Skout, they say will be accretive quickly. Plus they have been much more successful abroad in monetizing which is one area meet has performed poorly. Also meet has been more successful in selling ad space and generating revenue. Looks like a good combo plus less than 5% overlap in users so a huge collective boost toward greater scale.
They broke thru a price point hoping for more up to carry it over $5
With the volume of trade there will likely be several already accumulating but over $5 will open it to many more
I would like offer a good argument or counter point but can't think of any. Obviously it's his job. His pay check. Not his passion. Stock. Stock value. Stockholders are of no apparent concern.
Sad because I believe there's still potential but my hope grows dimmer over the MANY years I've been in this.
Long long long history of disappointments. And I've been in & "long" for most of it. They sit at the cutting edge of technology yet are unable to scale it or create a better reocurring revenue model.
They also do next to nothing to keep the public and their stockholders informed.
What was the tone at the last earnings report on the call? Oh, they don't bother and they barely provide the basic necessities in the their reporting.
At this point I am just hoping for a miracle and someone who knows how to run a solid public co. get a hold of this company!
The cloak or vail must come off every once in awhile. (Required reporting)
Any guesses on rev? Dare I mention profit and or growth?
Thud.... the sound of an unremarkable Q1 report.
And maybe that's being optimistic?
Am I missing the good?
Something starting with a $4.xxxM+ would be a positive - followed by something noteworthy in the business operational front. Increase in the bottom line.
Maybe a few stellar new clients and larger contracts with more revenue back logged and some kind of logical acquisition strategy. ???
I would call the top line decent but that was with the decline in eBay, I presume, since Walmart and eBay are not broken out from each other. If the eBay work was winding down I'd guess Walmart must be increasing spend.
Some of the other "catchall" numbers reported about moderation sounds impressive but its not clear what's being sold or how profitable it is for the company.
Hope Q1 shows rebound to solid revenue growth and more "contract wins" with significant contracts.
Just reading thru recent posts.
The audits are important for multiple reasons.
Yes, to verify they've been generally true to gaap (legit)
But more important its a step to meeting minimum requirements
to once again upgrade the "listing" and getting off the "penny stock" board.
Yes, hopefully grossly undervalued but that's based on unaudited financials.
Even if there are revisions downward resulting from the audit. That's acceptable if the
overall business is solid and growing.
My guess, 10+ yrs into this "hold"
They've added laungage over the past year+ hinting they will seek new capital. Audits are necessary for that so I expect that as well as a potential reverse followed by some "big boys" to start getting onboard.
Reverse, Dilution(cap raise) followed by acquitions or be acquired.
Just my theory.
They should report Q1 as well. Q2 is almost over.
We could get blown away in either direction but at $ 25 I'll accept the limited downside for the exponential upside.
Good luck to the longs!
Thx for the earnings "date"
Same sentiment. Hope ur rt
32% of the float are SHORTs.
Over 5M of the nearly 16M issued and outstanding.
That's a little intimidating.
If they get control of the top line there COULD be a momumental run - if the top line turns up.
Just my opinion
Q4 forecasts from any lvwd "experts".......
Will there be ZERO revenues from EBay this Q?.
I'm hoping/guessing 3.8M - $4.3M Q4
Backlog growing to over $4M
Co. makes reference to 1-3 "new" contrats.
Growing the staff, sales & support. Break even or small loss.
I'd be happy with continued top line growth
Congrats to the 1%'ers and over.
Good play if you're patient.
Next earnings date? Not on their site. Anyone know a likely date?
No.
WPP. They had warrants, which exercised at (this was years ago so this is my best guess from memory) something like $1-$3 over a period of a few years.
The stock never got up there and not a lot ever seemed to come from this once promising relationship. I thought in those years that maybe the co was intentionally under performing so as not to encourage WPP to exercise.
Or maybe I was just disappointed in the stock pricing :)
I'd love to know the details of that whole "relationship."
They have had the same PR- IR dude for awhile.("Houston") Which is why the change in the tone of PR and press is interesting.
Clearly someone else is either initiating the work - or giving the benefit of the doubt - maybe they've taken their thumb off his area to allow more of a positive, promotional tone.
I agree with an earlier posters WMT comments - that's essentially an endorsement that is as large as you can get and the ancillary PR spilling over from their own positive comments (by Walmart) should have the clients beating a path to the lvwd doors.
Maybe that's starting to become reality? The last PR, hints at as much!
Nice catch!
WPP had options/warrants on - can't remember - but I think about 3M shares of Liveworld at one point in time maybe 5-7 years ago.
At the time, that "relationship" looked poised to launch lvwd but it never seemed to bear fruit.
In fact, for quite some time I wondered, if the co was intentionally under-performing to depress valuation and prevent further action from WPP.
WPP is the type of co who might benefit most from the lvwd "platform." I think the human element is both what makes lvwd better, but also is an element that inhibits the scalability. Just my own sentiment/conjecture.
