TIVO And Google Are Watching Your Remote

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:03:15 GMT

Google (GOOG) is in the information business and they have moved that business forward today in a deal with TiVo (TIVO) to analyze the way people are watching and not watching television. The goal of the pact will be to show advertisers more accurate information on how many are actually watching television live or have pre-recorded and are skipping through the commercials.

Tough Choppy Grinding Session Ends Mixed

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:12:54 GMT

The markets on Tuesday experienced a tough grind. They chopped lower in the morning, went to new pullback lows and then reversed around the 11 o’clock hour.

How To Tell When A Penny Stock Will Pop

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:33:32 GMT

When you are about to invest in a penny stock, the number one question you need to ask yourself is: What’s the catalyst? Without some big event or monolithic development coming down the road, there’s no reason for investors to care about these tiny companies. You see, the majority of investors are only interested in making 5%–10% per year. That’s pretty much the maximum you can expect to gain if you are investing in blue chips. Here at Penny Sleuth, we view the stock market a little differently. We want the money multipliers — double-, triple-, even quadruple-digit gains. For that to happen, we need some kind of spark to set our penny stocks apart from the rest. After all, there are currently over 6,000 to choose from. So, what kind of catalysts can make a penny stock pop? Let’s look at a couple big[More...]

Will Google Buy Twitter ?

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 21:09:00 GMT

Perhaps no American company is more of-the-moment than Twitter, the real-time messaging start-up that allows people to publish their current doings, readings, and ruminations, or ask questions of their Twitter community and get fast answers. Jon Stewart mocked Twitter on "The Daily Show" last week, showing a congressman Twittering away on his phone during a recent speech by President Obama. Google's chief executive made dismissive comments about Twitter, while BusinessWeek speculated that Google might buy the company for several hundred million dollars. And Facebook, which tried last year to buy Twitter for a reported $500 million, is rolling out a redesign of its website this week, in part to try to duplicate popular Twitter features. And yet, despite the San Francisco company's growing reputation among the digerati as the next potential Google, YouTube, or Facebook, few American companies are less of-the-moment than Twitter: It is able to raise new[More...]
