United Online, Inc. (NASDAQ:UNTD)

Well managed, large dividend.

magic formula, the company might be fine later on, but the timing of my pick is what really sucked and that coupled with the reasoning I made these picks at this time makes it even worse. I went against my plan to be out of the market by may because i wanted to use up most of my free trades before they expired in a month or so--silly reasoning. was pretty much a wash in real life just not on caps because I decided to hold them and hope. will most likely hold on to this because of the dividend.

Small cheap and under-followed. Plus a dividend. Yielding 6.96%.

Beaten down dividend play with a few potential kickers

Magic Formula

varp screen

BBands

High return on capital, high earnings yield

Ok, I'll bite. This has been a perennial stock on the Magic Formula screen, which is not necessarily a good thing. I hate their portfolio of low quality online businesses, of which others have pointed out. However they manage to generate some serious free cash which they've used to pay down debt along with a healthy dividend. FTD.com looks very strong. If I can just get myself to look away from their other businesses, I might just buy this in my real account.

Joel Greenblatt Pick

Good valuation and dividend compared to other internet companies.

Low cost internet provider.

250 Million in cash.

No debt.

Currently paying a 10% dividend.

Change is coming to dial-up. Someone smart will merge UNTD and Earthlink and just inherit AOL's customers by default. Classmates for all its detractors makes money.

Internet company, trying to sell an IPO,

is not this the blind leading the blind, they failed to make the stock holders who purchased at there IPO rich. so now they are getting into the IPO business,

the name united online, stinks sounds just like America online, makes me think of failure.

IF THIS STOCK CAN TRADE ABOVE 16.00 IT CAN GO TO 22.00 TO 25.00...IT HAS AROUND 4% DIV..

Its Reunion Time 'ol Classmates

Dial-up provider is sitting on a giant community asset in Classmates.com. These guys will be bought in the next 18 months. Potential buyers are Google and Yahoo, who can quickly integrate the community, and gain a cash generating dial-up business.

I wish there was a selection for indicating that they will likely perform about the same as the S&P because that is actually what I think. But if forced to pick either under/over perform I have to go with underperform. Dialup won't die overnight, but it slowly dieing. UNTD seems to have no broadband strategy with which to create growth.
