    Wikinvest to Introduce Industry Comp Data for Stock Research [view article]
    By the time traditional data is available, it is too late or lacks qualitative factors that make a difference. I tried to get a "wikinvest" going 4 years ago when my book was launched, Evolution Of Trading: How Technology and Governance are Changing Finance in the 21st Century, but was not able to get any response from wiki. EvolutionOfTrading.com Since then my Electronic-BoardroomTM... Porfolio has gone through the roof. My exchangamania concept was buying actual acquirer exchanges and likely aqusition exchanges (eg. CME. CBOT, Euronext, LSE, QQQQ, Phillipine Stock Exchange, ICE, QQQQ, NYME, )and electronic trading platforms before they were bought by exchanges (eg. archipeligo before NYSE bought it) and compliance related firms.

    Technology & Marketing Ventures, Inc. also has the TMVI(tm) Rating System that was published in 3 of Oxford Universty's Study of Business Values books and has a proven track record. By viewing companies and investments based on an analysis of their technology, marketing, ventures, and "inc" unconventional info and conclusions result.

    BTW, I'm watching TSCM carefully -- I'm short the stock because it will take a serious hit if there's any downturn in the online financial ad market. Here's the compete chart on Stockpickr, which seems to have stalled since July:

    Note that Felix Salmon thinks the WSJ.com will still basically go free:

    Murdoch want to have his cake and eat it too -- and maybe he'll pull it off. WSJ.com is the most successful subscription product on the web, and in a recession most subscribers won't cancel, whereas online financial ad revenue could plummet.

    It looks as though Murdoch will make much more of WSJ.com free, perhaps with a delay as Barron's has done. That's a smart segmentation strategy: give to away for free with a delay, but charge those who want it immediately.

    Fred,

    Do you think that TSCM will ditch its subscription strategy and make Real Money free as well?

    Earnings: Lee Income Falls 17 Percent; Online Ads Up 24 Percent
    Tuesday January 22, 8:30 am ET
    By Joseph Weisenthal

    Lee Enterprises (NYSE: LEE - News), the publisher of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and numerous smaller papers, saw revenue decline 6.2 percent in the latest quarter to $279.9 million, from $298.5 million in the year-ago period. Advertising revenue fell by 6.5 percent to $217 million, with classifieds slipping by 13.5 percent. Net income fell by 17.2 percent, to $22.1 million ($.48/share), from $26.6 million in the year-ago period ($.58/share). The company said the quarterly decline was exacerbated by an extra publishing day in 2006 and the St. Louis Cardinals' appearance in the 2006 World Series. Online ad revenue grew 24 percent to $13.5 million, which was 6.2 percent of total ad revenue. Altogether, its websites claim 12 million weekly unique visitors.

    The ignorant aren't reading the news, they are writing it.

    AOL Money & Finance Surpasses Yahoo Finance, MSN Money For Top Portal Spot [view article]
    nitadmin -- you're right, my bad. Marketwatch is linking out to 24/7 wall street, which is similar in tone and style to blogging stocks (they even share some of the same authors).

    How do you explain the decline in Bloggingstocks' traffic given the exposure it gets from AOL?

    I have not seen links from Marketwatch to Bloggingstocks. Furthermore, it does not make sense. Bloggingstocks belongs to AOL, Which belongs to Time Warner. A moderate-liberal company. Where as Marketwatch belongs to Dow Jones, which belongs to News Corp, a very conservitive replublican company. Alcohol and water do not mix. And neither does News Corp and Time Warner.

    Marketwatch is merger of serveral finanical websites, it provides its own, Financial News, Charts, Quotes, financial commentarty (which is often conservative and very replublican), Message Boards, blogs, newsletters for stock, options, futures traders, and educational trading website. It is ridiculous, for Marketwatch to send visiters to other finacial portals, when they are offering everything themselves.

    nitadmin, one other thing: even if its numbers were good (which they're not), bloggingstocks does not have its traffic counted under the AOL Finance domain. Reply

    nitadmin, Bloggingstocks can't be what's driving AOL Finance's growth. Bloggingstocks seems to have cut a deal with Marketwatch which must be generating a lot of traffic (I frequently see it on the front page of MarketWatch), and it's also heavily featured on AOL Finance. Between the two, MarketWatch and AOL probably account for most of Bloggingstocks' traffic.

    But despite being given all that traffic, the Bloggingstocks traffic numbers are horrible -- look at this chart:

    Lisa was spot on about the linking to Bloomberg, etc being the real reason for the jump. Yahoo Finance is still king in usability (have you looked at how cluttered the AOL quote pages are?). As far as Google goes, I don't think they have rolled out enough features to justify the hype. I just don't get what they are trying to do, they are usually good at topping competitor offerings with better features (ex: gmail) but their finance site isn't that much different from Yahoo's. Reply
