Will You Add? - Wall Street to Main Street: News, Views and Commentary: April 11, 2006
Frequency (F) and Monetary (M) analysis, form together with Recency (R) the framework of RFM analysis. Though recency is the strongest predictor of future behavior, frequency and monetary analysis act in a complementary mode (to recency), to create a complete picture of the Customer behavior. There are many cases in which Recency analysis not coupled by Frequency & Monetary analysis, can give a misleading picture. For example, a new subscriber is very recent, but appears to have a low monetary value because she started using the service recently. The Business cannot tell, whether this new Customer will be profitable (will use the service a lot). On the other hand, an old Customer can be ranked low in R but high in F and/or M. This is probably a valuable Customer who is late in interacting with the Business. This is probably one of the candidate cases for a retention plan. In general F is a stronger predictor to M. If the service usage is producing a relatively stable monetary value, then M does not yiel

Before you hang me, I HATE this attitude.Why do people in one business opportunity knock other people’s opportunities?I for one, always look at other business opportunities, not because I'm unhappy with my current opportunity, far from it, but because I like to see what's going on in our industry.There are some fantastic opportunities out there and you never know, one day your company may not be here, or you may want an add-on business, whatever the reason, I doubt if you will stay with the same company forever. So take your blinkers off and keep up to date with what’s happening in our industry.There are thousands of opportunities online, some absolutely incredible opportunities and some not so incredible. You really do have to research an opportunity properly, see if the product or service is of a high quality, check the company out. If you like what you see, go for it.The great thing about business opportunities online today, is the cost of the start up, a very small ou

Readers Speak
We received an email from one of our readers/listeners in regards to yesterday’s segment, where we mentioned that Mark Cuban had something to do with the movie “Akeelah and the Bee“, and we stand corrected, as it was LionsGate Entertainment (NYSE: LGF) and not Mark Cuban. This is why input from our readers/listeners is encouraged, so thanks for the email.
Chinese President Hu Jintao
Chinese President Hu Jintao is scheduled to visit the United States on April 18-22, 2006. This is sure to be an eventful visit as the U.S. has been putting pressure on Beijing to get their house in order ahead of the historic visit.
Some of the issues that have been brought up include copyright theft, currency rates, markets barriers and beef bans.
The question that needs to be answered during his visit is “Where is the Equity in Trade?”
With an over $220 billion U.S. trade deficit with China, this is a question that needs to be answered.
Metal, Metals, Metals
As most investors already know one of the big movers have been metals, last week we mentioned a few companies that we see benefiting from the upward movement, they include Silver related companies Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE: CDE), based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Apex Silver Mines (AMEX: SIL), based in Denver, Colorado and Pan American Silver Corp (NASDAQ: PAAS), based in Vancouver B.C. Canada. Gold related companies include Corp (NYSE: GG) and Crystallex International Corp (AMEX: KRY).
Gold has moved up past the $600 mark while Silver hit an quarter century high of $12.77, other metals that have been moving higher include Copper which hit $270, Palladium which moved higher to the $362 range, Zinc hit $1.33 while Aluminum hit $1.15.
Keep in mind as the demand grows for top metals you can either own the futures contracts, which should be left to the sophisticated investors or a smarter move would be to own the companies that stand to benefit.
Bausch & Lomb
Bausch & Lomb (NYSE: BOL) will feel the heat in today’s trading session as they have agreed to stop shipping their ultra popular brand ReNu MoistureLoc. This comes on the heels of reports that stated that their ReNU solutions caused eye infections, this began in Singapore and Hong Kong back in February and is now here in the United States.
The FDA said 109 preliminary reports of a rare fungal infection that may cause loss of vision had been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 17 U.S. states.
Even though the company said that they found no evidence of the claims, the company still agreed to pull the products off the shelves. This will be a very damaging situation for the company and its shareholders as you can expect for various analyst downgrades to come down the pike.
Whether the claims are substantiated or not, the negative press will hurt the company as consumer confidence in their products drops. The stock closed on Monday at $57.44 close to their 52 week low of $57.17, the stock could break the low and keep tumbling until they find support and this may come in the mid to high $40 range.
General Motors
General Motors (NYSE:GM) sells its stake in Isuzu to a couple of Japanese trading companies and a bank for approximately US$300 million. Isuzu has been its strongest ally in Japan and now that has been eliminated. This is a part of a bigger picture for General Motors as the once darling of Wall Street continues to fall from grace and faces possible bankruptcy, though its highly unlikely. The company may seek a U.S. Government bail out, even though President Bush several months ago made mention that this was not an option but this may indeed take place. The United States at this point cannot risk losing any more footing in the U.S. automobile market. One other scenario may be the injection of private equity into General Motors, one way or another something will take place as a lifesaver for GM, the only question is how low will they go before they get it.

Because of the delay with it's backlink's update period Google have managed to control the link broker's pagerank eventure.Many would say that analyzing Google's backlinks is close to worthless, but still you need to know if your partners have your backlink with your keyword hostet on a good PR page.Pagerank still have some importants and link's poiting to your homepage is a part of the algoritme and relevant to some extend. You will never know the exact number of backlink, and they would be different from search ingine to search ingine.Link building campaigns can be time consuming, and you will never be able to guess the effect on the pagerank result. The best link would be thoose coming out of the blue, from peoble who decided your content is important and give you a link.In the end I think it's thoose kind of link that make the difference between PR 5 and PR 6,7,8,9,10 and off cause traffic. Content is king and SEO is the throne.
