R.H. Donnelley: An Attractive Bet for High-Risk Investors- Barron's [view article]
The SEC finally eliminated naked shorts today. Note the upward pressure. If the uptick rule is finally reinstated this stock can reach a normal level. The shorts who do not cover will BURN! ReplyIdearc: Cheapest Stock in the Phone Book [view article]
If you really want to know what is going on at Idearc and why they are destined to mediocrity and worse, look at my blog and see if you can sense my intense aversion. I worked there and can only say that I loved the people I worked with and had nothing but supreme contempt for those I worked for. www.veridearc.blogspot... ReplyR.H.

Most YP companies can set up call tracking for advertisers. This enables the advertiser to know the calls were generated by the YP ad - even down to which book consumers are using.Or - the doc may do it the old fashion way. He may ask his Admin Asst. to simply ask the caller, "How did you find us?" Then they simply keep a tally of which type of advertising generates the most ads. It is not that difficult to do and most smart business owners will do this.

User, your comment is thought provoking. I'm curious as to how he knows calls are coming from old ads. My natural assumption is that he can't know unless he stopped using YP, but continued to see responses. If so, did he tell you why he quit using them (and has he resumed)? If not, how did he figure this out.Thanks in advance. Reply

My brother in law, a plastic surgeon, gets most of his business from the yellow pages. His patients are mostly 20 somethings seeking nose jobs, facial resculpturing and breast augmentation. He has tried internet advertising. It does not work for him. He also said he gets calls from older yellow page ads that have been out there a few years.

I agree with helsi. The last seven months for RDN was looking pretty bad, but all it took was a little legislation to be passed for it to soar. This stock deserves to be on the other chart now. Who would have guessed an 80 cent stock would hit $5 in such a short time period?! Timing is everything. ReplyR.H. Donnelley: An Attractive Bet for High-Risk Investors- Barron's [view article]
I like iar and think it is a better value and the article in Barron's actually via the charts indicate this!another cheap stock-- awrcf.ob-- asian infrastructure play - rev $510 million and net of .35, bk value over$10.00/sh ( doesn't include land and buildings updates), cash/sh $3.75, 13.8 million shares outstanding- Michael Dell's fund owns 20%, PSR=.08, 60% below book, trading near cash value-- nasdaq listing coming soon according to management--

just for grins i am going to buy 20,000 shares on Monday to squeeze the shorts. you know it will happen because it was in Barron's. it will be free money. hahahahahaha!!!!!! ReplyR.H. Donnelley: An Attractive Bet for High-Risk Investors- Barron's [view article]
Print advertising is extremely expensive. As a small business owner, I have to work within a tight budget. And like all other small business owners, I want my dollar to stretch as far as it will go. For my industry, yellow pages advertising is a complete waste of money. We've tested all kinds of ads in all kinds of directories. And it's never a good return on investment. What does work, and what is 1000 times more cost effective is internet advertising. The internet is what's killing the yellow pages. Perhaps the days of the YP is dwindling (just as the horse & buggy went by the wayside when the new technology known as the automobile showed up). ReplyR.H.

The shareholders can get wiped out in a hurry. I will want to see significant insider activity before I would want to get in. ReplyR.H. Donnelley: An Attractive Bet for High-Risk Investors- Barron's [view article]
This would be a $15 stock if the debt were,lets say,1.5bl...they have a good business. Kind of like a couple making 120k a year,but they have a mcmansion and 2 suvs and 2 kids in college...it does not compute.. ReplyR.H. Donnelley: An Attractive Bet for High-Risk Investors- Barron's [view article]
not to mention that anytime i need a plumber, CPA, lawyer, etc... i reach for the yellow pages - i think the yellow pages are still the most cost-effective form of advertising & aren't going away anytime soon - also - RHD's debt load has been coming down - though it's still very high ReplyBest and Worst Performing Stocks Seven Months Into 2008 [view article]
Nice article, but more informative would be using the same criteria for the last 6 - 7 weeks. ReplyBest and Worst Performing Stocks Seven Months Into 2008 [view article]
Banks and Broker firms wrapped toxic waste i.e.: subprime, credit card debt, car loans, etc. into structured finance vehicles i.e.: CDO-ABS-MBS-SIVs and misled the market into buying them and bond insurers into insure them and now they have to clear their books from this toxic waste which is going to take time quarter after quarter but without a doubt will improve their book value.
