Congrats. I don't own it but noticed the AH activity.

Congrats. I don't own it but noticed the AH activity.

8-k, deal with Google. Sold mine for a sweet profit in AH. I wouldn't be surprised to see it run tomorrow morning.

Shorts must be really upset lol.

So anyway, I'm usually only looking for 10% so this was an easy win for me.

Congrats to you LOCM longs, even though I already took profit I'm excited to see if it runs hard tomorrow.

Long LOCM

Nobody knows because it depends on market conditions. Probably sometime in the fall of 2011.

When will Groupon IPO ?

Is everything just wild guesses at this point or is there a rough date/week when it happens?

I agree, but the overall market is going into a rough patch. Buying LOCM below $3.50 is a good idea. There is plenty of time to get in LOCM before the Groupon IPO happes this fall.

Cause one of LOCMs units is doing the same business as Groupon does! Google wanted to buy Groupon for $6B!

LOCMs new spreebird service á la Groupon!

Market cap of http://www.local.com is just around 80M!

Why?
Why will LOCM blast upward when Groupon does it's IPO?

Groupon IPO is going to make LOCM fly and shorts are going to suffer big time !

LOCM short squeeze gamble

Long: LOCM

Yup. Spreebird should be an engine of growth for LOCM. Yesterday's earnings were a disappointment at face value, but the loss was due to investments in future revenue generators like Spreebird, so in the long run LOCM should do well.

LOCM's website Spreebird is back, and now offering deals!

Spreebird is back, and now offering deals! Check it out: http://www.spreebird.com/deals/san-franc...

LOCM now has a Groupon clone site.

Is Local.Com (LOCM) The Next Big Internet Stock?

See the story at: http://hubpages.com/hub/Is-LocalCom-LOCM-The-Next-Big-Internet-Stock

LOCM earnings due out in early May. If it does a TZOO type of move, the LOCM is going to be much higher than $4.40 after earnings. Can you believe the low marketcap that LOCM has compared to companies like OPEN and TZOO?

The analysts give LOCM a price target of $8 per share. Even that seems low considering what OPEN trades for, given it has similiar revenue and earnings as LOCM. LOCM has many more unique users than OPEN though, and a broader business model that can be expended and changed, as markets change.

LOCM earnings report expected in early May. I think given YHOO's good earnings last night, LOCM's earnings should be good. LOCM's visitors have been upticking in recent months.

No, I already traded it sorry.

Any price target on LOCM ?
I see they have launched Spreebird.com "groupon" buying site it's 100% own by Local.com , no PR yet right?
Chart is fighting the MA200 right now.

Groupon.com is doing very well in Europe and US so why not SPREEBIRD?
Google wanted to buy groupon for 6 billion US$ but they denied the offer.
Market cap on LOCM is right now only @$95.50M

Could be a very fast double imo...

Check out this timing

$6k profit on the LOCM short squeeze

Jason Bond

LOCM popping. At $4.78 now. Not sure why?

I think LOCM is a buy again now that it is trading below $3.50 per share. Time to load up for the next ride up.

What did LOCM say about their poor business performance/outlook?

http://www.timothysykes.com/news/16286-all-the-best-and-most-actively-traded-penny-stocks-for-ya/

Sykes said they disclosed something and I'm not seeing it right away in the press releases. Was it the lower revenue-per-click on Yahoo?

Between Google rumors and short squeeze, not a bad ride, but it's difficult to predict and upward move based on anything else. I look for it to hold 5.75.

BUYINS.NET Updates Local.com SqueezeTrigger Report

Press Release Source: BUYINS.NET On Monday December 13, 2010, 12:21 pm EST

Approximately 28.27 Million Shares Shorted Since August 2009
Short Squeeze Underway as Stock Above $5.51 SqueezeTrigger Price


NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Dec. 13, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BUYINS.NET, http://www.buyins.net, a leading provider of Regulation SHO compliance monitoring, short sale trading statistics and market integrity surveillance, has updated coverage on Local.com (Nasdaq:LOCM - News) after releasing the latest short sale data through December 10, 2010. The total aggregate number of shares shorted since August 2009 is approximately 28.27 million shares. Approximately 24.24% of daily trading volume is short selling. The SqueezeTrigger price for all (Nasdaq:LOCM - News) shares shorted is $5.51. A short squeeze has already begun as LOCM is above its $5.51 SqueezeTrigger Price.

Friction Factor calculates if a fair market is being made in the shares of LOCM. 53% of the previous 38 trading days have been positive or bullish-biased and 47% have been negative or bearish-biased.



Regulation SHO requires bona-fide market-making activities to include making purchases and sales in roughly comparable amounts. The Commission has stated that bona-fide market-making DOES NOT include activity that is related to speculative selling strategies or investment purposes of the broker-dealer and is disproportionate to the usual market making patterns or practices of the broker-dealer in that security. Likewise, where a market-maker posts continually at or near the best offer, but does not also post at or near the best bid, the market-maker's activities would not generally qualify as bona-fide market-making. Moreover, a market-maker that continually executes short sales away from its posted quotes would generally not be considered to be engaging in bona-fide market-making.

Big Pimpin Today!

Thanks for the follow-up.

He said the hit piece about Local.Com was 100% true. Ouch! But he also said that these scammy companies can be good trades because they know how to run their stock up. Are Local.Com's revenues and earnings real? If they are, then this stock looks like a bargain. But I guess the gist of the hit piece was that Local.Com is cooking the books and their revenues and earnings are a shell game and the stock is trading in response to fake numbers, thus trading too high based on fraudulent numbers.

I think publicity, good or bad, is good for Local.Com's exposure, website visits and eventually earnings. I would buy ahead of the next earnings report in Oct.

