Trying to catch a few points back the other way on a near-term recovery. Market sentiment has been incredibly unfavorable overall, and also specifically to RATE. So this move is partly because I think a little rebound is likely... but mostly because ...

I made a mistake of not shorting RATE when I saw it at 50 and I still cry over that. PE of 75! 75!!! With a PE like that you'd think that they'd have a patent on a cure for cancer. Do the words "tech bubble" mean anything to the longs? "Internet adve...

I have been eyeing this one though I have a suspicion of pay per click, it's on sale and the latest results look good. And it once again has the Foolish Dave seal of approval. What more could you ask for?

This is a fast growing business with a unique niche and little competition. I was trying to buy it on the dip, but it's already up 7% today so I'm a couple hours late. Close enough for CAPS.

From Agora Financial 10 Sep 07:

Considering that Bankrate does little more than publish interest rate data, why should its stock sell for 47 times earnings? Could such a Web site have a lasting competitive advantage? Why couldn’t sites with far larg...

RATE has gotten absolutely hammered in the past few months. If the beating is due to cooling housing mkts and fed rate increases, it's unwarranted. Revenue model is based on ads and hyperlinks. Their strong brand should continue to lead to lots of...

Perhaps there is a real 'need' for this stuff but I don't believe it. If it gets sucked up by someone much larger, the applications could become mighty important to a larger audience but, as it currently works/sells/exists, I only see this going down...

Revenue is forecast growing at 23% and earnings expected to grow at a 25% clip means money in the bank. The Company has a habit of beating estimates and analyst forecasts have been increasingly more pleasing so what's not to like?
