RealNetworks, Inc. (RNWK)

i like rhapsody and itunes sucks. Acer needs them.

Looks like its trading near its lows. I woudln't by it with any real money, but here it should outperform.

10/29/08, 5:00 PM. Lousy company trading for cash value. Potential buyout candidate. Against S&P best rating is up-thumb.

Member of the "Undervalued Club" bandwagon.

PE high but if that were tech critieria nobody would own MSFT, GOOG, this is insider buying pick.

this is a gamble. if they fix the product (yes, Rhapsody) and make it work nicely (fix the goddamn bugs!) and everywhere (iphone? everywhere-over-the-air-device?) they'll be the domination in music-reniting business. so far nobody has a better offering.

if they don't do all those things, well, they'll be a big boat in a big fleet.

I like the below $10 price and its potential for a good return.

Every computer on Earth comes with the Real Player to watch stream casts, podcasts, high lights you tube etc etc. I like the product and think the best is yet to come.

within 3 months

The price would go up!

RNWK will outperform the market this year as they are horribly undervalued and perception of the company is incorrect after big investments in online gaming and Rhapsody Music service.

Undervalued online content distributor which is growin its revenue source from online casual games around the entire world, including Europe and South America. Casual games is the fastest growing segment of the videogames business and RNWK is well positioned to take advantage of higher profit-margins in this sector and/or be acquired by a larger media company interested in entering the space.

Big deals and GOOGLES need to get into games and music - look for a good speculation play.

Then look into a solid company with their hands in a lot of growing revenue streams.

With MTV and games on the internet, this could be the next Apple.

Real has, though it's client is a mess, a good technology on the backend: the former helix server is the only one out there, able to in- or decrease the quality of streams on the fly, depending on the users bandwith. By WebTV becoming more and more relevant for mass media, this could be a good shot for either google or microsoft...

Hype on MS antitrust and takeout plan or spinoff of Music business or merger with NAPS.

PS

RNWK will use it's money from MSFT law suit to grow and mature the company.

Great buy at $6.45
