Currently I'm in the process of having one of my full estate sims that was very low in occupancy converted into 4 open spaces, because I seem to have better luck with them lately. I'm also expanding by 2 other sims that I am taking over for a good friend of mine. One is coming fully occupied. So this month I guess were just reorganizing and expanding a bit, trying to move past the blows LL has given the land business the past few months with pricing changes and mainland flooding. http://www.wselive.com/research/announcement_detail/3512 http://www.wselive.com/research/announcement_detail/3512 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 03:48:42 -0000 SNE: View Financial Report A financial report for SNE has been posted.

People asking me if I intend to stay or leave. Someone even offering me there real life phone number to call and discuss there 2850 shares. From things I have seen and heard from Luke but am not in a position to discuss openly, yes I am very confident that the WSE will be reopening and I have every intention of staying. Dividends during the closure have and will be used for growth and covering slow rental periods and unexpected expense like the recent mainland value crash. I have a lot of ups and downs dealing in a sl game as risky as land but I think I have showed staying power and the ability to adapt and get past the hard times. I think thats why many invested in me. They were confident I wasn't going anywhere and wasn't the type of person to buckle and close shop when things are down. The WSE gave me an opportunity that allowed for wonderful growth of my second life company. They also treat me well and let me run it the way I see fit. I have no intention of uprooting myself and my shareholders at the moment. I also have no interest in arguing with others about the way feel about<br/>the wse or what they feel I need to do. I'm doing what I feel is best<br/>for my company, my shareholders, and my investments. Anyone upset with my choices or the way I run my company are more than welcome to contact me and I will see what we can arrange to buy there shares back over time. This is after all a game and I don't want it causing anyone to much stress or worry. Theres enough of that in real life. I will reevaluate periodically in the future but at this time thats where I stand.<br/><br/>Sarah Nerd,<br/>CEO http://www.wselive.com/research/announcement_detail/3504 http://www.wselive.com/research/announcement_detail/3504 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 23:09:07 -0000 Jeb Gibb: Report on FVS Hello,<br/><br/>I would like to start off by saying that this is my first and official analyst report. I also like to let it be known that I have no vested interest in this company and anyone that is analyst should have no vested interest in a company when doing an analyst report as it would cloud the analyst judgment.<br/>I’m going to say that when a first viewed Fund Second Life (FSL) I automatically begin having thoughts on this particular company. Let’s first start talking about the company prospectus and the initial public offering. They start off by saying that they will investing financially healthy companies, with regular dividends that which communicate well and do what they promise to do. The things that totally baffled me was that they created 40,000 shares at 25L a share each why in the world would you do that when you could have easily offered 1,000,000 shares at a price of 1L each. That question I can answer with a sad frown on my face because they didn’t want to pay out at least weekly 10,000L in dividends because they would care to keep all the profits from the actual real owners of the company.<br/><br/>They promise a weekly dividend of 0.01L a share which would cost those 26,000L a year. Which when you ask me is not really a lot compared when you are investing 879,300L in World Stock Exchanges listed companies. I foremost would like to say that a monthly dividend of 0.04L a share is only 1600L a month when you add the weekly dividends up which in my opinion is shit money.<br/><br/>They need to revamp their strategy strategically and as well as their prospectus. They plan to keep 10% in reserves and hoping to earn 30,000L in interest payment well now LL has ban banks the only way they could possibly potentially earn any interest on their trading account is by having wics.<br/>They totally need a new consultant as the person they have now seems that he decided to up and create a consulting firm and there is some one else on the board of directors in whom I have talked with on several occasions knows nothing at all in regards to stocks or anything regarding a stock exchange. In conclusion of my report I put a strong sell and a rating of 1L a share. Get Out While You Can! http://www.wselive.com/analyst/report/62 http://www.wselive.com/analyst/report/62 Sat, 12 Jan 2008 02:59:17 -0000 Ivan Halfpint: Report on RMV DDE – Delicious Demar Enterprises<br/><br/>Rating: Buy<br/><br/>Price Target:<br/>Short Term L$3.35 Long Term L$3.70<br/><br/>Business Overview:<br/><br/>Delicious Demar Enterprises is a holding company for a number of commercial businesses, founded by Chairperson and CEO Delicious Demar. She has a history of success in Second Life, having turned an initial investment of 1,250,000L into cash and holdings worth over 4,000,000L in six months, in addition to intellectual property for designs and buildings which have created a steady but modest ongoing income in SL. Specifically, DDE includes the following: <br/><br/>DD Real Estate <br/>Land Sales Division: typically holds approximately 5 sims worth of mainland and 12 islands for rental and sales. By far the most successful division, DD Land Sales has overseen the successful purchase and sale of over 1,800,000 square meters of land in the last 6 months, at an average turnover rate of one week, and an average profit margin of 15%. <br/>Land Rental Division: specializing in parcels over 4,000 meters, the land rental division currently rents approximately 300,000 square meters or mainland and 8 islands, providing a steady income that covers all land tiers for DDE. <br/><br/>Delish Designs <br/>Delish Designs sells women's fashions, furniture, and sculptures on SL Exchange, and soon in the inworld store being built on Delicious Island. To date, all Delish Design clothing has received a perfect 5-star rating on all items listed on SLX, with several items listed in the top 100 at times over the last three months. This new division has a modest number of designs for sale, but will be the focus of the majority of expansion in the next two months. <br/><br/>DnA Modular Commercial PreFabs <br/>DnA Modular specializes in low-prim prefab commercial structures, with low prices and moderate sales.