My favorite for an acquistion of Local Corp is Alibaba - no other US-company offers a better entry in the strong growing US-local-search-market

For example: Alibaba win similar US-Monthly-Unique Visitors like Twitter has today: Monthly unique us-visitors of Twitter and Local Corp near equal, but the market-cap of twitter is with 32,960 million the 890-fold of the idiotic low 37 million of local corp.

The monthly unique visitors of Twitter (Market-cap = 32,960 million) are with 42,261,821 less than double of the flagshipsite of Local Corp. The flagship-site of Local Corp (market-cap = 37 million) has 22,101,600 unique visitors. And additional between 15 and 20 million monthly unique visitors comes from the network of Local Corp of 1,600+ sites, because this Monthly Unique Visitors were count by the newspapers-sites. The 22 million from the flagshipsite and the 15-20 million from the network are together a similiar number of monhtly unique visiitor like by Twitter.

The increase of Monthly Unique Visitors of Twitter was only 5,26% and Twitter had a decrease year over year of 1,83%. For compare: The numbers of Local Corp are increases against the last month of 12.28% and against the last year of 17.90%.

Spielchen ablaufen, wie ich sie auch beim Anstieg von ICG Group von $3.40 auf jetzt annähernd $18 erlebt habe, wo es auch massives Naked Shortselling, Wash-Tradings usw. gab.

Auch da habe ich jedes Dip gekauft und über zehn Jahre Geduld gezeigt.  

ist das alles sehr okay:

Das habe ich übrigens noch nicht auf dem US-Yahooo-Board gepostet, um es Euch zu erleichtern, billiig von den vielen kleinen Naked-Shortselling-Idioten in den USA zu kaufen. Denn immerhin hatten wir gestern in Deutschland ein selten dagewesenes Volumen von ca. 24.000 Stück.

Mit meinen inzwischen 95.300 Stück würde ich bei weiteren Zukäufen meine sowieso schon arg überstrapazierten Streuungsregeln noch weiter verletzen.

 

schon seit lägeren ist es mir nicht mehr möglich die Aktie von Local über Cortal C zu ordern,
werde mal anrufen woran das liegt.
 

#6210 + 6211

Diese Zahlen sollten doch offiziell von der AG über die HP  publiziert  werden,ein aggressiver Newsflow findet  nicht  statt.
Keine Investoren Konferenz , keine Roadshow .....Die AG ist völlig unbekannt, Pressearbeit  mies.Shorties machen was sie wollen, keine Nachfrfage am Markt.
Libuda, du als Großaktionär kannst vll. dort in diese Richtung etwas ansprechen. Du bist da schon ein eigener Venture-Fondverwalter. Sicher verstehst du was ich meine?
Hoffe der neue CEO wird in der PR  etwas verändern, werde den Gedanken nicht los: Die Geschäftsleitung will keinen höheren Kurs ?  

denn eine Kapitalerhöhung steht wohl nicht an, sodass man aus Unternehmenssicht nicht jetzt einen hohen Kurs braucht. Und für das Management ist ein niedriger Kurs insofern interessant, als sie ja die Zahlung ihrer nicht fixen Gehaltsbestandteile in Akten akzeptieren. Aber langfrisitg ist auch das Management an steigenden Kursen interessiert.

Das ist eine Situation, wie ich sie auch viele Jahre bei ICG Group erlebt habe - und diese Zeit genutzt habe, um meinen Aktienbestand massiv nach oben zu fahren. Das geht aber nur, wenn man sehr viel Zeit und Geduld besitzt und an die  extreme Unterbewertung der Aktie glaubt.

Ich habe Zeit, ich habe Geduld und halte aus den nachstehenden Gründen Local Corp für extrem unterbewertet.

Strong Cash Flow from Network: The company's efforts to increase sales from its high-margin Network business could help to generate substantial cash flow in the years ahead.
Local has revved up its sales initiatives within its high-margin Network Publishing
business. This business helps merchants and community websites monetize
consumer traffic through genre-specific advertisements carefully targeted to
consumer interests and local communities. As more revenue accrues from this
business, the company's margin mix should improve leading to more consistent
profits and cash flow.

The Bonus Program is based on meeting or exceeding certain Financial Performance Goals (the “FPGs”) and certain Personal Performance Goals (the “PPGs”). Each employee has been assigned a bonus target equal to a percentage of their base salary (for NEOs, as outlined in their respective employment agreements with the Company) (the “Threshold Target Bonus”) and a Maximum Target Bonus of up to 200% of the Threshold Target Bonus (the “Maximum Target Bonus”) based upon over-achievement of FPGs and PPGs. The FPGs will be subject to a minimum performance threshold; under which no bonuses related to the FPG is paid (the “Minimum Target Bonus”). In calculating the Maximum Target Bonus and Minimum Target Bonus with respect to an FPG, any overachievement or underachievement of an FPG shall result in an increase or decrease in the bonus payable with respect to such individual FPG, as follows:

The FPG target relates to the achievement of certain Adjusted EBITDA targets, as set by the Compensation Committee:


FPG Achievement Percentage % of Bonus Payable with Respect to Such FPG

Under 70% 0%

70% to 100% 100% less 1.667 percentage points for each percentage point under 100% of the FPG Target

Over 100% to 200% 100% plus 1 percentage point for each percentage point above 100% of the FPG Target.

