• Spark Networks: A Strong Investment in Online Dating

  By Chris Katje - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: IACI, DATE, LOV

  Seen any online dating commercials lately? Chances are they were for market leaders Match.com and eHarmony.com. While these two online dating sites offer a stream of revenue for their parent companies, they also get lost in portfolios of online properties. Spark Networks (NYSEMKT: LOV) is a pure play on the online dating business and offers investors several ways to play niches in that subscription market.

  By Reuben Brewer - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, IACI, NFLX, DIS

  Although the prospective sale of the Hulu video service is entertaining, the company hasn't been able to unseat Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). There's a good reason for that and both Netflix and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) understand it—do you?

  That latest gossip

• Fox, Traditional Television and the Losing Battle

  By Nate Wooley - April 9, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, IACI, NFLX, NWSA, NLSN

  Traditional television is circling the drain.

  That television – as represented by the long-dominant broadcast networks – is facing a crisis should be obvious. Last month Nielsen (NYSE: NLSN) introduced the 'Zero TV' household to its tracking systems. These are households which don't fit the traditional model of television watcher. Either they don't own a television at all or, like me, they have one, but only use it for Internet-connected more »

  The warning signs of a dividend cut should always be in the back of your mind. That said, Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) recently announced a massive dividend increase, a dedication to its policy of returning value to shareholders, and the near completion of its corporate transformation.

• Who Buys The Times?

  By Reuben Brewer - March 18, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, AOL, AAPL, GOOG, IACI, NYT, TWX, YELP

  The New York Times (NYSE: NYT) recently announced it would sell the Boston Globe and rename its foreign paper. This continues its push to streamline around The New York Times Brand. However, with little left to jettison, it might be time to ask when The Times gets sold and to whom.

• A Repeat of the 1987 Crash?

  By Reuben Brewer - February 21, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, IACI, IBM, JNJ, PBI, O

  It's understandable that investors might take anything that Marc Faber, editor of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, says with a grain of salt based on the pessimistic name of his newsletter. However, his call for either a correction now or an 1987 style crash later in the year comes on the backs of other notable investors warning of the market risks ahead. What's an investor to do?

• Serial Acquirers Can Be Good Investments

  By Reuben Brewer - February 7, 2013 | Tickers: AMGN, GOOG, IACI, JNJ, KMP

  Tech Crunch recently noted that 2,277 private technology companies were acquired in 2012 for almost $50 billion dollars. Those are big numbers. What's more interesting, however, is who is doing the buying. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Facebook (FB) were highlighted as the most active buyers, which goes to show that innovative companies often bring in ideas and talent from the outside.

  By Meena Krishnamsetty - January 20, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, IACI, KKR, MEOH, SI

  Dividend stocks are often associated with companies that have stable growth. However, some dividend-paying companies grow their earnings at robust rates of growth. While Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been considered an archetype of a growth stock, there are several dividend companies with long-term annualized EPS growth estimates higher than Apple’s.

  InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ: IACI) is a worldwide leader in the online dating world, primarily through its Match brand, but it has been hard pressed to find a similar amount of love from Wall Street.  The company’s stock price has been flat over the past twelve months, with steep declines since October when management revealed FY2013 financial guidance that was below expectations.  Investors also seem to be concerned about rising competition more »
