Zynga (Nasdaq: ZNGA) and Farmville Feeling a 'Drought' of Their Own

Tomahawk, WI 7/26/12 (StreetBeat) – Zynga (Nasdaq: ZNGA) is having a terrible pre-market day this morning down more than 40 percent at $3.04 per share on volume of more than 4.5 million shares, as I write.

Many analysts slashed their ratings and price targets after Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) changed the way users find games on its platform. They essentially made it harder to find older games like “FarmVille” and “Hidden Chronicles” that Zynga relies on heavily to keep its social media ship afloat.

Zynga is down more than 60 percent since March and has a range between $4.45 and $15.91 per share. Market cap is $3.75 billion and Zynga averages just fewer than 24 million shares traded per day.

This doesn’t look pretty for Facebook, who is slated to report its second quarter earnings after the market close today.

Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) Banking on Subscribers Not Financials

Tomahawk, WI 7/26/12 (StreetBeat) – Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) is due to report its much anticipated earnings after the market close today. This is a stock that will be a long-term investment and is not dependent nearly as much as most every other stock on its earnings and revenue numbers as opposed to its number of subscribers.

Facebook is, by far, the most popular social network after surpassing MySpace years ago with its user-friendly apps and popular games but has frustrated investors and potential investors by not taking advantage of the potential revenue from its subscriber base of a billion plus.

The stock is a heavily traded stock, averaging more than 46 million shares per day, with a range between $25.52 and $45.00 since its IPO back in May.

Currently, Facebook has a market cap of $63 billion and closed yesterday at $29.34 per share.

In pre-market trading, shares were down more than 6 percent at $27.50 per share with traders expecting disappointing results.

Estimates are calling for earnings of $0.12 per share on revenue of $1.15 billion.

What is the True Value of Water

Tomahawk, WI 7/23/12 (StreetBeat) – Bottled water is a $10 billion industry and in a year like this one with the record drought affecting much of the US corn market, water has been a hot topic between politicians, analysts, farmers and, of course, the everyday consumer.

I grew up on a cotton farm in Mississippi and have spent many a hot summer days pumping millions of gallons of water into the fields with nothing on my mind but how hot it was outside.

Today, I watched a special on CNBC about the business of water entitled “Liquid Assets” and began to reflect on how much water is wasted everyday which is one of the main reasons why there is so much more of a push today on conservation.

Water is the most abundant resource on the planet, but it, like anything else can be depleted unless people take the proactive approach of using only what they need instead of wasting countless gallons on the overwatering of gardens, lawns, houseplants, etc…

The “Liquid Assets” special was a very informative and interesting piece that everyone in the world, especially the US, can relate too.

Should water be more regulated? How much water does the average person really need and how is that determined? What should a farmer receive per acre to water his/her crops on an annual basis?

These are just a few of the questions that would have to be answered before drafting new legislation or drawing up a realistic plan to actively approach water conservation.

Some water stocks to follow:

Mueller Water Products (NYSE: MWA) closed up slightly at $3.51 per share on moderate volume.

Aqua America (NYSE: WTR) closed down at $26.54 per share on average volume.

Abtech Holdings (OTC: ABHD) closed down slightly at $0.82 per share on light volume.

Kayak and Palo Alto Take Off Day One Trading with a Bang

Palm Beach, FL 7/20/12 (StreetBeat) – Kayak (Nasdaq: KYAK), a household name for online hotel-and flight-search, jumped $4, or 16 percent, this morning to open at $30 a share.

The company sold shares last night at $26 a share, raising $100 million. At that price point, the company has a market valuation of $1 billion.

Only last week, Kayak had estimated it would sell 3.5 million shares between $22 and $25. The stock can be found on Nasdaq Exchange under the ticker symbol “KYAK.”

Kayak was founded in 2004 by Steve Hafner, Kayak’s CEO, and Paul English, Kayak’s CTO.

The IPO has been a long time in coming. The Norwalk, Conn.-based company filed nearly a year ago, but faced multiple delays as the economy sputtered. More recently, the offering was considered to be a possibility again after other companies, such as LinkedIn, Yelp, Angie’s List, Facebook and others, went public with varying degrees of success.

Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), a provider of Internet firewall technology, also started trading early this morning, jumping as much as 48 percent in its public debut.

Kayak had raised a combined $223 million over four rounds, including a mammoth $196 million round in 2007 from Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst Partners and Accel Partners, most of which was used to acquire rival SideStep for about $200 million in cash and stock.

