stock to short. I am laughing all the way to the
bank. This woman runned business is proof that women do
not know what they are doing!!! Word of advise, all
women companies are excellent shorting opportunities!!!
Generally, when more companies come public in a
segment, people initially say, "there's plenty of market
for everyone."
What happens though, is that
investors sell one and pick the other. From a stock
perspective, the price premium exclusivity enjoyed by the
incumbent is shaken somewhat. If someone wanted to
participate in the internet/women market, they had to go to
iVIL. Soon there will be choices and that portion of
iVIL's price premium will shrink.
Inevitably as
well, there is choice amongst the customers of the
emag, so the market share enjoyed by the first mover is
also shaken. Ad spending $$ will have to be split to
see which emag sells/reaches best.
Basically
what I'm saying is that there is competition for
investor $ in the capital markets and competition in the
business. The second player is now flush with cash from the
IPO and spends it to try and ruin the incumbant's
business, and to justify the heavenly stock price. They
work hard.
Finally, if it's seen that it's easy
to get rich doing a woman's emag, then there will be
lots more of them, and then you'll have a supermarket
check out lane.
Soon the party is over, and
that's what iVIL faces. Can't stop it.
end. I was wondering if all of you stupid women could invest all of you money into this site so that you can get back to the kitchen asap, the food needs improvement.
Thanks for the respons to the question about the
date of the IPO iconhater.
Well, the reason I
was asking about the date of the Women.com IPO is the
obvious sympathy play here. Should Women.com fly, I would
expect a little spill over onto IVIL. What do all of
you, the IVIL masses, think (shorts and longs)? Also,
how about OMDA? Is there enough recognition of there
position in this "industry" to warrant a jump as
well.
Just interested in other's opinions. Though I realize
there are a number of fundamental issues at play here,
all I care about is psychology (the psychology of
IPOs and sympathy plays) and making some cash on a
short term play!
Thanks all - One with the fever
Women.com IPO will be either the week of 7/26 or
8/2 as far as I know. I don't know what the status of
their roadshow is so it's hard to know exactly. With
Morgan Stanley leading the way it should be quite
successful. WOMN has more content than IVIL will ever have
and is run by top notch people. I hope IVIL does well
but I just don't see a comparison. The fact that
Hearst blew them off and joined forces with Women.com
should tell you something. IVIL's biggest mistake was
not making that happen.
Anyone know when it is. I saw the 23rd somewhere, but I can't find any other info.
Thanks in advance
OMDA will beat IVIL to the crapper.
I'm buying OMDA. After comparing the two stocks
O'Media is run by an extremely successful woman and is
staffed by other succeful people. The home page
She'sgotittogether.com and profits magazine are better than IVIL's
Did you see her on CNBC?She sounds smart,,but thoser glasses gotta go. YOUR INSIDE U *%#%.Sorry serious IVIL stockholders,i had to do it. CYA,
"synergy," a concept that always looks good on
paper, but never quite works out in reality. IVIL would
be better off SELLING those "links" to competing
companies bidding against each other for them, rather than
just giving them away to its own internal divisions.
The problem is, the supply of banner-ad links is
growing faster than the demand for them.
I'm not
demeaning your well-thought-out post; I'm just pointing out
that in the real world, "synergy" never seems to work
as well as the shareholders are promised it will,
probably because a captive division of a company tends to
be much lazier about profit generation than a
hungrier, stand-alone company would be.
I honestly
don't think IVIL will ever make anywhere NEAR enough
money to justify anywhere NEAR its $1.2 billion market
cap, and I freely admit to having a short position in
this stock.
Just discovered OMDA the women's internet channel
Sell @ 1 1/8
They state they are going to be nasd
listed, have backer, great websites and maybe doing an
IPO spinoff IMO This is a winner..
It could easily
be worth 30.00 a share in spinoffs and stock price
