I don't know anyone who uses this dilligently, or pays for it. No clue how it makes any money. That scares me.

With a PE just over 15, this stock appears to be oversold right now

I'll bite on this at 22. Appears to be too cheap and I like that. I will keep my eye on this one and maybe I will open a position.

The cancellation of NBC's hit show "who do you think you are" caused a panik sell with a 18% sell-off, taking the price down to about 20.50

The cancellation of the show undoubtely will manifest itself in the next few quarters, but 2-5 yrs down the line, ti mihgt be irrelevant.

There will be advertising via many different avenues, such as online advertising, there might be cooperation with social media such as facebook.

Just as Goldman's analysis, this might be a good time to buy in.

In terms of technical analysis , there is very strong support at the 20.50 level, and that's where it dropped.

Since I am a long term investor, I am not selling here.

Curious about this one. The numbers show a stock that's reasonably priced paired with what I believe to be good growth prospects. My friends have started getting into it, and talk about it a lot. (I'm in my mid-30's, so I'm guessing I'm not the typical user). Tracking here, thinking about buying.

I'm coming around to the idea that ancestry.com may be different than most .com's which I am generally skeptical of. Reading this article: http://news.yahoo.com/census-documenting-great-depression-released-151755443.html made me want to see what resources there are available online about my family so I can see how they can make money, and certainly with more and more information coming on daily there could be a recurring revenue stream through subscriptions. Still too skeptical to invest in real life without doing more research though.

Ancestry.com (NASDAQ: ACOM) reported fourth quarter earnings in line with analyst estimates but showed weakness in estimated 2012 profit driven by a less than expected 12% growth in subscribers. The negative outlook caused shares of the company to plunge almost 17% by the end of trading this past Thursday. This significant drop in the share price will surely begin to attract suitors who could find value in ACOM’s assets. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), for example, could find value in integrating ACOM’s genealogy content to boost their information driven business model or the search engine giant could tap the 1.7 million subscribers to integrate with their Google + social media offering. Both the content and subscriber base would make sense for the company and would be what is most likely touted to shareholders if the company did acquire ACOM. But Wall Street analysts and keen investors will most likely realize that the most strategic value for the company might be to make sure the assets don’t fall into the hands of a much more dangerous competitor.

The price $24.45 is far cheaper than what it is worth! The market does follow a random walk and the fear of the company's performance. I have to ask. Who is their competitor in the field? Is there any other company providing the service that this company has been providing? This monopoly they have in the field will help grow this company as well as revenue. Its a buy.

A slight decline in expected growth, but growth is growth.

With a positive EPS and an estimated revenue in line with Wall Street "experts" estimates, who can resist buying in when this bad boy is down?

Risky, but I really like the concept and today's 20% drop is simply too much too resist.

The player in the genealogy industry online. 16%+ future growth expected, about $24 mil. positive cash flow average in the last 4 quarters. Balance sheet with no long term debt. Company has beaten earnings expectations 3 of the last 4 quarters. The company has also bought back their shares 3 of the last 4 quarters.

Ancestry.com should see s new serge of traffic on its site with the long awaited release of the 1940 census. After 72 years the 1940 census records will be available for public view in a few months and Ancestry provides easy access. The short sellers have already had to rush to cover their positions with a mini rally this first 10 days in Jan 2012. The stock has been beaten down from more than $45 to under $30 where it may linger long enough for me to buy more!
