AmEx to Buy Revolution Money – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (November 19th, 2009) Writes:
American Express Company (AXP) said on Wednesday that it will acquire Internet payment platform Revolution Money for about $300 million.  The deal is expected to close in early 2010.

As Time Warner and AOL Prepare to Split, 2007 Lawsuit May Haunt Them

QualityStocks (November 17th, 2009) Writes:

After a lengthy partnership, Time Warner (TWX) and AOL are currently preparing to go their separate ways. While both companies hope for a smooth transition, a 2007 lawsuit filed by a small company Modavox (MDVX.OB) may significantly impact AOL and Time Warner valuations. Two years ago, Modavox sued AOL for patent infringement of their Behavioral Targeted Marketing intellectual property. Modavox is now asking for sanctions, and a recently released 8K third-party valuation may point to the seriousness of the issue, and its consequences for AOL. The issue will affect parent company Time Warner, as Modavox filed a suit against them as well.

The ease of a case focusing on patent infringement, such as Modavox’s, can be clouded by its a highly technical subject matter; however, Modavox’s request for sanctions is relatively simple: the motion suggests AOL/Tacoda and its attorneys repeatedly and intentionally failed to comply with general court orders pertaining

Microsoft-Yahoo: Long term merger arbitrage?

Daniel Hung (July 29th, 2009) Writes:

The market (and internet) is buzzing with talk of the Yahoo!-Microsoft search deal. The deals are pretty simple and somewhat more beneficial than the deal which AOL signed with Google a few years back. Basically, Microsoft will power Yahoo’s search and Yahoo will become the ad platform across both search properties. Yahoo is granting Microsoft a 10-year license on its search technologies and transferring much of their search development team to Microsoft. What becomes of Microsoft AdCenter seems hazy, but without access to a legitimate search destination, it will likely be phased out as advertisers prefer to deal with ad networks that have broader reach.

Implications for Yahoo! Yahoo is finally embracing the fact that it is not a true tech firm or development shop. The Company started as a web directory when the internet was in its nascence. It’s only innovation was that prior to Yahoo, no one had

How the Michael Jackson Story Impacts Investors

Contrarian Profits (July 9th, 2009) Writes:

Remember when we were in a “State of Shock” after hearing the news of Michael Jackson’s death?

That quickly turned to mania, as the media went nuts over it and fans clamored to pay their respects by buying tons of Michael Jackson merchandise. And MJ fever shows no signs of being ready to “Beat It.”

As demand for all things Michael has spiked, there’s are no doubt that many suppliers are willing to meet it. From vendors outside the Staples Center selling cheesy souvenirs, to multi-billlion dollar corporations, there are several beneficiaries of massive spending on Jackson’s music and memorabilia.

While I’m not suggesting you should unscrupulously profit from his demise, it’s a fact that some companies are enjoying a boom in Michael Jackson-related business. Here are four of them…
