admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:05:25 +0000

This past year has certainly been the year of analytics acquisitions. First went Omniture, next Coremetrics, then Unica and now NedStat. comScore has acquired Dutch web analytics software: NedStat, to unify their digital management platform.

Nedstat went at a price tag of over $36 million. This move by comScore further proves the importance of measurement in online strategy, furthermore analytics as a part of of a holistic strategy which should include things like: voice of customer and competitive intelligence. comScore also purchased mobile analytics company: Nexius earlier this year – another complimentary product to web analytics.

Part of the Press Release below:

“The acquisition of Nedstat is another important step towards fulfilling our vision of making the Unified Digital Measurement platform the global standard for digital measurement,” said Dr. Magid Abraham, comScore President & CEO. “In addition, our clients are asking for a new class of business applications to maximize the monetization of their audiences using the UDM data we already collect.

“We are excited to join forces with comScore, a recognized global leader in digital measurement,” said Michael Kinsbergen, CEO of Nedstat. “comScore’s ‘Unified Digital Measurement’ platform presents a compelling vision of the future of digital measurement, and we are eager to play a vital role in helping to make that vision a reality. We believe that Nedstat web analytics can add substantial value for clients when combined with the existing comScore measurement platform.”
Upon the acquisition, Nedstat became a wholly owned subsidiary of comScore. Mr. Kinsbergen will be helping in the transition and will continue to be involved by joining comScore’s advisory board. In addition, Fred Appelman, Nedstat’s Chief Technology Officer, and Michiel Berger, Nedstat’s co-founder and Chief Innovations Officer, will join comScore in senior strategy and technology roles.

comScore believes that the Nedstat acquisition will contribute approximately $4 million of additional revenue for the remainder of 2010. comScore anticipates that due to transaction-related expenses and transaction-related accounting adjustments the transaction will be dilutive to 2010 GAAP and non-GAAP net income, but accretive to quarterly GAAP and non-GAAP net income within the first half of 2011.

Economic data for the session was mixed.

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:48:10 +0000

Economic data for the session was mixed. On one hand, the August ADP Employment Change indicated that private payrolls fell by 10,000; this is contrary to the increase of 13,000 which was widely expected. This is tempered by an increase in the ISM Manufacturing Index which was 56.3 when a 52.9 was widely expected. Despite mixed numbers, the indexes surged higher with some 98% of S&P 500 stocks positive.

Apple Inc. introduces a new version of its Apple TV device. The device which streams movies and TV shows over the internet will be $99 from $229. The device which has been around since 2007 but has ‘never been a hugh hit’ says CEO Steve Jobs.

Auto sales experienced their worst August in 27 years. Slow downs were felt by all the participants from Toyota to Hyundai. J.D. Power and Associates’ Jeff Schuster says ‘There hasn’t been enough horsepower behind the recovery to motivate consumers to regain their confidence and purchase vehicles at a higher rate’. Automakers are lowering costs on average at 3 percent or $2,681 per vehicle as well as decreasing production.

Minutes released from the Federal Reserve’s most

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:48:04 +0000

Minutes released from the Federal Reserve’s most recent meeting shows that there is an open debate about its latest step to impact the economy. The move to reinvest the proceeds of maturing mortgages and debt into U.S. Treasury is seen as move to keep money flowing through the economy. Some wondered if such a move would be enough to really help the economy.

Despite the discussion there was an almost unanimous consensus with the lone voice of dissention from Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig who has long said that inflation will start of the supply of money injected into the system isn’t decreased.

Research firm InsiderScore has reported that based on SEC public stock filings, officers and directors of Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup and Wells Fargo have sold about $100 million worth of stock so far this year. The move was in accordance to strict timing parameters placed on insiders. The move is seen as part of a general trend to diversify stakes in companies which had in the past seen as a great chance for wealth creation and a source of pride.

Crash Course: Chapter 1 – Three Beliefs & Chapter 2 – The Three E’s by Chris Martenson

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:00:23 +0000

Chapter 1 (Three Beliefs): Dr. Martenson states his three beliefs: massive change is upon us, that change may overwhelm our ability to respond, and that we do not lack the technology or understanding necessary to build a better future. The next 20 years are not going to be anything like the past 20 years. Chapter 2 (The Three “E”s): Understanding our current situation requires acknowledging that the Economy, Energy, and the Environment are all related; in short, that each “E” influences, and competes for our attention with the others. We have never simultaneously faced these issues at such levels, yet none of them can be solved in isolation. www.chrismartenson.com

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:00:09 +0000

Chapter 3 (Exponential Growth): The most important Key Concept of the Crash Course, exponential growth, demonstrates how world population, oil consumption, US money supply, water use, forest loss, species extinction, and fishery exploitation are rapidly reaching their natural limits. The implications for your life are powerful, and demand attention. Chapter 4 (The Power of Compounding): Compounding, the first Key Concept of the Crash Course is explained in this installment. Dr. Martenson draws on a paper by Dr. Albert Bartlett explaining the dangerous implications of steady rates of growth, from oil consumption to population: as Chris says, “With exponential functions, the action only heats up in the last few moments”. www.chrismartenson.com

Economic data for today failed to motivate.

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 01:43:36 +0000

Economic data for today failed to motivate. Personal spending came in as an increase of 0.4% while the consensus was for 0.3%. As a sideline note, personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased just 0.1% month-over month.

Traders were on the sideline- volume on the NYSE barely broke 800 million shares which puts today’s session as on the lightest of the year. Most people are waiting for the monthly payrolls report -out on Friday.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will testify this week about his role in the bailout of financial entities deemed ‘too big to fail’. As a key architect, Bernanke worked along side former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and now Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. The bipartisan Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission is tasked with investigating the roots of the financial panic of 2008.
