SeekingAlpha & the Billion-Footed Blog Beast I spoke on the phone earlier today with David Jackson of SeekingAlpha, and he gave me a heads-up about tonight's news with respect to having landed venture funding from Benchmark. We also talked about the bigger business news at SeekingAlpha, which is his new deal to syndicate SeekingAlpha network commentary to Yahoo Finance.David humbly, ahem, calls the latter news "game-changing". Is it? Well, it does represent a further step in the democratization of financial media and equity analysis -- call it the attack of the billion-footed blog beast. SeekingAlpha is the hub of an ad hoc federation of financial blogs, one that pulls content from a host of sites, including this one. But bloggers still own their commentary, and more importantly, it is now syndicated to a high-traffic financial portal, Yahoo Finance, with blog source linkage intact. It is, in a sense, free advertising (i.e., traffic) for bloggers.Some will carp that we're giving megaphones to nutters at virtual street corners, which is true at the margin. But far more important is that David is giving a big platform to people who richly deserve more exposure. Yes, it won't be easy to make this work, and the opportunities for self-interested behaviors are legion, but the direction is one to watch. Congrats to David for pulling this off. Blogging on Wall Street While there may be an Internet bubble in Silicon Valley, there's an online boomlet on Wall Street.  Lots of people have created businesses talking about stocks. Elizabeth Spiers' DealBreaker is among the most substantial, happily trading info about traders' perks, bonuses, hirings, and firings.  Among the reasons to visit is the site's extensive listing of other Wall Street blogs. UndertheCounter.net works the same side of The Street as DealBreaker, reporting, "Who's getting paid, laid, hired and fired." WallStrip.com continues to impress with original ideas and video daily.  Founder Howard Lindzon seems, however, to be pouting.

Click here for an Alexa traffic chart for the three stock sites.Other stock blogs updated daily: 24/7 Wall Street Seeking Alpha Tech Trader Daily BloggingStocks.com My Nortel Experiment In late-December 2005, I decided to conduct an experiment by launching a blog called All Nortel, All the Time that just about Nortel Networks. Why? Well, I had one of those Wordpress.com &#8220;golden tickets&#8217; that I wanted to use; there were no other blogs dedicated to Nortel (surprise surprise!), and I wanted to see how much traffic I could attract by writing a blog that wasn&#8217;t bolstered by my profile as a business reporter with the National Post. Over the past 14 months, I&#8217;ve written 433 posts on Nortel and generated 282,000 pageviews, which works out to about 30 posts a month and 23,000 pageviews. Not terribly successful in terms of traffic but not bad given I&#8217;m writing about one company with a stock price that, until recently, has been nothing to write home about. In the past month, however, things are looking up. All Nortel, All the Time was picked up by Seeking Alpha, which focuses on investment opportunities, and traffic hit a record high today at 2,760 pageviews (it didn&#8217;t hurt that the CFO quit yesterday, and the company announced 2,900 jobs cuts today). I&#8217;d like to think All Nortel, All the Time&#8217;s quasi-success has to do with being focused, enthusiastic and committed. It&#8217;s not always easy material to write because sometimes there&#8217;s really nothing terribly interesting to say but if you work it hard enough, there are always nuggets to be found. Perhaps the most rewarding part is the traffic and comments I get from Nortel employees, and the fact that after all this time, I&#8217;m still the only Nortel blog in town. Make of that what you will! Read the WSJ... lose money You want to lose on more than half of your trades in the stock market, read the Wall Street Journal.  The print editions of many newspapers have been hit hard by the Internet, as many people can now just surf the on line site for free news updated daily.  The Wall Street Journal is different.  It is read by all business professionals.  Even though you see very few people carrying around newspapers anymore, the Journal seems to be under every arm of every train rider in the morning before work and at night after work.  The WSJ definitely provides some of the best business news (at an affordable price) and has been around forever, but I feel sorry for those who try to invest based on the news they read in those pages.  If you're going to get rich investing, it won't be making trades the day an article appears in the Journal.  I have heard countless people talking at the train station, office, and even at the gym about a hot article in the WSJ that day and that the stock is going to be hot.  Yeah.. of course the stock is going to be hot, every business man, woman, and their mothers read that same article.  The problem is, the stocks or sectors recommended are sometimes already up 5-10% before articles are published as traders or publishers leak news to their buddies  who run up the prices.  Then, when a investor like you or me tries to get in we're faced with a strong pre-market on the day of the article which most likely ends up in a loss by the end of the day as the day-traders sell out.  I laugh at those who trade based solely on analyst recommendations and articles in magazines or the WSJ especially.  Everyone either knows before or at the same time (as you or me) about any news published and its already initially too late.  