und der Volalität der Aktien (die angesichts der vollkommenen Finanzierung mit Eigenkapital absurd ist und von Shortsellern künstlich produziert wird), ist die Entwicklung des Kurses nicht außergewöhnlich im Vergleich mit anderen Aktien.
Trotzdem ist die Entwicklung bei einem Vergleich mit den Fundamentals absurd:

da kaum mehr etwas im Freefloat liegt,
könnte hier tatsächlich etwas ähnliches wie bei VW passieren !
ICGE könnte mit dem Rückkaufprogramm mit wenig Käufen die Aktie
in den Himmel jagen !
Shortsqueeze - schon weil der Verkauf von der Perle ICG Commerce jederzeit für
viele hundert Millionen € über die Bühne gehen kann -
und danach hätte ICGE doppelt soviel Cash wie die momentane MK !!!
Und die anderen vielen erfolgreichen schnellwachsenden 15 Beteiligungen,
viele davon schon mit über 55 Mio. € Jahresumsatz gäbe es noch umsonst hinzu !
Diese perverse Unterbewertung nimmt gerade sein Ende - vorher kaufen -
am besten in Amerika - dort bekommt man die Aktien billiger !

also mit einem IPO wird es in nächster Zeit nichts werden und deswegen sehe ich keine Kursexplosion, es ist sowieso gesünder, wenn der Kurs sich stätig weiter entwickelt.

ICG Commerce sollte aber mindestens 300 Mio. Dollar wert sein !
Und die könnte tagtäglich verkauft werden -
dann hätte ICGE plötzlich mehr als die doppelte MK als Cash ohne Schulden !
Was das für den Kurs bedeuten würde kann sich hoffentlich jeder vorstellen !
Und danach kommt Freeborders an die Börse (100% Wachstum pro Jahr in China!)
Das wird ein Freudenfest !
ICG Commerce wurde übrigens zur absoluten Nr. 1 gewählt (von unabhängigen Experten)
Ariba ist da nur auf Platz 21 (glaube ich) gelandet !
Das sagt eigentlich schon alles (und Ariba hat sehr hohes Ansehen in Amerika) -
wieviel ICGE unter Wert liegt !
Charttechnisch bricht ICGE gerade nach oben aus - dürfte langsam schnell gehen -
da die Beteiligungen noch zusätzlich letztes Jahr im Durchschnitt um 30 % Wachstum generiert haben !
Fazit:
Tagtäglich kann ein Merger (Interessenten gibt es genug!) den Kurs von ICGE zum explodieren bringen -
Vorher kaufen !

dass Internet Capital momentan gegen Cash verkauft, da man selbst genug davon hat. Ein Aktientausch halte ich für denkbar, z.B dass man für 65% an ICGCommerce Aktien von Genpact im Wert von 200 Millionen erhält, die sich im Lauf von 2009 auf 400 Millionen verdoppeln.
ICG Commerce Announces Relocation and Expansion of Corporate Headquarters and North American Center of Excellence
Friday February 6, 10:00 am ET
Expansion Is Fueled by Double-Digit, Year-Over-Year Growth
PHILADELPHIA, PA--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 6, 2009 -- Leading procurement outsourcing specialist, ICG Commerce, today announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters and North American operations center to a more expansive 55,000 square foot facility in King of Prussia, PA. The move is driven by ICG Commerce's continued double-digit, year-over-year growth and will accommodate plans for future expansion. The new facility, which is in close proximity to the company's previous location, will house its North American Center of Excellence, which includes 300 sourcing and procurement professionals.
ADVERTISEMENT
ICG Commerce's focus on helping Fortune 1000 clients aggressively drive multi-million dollar cost reductions across indirect expenditures continues to fuel strong growth, even in a weak economy. The company continues to proactively recruit top talent, including procurement professionals and supply market experts in areas such as IT/telecom, logistics, marketing, travel, MRO and plant services, facilities management and professional services.
To create a space that will facilitate collaboration, innovation and continuous improvement, ICG Commerce engaged local interior design firm, D2 Solutions, Inc., to develop an "open office" environment that will promote a rapid and high degree of communication. The design firm worked closely with a cross-functional team of employees that had been assembled to participate in the decision-making process.
In place of individual offices and cubicle walls, the new space, which is a former industrial warehouse containing 30 foot ceilings and large windows throughout, will provide flexible seating arrangements that can be easily reconfigured to facilitate both inter- and cross-functional teamwork. In this spirit, the company's management team, including the CEO, will also be seated in the open space with their respective teams.
With this move, the company has taken the opportunity to place greater emphasis on using resources in a responsible manner that benefits the environment and improves efficiency, an initiative defined as "smart green," which influenced the selection of lighting, appliances, printer configurations, and other key decisions for the new space.
ICG Commerce also has Centers of Excellence and delivery centers in Europe and Asia and recently opened an office in London and a second office in China.
"This move marks a significant milestone for the company and has given us the opportunity to provide an enhanced working environment for our employees that fits our culture, enables innovation and facilitates productivity," said Carl Guarino, Chief Executive Officer, ICG Commerce. "The design and layout of the new space will provide the flexibility needed to continue to meet our clients' needs and our business goals."