Continued hiring is a clearly "bullish" sign. Don't like the current chart but do like the steady volume. Light compared to most but vs a few years ago - much improved. Hoping this is a sign of an upcoming slingshot type of move.
The vastly improved press being released - also helps. A lot of small but incremental, positives piling up! Yes - I'm long and like the co! Have for a LONG time.
Any other forlorned, hidden beauties to follow?
Rough day in CALX world....
Growth is the Holy Grail.
Would love to see a lot "Holyness" in the their upcoming #'s.
EBay should be dropping off the rev side but hopefully it's more than offset by other current, plus new clients
Yes.
I'm the ultimate "hold" been holding for years. Watching the progress and lack of progress but over the past 2-3 years, they are on a good track but still need to find a way to go from a $8-$15M annual rev co to become a $50-$100M company in the foreseeable future.
I don't see that yet. But remain optimistic.
Says the TalkCity investor - for disclosure: most of my shares were acquired over the past 3-6 years
I think it has much to do with how easily their service suite can get "scalability".
Can it be easily replicated and duplicated elsewhere. I think that is the both the strength of the service they offer, but also why you cannot realize "rapid-fire" growth.
If Sears wanted the same services they also need the skilled EE's who know the product and deliver the value added. It's not just a matter of providing technology.
The company always mentions the human oversight.
Just my perspective - but have held and been rooting for the co since "TalkCity" days.
They need either more scale or a much higher premium for the service and technology provided. Some of both - a good compromise :)
Anyone have their own estimate since there is no guidance?
Rev and earnings.....
They've maintained a solid trend over the past couple years posting YoY and QoQ increases though the pace slowed in the past Q
Their "confidence" has me hoping this could mean essentially ebay is being replaced by a similar "large" client or perhaps several. I hate holding anything based on "hope". Hope I'm correct on their trends continuing -- "unaudited"
Still loooking to hire per the corp website. Lots of stories PR tweets etc. off their home page
$35, or $13.5?
I'm in for $35 but today is not a good start.
$500M buy back, hopefully they'll get in and support
Any financial info?
Post (EGAM) for the "new" co? TINO?
New Chairman from Mfg Hsg?
Is this a positive?
Approved - new co(s) emerge
A thus it begins again... a better future ahead?
More of the same?
Funny. All this BS
Seems like a lot of hyperbolic hype.
I just hope the co & the technology has some value to an actual operating co.
Best i can tell these guys don't exist......The phone that rings is to a corporate bull pen - sort of a central answering service.
No one to forward the calls to.......
That's a solid sign - right?
Where are the offices - how do you have this info?
So you're implying they are operating but outside the past PLPE model, and now as Bi-Lo, but they do not want to not divulge what they're doing .... as a public co?
I understand they're not a full reporting co but the explanation seems a stretch - but I hope you are correct.
I'm long - I have no problem with your scenario other than I don't see any evidence
Why would anyone make a significant play above the market price for a co which seemingly has disappeared.
Accumulate 25% of the 40M shares outstanding at .02 or less and you're in the driver's seat fo a whopping $200,000, or less.
But still no revenue - just the idea/concept which is not proven.
I own it and hope some of the dreams mentioned on the board come true - I'll be a happy camper
HA ... Old-timers! Or should that be "lol"
And they say long term investing is no longer "in vogue"!
Fortunately I was in and out at about $10 and lost a few cents.
But I liked the co and "held" 5 shares.
Over the years it dropped to almost oblivion but when i saw a flattening and some positives - then I started an accumulation and building a "real postion"
Today I not only want to see them succeed but hope to profit with what could be a 10x to a 50x bagger and new style of living :)
Well at least a warmer style of living (OH)
bbkingagain
You must be one of the 2-3 others who were watching and commenting periodically on the old Yahoo board over the past 10 years.
Yes the faith is finally becoming a reality!
More good times ahead - finally!
This was a $10 stock when I first got on as TalkCity....
Agree more likely to be acquired but finances, revenues etc audits would be be needed so I'm hoping they look at once again becoming a full reporting co.
I hope the last Q and the trading of the past couple days is an indication something like that is not - or no longer is - a pipe dream
Any thoughts of moving into an "acquisitive mode?"
If that was even possible - what would be a fit for lvwd to acquire or are they only an entity to be acquired?
I was in the ball park but actually light! Sweet!
More Rev & higher profit!
Great way to miss - as a forecast and even better way for the company to BEAT!
Can the momentum continue and when will the institutions jump into this?
Over $1
Over $5?
Any earnings guesses for next week?
Any estimates for Q4 and the '12 total earnings out of the Mar 13 announcement?
Is this co capable of netting $660k on say $4.0m in Q4?
Income pre tax the past 4Q's 363; 278; 411; 412.
660 on $4m = 16.5% net very good trend over the past 7-8Qs hope this is close.
