NOOF: What's the inside track? Gonzo? Anybody?

[EmporerEJ]

OK boys and Girls....why did NOOF take a great big shit at the end of August, dribble on down, and is now trading close to it's 52 week low? Beyond the piss poor earnings statement?

I know somebody out there knows what's going on. Spill it.

Baby needs a new pair of shoes!

Andrew Conru says he wants to retire when hes 40 which is Feb 2008.

[RawAlex]

A drop in revenue from pay-per-view movies cut into New Frontier Media Inc.'s profits in its second quarter.

The Boulder company (NASDAQ: NOOF) closed the second quarter of its fiscal year on Sept. 30. New Frontier Media produces and distributes adult movies.

The company's largest revenue source -- from pay-per-view entertainment -- declined by 33 percent, to $5 million, from last year. New Frontier said a renegotiated agreement with a "key" customer in October 2006 means the company is getting less money from "our historical revenue split."

New Frontier Media did not identify the customer.

The 33 percent drop in pay-per-view revenue pushed the company's total revenue down to $12.4 million from $16.2 million a year earlier. For the first six months of the fiscal year, revenue dropped to $25.3 million from $32.4 million a year earlier.

New Frontier Media said profits fell to $2.1 million in the second quarter from $3.6 million a year earlier. For the first half of the fiscal year, profits declined to $3.6 million from $7.2 million a year earlier.

------

Revenue took a shitkicking, and as a result profits dropped in half. It would appear that deal that they redid the revenue split on apparently significantly impacted revenue.

[Hell Puppy]

NOOF has been pretty quiet for a long time. Only real noise they've made this year is a deal to do Penthouse TV. Gee...seems a lot of activity for Penthouse this year despite rumors of being broke a couple of years ago...hmmm.... Some angels there perhaps?

Just evaluating NOOF as I would any other stock, it looks undervalued, and looks to be a good buy at $5 or less.

In this sector though, I like Playboy better, it's a good buy anytime it dips below $10. Much stronger brand name, and they've been actively at least attempting to grow in the new media segment. Easy to sit back and criticize their moves, but being a public company makes anything they do a slippery slope.

[EmporerEJ]

Thanks guys....good points....

Looking at its chart, I see it shit-cans every few years in Nov-Dec. It's doing it again. If it follows this pattern, it should hit $1-1.50 before rolling back up to a respectable 8-10 dollars.

And if Gonzo's on the nose, maybe that's exactly what's happening here.

I'm just wondering.....looks like a fairly safe buy unless it goes to crap in February on exit?

You're thinking the 4 year resistance level? The only thing that worries me is it's dipped below that for the first time in that period. I was hoping there was a specific, temporal event, that caused it.

I see what you mean about Playboy. Near the bottom at a fairly predictable roll. But do you like it better because it's arguably a more stable and well known company? Or something else?

For my investment dollar, it would seem I have more profit potential with NOOF?

Not sure about that, but there has been an extraordinary amount of traffic of Lincoln town cars going in and out of their offices recently. Perhaps some VIPs are visiting?

[Sexyteaser]

I heard that the downturn has to do with contracts lost in media (TV) and hotel room broadcast deals - someone trying to strong arm them into more profit sharing...but I can't confirm so please don't sue me as I have enough going on right now.

where you familiar with all 8 of them? :scratchin

[EmporerEJ]

where you familiar with all 8 of them? :scratchin

I'm familiar with all but two:
MLDS
and while I know who scores is, I didn't know they were trading.
at .007. I don't see that it's very serious at this point.
Looks like the money boys sold their chunks back on May 3, 1999. After that, it just slowly died.


The one I think is funny is
IBDI. First off, the symbol changed to IBDIE
Now THERE is a good investment, right? Let's see....currently .002.
Yep! VASTLY overvalued.
I'll betcha there are a few people here that would like to see them slide under a bus and die, eh?
:-)
How many times, is this same group of people gonna rip off the industry before people stop falling for their shit?


But if your posting them as an FYI, then good deal.
Just goes to show, there are too damn few companies in our field that are public. I'm firmly convinced that if we had more companies listed, we'd get more "legitimacy."

Not quite so fast to have the feds swoop in on them if the boys on wall street are investing in them. Can't take grandma and grandpa's mutual fund money, now can we? That's not good at the polls. (or should I say GOOD at the POLES :-)

Here's another one to add to your list...in a round 'about way:
WDDD- Worlds. It's the tech behind red light center, the adult version of worlds, an early second life type thing.

Worlds dropped to a less than penny stock for a while, got delisted from the big board but is now a respectable 22 cents a share.
(I think because of the popularity of red light world, utherverse.com)
I bought into that one early, and have a decent sized chunk.
I'm very bullish on VR, for obvious reasons.

I'd like to go public, to raise serious capital, but it's just not gonna happen.
The things we could do!

And that's the problem. It's just so nearly impossible to do without spending huge amounts of money, which, if you had, you might not need to go public in the first place.

That's why I was hoping the adultvest thing would turn out to be real. I'm still holding out hope for something there, but my eyes are starting to glaze over.

It's the historical "the rich get richer, and the poor get porrer." In a nutshell.

[Rcourt64]

Ya wanna know where to invest? aside from the adult crap?
Natural resources of Brazil or Canada. ;)
Especially Brazil, if ya do a little looking around, you'll find it's a copy of Old America ,
it's a rebirth of the United States... "A lo Latino." :groucho:
In time other countries like Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Chili, and more, will slowly unite into the giant continent of Brazil. Mark My Words. :okthumb:

Timber forests, quartz, diamonds, chromium, iron ore, phosphates, petroleum, mica, graphite, titanium, copper, gold, oil, & porn.
Yup, allot of Latin Porn.:whistling

Sorry bout the old list above, I found it in an old portfolio of mine and I just CCP it to the board.

Naaaa.....

I'm afraid I'm a bit of an idealist. And a patriot.
I like to invest in American companies, in fields I want to be involved in. Not always the safest and best decision....but hey, I'm in the porn biz.

I can respect that, and understand your ideology= "Born American, Buy American, Die American." :)
Besides buying in fields that your not familiar or involved in can also be risque.
If I where full blooded gringo I would have the same idealism as yourself. But this country as changed so much and the "World Grouping" thing is beginning to rise, especially with the liberation of the Internet. Things are changing.
And with the devaluation of the dollar? Well, I believe this is a good thing to be honest.
It'll start bringing the middle class more work opportunities, and also offer the change for foreign countries to spend they're foreign dinero here.
G/F was in Buffalo last week, and it's MOBBED with Canadians spending they're money all over the place, and same here in Florida,
it's full of U.Ker's "Cha-Ching, Cha-ching" :okthumb:
This was the only reason why I comment about overseas investment. :)

Gotta tell you, from a business standpoint, the weak dollar helps us. It still costs me the same to make our product, as it's American Made, but lots of non-usa customers are suddenly finding it more affordable. And YES, I'm seeing a SHARP increase in Canadian orders.

Of course, cables, power supply, add on stuff, we buy elsewhere.

I could go down there today and run every proccess on the floor. (And do)

So, to revive an old thread, rather than make a new one-

Now, come last annual conference, in August, New Frontier Media announced the plans for a stock buy back program, since the stock is in the crapper.

Guess what...that's just what they are doing. As the stock drops, along with their earnings, they are buying back chunks of stock. They recently lost one of three channels on Direct TV, and earnings are down across the board on all departments.
(They also don't seem to want to talk about this)

The Direct to consumer division, which includes their website ten.com, has been losing money steadily for several years now.

Thoughts? Analysis?
Anyone want to discuss deeper?
