Local.com aussichtsreich

Gefällt mir gut , MS kauft parallel auch Handy Geschäft von Nokia = Smartfon= Mobil= LOCL

Egal was nun im Kurs passiert,diese Nachricht ist ein Bigpoint. Der Markt wird die Aktie nun vielmehr beachten müssen.Auf die Zukunft.....  

Letztendlich waren es mehr als 16%. Anfangs haben mit Sicherheit nackte Shortseller gecovert. Anschließend haben nicht nur Kleininvestoren ihre Gewinn sichergestellt, sondern ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass da auch wieder massive Leerverkäufen im Markt waren, um die Handelrange in den Begriff zu bekommen, damit die Verlust nicht noch größer werden.  

Frage.

Und es gibt eine simple Antwort darauf: Die gibt es gar nicht - genau wie in Andersen Märchens von des Kaiser Kleidern. Es werden also aus Manipulationsgründen Aktien verkauft, die es gar nicht gibt Deses Spielchen, das sich Naked Shortselling nennt, ist inzwiswchen bei uns verboten - und in den USA auch.

Aber was nützen Verbote, wenn sie gezielt nicht kontrolliert werden, weil die Kontrolleure mit den Betrügern früher den Arbeitsplatz teilten. Dieser Zusammenhang verschwindet zwar immer mehr, aber seine Auflösung braucht eben Zeit  - und er bietet enorme Chancen, z.B. für alle, die sich mit Local Corp-Aktien momentan vollsaugen.  

Nach meiner Einschätzung müsste Local jetzt nochmal die Umsatzziele nach oben korrigieren. Ob dadurch das Ergebnis verbessert wird bleibt abzuwarten. Vielleicht verbessert der Deal nicht unbedingt das Finanzergebnis. Immerhin hat Local jetzt Verträge mit google,yahoo und bing also den drei großen Suchportalen. Damit ist man weniger Abhängig von Veränderungen bei einer der drei genannten Firmen. Eine sehr spannende Situation wie ich finde, da mit den Patenten im Hintergrund die Wahrscheinlichkeit steigt, daß irgendwann mal ein Übernahmeangebot kommt, wenn einer der Partner die anderen beiden "ausschalten" möchte.  

explodieren, denn um den machen zu können, musste man hier sicher Zugeständnisse machen. Aber die zusätzlichen Erlöse dürften fast ausschließlich zusätzliche Gewinne sein, da zusätzliche variable Kosten nicht enstehen - ähnlich wie bei einem Softwareprodukt. Investitionen in eine noch verbesserte Qualität von Shop by Local wirken sich dann auch bei den Erlösen im Netzwerk aus.

Was für ein BIG THING Shop by Local ist, kann man daran sehen, dass Local Corp nach der Integration von Krillion in die bestehende Produkte als Shop by Local die Zahl der Mitglieder seines Netzwerkes in nur einem Quartal (Q2/2013) von 1.200 auf 1.600 steigern konnte, während man für die ersten 1.200 mehrere Jahre benötigte.  

Local Corp - und kommt ohne Lizenzierung meines Erachtens auch nicht aus. Vermutlich wird allerdings Local Corp keinen Prozess gegen Ebay, die logischerweise sehr viel finanzkräftiger sind, nicht riskieren - und das weiß Ebay auch. Aber als Aufkaufobjekt wird Local Corp dadurch interessanter, denn ein finanzkräftiger Aukkäufer kann auch Ebay verklagen - und das wissen um diese Möglichkeit könnte Ebay wiederum dazu bewegen, doch eine Lizenzierung - wenn auch zu niedrigen Beträgen, denn später würde es teurer - vorzunehmen.

Microsoft ist ja schon diesen Weg gegangen und auch Gannett hat im Rahmen des Kaufs von Rovion die Nutzung von Krillion lizenziert.

Wie schon im letzten Posting angeführt, muss es dabei nicht unbedingt um hohe Beträge gehen, aber diese zusätzlichen Umsätze erhöhen des Gewinn in gleichem Umfang, da sie keine zusätzlichen Kosten produzieren.  

Local Corp Goes Nation-Wide in New Pact With Microsoft

In company news, Local Corp ( LOCM ) is up 20% at near $2.00 a share, rising to as high as $2.30 - its best price levels since early January - after the online local media company reached an agreement to provide Microsoft ( MSFT ) with location-based local product data for the Bing search engine.

LOCL's Krillion shopping data platform will help power Bing's local product search results, adding relevant retail locations, brands and categories as well as product availability data and other details.