News from ICGCommerce 9-Feb-09 10:35 am ICG Commerce Announces Engagement With Whirlpool Corporation
Monday February 9, 10:00 am ET
PHILADELPHIA, PA--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 9, 2009 -- ICG Commerce, a leading procurement outsourcing specialist, has signed a multi-year agreement with Whirlpool Corporation, the world's leading manufacturer of home appliances. The contract engages ICG Commerce to help drive cost reductions by aggressively attacking $1 billion of indirect expenditures across the U.S. with services that include sourcing, category management and transaction processing.
ADVERTISEMENT
Recognizing the opportunity to increase savings across indirect spend, Whirlpool engaged ICG Commerce to help drive greater efficiencies within the Marketing, IT/Telecom, MRO, and Professional Services and Travel expenditures. The partnership allows Whirlpool to accelerate savings opportunities by gaining fast access to ICG Commerce's deep category and global expertise, market intelligence and buying center infrastructure.
"While Whirlpool was already tightly managing direct and key indirect expenditures, we recognized the value of bringing in ICG Commerce to quickly expand our spend management efforts," said Michelle Dilley, General Manager of Global Indirect Goods and Services Sourcing. "Leveraging its market insight and experience, ICG Commerce has structured a solution that will enable us to achieve sizable realized savings across a broader range of spend in the first year of our program."
"With a mandate to improve business results, we looked to procurement spend as an area in which we can achieve a measurable impact," said John Miller, Senior Vice President of Global Sourcing. "We sought ICG Commerce as the best partner to accomplish our goal based on its proven success to deliver real savings through its outsourced procurement platform."
This engagement comes alongside a number of other recent contract wins and expansions for ICG Commerce, including leaders in the oil and gas, pharmaceutical and technology industries.
"The current economy has prompted more and more companies to look for savings opportunities to drive margin improvement and ultimately realize earnings growth," said Carl Guarino, Chief Executive Officer of ICG Commerce. "Whirlpool was quick to identify procurement spend as a meaningful target, and we are proud to provide the support that will enable this company to achieve cost reductions and focus on its strategic goals."
About Whirlpool
Whirlpool Corporation is the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances, with annual sales of approximately $19 billion, 73,000 employees, and 69 manufacturing and technology research centers around the world.

Da Metastorm einen positiven Cash Flow hat und Gewinne macht, dürfte aber die Finanzierung des organischen Wachstums auch ohne finanzielle Mittel aus dem Ipo kein Problem sein - und zu viel Übernahmen sind eh problematisch, denn da hat Metastorm aus den letzten Jahren sowieso noch einiges zu verdauen.

denn bei nach dem Rückkauf nur noch 34 Milllionen Aktien und dem heutigen Kurs wird die Marktkapitalisierung schon fast ausschließlich durch die nach dem Verkauf auf 125 Millionen Dollar angewachsene Cash abgedeckt.
