    Citysearch needs some improvements in seems that Yelp may be gaining marketshare and may eventually dominate the space. There's still huge potential for innovation in the space.

    I don't see any recessionary trends, the fiscal results vary depending upon various factors which are not necessarily indicative of recession sometimes have nothing to do with economy. It's not fair to associate the Quarterly financial results of the corporates with recession trends. These results are many a times carrying forward adjustments made in the previous quarters. Reply

    Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
    awesome job u guys do, i realy value ur insights,, so,, when ur servers jumble and delay things i get frustrated,, what i am refering to is this.
    a. this is fridays newsletter,
    b. it has thurs news headlines also
    c. even more frustrating is that ur economic calender for thurs is part of fridays newsletter,,
    d. ur economic calender when it works, is awesome, for example the e.i.a. not only includes the agency and the time to be released, but it also includes, graphs giving a clear picture of what the trend is.

    so yeah, it is very frustrating getting it a day late.

    5 Key Quotes from Amazon on the E-Commerce Industry [view article]

    In the earnings press release from Amazon.com today, Amazon included a $53 million one-time non-cash gain as "operating earnings" for their reported FY08 Q3, thus increasing their reported earnings per share for the reported quarter. Although I am not an accountant, this does not seem legitimate.

    Making this seem even more suspect (to me), is the fact that when asked by analyst Scott Devitt of Stifel Nicolaus during the subsequent conference call, Amazon stated that they are excluding said $53 million one-time non-cash charge in their full-year "operating-earnin... guidance. Is this acceptable?

    Can they use a one-time non-cash gain as operating earnings one place, but not another?

    Can they use a one-time non-cash gain as operating earnings--at all ??

    Sounds like Amazon, in effect, pulled a rabbit out of a hat to "make" their quarter, and please the Wall Street community. I can't imaging this is an acceptable, forthright nor an honest accounting practice. It may be even sneaky.

    "Operator"

    Your next question comes from the line of Scott Devitt – Stifel Nicolaus

    Scott Devitt – Stifel Nicolaus

    As it relates to the guidance and the change for the guidance last quarter you gave full year GAAP operating income guidance $740 to $940 and the GAAP operating income this quarter was I believe $57 million above expectations including the $53 million gain so I’m trying to get my hands around the updated guidance which is mostly unchanged from the prior GAAP operating income guidance and whether this new guidance includes or excludes the $53 million gain.

    Yes, the GAAP, the guidance excludes the $53 million gain."     Reply

    Well, Ash, that is yet another excellent analysis. Google-Yahoo cartel would suffer due to increasing Internet click fraud tyneham.wordpress.com and tyneham.blogspot.com. So, Ash, 10/10 for the latest analysis, but poor score for not communicating with tyneham by email/phone! Would you try Qormeh-Sabzi for breakfast?! Reply

    Based on the growth described, the price ValueClick will have to pay may already be steeper than they anticipated. If growth continues at this pace, they may need their entire war chest ($160 million) to generate interest from ThinkPartnership. Of course, there may be others with far deeper pockets who may decide to enter the bidding as well, all of which bodes well for this 50 cent stock. Just a thought. Reply

    Re: Opening banks to private equity:
    In business, once you have played all of your cards of maximizing efficiency and optimizing products and marketing, the final thing that one can do to increase returns is to increase risk. It certainly seems as if this is the point where the Fed is treading these days. The moves to date have been creative and, it would seem, effective; however, safeguards are being whittled down one at a time. they are there for reasons that have not gone away.     Reply

    It is fact that Citigroup had been offered over $50 billion for their real estate owned properties that devaluate day by day, so can someone please tell me why they would hold onto what is obviously a distressed asset like this? That offer, by the way, was made about a year ago.