Rambus Inc (Nasdaq: RMBS) Drops 15% After Q2 Report

Orlando, FL 7/20/12 (StreetBeat) – Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq: RMBS) missed Wall Street’s earnings targets by $.09 per share in its Q2 report, causing shares to plunge 15% to $4.43. The stock has dropped 37% in 2012, and the company cites 15% lower sales year over year on “decrease in contract revenue, lower royalties reported by certain licensees and expiration of a patent license agreement.”

According to Motley Fool, the company is spending less on expensive litigation campaigns than it used to, but operating costs are way up anyhow. This it due to Rambus’ trying its hand at growth by acquisition, incurring a variety of costs for the add-on operations. Rambus received its first royalty payment from a recent Broadcom agreement, but it wasn’t enough to balance out Rambus’ challenges.

Rambus is currently a one-star CAPs stock (out of five). The company plans to explore pathways such as its new LED lighting research, hoping for about 15% of its revenue out of that division in 2013.

EcoloCap (OTCBB: ECOS) Signs Non-Binding LOI with GFE Global

Shawshank, VA 7/20/12 (StreetBeat) – EcoloCap Solutions Inc (OTCBB: ECOS) has signed a non-binding LOI with GFE global Inc to operate and distribute its diesel water emulsion (M-Fuel) production NPUs as well as its proprietary additive. This LOI is subject to further discussion and definitive agreements are expected to be signed by July 25, 2012. In this deal, EcoloCap’s M-Fuel products will be sold in Central American countries as a first step, and then extend to other areas based on penetration targets.

Michael Siegel, President and CEO of EcoloCap, stated: "Central America is a prime target for our technology for two reasons: The high cost of fuel in the area and government environmental regulations for heavy oil users to reduce harmful emissions. Independent tests demonstrate that our M-Fuel technology will reduce the consumption of diesel and other heavy oil by up to 30% and further reduce particulate emissions by over 90%, and NOx by 60%."

Joseph J Black, COO of GFE Global Inc., added: "All Latin American counties with the exception of Venezuela and possibly Brazil are petro fuel NET importers. Many have no oil resources whatsoever. The cost of diesel fuel is well over $4 a gallon in most of these countries and over $5 a gallon in several. We will start introducing the EcoloCap technology in Costa Rica because of their high priced fuel and the government's goal for the country to be carbon neutral by 2021, Costa Rica being true to their reputation as an eco-oriented country. We then plan to expand to Panama and other Latin American countries.”

3 Things to Know Before Trading

Atlanta, GA 7/20/12 (StreetBeat) – Stocks were mostly weaker in Asian trade. The Nikkei was among the worst with a 1.4% loss, Shanghai was down three quarters of a percent and Australia lost a slight fraction. The Hang Seng stood out with a gain of 0.4%. European indexes are down this morning, with the Dax and Footsie both down a bit more than a half percent. US stock futures are lower by a half percent or so as I write.

*Euro Zone Fin Mins completed the agreement on Spain’s bank bailout during a Euro Group conference call today.

*Maybe the Euro Group can schedule another conference call to discuss not Spain’s banks, but Spain’s regional governments; Reuters is reporting that Spain’s Valencia region says it will seek central government help in repaying its debt.

*None of this is helping the euro currency, today it has set record lows against the Aussie and Loonie and it is not far from the two year low against the greenback that was hit a week ago.

*The June reading of Germany’s Producer Price Index is -0.4%, twice the expected monthly decline. The annualized PPI is +1.6%, also a couple of tenths under the estimate and down five tenths from the level seen in May.

Tim Participações (NYSE: TSU) Blindsided with the Blockage of Sales in 19 States

Atlanta, GA 7/19/12 (StreetBeat) – TIM Participações SA (NYSE: TSU) was blindsided today with Anatel blocking the sale of new lines in 19 states. Tim is the only operator in today’s market that sells its phones unlocked and without loyalty penalty. In 2011, the company became the 2nd largest mobile operator in the country.

Tim said, "The decision was apparently based on data and indicators different from those usually established by Anatel it self to track the performance of the network. The presented measure took into account, for example, the percentage difference in each state between the worst operator and the others' average in complaints to the Anatel's call center, a measure until now unknown and does not necessarily reflect the quality of the network...TIM reaffirms that it is developing a set of infrastructure projects to continue to provide innovative services to customers, supporting the growth and capturing the opportunities that market offers...The Company is also working on upgrading equipment, doubling the speed of the infrastructure of mobile Internet access to 42 Mbps, or HSPA+, an intermediate step between 3G and 4G."

Shares are trading down 8% or $2.08 at $21.65 Thursday.

