Guo Guangchang, along with three partners, began investing in China in 1992 with a paltry $4,000 grubstake. Their holding company, Fosun International, has since then grown to jackpot of $6.3 billion. Forbes now estimates Mr. Guo’s stockpile at $2.8 billion. Amazing. Most of Fosun’s initial investments were in fast-growing Chinese companies in sectors like mining, steel and property. Then it shifted gears with a few investments in service companies like Focus Media (Nasdaq: FMCN). Focus Media is China’s leading digital media group (recommended by the New Frontier Trader last month). I don’t know about you, but I’m “all ears” to learn about Fosun’s next step.

It also found that 61% of people with Internet access around the world used it daily. Only 54% watched television, 36% listened to the radio and 32% read a newspaper every day. Of course, the review was conducted of Internet users, so those figures make some sense. But that wasn’t all the study found… It highlighted how emerging markets are overtaking North America and Western Europe in social networking. And it pointed out regional variations in online behavior. A full third of the world’s Internet users now live in China, India, Brazil, Russia and Indonesia. ]]></description>

Profit rose 66.7% from the year-ago level of 15 cents a share demonstrating the company’s focus on driving bottom-line growth. Better-than-expected earnings in the quarter were due to margin expansion and reduction in operating expenses. Operating expenses in the quarter fell 8.7% to $47.8 million (43.3% of total revenue) from $52.4 million (47.6% of total revenue) in the year-ago period. On February 1, 2010, ValueClick announced the divestiture of the Web Clients promotional lead generation business (previously included in the Media segment). The company has presented this divested business as a discontinued operation for 2009. Thus the discontinued segment has been excluded from the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Monster Employment Index, issued by online job-search giant Monster Worldwide (MWW), shows that the amount of jobs being lost in the U.S. is still rising, but in ever-smaller increments. The Monster Employment Index for December 2009 reached 115, four points lower than the November figure, and 12% below the December 2008 number of 131. According to Monster&#8217;s senior VP Jesse Harriott, &#8220;The decline in the Monster Employment Index during December is typical due to end-of-year seasonality. However, the improvement in the annual rate of decline lends evidence to a slight firming in underlying employer demand for workers at the end of the year.&#8221; Similarly, ADP (ADP) yesterday reported U.S. private sector job losses in December reached 84,000 &#8212; its smallest job loss read in 21 months.

(MWW) recently announced that the Monster Employment Index declined one point in November as online demand for workers remained weak across the United States. This index observes online job demand on a monthly basis and on a year-over-year basis. The index declined 17%. Headquartered in New York, Monster Worldwide, Inc. is an online recruitment firm of the parent company Monster.com, the leading career website in the world. The company is also the largest advertising agency network for worldwide recruitment, and provides direct marketing services.

The Employment Report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) was far better than expected, with a loss of only 11,000 jobs in November. Consensus expectations were for the employment report to show a loss of 125,000 jobs for the month. The good news does not stop there. The unemployment rate fell to 10.0% from 10.2% last month, and is half-way back to the 9.8% level in September, according to the employment report. In addition to the lower-than-expected employment report numbers for November, the job losses for both October and September were revised sharply lower. As of last month we thought we had shed 190,000 jobs in October &#8212; now we find out that the economy &#8220;just&#8221; lost 111,000. We ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are lowering our six-month price target on ValueClick Inc. (VCLK) to $11.00 but maintaining our Neutral rating on the stock. The company provided disappointing guidance for the coming quarter, which was much below Zacks Consensus Estimates. The unexpected weakness in the Comparison Shopping segment and slower international business, particularly in Europe, will have a negative impact on revenue growth going forward. Thus we are lowering our revenue estimates for the fourth quarter and full year 2009. The Comparison shopping segment is expected to decline in the mid-to-high teen percentage range in the coming quarter, affected by Yahoo!&#8217;s (YHOO) new ad quality ranking system. Moreover, large Web portals such as Google (GOOG), Yahoo! and MSN will increase competition for ValueClick’s display ad business.

(VCLK) third quarter pro forma (excluding stock-based compensation expenses and tax-impact only) earnings per share were 15 cents, unchanged from the previous quarter but beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. Excluding stock-based compensation expenses, discontinued operations, amortization of intangibles and the tax impact on one-time items, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the quarter came in at 34 cents per share, same as in the year-ago period. Earnings were above management’s guidance of 19 cents to 20 cents per share, demonstrating the company’s focus on driving bottom-line growth. Operating expenses in the quarter fell to $68.3 million (52.5% of total revenue) from $106.9 million (72.2% of total revenue) in the year-ago period.

We expect the company to report in-line third quarter results, if not higher than the guidance, due to the continued deterioration in the lead generation business. Headquartered in Westlake Village, California, ValueClick is a diversified provider of Internet advertising solutions and online marketing services for online advertisers and website publishers. ValueClick directly competes only with Marchex (MCHX) for placing web advertisements on affiliate networks. However, large Web portals such as Google (GOOG), Yahoo!

		<description><![CDATA[Headquartered in Westlake Village, California, ValueClick Inc. (VCLK) is a diversified provider of Internet advertising solutions and online marketing services for online advertisers and website publishers. ValueClick is one of the largest online display advertising network operators in the industry. We believe the rebound in the company’s Comparison Shopping and Search segment and positive display ad trends in the U.S. will drive growth in the near-term. The company’s second quarter earnings were above expectations, demonstrating its focus on driving bottom-line growth. However revenue was down year over year in the most recent quarter, impacted negatively by weakness in the lead generation business, which pulled down the Media segment’s revenue significantly.
