Date updated:04-30-2007

I focused on several portfolios for coming up with this list:

Biggest % Losers , primarily from last Thursday, as I think the snapbacks probably happen sometime Mon-Wed.

Latest Activist Situations, as these could get heated during the coming week.

Top 10 Potential Short Squeeze. Particularly when combined with earnings.

Most Volatile on Earnings Day and I combined that with looking at what earnings plays were coming up this week, combined with who has sold off the most this year but have had good funds accumulating their shares.

  • UNTD
    United Online
  • $6.96
  • +2.05%
  • $6.94

The company has been in the penalty box this past quarter because everyone is worried about declining revenues in their online services division. However, this quarter my guess is their content division (including social network Classmates.com and Mypoints.com) will surpass the online services division in paying cusomters. I think UNTD will get "re-valued" as a media company before long and begin trading at 10x cash flows instead of 5x. Starting, I hope, with this earnings report. earnings may 1 - trades for 5x cash flows - $162mm cash in the bank, no debt - Renaissance Technologies - Royce Total Return Fund - Analysts expect 1.08 in 2007, 1.05 in 2008 - They've beaten estimates 4 qtrs in a row - Last qtr, content and media surged 67% to $43mm. online services went from 104mm to 87mm paying accts increased by 91,000 to 2.3mm in content. Online drecreased 149,000 to 2.6mm.
