM, has allowed it to API-connect directly to the front-office systems of dealers and prime brokers as well as buy-side firms. The model allows T-Zero to provide counterparties with real-time notification of trade details and T+0 resolution of trade-entry errors via industry standard electronic workflow.
“Our clients recognize the need for scaleability to accommodate growth,” said Clive de Ruig, Head of T-Zero, North America. “Novations+ was developed in collaboration with our dealer and buy-side clients to dramatically improve the industry’s ability to handle exponentially increasing trade volumes.”
“We are very pleased to have implemented Novations+,” said Tetsuya Akutsu, Senior Vice President, Mizuho Alternative Investments, LLC. “We are using it to fully automate our novation processing and to improve our operational efficiency with the major dealers.”
“We have been a T-Zero user for well over a year now and it has clearly improved operational efficiency and reduced risk,” said Paul Winter, Head of Derivatives Operations at Fortis Investment Management. “We have evaluated many platforms and some are still developing what has been on T-Zero all along. Novations+ is a significant leap beyond anything else that is out there.”

No chance for shortsellers and therefore my advice: Go panic, before BIG SHORT will go panic. But you can go panic first, but BIG SHORT can't - bigger covering will produce big jumps.

Additional informations for buyer: You should have bought, before BIG SHORT and criminal naked shorters will/must cover.

25 day to cover 28-Mar-08 08:44 am when only the shortsellers buy:

Additional we have a lot of not legal naked shortselling, which isn't part of this numbers.  

am Beispiel des Yahoo-Boards

http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/..._Z%29/Stocks_I/forumview?bn=9069


Seit Monaten hat der wohl größte legale oder kriminelle nackte Shortseller (wer weiss das schon, da das die SEC zumindest bisher nicht kontrolliert) Tag und Nacht jemanden sitzen, der das Yahoo-Board manipuliert. Durch ein 1-star-rating kann man nämlich nicht gewünschte Informationen verschwinden lassen. Wenn es sein muss, produziert der nackte Shortseller, vermutlich ein Hedge-Fund, so viele ID's mit Bewertungen, wie er benötigt, 3 oder 9 oder 19 oder 100 oder 1000. Seltsam ist, dass Yahoo diese Manipulationen toleriet und die SEC auch - obwohl ich zugeben muss, dass das Unterbinden recht schwierig ist.

Probiert das selber einmal aus, indem Ihr zunächst einmal die Voreinstellung "2 star + unrated" toliert, Euch die dortigen Postings merkt, und dann die Voreinstellung "1 star + unrated" wählt. Vergleicht dann einmal die Posting bei beiden Einstellungen - nehmt Euch die Zeit und geht bis zum Jahresanfang zurück. Ihr werdet überrascht sein, über die wohl umfangreichste Manipulation eines Internet-Boards in der Geschichte des Internets. Das will schon etwas heißen - und zeigt die gigantische Angst vor dem nahen Shortsquezze, sodass man Montag am besten schon in Frankfurt kauft, ehe die Amis aufmachen.  

gebracht hat, müsst Ihr nur etwas weiter nach oben scrollen - durch Behauptungen aus dem hohlen Bauch heraus, ohne auch nur eine Sekunde für eine konkrete Recherche zu verschwenden.

Effective Shopping Network with Consumers Ready to Buy

The Channel Intelligence (CI) Ad Network lets you tap into a valuable marketing medium where a vast majority of consumers are beginning their product search: the product pages on manufacturers’ web sites.

What does the CI Ad Network mean for you?

If you’re a retailer, you can increase sales while lowering your cost per sale in a highly effective advertising network that lets you reach consumers ready to buy. Find out more about the CI Ad Network for Retailers >>

If you’re a manufacturer, we will work with your unique channel sales strategy to stimulate sales and improve referrals to your channel partners. Find out more about the CI Ad Network for Manufacturers >>

The research confirms it – 58% of consumers go first to the manufacturer’s site to learn more about products. And 46% are going there to buy or find where to make a purchase*. With the CI Ad Network, the path to purchase for your customer is clear, direct and more effective.

The Basics – How the CI Ad Network Works

Consumers click a “Buy Now” link on a product page on your site to see where they can buy the product (online or local), including price and in-stock information.
When the consumer selects their preferred online retailer, they are taken directly to the product page on that retailer’s site where they can buy immediately with zero distractions.
Retailers pay on a cost-per-action (CPA) basis only when a sale is made - no costs for curiosity clicks.
Since consumers are acting on the referral of a trusted manufacturer brand, the conversion rates are excellent – twice that of regular comparison shopping engines!

With thousands of retailers and hundreds of manufacturers, the CI Ad Network is already the 6th largest comparison shopping engine – this is one network you can’t afford not to be a part of!

“Channel Intelligence has provided a turnkey solution that lets us point ready-to-buy customers to our resellers. Our resellers appreciate the added sales support and the ease of providing accurate information on price and availability." - Jim Deitzel, Web Manager








* “Approximately 20% of customers said that they came to manufacturer web sites specifically to buy items. An additional 25% said that they came to the web site specifically to research which other stores – both online and offline options – had the item of interest in stock.” Must-Haves for Manufacturer Web Sites, a Joint Study with Channel Intelligence Highlights a Critical Stop on the Customer Purchase Path, Forrester Research, Inc., June 26, 2007

"Call buyers surfaced in Expedia Inc this morning as unsubstantiated rumors surfaced stating that Google Inc could make a bid for the company," said Susquehanna Financial Group's market intelligence team in a note to clients.