Look at Cramer.. he's another story.. maybe tomorrow. That being said:  I'm no perfect investor myself and many of the stocks I have hit big, I have sold long before they have made me any money.  Back a few years ago: picked up Finisar (FNSR) for about 2.50 a share, got nervous about bankrupcy and took a 40% hit  and sold around 1.40... shoulda gone with the gut and held because it pushed over $5 this year.. Mercury Interactive (MERQ), Bought at 38... stock option problems brought it down to $29 and that Ameritrade triggered me out at that price.  Lost some good money on that one, then they got a bid for about $50 a share as a buyout price.  I have hit a couple winners too like quick doubles on Sprint and Quality Systems.  It is all about timing.  I'm definitely a fan of www.seekingalpha.com.  They have some great market commentary.  Check it out. Energy makes me nervous right now... gasoline is low!! National average is $2.42 and under $2 in places like New Jersey however I still am not believing it will stay for long.  NG is low also with the inventory reports coming out in the next few days.    Oil's hovering $60 a barrel.  Who knows where it is going.  I did get a little lucky yesterday, getting approved (at work) and money finally in my account and was up about 44% on some oct call options in a coal company.  Up again today, we'll see what happens. Risky, but i'm young... I have plenty of time to work on the IRA after a year or two.    Benchmark invests in Seeking Alpha; deal struck with Yahoo Silicon Valley venture firm Benchmark Capital has invested in a finance blog company called Seeking Alpha, a surprising move in our view, given that blogs are difficult to monetize. Venture firms want to invest in companies going for billion-dollar markets, and Seeking Alpha is a two-year old boot-strapped company that is losing money, the company&#8217;s chief executive David Jackson confirmed with us earlier today. Blogs have become mainstream, too, so what do you think Benchmark sees in this company? Well, it apparently sees a very focused chief executive, who wants to aggregate all of the finance information being supplied by hundreds, perhaps thousands, and maybe even millions of investors with a view about stocks, and ordering their analysis by ticker symbol and other methods. It is supplying the transcripts of quarterly corporate earnings calls, annotated data from WSJ pages and other info. Underscoring Seeking Alpha&#8217;s ambition is a deal the company announced today with Yahoo Finance, whereby Seeking Alpha&#8217;s content is added to the stock quote pages of Yahoo Finance, alongside other mainstream content, which includes sources like Street.com and Dow Jones. CEO Jackson said Seeking Alpha aggregates content from 200 contributors, who have signed a basic agreement with Seeking Alpha to provide the content. The contributors have an incentive to providing the data, Jackson explains, to get exposure for their newsletters or consulting services, and so they are doing it for free. One guy won a $10 million account from a client who saw his analysis on Seeking Alpha, says Jackson (though we did not independently attempt to confirm this). Seeking Alpha vets the material, and asks the contributors to disclose any conflicts of interest they may have, such as short or long positions in stocks. He has hired human editors to do this. Seeking Alpha needs the capital to build up its web team, and to help customize the stock analysis in sophisticated ways, so that it reads nicely on Blackberry devices, for example, Jackson said. By putting the bloggers on a par with Dow Jones, Street.com and other mainstream sources, Jackson thinks Seeking Alpha will encourage even more bloggers to participate. Seeking Alpha&#8217;s aggregated content may soon dwarf the content produced by mainstream sites, the thinking goes. So now you are getting the full image &#8212; the image of that revolutionary, proverbial long tail. &#8220;We&#8217;re tapping into the long tail,&#8221; Says Jackson referring, to the long line of contributors with a good opinion about stocks he thinks will transform analyst coverage of mid- and small-cap companies that newspapers and other sources don&#8217;t have the resources to cover. This is just the latest start-up using Web 2.0 techniques to attempt a break into the big time. Another includes SocialPicks, which we saw a demo of several weeks ago. SocialPicks, based in Silicon Valley, is trying to create a Web site to do something similar to Seeking Alpha, but is in early days, and has yet to figure out how to mobilize contributors. There is also New York based Monitor10, which just raised $5 million in funding from DFJ, which is using blogs to give investors a new edge on information. Jackson did not disclose how much Seeking Alpha has raised. Jackson worked for five years as a technology research analyst for Morgan Stanley in New York covering the communications equipment sector, and left in 2003. Tech Crunch: Seeking Alpha nails Benchmark Funding, Yahoo Deal New York based Seeking Alpha, a financial news site that takes content submissions from over 200 contributors to cover over 4,000 publicly traded companies, had a very good day today. They are announcing a deal with Yahoo to include Seeking Alpha content in Yahoo Finance, as well as a round of financing from Benchmark Capital. The Yahoo deal is very similar to a Yahoo/Gawker deal announced in November 2005, and which was terminated recently. Company-specific content from Seeking Alpha will be included on Yahoo Finance, with links back to Seeking Alpha. No money is changing hands either way. The size of the Benchmark funding is not being disclosed. Michael Eisenberg, a general partner with Benchmark Capital Israel, is joining the board.

