DISQUS

I went to the four sites you mentioned above but don't see any indication they market third party newsletters.

Forbes Newsletters
InvestorPlace
Taipan Publishing Group
Agora Financial

Last October, before the MSFT-Facebook deal was announced, I analyzed the deal based on the $10 billion valuation that was being rumored in the media. The growth rates necessary to justify $10 billion were insane. Here they are:

Growth Rates

Years 1-5 of 40%
Years 6-10 of 25%
Years 11-15 of 15%

This assumed that the revenue and profit numbers circulating in the media were correct:

"revenues of $150 million, and profit of $30 million in 2007."

Since FB was private, these numbers could not be verified.

The valuation implied based on a $10 billion valuation and the revenue/profit numbers above were:

Multiple of 67 times sales and 333 times earnings. This assumes that the $30 million earnings are actual “earnings” and not “adjusted” or “non-cash” earnings.

The number of users don't matter if you can't monetize them.

I posted the picture. It turns out when I called them it was more of a marketing trick - tthey were offering a Mother-Daughter special and were calling it two houses.

Is there an ETF that covers Ethanol stocks only? I know about the WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio (PBW) but that one is too diversified for me.
