Tech Trauma Should Ease in 2010 As Demand Climbs
Andrew Leckey
Tech trauma is a modern investor ailment. While the patient is aware that technology stocks are symbolic of the near- and long-term promise of the economy, their erratic movement can spike blood pressure beyond normal limits. The prescription for 2010 therefore requires tech stocks compatible with needs of a recovering business world
Google Remains Powerful Brand
Andrew Leckey
Google continues to innovate and invest in new businesses as it battles strong competitors. Its powerful brand name and top-notch technical staff help keep it ahead of the curve. Having loads of cash doesn't hurt either.

The National Broadband Plan
I went down to Washington, DC yesterday to participate in an event that celebrated the 25th anniversary of .com. I spoke on a panel (yes a hated panel) moderated by Kara Swisher and including Aneesh Chopra, CTO of the Federal Government, Arianna Huffington, and Ken Silva, CTO of Verisign (VRSN). Kara started out the discussion by holding up a binder that included the FCC's National Broadband Plan that was submitted to Congress this week. She had a lot of fun with the fact that our nation's broadband plan was being distributed to Congress and the media in paper form in a binder.

Understanding the China-Google Conundrum
The ramifications of Google's (GOOG) decision to leave China are deep: China's leadership, be careful what you wish for. I have been a student of China for 40 years. Alas, no, I did not learn Mandarin. When I started reading about China in 1969, and taking university courses on its culture and history in 1972, the Cultural Revolution was in full swing. The People's Republic was locked down; other than a trickle of black-market trading with Hong Kong, nobody was allowed in or out. No young person today, Chinese or American, can even imagine conditions in that distant, bleak time. In essence, China's leadership sacrificed two generations in the Cultural Revolution. It imprisoned, tortured, killed, banished, placed under house arrest, etc., the most experienced leaders of its society below the secretive high reaches of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and Mao's inner circle.

When Will Digital Media Grow Up?
The public market is for grown-ups, for companies that can support themselves. Directly or indirectly, all growing companies arrive at the public market. It’s an initiation, and what takes place on arrival is critical. The steps to that point follow a sequence more or less like this one: An entrepreneur develops a new business platform… The entrepreneur requires capital for his idea to evolve… Venture capital investors consider financing the opportunity… A venture capital syndicate funds the project… The business plan is implemented, corrected, executed, modified, grown, and etc… The venture capitalists want their money out and seek to “exit,” pursuing M&A and IPO options… The M&A market looks to the IPO market to benchmark a valuation, qualify interest, and determine the seller’s true alternatives… The public market responds. If this market is receptive and constitutes a viable exit option for the venture group, then we can reverse the sequence, starting with good public market response… to an upright M&A market… to venture funds that realize successful exits (using either option)… to venture funds that have the resources and courage to make new investments… to entrepreneurs who can efficiently raise capital for their ideas… to innovation and business building as a lucrative pastime for entrepreneurs. If, however, the IPO market fails us, then revisit the same order one by one for a less desirable set of circumstances. A lot depends on the public markets, and all involved are watching closely.

Earthlink Model Update - Still Awaiting Better Entry Point
I received several comments and emails on my Earthlink (ELNK) analysis that questioned whether I was being too harsh on the assumed run-off rate. Basically, the point was that I was using a constant percentage reduction while in reality the rate of decline is decreasing as the base subscriber base is increasingly comprised of the "die-hards". It's a valid argument, so I decided to use the detailed information given by the company in its investor presentation concerning the metrics of its consumer business (tenure, churn, etc.). Unfortunately, the results don't really improve the picture materially from the simple assumption of a constant decline that I used previously. Model update The tenure and churn data I've based my analysis on can be found in Earthlink's IR materials here. I assumed that organic adds are pro rata across the existing business lines and continue to trail off at the current rate, as shown in the following table:

Finder's Economy: The Next Big Thing Online
While a vast majority of the media seems preoccupied with what the Next Big Thing will be online, there is scarcely any coverage of a monster future trend which will sweep across nearly all interesting online sites. And it represents a multi-billion dollar market, which will transform and touch not only the way that people utilize online services, but also online search.
Kevin Lawton submits:
Before diving in, a quick look at the macro economics picture will set the stage for what I call the upcoming "Finder's Economy". If you at all believe that our planet's exponentially growing human population (~7 billion) is running into carrying capacity and resource constraint issues, then it follows that we will consume incrementally less per-person, over time. And stuff will become more expensive. So how do we transform a world of billions from a consumption to a services economy? This is the environment which will yield the "Finder's Economy".