Answer: Pretty well, actually. Not amazing, not terrible. Pretty well. eBay doesn't release much Skype information, but we can still get a good snapshot: ·  After decelerating through Q2 last year, both revenue and user-growth are now reaccelerating. ·  If the current growth trajectory remains stable, the company should do $400-$500 million in revenue in 2007 (which would put the purchase price below 10X revenue--a far cry from the outrageous binge-buy that many commentators described). ·  Monthly revenue per user is gradually increasing and now stands at about $0.13.

When we launched this blog last month, we said it wouldn&#8217;t center on product news. A healthy supply of press releases and product blogs already do that quite well.

Seeking Alpha publishes conference call transcripts Seeking Alpha is a network of stock market and financial blogs. It offers not only investment commentary and analysis but also publishes transcripts of conference calls between company officials and stock-market analysts. If you really want to understand the media business, you should read some of these transcripts, such as the most recent one for Gannett. One of the network’s blogs is devoted to media stocks. It offers lots of interesting information, such as this graphic showing quarterly gross profit margins for media companies. Seeking Alpha’s Press Release About Conference Call Transcripts Internet Start-up Levels the Playing Field for Investors Jan. 18, 2006 – Seeking Alpha, the leading network of stock market and personal finance weblogs, announced today that it will offer free earnings conference call transcripts for nearly 400 leading public companies scheduled to report in the coming days and weeks. Until now, investors had to pay thousands of dollars in annual subscription fees for conference call transcripts. Those able to afford transcripts had superior access to investment information, as financial content is more easily digested from text than from audio and listening to calls is often excessively time consuming. Few companies post transcripts on their public web sites in a timely manner. &#8220;Public companies comply with SEC regulations by making their earnings calls freely accessible, but who has the time or desire to listen to tens of one-hour conference calls each earnings season?”, Seeking Alpha Founder David Jackson explains. “Access to conference calls in text format allows investors to skim the less important information and hone-in on the key material in minutes, before the market opens the next morning, just as professional investors do.&#8221; &#8220;Make no mistake: timely access to transcripts of conference calls in practice means access to the calls themselves. By offering conference call transcripts for free, SeekingAlpha.com is dismantling the last bastion of privileged investment information. This is great news for individual investors, financial advisors, VCs, journalists and anyone else who wants to know what companies are saying about their businesses&#8221; says Jackson, a former technology equities research analyst. “Quarterly conference calls are probably the best way of knowing what companies really think”, says Gary Dorsch, who edits investment newsletter Global Money Trends. “In providing free access to transcripts, SeekingAlpha.com has leveled the playing-field between hedge funds and guys like me.” “I want to know what companies in my portfolio are saying”, says individual investor Judy Marbach. “Now I have access to that information in a usable form.” “Reviewing conference call transcripts is a fundamental part of our stock research”, says hedge fund manager Spencer Waxman. “Seeking Alpha is now making them available to all investors.” Seeking Alpha will strive to post transcripts at http://seekingalpha.com within six hours of the end of each conference call. The earnings calendar and list of calls to be transcribed for the upcoming earnings season can be viewed at http://seekingalpha.com/earnings and can also be found below. This roster includes many of the most-followed companies, such as Apple, Intel and Google, as well as lesser-known companies such as Goldcorp and Netease. The most recent transcripts are viewable at http://seekingalpha.com/transcripts. # # # SeekingAlpha.com is a new approach to providing financial news and analysis to investors that leverages the phenomenal growth of blogs. The Seeking Alpha Network consists of 22 stock market and finance websites defined by sector and country. Seeking Alpha editors select content from more than 60 contributors (the majority of whom are finance professionals) and edit, ticker-ize and publish the content on the appropriate sector web site. This results in more thorough and timely coverage of stocks and sectors than has previously been available on websites . Among the most popular Seeking Alpha sector sites are The Internet Stock Blog, The China Stock Blog, The Consumer Electronics Stock Blog, The Media Stock Blog and ETF Investor. SeekingAlpha.com is the hub for the network and displays headlines from all 22 sites as well as reviews of other stock market blogs and other resources.