Psivida Corp (Nasdaq: PSDV) Soars As Eye Device Moves to Late-Stage Trials

Palm Beach, FL 7/19/12 (StreetBeat) – Shares of Psivida Corp (Nasdaq: PSDV) surged 37% Thursday following the U.S. health regulators clearance of its experimental eye insert to skip initial studies and proceed directly to late-stage trials. The insert is a sustained-release device injected into the back of the eye and aims to treat posterior uveitis. Posterior Uveitis, classified as the 3rd largest cause of blindness in the US, is an inflammatory disease of one of the layers of the eye.

"As the same micro-insert was used in the Iluvien trials, we expect to observe a comparable side-effect profile in uveitis patients as was seen in diabetic macular edema patients," Chief Executive Paul Ashton said. Iluvien has been rejected twice by the FDA, but is currently approved to treat retinal swelling in diabetic patients in the UK, Austria, France, and Portugal.

Psivida added that “since the experimental insert delivers the same drug as its other insert Retisert, which is FDA-approved to treat posterior uveitis, the company expects to see favorable efficacy in the late-stage studies”.

Shares are currently trading at $2.94, up $.80 or 37%.

Suspect Detection Systems (OTCBB: SDSS) Fulfills Order for Additional Cogito Units

Orlando, FL 7/18/12 (StreetBeat) -- Suspect Detection Systems Inc. (OTCBB: SDSS), through its subsidiary Suspect Detection Systems Ltd., is a developer of proprietary counter terrorism and crime prevention technology designed to identify threats in real-time, and prevent incidents before they are carried out. The technology detects the hidden "hostile intent" of assailants - before they commit their intended acts - with a high degree of accuracy. The system can also be used after a crime is committed to quickly identify criminals from among a general population pool, including suspects.

In a recent press release, the company has announced that several thousand aviation employees of a major American airline have been screened utilizing the proprietary Cogito hostile intent detection system in Latin America.

The CEO, Mr. Boosidan, also added that "The successful implementation of this screening procedure provides us with opportunities for our proprietary Cogito threat detection system to be used to screen airport employees on multiple continents,"

One of the high profile products offered by the company is called Cogito. It has been designed with both mobile and stand-alone applications. The technology can be instantly introduced to any market, and can be easily deployed worldwide at any location susceptible to infiltration and attack.

Other include Cogito4M - Mobile System
The Mobile System enables Cogito to be employed whenever and wherever it is needed. The mobile functionality allows interrogations to take place in central and remote locations alike. Cogito has been utilized at crime scenes and in even in the middle of war zones.

In many cases, it is easier to transport Cogito to potential suspects, than it is to transport those suspects to an interrogation unit.

The picture displays the Cogito 4M Mobile System unit utilized by military for rapid intelligence gathering in the field, police interrogations, mobile pre-employment screenings, and internal threat and theft prevention applications.

The mobile system is comprised of all of the components of the stand alone system.

Cogito4M - Military Grade Rigid Manpack System
The rigid manpack system allows soldiers to carry Cogito in the field. The Military Grade Rigid Manpack System is even smaller than the typical Mobile 4M unit.

The casings are sturdy and light while the system has all the components of a standalone unit. The system can be used in war zones and across borders.

Cogito 1003 Standalone Mass Screening Unit
The Standalone Mass Screening Unit is ideal for locations where dozens of interrogations will take place each day (ie. airport terminals, border crossings, etc.). In addition, tens of stations can be installed in a single location, or at various locations (across several airport terminals), and monitored by a single administrator.

SmallCap Stocks on the Move: SLTD; INAR; MFTH

Tomahawk, WI 7/17/12 (StreetBeat) -- Smallcap stocks are usually very volatile and can be great ways to get significant returns without allocating the capital for say an investment in big market names like Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) or Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) that trade in the high dollar ranges.

LiveDeal (Nasdaq: LIVE) CEO Issues Letter to Shareholders

Northern, WI 7/17/12 (StreetBeat) – LiveDeal, Inc. (Nasdaq:LIVE) issued a letter today to shareholders from President and CEO Jon Isaac. The following letter outlines LiveDeal’s recent achievements, strategic business plans and market opportunities for growth.

The stock has plummeted 33% within the past two weeks, currently trading at $9.67. Jon Isaac seeks to provide an explanation and show opportunities of growth through the following letter.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

I would like to start by saying that I am honored to serve as LiveDeal's President and CEO. Since January of this year, LiveDeal has made tremendous progress, including a significant reorganization of our corporate activities and the development of a new suite of products and solutions to bring to our customers.