The talk was prominent in the equities options market where sentiment was 67 percent bullish as about 8,000 calls compared with 600 puts changed hands in Expedia, seven times the normal combined volume, according to option analytics firm Trade Alert.

Expedia's April $22.50 and $25 calls, giving investors the right to buy Expedia shares at $22.50 and $25 apiece. The options active on talk Google might be interested in the company, said independent options trader Frederic Ruffy.

Expedia is the largest U.S. online travel agency. Its shares were up 9.46 percent at $23.96 in late afternoon trading on Nasdaq, but still down more than 30 percent from their peak in October last year.

An Expedia spokeswoman said the company does not comment on rumors and speculation.

Denn nach den neuesten Überlegung im Finanzministerium sollen die nur Käufe innerhalb der Fonds steuerfrei bleiben, die bis zum 31.2.2008 erfolgt sind. Bei Umschichtungen innerhalb der Fonds nach diesem Termin sollen die aus den Umschichtungen entstehenden Kursgewinne steuerpflichtig werden.

Das Problem von Internet Capital ist zur Zeit, dass der IPO-Markt in den USA nicht ergiebig ist, sodass an der Fähigkeit von Internet Capital, Monetarisierungen hinzubekommen gezweifelt wird. Zwar könnte man Unternehmen auch ohne IPO verkaufen, aber das Wissen um die momentan nicht vorhandene Ausgangstür "IPO" stärkt nicht die Verhandlungspositionen beim Verkauf. Das sind die Gründe, dass wir noch keine der für 2008 angekündigten mindestens zwei Monetarisierung gesehen haben. Da Internet Capital aber auf sehr hohen Cash- und Wertpapierbeständen sitzt (meines Erachten sogar zu hohen), können die die momentane IPO-Schwächephase in aller Ruhe aussitzen.

 Re: Sehr geehrter flankinking     52 minutes ago     Und lasst Euch von dem Schwachkopf im Ausgangsposting, der deutschsprachig ist, nicht verarschen.

Beispielsweise ist im vierten Quartal der Anteil der Instiutionals von 89% auf 95% gestiegen. Die Shortseller sind in etwa gleich geblieben. Wer kommt da als Verkäufer der 6% in Frage? Eigentlich nur private Investoren. Das kann aber wiederum nicht sein, denn wenn man sich einmal die Anteile der Privaten an den Umsätzen bei Tomphson Financial ansieht, kommen die bei den durchschnittlichen Tagesumsätzen und ihren Prozentanteilen nicht auf diesen Wert, selbst wenn alle Private nur verkauft und kein einziger auch nur ein Stück gekauft hätte.

Die Schlussfolgerung ist simpel: Hier wurde massiv leer verkauft, ohne dass dies in den offiziellen Leerverkaufszahlen auftaucht. Nach dem gelten US-Recht ist das eine kriminelle Handlung, die von der SEC verfolgt werden müsste. Entweder schläft die SEC oder ihr Arm reicht nicht dort hin, wo die Kriminellen sind. Allerdings geht dieses Spiel nicht ohne kriminelle US-Broker, die bisher nicht von der SEC kontrolliert wurden. Rating :

ICG Commerce Drives Strong Growth in 2007
Record growth propelled by ICG Commerce's commitment to helping customers achieve results


PHILADELPHIA - Monday, March 10, 2008 - Leading procurement outsourcing specialist ICG Commerce
today announced another year of record growth in 2007.  The company has grown revenue 30+% year
over year for the past three years.  This growth was fueled by a continued track record of delivering
exceptional service that includes meeting 100% of its savings commitments to customers.  This results-
driven focus enabled the company to achieve an unprecedented renewal rate, extending all four major
contracts up for renewal in 2007, including The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Cameron, Greif,
Inc., and a global technology giant.  In addition, these results and strong customer references also helped
the company establish new relationships with Chiquita Brands International, with a global life sciences
company, and with several other leading companies.  

Procurement outsourcing is a growing trend among leading companies that are looking to drive
meaningful bottom-line cost improvements or to fund other growth initiatives.  According to a recent report
by Everest Research Group, procurement outsourcing delivers five times the savings of other outsourcing
endeavors such as IT and Finance and Accounting.  As a procurement outsourcing specialist, ICG
Commerce’s proven ability to help its customers deliver multi-year, multi-million dollar cost reductions is
evidence of the substantial impact that can be realized through procurement BPO.

“ICG Commerce’s relationships with companies such as Goodyear, Greif and Chiquita are examples of
how leading companies are looking to specialist procurement outsourcing providers to help them focus on
their core competencies and improve financial results,” said David Tapper, Vice President, Outsourcing
Services Research, IDC.

In addition to expanding customer relationships, the company also grew its global footprint to meet
additional needs of its customers. The past year gave rise to a significant expansion of ICG Commerce’s
infrastructure in Asia, with the opening of a new office in Shenzhen, China to support low cost country
sourcing.  The company also continued to build upon its European Center of Excellence to support global
relationships with customers such as Kimberly-Clark and Chiquita.

ICG Commerce’s demonstrated ability to deliver value to its customers has enabled year over year
growth that continues to outpace the market. “We look forward to another year of strong growth and
expanded global presence as we remain committed to helping our customers change the way they
manage their spend,” said Carl Guarino, CEO of ICG Commerce.
