]]> Comment on Where are the Web 2.0 IPO’s? by Grudun http://blog.tickerhound.com/2008/06/09/where-are-the-web-20-ipos/#comment-772 Grudun Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:08:51 +0000 http://blog.tickerhound.com/2008/06/09/where-are-the-web-20-ipos/#comment-772 The other problem with Web 2.0 is generating the money. No one doubts the huge number of eyeballs it generates but the problem is it generates traffic with low comercial value. If someone is searching for something they have a high likelyhood to buy something. But when someone is just going online to get in touch with other people they are not likely to buy a product. This is changing the orientation of the ad service and requires a different methodology of ad service which will take time to develop(will end up closer to TV ads that are trying to generate awareness rather than immediate purchases). But until it is developed the revenue generated by these sites is far below what their traffic is expected to generate on Web 1.0 sites. The other problem with Web 2.0 is generating the money.

]]> Comment on Could This be the Best Pink Sheet Play Ever? by Lobo http://blog.tickerhound.com/2008/06/04/could-this-be-the-best-pink-sheet-play-ever/#comment-742 Lobo Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:23:51 +0000 http://blog.tickerhound.com/2008/06/04/could-this-be-the-best-pink-sheet-play-ever/#comment-742 To quote, "...tiny companies, more often bad than good...." That captures my usual thought. Now I have become so impressed with International Isotopes (INIS), around $0.80, that I did my due deligence, hopefully, and decided to buy a bit of the stock. That's my ethical disclosure! Etrade has a collection of various descriptive reports of interest concerning INIS--as perhaps most of the brokers do. The company also has a website with a broader description of its business segments. In my concise summary, INIS appears to be the only company doing some of the things that should be or soon will be "hot button needs" for industry with nuke waste problems, with patents on new processes with which to do it. They appear to already have contracts with major companies to perform "green" refinements to nuclear waste. (No, not referring to 'glowing in the dark'--but environmentally speaking.) My attention was directed to this stock by a fellow who is friends with the 2nd cousin of the brother-in-law of an x-girlfriend who is having an affair with...no, no, I joke. It does illustrate the need to learn all you can about any of these penny stocks. Is it the best pink sheet stock ever? I have no idea, but...surely second or third can't be too bad. To quote, “…tiny companies, more often bad than good….” That captures my usual thought.

Why would we want to spend the time to download to, and then feel we should carry around, all sorts of pocket gadgets? We just bought a new pickup (no, we aren't going to drive a roller skate, either), and love the XM system. I have 23 stations programmed in so far, and love the variety available. The rate for a 3-year contract is reasonable, and I can also listen on my laptop. I enjoy silence at times too, and do not have the need (or desire) to be bombarded with music or news 24/7. I don't need to wear earbuds (or Bluetooth gadgets) to validate my self-worth or importance. My generation (remember, WE are the ones running corporations and doing most of the hiring and firing) doesn't need to flash the newest gadgets to flaunt our status. Use them? Yes, many of us, but in addition to traditional methods, not instead of them. Can't live without an iPod? Get a life!!