First, I'd like to share with you some of our corporate milestones achieved year-to-date:

• We have focused on cleaning up our balance sheet and in the process retired debt with an 18% interest rate. All of the company's assets were secured by this note. I am pleased to announce that this note has been paid in full and our assets have been released from this lender.
• We are now fully compliant with all the requirements pertaining to our Nasdaq listing.
• In addition to relocating offices in Las Vegas, we opened an office in San Diego, California. Combined, we have reduced overhead costs and expenditures to achieve greater operational efficiencies.
• Following 39 consecutive months of losses, I am happy to announce that LiveDeal achieved profitability in the month of April, 2012. This result is based on unaudited financials, and does not predict any future performance of the Company.

The LiveDeal Mission -- To Provide Local Commerce Solutions for Local Businesses Worldwide

Second, I'd like to discuss our mission for the future and the opportunities that we are readily capitalizing on. LiveDeal has a long history of serving local businesses. We wish to remain in this space because we believe there exists tremendous opportunity.

The local commerce segment is estimated to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars. However, in order for us to succeed in the long term, we need to add value for merchants and continue to cultivate our relationships with them. Our business strategy is built around the following:

• Mobile applications will be our primary focus for product development.
• We are developing strategic relationships with larger, well-known companies in the industry that can add value to our local merchant customer base.
• We plan to leverage these strategic relationships and alliances to move quickly to market a suite of state-of-the-art local commerce solutions based on patentable technology.
• We will target our existing subscribers, as well as new customers, for our product line.
• We anticipate to finalize discussions with several large strategic partners, and announce formal agreements with them in the very near future.

LiveDeal: Not a 'Daily-Deal' Company

Third, I want to be clear that LiveDeal is not a "daily deal" company, nor do we have plans to enter into this market segment at this time. Based on our research, we do not believe that the daily deal model is a successful or profitable one. We do not believe that taking 50% of merchants' revenue is a long term value add proposition for our clients. Instead, we have decided to focus on adding value for our merchants. We are in the late stages of releasing a suite of mobile technology applications, which may present ground-breaking solutions to better serve our local business customers. We anticipate that these new products can deliver significant revenue opportunities for our customers.

I believe that we are building a very strong foundation from which our targeted business objectives can be achieved. I hope that you will share in my excitement for LiveDeal's future outlook. I am extremely happy to be part of a company poised for tremendous growth. As always, thank you for your continued support and interest in our Company.

Sincerely,

Jon Isaac
President & CEO
LiveDeal, Inc.

Fuel Tech (Nasdaq: FTEK) Awarded Largest Contract in Its History

Northern, WI 7/17/12 (StreetBeat) – Fuel Tech, Inc (Nasdaq: FTEK) was awarded its largest air pollution control contract in its history. The company is trading up 16.19%, increasing 74 cents to $5.31.

Fuel Tech is a leading technology company engaged in the worldwide development, commercialization, and application of state-of-the-art proprietary technologies for air pollution control, process optimization, and advanced engineering services. This $36.6 million order, placed by a major utility in Chile (E.CL S.A.), requires Fuel Tech to use its turnkey installation of Low NOx Burners (LNBs) and Over-Fire Air (OFA) systems and mill modernization for six coal-fired units. Deliveries are expected to commence during the first quarter of 2013, with project completion occurring during the third quarter 2014.

It’s burner technologies are a cost-effective way to reduce NOx emissions and solve combustion problems in coal, gas, or oil combustion systems. Fuel Tech is able to do this by diverting air from the burner zone to the upper furnace for enhanced combustion staging.

“We have consciously expanded our international presence to achieve both growth and regulatory diversification in our air pollution control business. We have strategically focused on key geographic markets and are thrilled to be announcing an order of this magnitude,” commented Douglas G. Bailey, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In terms of installed capacity, E.CL S.A. is a major electric generator in Chile and is the main electricity provider in the country’s northern energy grid. In this instance, E.CL is upgrading its combustion systems to reduce NOx emissions below 500 mg/m3 in order to comply with the new Chilean environmental law signed by the President of the Republic of Chile on January 18, 2011. French-Belgian electric company GDF Suez S.A., a global leader in independent power generation, holds a majority controlling stake in E.CL.”

Mr. Bailey concluded, “We are pleased to be partnering with a customer of this size and caliber. This contract award represents our second LNB project in Chile and demonstrates our global reach and combustion capabilities. With our industry-leading suite of air pollution control products and services, we believe we are well positioned to compete for additional opportunities for combustion optimization in the domestic and international markets.”
