MFI Stock Review: United Online (UNTD)

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:16:31 GMT

United Online (UNTD) is a sort of "mini-conglomerate" with three lines of business. The first, FTD, markets floral and gift products over the internet (www.ftd.com) and through a toll-free telephone number (1-800-SEND-FTD), and these orders are then fulfilled by one of the company's large network of local florists. While FTD is a U.S. concern, the subsidiary also has a similar business in the U.K. and Ireland known as Interflora. FTD provided 57% of United Online's revenue in the most recent quarter and was only acquired by the company a year ago.[More...]

Selloff On Low Volume Keeps The Bears In The Drivers Seat

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 06:06:00 GMT

Today was another day of a low volume session where the markets open up higher and subsequently selloff all day long. By the end of the day everything was closing near the lows on low volume. The only good news to the session came at the end when a slight bounce helped take the indexes off the lows. This market might be taxing to a lot of people right now but I have to remind everyone that you can not give up in this market. If you give up in this market environment you can be sure that when the right moment comes and the market turns you will not be there to reap the rewards that the market gives. Just think back to 2000-2002. I remember after 9/11 when everyone was for sure that rally was the start of a new bull. Heck even I thought it might be. But as the rally went on there were not more and more “hot” stock charts setting up and breaking out. That was the warning that the rally might fail. However, so many people were for sure that[More...]

Good morning. Premarket futures are indicating a mixed start following some M&A activity (see ROH, CTLM, & XLTC) and better than expected jobless claims (although continuing claims rose). Retail sales, like from Wal-Mart(WMT), also were coming in a little above expectations. Financials are under pressure as concerns remain in place for Fannie and Freddie among many others.

Could Two Small Caps Still "Dial up" Big Profits?

Mon, 19 May 2008 21:44:27 GMT

For every industry on the planet, the business cycle is inevitable – start-up, growth/expansion, maturity and decline. Each part of the cycle is characterized by the different levels of economic prosperity and competition of the industry participants.Some industries go through very long and drawn out cycles – the “maturity” stage could last decades and never show signs of a significant decline (as we’ve seen in the automotive sector). Others flare up and burn out quickly…one such industry is the Internet Service Providers sector. More specifically, the dial-up internet access companies.Once upon a time these guys ruled the online world…well, at least one of them did. In the late nineties America Online was the “king of the hill” and got so big that they acquired one of the most well known media companies in the world, Time Warner. We all know how that story ended.Fast forward to today and[More...]
