This is how we play...we burn 4M in Q1, and 2M in each of the remaining quarters (10M per year). Repeat till no more money to burn.
I would short this stock but cannot take that risk...I would have bought put options if they were available. If you are invested in this stock or are looking to invest, please read on.. For those who are waiting for a turnaround...well the problem is not the housing market so don't expect zipr to do better when housing stabilizes....they did not make a dime even when both house prices and transaction volumes were at a peak in 2005....one of the original guys already cashed out of his shares last year by selling stock back to the company (the stock buyback in 2008 was not an open market purchase..it was the insider selling stock back to the company). For those who believe that increasing revenue will help them turn around...just look at the numbers in best quarters and you will soon realize that the losses stay the same no matter what the revenue is...the company had one or two near break even quarters at the peak of the housing market and even then it did not generate FCF. So what else the company can do to make a profit....if it was me, I would fold the business and return the remaining cash to the shareholders. You may want to listen to the Q&A of the last few conference calls...even the analyst do not bother asking about the business...most of their queries are about the general housing market. And for that poster who keeps promoting the website and the agents....if the company cannot make a profit it does not matter how good the website or the agents are. In short...the business model is flawed and such a business cannot make a profit for an extended period of time no matter how good the housing market is. Good Luck. Rating :
