Is Demand Media Selling Amazing Domains To Help Stock Price?

Written on April 29th, 2011 by directnavigation12 shouts

Demand Media lists Map.com and Run.com for sale on Sedo
I wrote the other day about Demand Media large drop in stock price from its high. I imagine that there are a number of insiders biting their nails waiting for the opportunity to cash out. Each day the the stock trades lower there will be less money for their future bank accounts. (note- the stock has gone up some since my first comment but still trades below the IPO price.) Today I saw that Demand Media has listed 2 amazing domains for sale at from what I am told, reasonable reserves. If these names do sell cheap, it makes one wonder if they are throwing out great assets in order to increase the bottom line.

Insurance Domains Seem To be Real Hot

Written on April 28th, 2011 by directnavigation11 shouts

As I was writing this post, i noticed Elliot mentioned in Elliots blog that CarInsurance.TV just sold for $13,000 and CarInsuranceQuotes.TV is asking 13 million. I decided to see whats still available in the major Insurance lead gen category domains. In the last few months Insurance lead gen names domain names have done extremely well in the aftermarket. For example, Homeownersinsurance.com sold for $570,000 this past November. All the major domains with .com, .net or .org now have sites on them, with the exception of Insurance.net. FYI – I emailed the owner of Insurance.net, he offered me the domain name for 3 million USD. As for the latest Insurance build out,It seems that Insurance.org, was turned into an insurance lead site for insurance quotes just the other day.

Just recently another major insurance .com domain was sold with an NDA attached for millions. It seems that these names have become printing presses for their owners. There seems to be no letup in that market.

Demand Media Stock Is Going DOWN, DOWN, DOWN

Written on April 25th, 2011 by directnavigation6 shouts

What will Demand Media stock be at six months following their IPO date? That is a very important question that many employees and early investors are asking. That date is when they have their first opportunity to sell their shares.

In the past, many technology employees have become overnight millionaires once their firm went public but had worthless paper once they were able to sell their shares. Of course you have companies such as Google and Apple, where many employees did very well when their time came.

Let’s get back to Demand Media. The stock was one of the first high flying tech firms to go out this year. I can tell you that they threw an incredible party at Domainfest celebrating their IPO. Whats not to celebrate. They priced at $17 per share and hit a high over $27. Unfortunately what goes up, must come down. When Google made changes to their algorithm, some Demand sites suffered large traffic decreases. It must have put a scare into investors as the stock has been trading down each day. Today it hit an all time low of 13.99 during the trading day.

What will it be in 3 more months. My personal guess is under $10, which is a lot higher than I think it will be in 1-2 years.

I must say that Mind.com is a nice name. I also like the 120,000 Euros that it sold for last week. Mahjonggames.com sold for 46,000 USD. That name brings back memory’s of my grandmother playing with all her friends. Recently I read that Mahjong games are on a huge upswing. Congrats to buyer and seller.