He likens the rise of blogs to the introduction of phototypesetting, which undermined the unions and eliminated thousands of linotype operator jobs. He argues, rightly I think, that traditional news organizations need to differentiate their news reporting or fall prey to the onslaught of the army of bloggers. So that&#8217;s two pundits in one weekend (three if you include me) who are predicting the decline and fall of today&#8217;s news business. I&#8217;d summarize the situation this way. News is changing because the economics are changing in three important ways: media creation, production, and distribution are getting cheaper, advertising is becoming more networked and more measurable, but audience attention is getting scarcer and more expensive. So what does that really mean? It means it is getting easier to create news and a news business, but it is harder to make it profitable. Don&#8217;t think this trend implies the decline and fall of professional reporting, analysis, editing, illustration, or production of news. On the contrary. If anything, these functions will become more important as consumers look to new media for news. But in my opinion, many of these functions will become disaggregated &#8212; they will become branded activities that businesses will pull together to create the equivalent of today&#8217;s newspaper. Think of traditional newspaper activities as being a collection of tracks on a music album; future news companies will buy and sell these activities by the track as well as by the album. You can see a sample of this mashup of branded functions today already at destinations like Newsvine.com (invitation required), where the professional reporting and photographs come from the Associated Press, but the analysis and commentary comes from independents members of the community like me. Editing is minimal &#8212; the only form of editing widely done is by voting articles up and down. Production and branding is done by Newsvine, but they sell advertising to pay the sources and for the Internet distribution. All those functions that used to be under one newspaper masthead are still there, but some have become outsourced to other companies or given to the community to do for free. Newsvine is changing the cost structure of news. But sadly, that&#8217;s the easy part. The real business problem is on the audience side. We face a terrible challenge in today&#8217;s Attention Economy: media overload is making attention scarcer and more expensive. You pay as much for a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal today as you did last year, but fewer people will pay attention to it. Why? Because some of the Wall Street Journal readers now read sites like SeekingAlpha.com. More of them buy the paper and then spend their trainride answering their Blackberry messages or joining a conference call. Some of the Journal&#8217;s print subscribers only read on-line and therefore see a different set of ads. The cost of reaching today&#8217;s fragmented and divided-attention audiences are going up faster than production costs are going down. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s killing the broad news business &#8212; and for that matter, many of today&#8217;s media businesses from magazines to the TV networks. This is what we here at Blackfriars call the tyranny of too much. We are overwhelmed with media, messages, ads, news, TV shows, and iPod tracks. We are all becoming too hard to reach. Our problem is not that we can&#8217;t find the news. It&#8217;s that the news we want can&#8217;t find us. And unless it does, no one will pay for it. There&#8217;s a name for the process of finding audiences that want products and influencing them to consume them. It&#8217;s called marketing. Media companies spend about 10% of their revenues on marketing on average, compared with 9% for all business. But do you think those newspapers that we started this column talking about are spending 10% of their revenue on marketing? How about the Internet news companies just hitting the street? In both cases, I&#8217;ll bet they are vastly underspending the average. The news business is being reinvented. Creation and production is getting cheaper, but reaching audiences is getting more expensive &#8211;vastly more expensive. Want to figure out who will be the survivors? Look at their marketing budgets. Spending on marketing willl predict the winners and losers in the attention economy. Seeking Alpha launches personalized subscription service... While I'm an investor by trade, I don't consider myself an investment-focused blogger; I'm much more focused on technology trends and analysis. Sometimes, inevitably, the implications of a given stock come into play simply because that's the lens I often see things through, but that's beside the point. As you might expect, there are a ton of great investment-focused blogs (where the writers are actively giving you trading advice); and I read a many of them. Inarguably, the 800-pound gorilla of the investment-focused blog world is Seeking Alpha. Founded a few years ago by former Morgan Stanley analyst David Jackson, it's now grown into a massive consortium of investor-focused blogs; ranging from ETFs to Utilities to China to Semiconductors and everything in between. They have dozens of contributors (many are active investors and traders) and push out a TON of content daily. Like many of you, I subscribe to Seeking Alpha via my feed reader, and frankly, it can be overkill. The SA guys have always made it easy to subscribe to specific blogs on their network, but today they've added a new layer which is sure to appeal to the majority of investors who aren't yet comfortable with blogging and feed readers...Seeking Alpha introduces personalized email subscription service: Today we’re launching a free email subscription service that allows you to get full articles from Seeking Alpha emailed to your Blackberry or desktop email. You can subscribe to new articles by sector, by theme or by stock ticker, and update your choices or unsubscribe at any time. We won’t sell your email address to anyone and we don’t spam, and there’s an easy unsubscribe link in every email.The coolest feature is the ability to monitor specific stocks (via ticker symbol); which I can see being immeasurably helpful and a real time saver versus the current process of reading through the 50-100 SA posts that come into my reader each day. And it looks like Jackson and his conglomerate aren't done yet:For readers who prefer RSS to email, we’re working on a personalized RSS feed that allows you to define exactly what you want to get via a single RSS feed.Keep up the good work guys, and thanks! seeking alpha david jackson investing blogs subscription woodrow rss email subscription Earnings: THQ Profit Rises; Expects Wireless Growth Of 45 Percent ...