Time for Google to Show Some Backbone
Much has been made of the fatuous notion that the Chinese government is hesitant to kick Google (GOOG) out of the country. Nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed, the notion that the Chinese absolutely need American search technology is an ethnocentric bias which says more about our own arrogance than it does about Chinese motivations. The number one thing to understand about the Chinese is that they look out for their own. Indeed, as has often been said, there is nothing free about free trade. They sell us T-shirts and pirate our software. When they cannot pirate something, such as Visa (V) or Mastercard (MA) services, they seek to set up their own domestic monopolies, such as China UnionPay.

DragonWave Moves to Support Its Stock Price
It appears that DragonWave (DRWI) is fighting back against whatever forces were causing the free fall in its stock. The company announced a normal course issuer bid of "up to 10%" of the float this morning. It is always hard to know if companies will follow through on such promises, because we often see announcements like this of potential stock buybacks (i.e. X amount of authorized shares we "could" buy), but in reality they are just announcements and companies many times only buy a fraction of the shares authorized. But from a strategic point of view, it's an interesting move even if they don't follow through all the way since it shows the company has the willpower to support the stock price. Either way it's a nice comfort to shareholders to see an engaged management. Most of the time you see executives more than happy to line their own pockets with extra cash rather than defend shareholders. Those darn socialist Canadians, thinking so different than Americans...

Why Its Time to Short Amazon
There are a lot of stubborn bears out there that still are shouting “overvalued” when it comes to Amazon (AMZN), the trouble is, nobody is paying attention to them as the shares just keep on moving higher and higher. At a market cap of $58 billion, Amazon's valuation is a mere 10% from its all time high. It is slated to grow its earnings to $2.91 in 2010, and another 34% to $3.80 in 2011, reaching a forward multiple of 34 times earnings. The question is, How much of these expected earnings gains are already factored into the stock price? Speculators are betting that Amazon delivers earnings even higher than these lofty expectations, but can Amazon pull another rabbit out of the hat? I don't think so! This type of speculation is reminiscent of a bubble or house of cards. As long as these gamblers have a greater fool to unload their shares to, the stock will continue to gain traction. We all know the final conclusion to a speculative frenzy: A spectacular implosion. I’m not saying this will happen, but It certainly reasonable to theorize that the higher the shares rise, the riskier they become. I'm not saying we are at "tulip craze" levels yet, but it could easily end up that way.

Search Growth Crucial for Google, Yahoo
The number of internet searches conducted worldwide is crucial for the stocks of Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO). The number of worldwide internet searches has an impact on the search advertising business of both companies. We estimate that the search advertising business constitutes about 68% of the $703 Trefis price estimate for Google’s stock and 25% of the $21 Trefis price estimate for Yahoo’s stock. We believe that increases in the number of searches made by an average internet user will be primary source of growth for the overall volume of searches. 56 Billion Monthly Internet Searches in 2009

Why Priceline.com Could Soon Be Grounded
Priceline.com (PCLN) has surely had its day in the sun, but the party may soon come to an end. Priceline.com's earnings growth could soon start to wane. In the last four quarters, the company has seen its earnings grow 50%, but that robust growth could be pared by more than 60%, to the 20% vicinity due to: (1) A stronger U.S. dollar –although the company does use currency hedges (2) Financial instability in Europe (especially Greece and Spain). (3) The law of larger numbers (4) More savvy competitors (5) Difficult comps (5) Potential share dilution created by a $500 million note offering. In 2010, analysts are expecting Priceline.com to earn $11.09, and then increase those earnings only 19 % in 2011 to $13.16. The company’s 2010 forward multiple of 22 seems quite reasonable. However, that is based on pro forma earnings (excluding stock based compensation, such as option grants). When adding in the cost of stock based compensation, earnings estimates would be about 33% less at $7.43 (GAAP earnings) computing to a significantly greater forward multiple of 32.