Over 200% 200%

The amount represented by the Threshold Target Bonus, the Maximum Target Bonus and the Minimum Target Bonus is referred to as the “Bonus.”

For the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the President and Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel, the Bonus is measured based solely upon the achievement of the FPGs.

For all other employees, the Bonus is measured based upon achievement of a combination of FPGs and PPGs, as determined by the Company’s management team on an individual employee basis

Local Corporation’s Krillion Platform Powers Shopping Channel for NH.xxx
Expands Distribution of Valuable Product Data to Consumers in Local Markets

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2014-- Local Corporation (NASDAQ: LOCM), a leading online local media company, today announced that it is powering a new local shopping channel for popular New Hampshire site, NH.xxx.

Local Corporation’s new local shopping channel enables publishers to drive new digital revenue and traffic through the integration of dynamic local shopping content from the company’s patented Krillion local shopping platform.

Local Corporation’s Krillion local shopping platform provides relevant local product search results, including retail locations, brands, categories, product images and product inventory and availability data, to connected consumers researching online prior to purchase.

xxxx stand for ... (everybody knows)
 

Very positive is this part of my last posting: "The channel provides a local discovery experience for both advertisers and consumers, and features one of the largest and most comprehensive local shopping data indexes in the industry, with over 84,000 retail stores, covering over 3,000 shopping categories, representing millions of localized products."

The date of this posting is: IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2014--

In the postings three months ago, Local Corp reported from 75,000 retail stores. That means: Local Corp has increased the number of retail stores in only three month 9,000 from 75,000 to 84,000 - that is an increase of 12% in a quarter or 57% (1.12*1,12*1,12*1,12 = 1.57) on yearly base.  

Chance:

The big number from the criminal crime behind The Street Sweeper manipulated small naked shortseller has not any chance against excellent fundamentals
The following legal shortselling, which include share-lending, only the peak of the iceberg of the complete shortselling, because about not legal naked shortselling were not reported and this very bigger part of complete shortselling can therefore not be part of the published numbers.

The result of an addition of legal shortselling with share-lending and criminal not legal naked shortselling is after my estimates about 10 million shares - thart are about more than 40% of the outstanding 23 million shares.
 

Twitter is extreme overvalued in near any compare

For example: Twitter has only the 7.2-fold revenues of Local Corp, but with 37.58 billion the 1015-fold market-cap of the idiotic low 37 million of Local Corp. Such a divergence will never lasten.

Local Corp., the company that connects consumers with all local businesses, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013
• Sequential revenue growth up 4% to $23.5 million in Q3-13 from $22.7 million in Q2-13.
• Adjusted EBITDA up 12% to $1.3 million in Q3-13 from $1.2 million in Q2-13.

Twitter posted third-quarter revenue of $168.6 million, which compares favorably to its collected $253.6 million in the first half 2013 revenue.

According to its newly refiled S-1 document, Twitter has lost $133.8 million to date in 2013. That compares negatively with its equivalent loss of $70.7 million in 2012. Both loss figures include the results of the first 9 months of the calendar year.
 

Does it makes sense, that Yelp with the 2.6-fold revenues of the following company has the 145-fold market-cap of Local Corp with the following numbers?

From the first 3 quarters of 2013 Local Corp reported from positive EBIDTA's and Q4/13 will be positive, too

Local Corporation Launches Mobile Pay-Per-Call Lead Generation Network - IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 5, 2013--

Local Corporation (NASDAQ: LOCM), a leading online local media company, today announced that it has launched a mobile pay-per-call lead generation network.

The new network connects online and on-the-go consumers searching for local businesses and services in specific categories with relevant advertisers who provide those services via pay-per-call ads. Based on the valuable pay-per-call ad model, the network provides advertisers with a new channel to generate quality consumer leads in local markets and convert them to customers via mobile.

The network generates leads for top auto insurance, home security and home service providers. The company plans to expand the network to additional verticals, including education and consumer finance .
 

The business of Local Corp is more sustainable than the business of Yelp
Yelp is bad for real consumer-products, you can it only use for restaurants and similar. But if you had found an excellent restaurant, you will ignore Yelp in the future.

But by every buy of a new product, you want to look at the inventory of some shops around you and use an offer of Local Corp, especially since Krillion was intergrated in hte most offers of Local Corp.

And therefore a rational investor will hurry with a change from extreme overvalued Yelp with the big danger of a fast saturation to the extreme undervalued Local Corp with a lot higher sustainabilty than Yelp.