Financial terms of the pact were not disclosed. MSFT shares are up 0.6% today at near $31.40 each.
 

Directories give publishers a way to target local advertisers with a low-cost, self-serve alternative to traditional banners and display ads

Pretty much every hyperlocal publisher out there is on the lookout for new ways to generate revenue. In addition to employing in-house sales teams and using ad networks to fill unsold inventory, publications can increase revenue by integrating business directories into their existing sites. Directories give publishers a way to target local advertisers with a low-cost, self-serve alternative to traditional banners and display ads. Just as importantly, they provide instant value to readers interested in learning more about the merchants in their hometowns.  

Local.Corp will provide location-based local product search results for web searches through Bing

Local Corp's new deal will also integrate search results using the company's Krillion platform. Krillion offers unique searching, connecting customers and retailers with actual products in stock, using patented technology.

According to Searchenginejournal, the following retailers participate in Krillion technology:

·Best Buy (BBY), Costco (COST), Express (EXPR), Fry's, Home Depot (HD), K-Mart (SHLD), Lowe's (LOW), Nordstrom (JWN), Orchard Supply (OSHWQ.PK), Office Depot (OD), Radio Shack (RSH), Rite Aid (RAD), Sears (SHLD), Staples (SPLS), Target (TGT), True Value, Wal-Mart (WMT).

In the press release linked above, Local Corp's chief executive officer Heath Clarke had this to say about the deal:

"We're pleased to be partnering with Bing to provide relevant local product shopping information to millions of customers. Our dynamic local product data enhances the online shopping experience for consumers by providing them with valuable information about which retailers carry the products they are looking for."
 

The partnership with Microsoft connects Local Corp to millions of customers searching for products and services through Bing. Microsoft's search engine has seen growth recently against larger rival Google (GOOG). In July, Bing had a 17.9% market share of searches in the United States. This number is up 2% from the previous year. Bing has seen growth through growing demand for Windows 8 products and being the search of choice for Apple's (AAPL) Siri voice search technology. Google and Yahoo (YHOO) had market shares of 67% and 11.3%, respectively for the month of July.  

I gave three key reasons: Local.com competes in high growth areas, has an extensive website portfolio, and is a buyout target. All three of those key points remain true today and are reasons to go long this small cap stock. Local.com has extensive partnerships with websites, newspapers, and the Yellow Pages to bring local search results to customers online. The website operator is paid to offer its search results and has a strong customer base that will continue to provide a steady revenue stream. Investors should watch and consider buying this stock that seems ready to take off at under $2 a share.

Local Corporation Launches Next Generation of its Krillion Local Shopping Platform
.

Company Expands Data Aggregation Capabilities; Offers Location-Based Product API Covering Over 75,000 Retail Stores and 23,000 Brands

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Local Corporation (LOCM), a leading online local media company, today announced that it has launched the next generation of its Krillion local shopping platform, which provides dynamic location-based product search data for millions of local consumers nationwide.

The Krillion local shopping data index, one of the largest and most comprehensive in the industry, now includes over 75,000 retail stores, covering over 3,000 shopping categories and over 23,000 leading consumer brands, representing millions of products. The platform also includes a new API, providing business partners and customers with an efficient way to integrate local shopping solutions and content into desktop and mobile sites and applications.
 

Die heute gepostete Nachricht steht meiner Meinung nach in direktem Zusammenhang mit dem Bing-Deal und der Ankündigung ein "world-class-Produkt" für mobiles Marketing auf den Markt zu bringen.

Gestern hatte ich schon den Eindruck, daß Shortseller alle 2 Minuten mit 100 Stück-Paketen den Preis drücken wollten. Oder hier ist ein "Trading-Programm" am Werk.

Wie auch immer. Wenn die Ankündigung bezgl. Krillion hält was sie verspricht muss jetzt meiner Meinung nach eine Kurs-Vervielfachung drin sein. Sogar auf das bestehende Patent wird nochmal nachdrücklich verwiesen.

Ich harre mit Spannung und 14.000 shares was jetzt wohl kommt.....

Bis jetzt ist es den Shortsellern oder dem Shortseller noch gelungen, durch zwischenzeitliche weitere Leerverkäufe die potenziellen Anleger zu verunsichern - aber das wird nicht mehr lange anhalten, weil an die Stelle von nervösen Kleinzockern starke Hände treten, die rational analysieren, dass Local Corp bei über $10 stehen müsste und nicht bei $2.
