Jamba Juice: If You Build It, Will They Come?

You know, Jamba fits your own criteria of cheap and not levered. Maybe it's worth a shot? (I'm not talking about a wheatgrass shot)

Circuit City Earnings: The Devil Is Always in the Details

If we are at chapter 8, that means we are past the toughest part - chapter 7.

Blogonomics: The Seeking Alpha Model

David-Thank you for your reply. I don't see why you can't have both. Leave the left side bar as is, and add a link at the beginning (or end?) of the post to the original article permalink.

Blogonomics: The Seeking Alpha Model

Thanks David, Bill for your replies.

David--a suggestion. A simple way to offer more value to your contributors at no cash cost to you is to change back to the old model of source links. Under the old model, each link to the original post was clear and prominent as the articles began "John Doe submits..." including the link in the article text. Now the link is far less prominent, outside the article body under the author picture.

Blogonomics: The Seeking Alpha Model

Great article. Great site. What I don't get is the business model. Is all revenue from ads on the site? Or is it build traffic then cash out? Or are there future plans that I can't see yet? Whatever it is...good luck!

Also where do the transcripts come from? Can't be just those 16 editors! Do you have a team of consultants too? It's really amazing that you offer them for free. Thank you!

Harley-Davidson: Recession-Friendly Domestic Investment

Yup, a longer term winner. All the whiners today are the reason you can be the stock so cheaply.

Is the New Generation of Financial Content an Opportunity or Threat for Investor Relations?

"I'm short TSCM because I've spent the last three years building Seeking Alpha, and I want to hedge my stake in it."

Are you for real? That seems like a terrible way to hedge your SA long as the two are far from correlated. SA falls apart for one of a zillion reasons, your TSCM short won't save you. Plus you better have a HUGE short position if you want to hedge your full time job in a meaningful way. A better way to hedge would be to take money off the table and sell a stake to a strategic investor that can add value via distribution or some other way.

What Should the Spread on a Corporate Bond Be?

very creative!

Sears Holdings May Have Downside to $75

Liquidation estimates are all over the map. $90 suggested here. I think Barron's suggested around $300 a few months ago. If I were to investe in it I'd need to do a lot of work and come to my own conclusion here.

What Kind of "Evolution" Is Hellman Friedman Planning for Getty Images?

They are paying a low price to cashflow, so maybe HF doesn't need to do much to make this a winner.
