As major media companies re-tool for future growth and prepare to meet increasing digital challenges, the M&A market in the first quarter of 2009 came close to hibernation in the face of the economic downturn and tight credit markets, according to (pdf) the latest M&A report from the Jordan, Edmiston Group, Inc. (JEGI).
I just received my proxy statement for Jupitermedia (NASD: JUPM) regarding the sale of its Jupiterimages division to Getty. The division is being sold for $96 million. Jupitermedia’s current market cap is $18 million, but there are some good reasons for this.
On the back of the wireless spectrum auction results, I just wanted to share some ideas that I had penned almost two months ago about how to make sense of the rapid changes going on in the wireless industry. More specifically, what I believe is happening is the evolution from Internet and wireless as two separate entities to a more unified, Wireless Internet.

On Monday, Jupitermedia (NASD: JUPM) reported its full year and fiscal results for the fourth quarter 2007. The company reported a slight revenue increase in 2007, but earnings per share came in at a negative $2.13 per share. This earnings number is discouraging and a bit misleading.

Some of the cash within my Against the Sky Portfolio needs to be put
to work. Below are some additions that will likely occur over the next
week provided that prices do not rise about certain price targets.
Automatic Data Processing (NYSE: ADP) - If another
market drop occurs, I will look to purchase shares of ADP. I?d like to

I have followed Jupitermedia Corporation (NASD: JUPM) since the company purchased internet.com at the end of the internet bubble. Jupitermedia provides various images, original online information, and events for information technology [IT], business and creative professionals. The company's focus on providing information and media to a narrow segment of the population should allow for targeted advertising and enhancement of revenue. But as we shall see below, this has not always been the case.
Jupitermedia is one of my more speculative holdings. It pains me to say...
Mark Hines submits: I've spent much of the last several weeks reading a variety of academic
papers on quantitative models from various Finance and Economics
Journals (click here for some of my favorites).
I'm generally suspicious of the Real World applications of such
academic research, so I also back-tested some of these factor models
using current Real World data (click here for data, regression results, and a graph of the regression results). Much to my surprise, the factor models actually did a...
Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit: The earnings roller coaster ride is coming to an end this quarter, as the number of reports by day continues to decline. This week we have WYNN reporting on Monday, TYC, MMC and CSCO on Tuesday, S and BID on Wednesday, and URBN, CSC and NVDA finishing us off on Thursday. We'll be back later with more second quarter earnings analysis.
