TWST: You cover content providers. What are the major trends you are seeing with the Internet content providers?

Ms. Martin: My coverage includes content companies online and offline. I am specifically focused on how content is being redefined in the Internet age, and how the economics are shifting as content migrates to the digital world. The biggest distinction we've seen between these two groups is a rotation out of high multiple online content stocks since March. Staying with my online content companies, the biggest valuation trend is that we're seeing a huge premium being paid for mobile revenue.

Pandora (P), Facebook (FB) and Twitter (TWTR) have more than 50% of their revenue from mobile and command three to five times multiple point premiums for this fact. Why? In huge parts of the world, there are users who access the Internet only via their smartphones. They don't have tablets; they don't have laptops. In fact, Facebook disclosed in their 1Q14 earnings that 55% of their 1.3 billion users access Facebook only via smartphone.

By implication, if a company has figured out how to monetize its product via smartphone, its growth trajectory is higher and longer because it may be able to generate money from big parts of the world that other companies cannot. If a company is able to crack the code on mobile monetization, its multiple expands three to five times revenue because it has an option to monetize half the world's population.

Every company in the Internet space is trying to solve the hard problem of how to monetize on mobile devices. It's just a really hard problem to solve. Consumer demand on mobile devices has been growing at triple digits for three years. Most Internet companies we cover get 40% of their traffic on mobile devices, but only 10% of the revenue from mobile devices. Closing that gap is the single most important valuation driver.

TWST: Right now, who is best positioned then with that particular mobile switch?

For more of this interview go to TWST.


Fred Thiel, CEO of Local Corp in the last Conference Call: "We’re working to integrate mobile into everything we do. All of our new initiatives and products are built to deliver across all devices and channels. Similar to others across the industry, mobile continues to monetize at lower rates, but we are continuously optimizing and testing ad units and content to betwter understand consumer behavior and engagement."

We’re pleased to see the sequential improvement in this monetization metric. We’re a data-driven company and we’ll continue to leverage our testing and analytics tools to optimize monetization of all our traffic. I’m also happy to report the approved monetization continues in the early part of the second quarter of 2014. "

"Our third avenue of growth involves implementing a phased approach to our patent strategy. As a first step in executing that strategy, we are in the process of transferring the other 11 of our 12 issued patents into a dedicated IP holding subsidiary. We believe this structure will provide us with the most flexibility solution to leverage the value of our intellectual property, allowing us to easily license our IP, form joint ventures, spin off assets individually or as a portfolio, or execute on other strategic alternatives."

Anstieg von $3,40 uaf $20 genauso:

The combination of first insider-buys and the strong increase of holdings of instiutionals will destroy the lot of naked shortselling-lemmings of the criminal crime behind The Street Sweeper. But the criminal crime behind The Street Sweeper had covered their naked shortsellling positions since montha and is buying shares of Local Corp since months.

But I can't understand that the SEC and Finra toerating such manipulations of the criminal crime behind The Street Sweeper.

Und vor 2005 habe ich auf comdirect zu Internet Capital gepostet, wo ich von einer Anti-Internet Capital-Mafia, die bei über 4.000 Dollar (in Worten "viertausend") gekauft hatte (um genau zu sein bei $214, was dann bei einem 1:20-Schnitt auf $4.280 hinauslief) und an mich dann zu $3,40 verkaufte, mit permanenten Meldungen überzogen und daraufhin gesperrt wurde.

Und dass das viele waren, könnt Ihr relativ leicht am Absturz von Internet Capital von $4.280 auf $3,40 erkennen.
