SALE

Post by Reub »

I am definitely not a stock picker but I have a good feeling about a company called Retailmenot. It is an online coupon business that had a recent IPO. I see it as being in the same social media class as Yelp, Groupon, Zillow, FB but is still under the radar. Over 300 million customers have used this company's website to acquire coupons. All of those other companies mentioned above have popped recently. Up 3.83% today to 32.28/share.

"However, Mahaney said the company could face challenges as it is “very dependent”? on search engines for its traffic and that changes to search-engine algorithms “could negatively impact RetailMeNot’s ability to generate site traffic.”? "

Translation: Google's got them by the balls. 

As somebody who's own business model is pretty much in the same position, I say: Pass on this one.  You'll thank me, later.  ;)
"Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is. "

Retailmenot Inc. up 30% in the past month! Maybe I'll become a day trader. :)
