***FS*** I like Marchex because they are trading near the break-up value of their names alone. The other pieces of the co. represent even more opportunity . That said, I would still prefer to buy generic domain names themselves because I understand that animal better, and because they can’t be diluted. Buy a domain name with traffic and get “the name”.. buy a share in any public co and get the risk that management takes the business in a direction you don’t want to go. That said, If you’re going to be long a domain stock.. this is it. If they keep this tack they’ll probably get bought by VIACOM or FOX at some point.. that kind of buyer. Worst case, I could see them going private if a broader market correction affects their segment. This company has the ability to generate the one thing everyoner wants… ca$h. It doesn’t need the overhead it carries to generate that ca$h. Nice position to be in.