And Sykes is still trading it...
He's in-and-out, but some 1-paragraph commentary worth reading:
http://www.timothysykes.com/news/13460-8-microcap-nasdaq-gainers-to-watch/

Isn't any publicity good for a company like Local.com? I mean, I never heard of Local.com until this stock drop and negative hit piece, and now I am using their website. I think this publicity is going to drive traffic to their website. Not that you can't get the same with Yahoo Local, but it helps to have other options for local information.

http://www.timothysykes.com/news/13296-8-free-penny-stock-picks-with-which-we-are-killing-it/

Im watching it for a possible re-entry for another bounce. Stock bounced from a low of 4.51 on wed to a high of 5.10 in the pre-market on thursday.

Is LOCM a buy here or more fallout? I am a bit concerned about the CEO selling 3/4 of his shares, but if this company has growth ahead, this looks like a good buy in point.

"LOCM News" Local.com® Corporation Announces Stock Repurchase Program

http://www.pr-inside.com/local-com-corporation-announces-stock-r2043147.htm

© Business Wire 2010
2010-08-05 13:45:03 -

Local.com : Corporation (NASDAQ: LOCM), a leading local search site and network, today announced that its board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $2 million of its outstanding common stock.

“We believe that the recent speculation surrounding the company is without merit and fails to reflect our fundamental operational and financial performance over the past six quarters. This stock repurchase program demonstrates the board of directors’ confidence in the company's ability to execute its growth strategy. We are projecting compound annual revenue growth of nearly 60% for 2010, on the back of nearly 50% growth in 2009. We continue to execute well in this fast growing market and are making the strategic decisions we believe will allow us to solidify our position as a leader in this sector,” said Heath Clarke, Local.com chairman and chief executive officer.

“Last week we reported second quarter revenue and adjusted net income that met and exceeded our updated guidance from early June. Yesterday we reaffirmed our third quarter guidance of $23 to $23.5 million in revenue with adjusted net income of $3.5 to $3.6 million, or $0.20 to $0.21 per diluted share. It is important to note that our third quarter guidance includes a $0.02 per share cost as a result of our OCTANE360 acquisition and also includes the cost of significant investments we are making to secure the long-term future of our company.”

As of June 30, 2010, the company had $15 million in cash, and approximately 16.6 million shares of common stock outstanding. The share repurchase program authorizes Local.com to repurchase shares from time to time through the open market, or privately negotiated transactions.

The company may adopt a Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan which would allow the company to purchase its shares at times when it ordinarily would not be in the market because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of the purchases will be based on market conditions, share price and other factors. The stock repurchase program does not require the company to repurchase any specific dollar value or number of shares and may be modified, extended or terminated by the board of directors at any time.

Statement from Local.com® Corporation
Local.Com (MM) (NASDAQ:LOCM)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Wednesday 4 August 2010
Local.com Corporation (NASDAQ:LOCM), a leading local search site and network, today refuted the loose implications drawn by a recent article about the company published by TheStreetSweeper.org. The company considers the article to have been clearly drafted to advance the interests of certain special interest groups that have taken a position adverse to the long-term growth prospects of the company. To that end, the company is reiterating its Q3 and full year 2010 guidance. The company also reiterated its belief in the company’s long term growth based on its ongoing growth initiatives, including organic and acquisition based growth. In the opinion of management, this article misrepresents and distorts facts not relevant to the company's current financial position, long-term growth prospects and management policies.

The company, its directors, officers and its employees operate with the highest of ethical standards in promoting and striving to achieve long-term value for its shareholders. The article appears to be issued specifically to cause a decline in the company stock price to support the increase in the short interest in the company stock, and the company plans to report this matter to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Trading and Markets and Division of Enforcement. The company will take other appropriate action if needed to protect its reputation and that of its management team, board of directors, employees and partners.

The implications made are based on non-connected facts that do not correlate to the company's operations and appear primarily intent to cast a pall on the company’s achievements over the last 18 months and the value generated for its shareholders as a result. The company reiterates its previously reported Q3 and full year 2010 guidance.

The company will not provide further comment on this matter, but will aggressively pursue its rights with authorities.

I use two different chart service programs. One for exact trend line calculations that you guys don't see and the other for artistic demontstration. Sometimes I make mistakes when transfering the data.

Local.com Announces Record Search Traffic, Direct Sales Force Expansion
Wednesday June 4, 7:00 am ET


IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Local.com Corporation (NASDAQ:LOCM - News), a leading local search site and network, today announced record search and organic traffic for May 2008, as well as a significant sales force expansion.

The Local.com site and Local Connect™ network received a total of over 16 million monthly unique visitors (MUVs) in May, up from a record total of 15 million MUVs in January, the company’s seasonally strongest month. Organic traffic also reached an all-time high, exceeding 6 million MUVs, or over 38% of the company’s total traffic for the month. This represents an increase of approximately half a million MUVs over February’s record 5.7 million MUVs.

The company also announced that it has doubled its outsourced sales force, which now exceeds one hundred personnel. The expanded sales force is selling the company’s Local Promote™ subscription advertising product.

“Our two most important initiatives this year are to increase organic traffic and grow our direct advertiser base,” said Heath Clarke, Local.com chairman and CEO. “Both of these initiatives represent high margin revenue to Local.com, and are expected to return us to profitability. We are making solid progress in each area.”

Local Connect™ is one of the largest local search syndication networks, publishing business directories on over 570 regional media sites, including newspapers, TV and radio stations, and city portals. The company recently announced a strategic partnership with MediaSpan, a leading provider of digital content management and online marketing solutions that is expected to expand Local.com’s network to approximately 2,000 sites.

Organic traffic includes all non-search engine marketing (SEM) sourced traffic. All site traffic and usage statistics are from third-party service providers engaged by the company.
