gestern auch so ins Zeug legen, um trotz des Mehr-als-5%-Einstiegs von Goldman einen Rückgang von 1,65 auf 1,63 hinzubekommen. Das Spielchen kenne ich von meinem Engagement bei ICG Group (früher Internet Capital), denn auch da war an Tagen mit positiven Meldungen immer die nackten Shortseller mit Verkäufen am Werk.
Dass diese Dips hervorragende Kaufgelegenheiten sind, muss ich wohl nicht genauer erklären. Auf Tradegate habe ich vor wenigen Minuten 300 Stück für 1,273 bekommen.

Consumers are blind to banners. Branded emails go unopened. Video ads aren't engaging.

However, currently only 3 percent – $8 billion in 2012 – of U.S. online purchases are being made from a mobile device. This is going to change. Analysts project that the mobile commerce market will reach $31 billion by the end of 2017. As this growth takes place, we can expect to see more than a handful of major retailers battling for their piece of the pie.

Which Is the Best Internet Bet?
By Mohsin Saeed - April 27, 2013
Mohsin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Internet-advertisement industry is one of the fastest growing markets in the technology sector. With earnings season in full swing, investors can get an update on which companies are making headway in this space.
Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) reported its first-quarter results in recent days. The company experienced an increase in profits but a 7% decline in revenue due to weaker revenue performance in Yahoo!'s core business. The entire company is undergoing a massive overhaul led by its new CEO Marissa Mayer, which has been met with positive investor sentiment. At current valuations, I believe Yahoo! has an upside of 30% and is value play for the US advertisement industry.
The industry
The US advertisement industry is one of the fastest-growing entities in the entire stock market. This huge industry has been supported by the rise in handheld devices, which ensure that users are connected to the Internet at all times. As compared to PC consumers stuck with bulky devices, which are much more difficult to carry around, handheld users can go online at any time.
This single fact has significantly increased the amount of time that users spend online and is the primary reason behind the high expectations surrounding this industry. According to data collected by Reuters, the US Internet-advertisement market grew by 15% last year and currently stands at approximately $36.6 billion. More data from PWC reveals that the key to growth in this space is handheld devices with revenue from smartphones doubling last year.

How is Fusion by Local different than other platforms that provide geo-targeted campaigns?

Fusion by Local allows clients to target precise consumer mindshare in specific markets through trusted media properties. It also allows advertisers and brand marketers to optimize and customize campaigns in local markets based on specific vertical categories. Fusion provides clients with targeted local reach and awareness. While other offerings may help with more transactional-based goals, Fusion by Local is a good fit for national and regional brands that want to reach and engage with local consumers through premium media properties.

How is Fusion by Local different than other platforms that provide geo-targeted campaigns?
Lori: Agencies and advertisers should think strategically about which channels are best for them based on their campaign goals. Fusion by Local allows clients to target precise consumer mindshare in specific markets through trusted media properties. It also allows advertisers and brand marketers to optimize and customize campaigns in local markets based on specific vertical categories. Fusion provides clients with targeted local reach and awareness.