<br/><br/><br/>The numbers<br/><br/>I have always been big on solid fundamentals and DDE offers very strong results. Right now DDE is trading at a discount to NAV, before the market closed it was trading for L$2.91 a share while the book value on this stock is 3.69 a share. <br/><br/>Last monthly report DDE earned L$0.026 a share. We have to remember that this figure was after some extraordinary one time charges tied to the collapse of KJL. It is in reality a great accomplishment that DDE was still able to record a profit. Revenue has reached almost 2.3 million Lindens per month which makes it one of the juggernauts leading the WSE. <br/><br/>DD is projecting record Earnings for the month of January and I have no reason to doubt this. DDE pays a steady dividend of L$.02 per week which is a testament to DD’s solid management style which finds a nice balance between growth and dividend income. <br/><br/>On the financial numbers alone we find Value in this company but there is a lot more to DDE then just numbers.<br/><br/>Strengths:<br/><br/>As I mentioned earlier the financials are very solid and in my opinion this can be attributed to superb management. The most impressive financial achievement has been the phenomenal month over month revenue growth. From the August to December revenue has grown from roughly 1 million Lindens per month to almost 2.3 million Lindens per month. This business just keeps growing and creating greater value for shareholder month after month.<br/><br/>Professional, transparent, and dedicated are just a few characteristics to describe DD and her relationship with shareholders. Too often on the WSE many CEO’s are only around to make a few bucks for themselves and don’t do right by heir shareholders – this is not the case with DD and her track record proves it. <br/><br/>One of the best examples of DD protecting shareholders investment was when she converted DSE to DDE shares and canceled her own stake in DSE. Back in early December I met with DD to discuss DSE and was struck by her concern for her investors and making sure she did the right thing. We both agreed that rolling DSE into DDE would be the best thing for shareholders and less then 10 days later the transaction was announced followed by a seamless transition.<br/><br/>Reputation means a lot in SL and this company has a reputation for upholding their commitments. People feel comfortable dealing with DD and she is respected as one of the top CEO’s if not the top on any of the markets. This is a positive when dealing in the land business and will help significantly in keeping DSE moving along as a great company.<br/><br/>Challenges:<br/><br/>One risk to future growth is simply time – DDE has grown to the point where it is huge operation that requires a great deal of time to manage. DD has issued guidance that growth will be significantly slower in 2008 – although we have to point out even with no growth in 2008 DDE is still trading at a discount and a good purchase.<br/><br/>Investor confidence in the WSE may place short term negative pressure on share prices and trading volumes. Despite having some of the strongest companies in SL listed on the exchange the WSE has been dealing with many of the challenges working within an emerging economy such as fraud and security. Also the unannounced shutdown of the WSE for ‘up to 30 days’ has had a negative impact in many sections of the investment community.<br/><br/>General SL business risk – as we all know the economy of SL can be significantly altered at any time by the good folks at Linden Labs this poses a potential negative effect to DDE (and any other business in SL).<br/><br/><br/>Overview:<br/><br/>I feel that this is a solid company and a solid buy at these levels. In fact at L$2.90 a share it is hard to see any real downside. I am forecasting that we will see many of the same positive aspects in 2008 that we have seen in 2007 – steady management – steady dividends – steady financial results. When the markets re-open we are recommending pick some of these up at under L$3.00 while you can.<br/><br/>Disclosure:<br/><br/>I am the chairman of Halfpint Consulting – a leading provider of investor relations and business consultation services in SL. Also I serve on the board of directors for Fund Second Life and play an active role in managing the fund. I have no personal position in DDE, as far as I know my clients hold no position and currently FSL holds no position. http://www.wselive.com/analyst/report/59 http://www.wselive.com/analyst/report/59 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 22:21:11 -0000 Joelstanton Cazenove: Report on FAG SUMMARY<br/><br/>Fashion And Gadgets elicits strong feelings from many traders in the WSE right now. For some time, many have been negative about the departure of Mart Lupino as CEO, as well as the company's mission statement to grow slowly and steadily vs. the more optimistic growth trajectories forecast by others, such as the big financial stocks.<br/><br/>Financial stocks however carry with them a risk premium that may be unjustified right now, as investors cash-out of standard interest rate deposit holdings for the Christmas season, and look for higher returns in the stock market going into January. Conversely, Fashion and Gadgets should benefit from strong sales as second life players cash in money received over the Christmas period and spend online in consumer items.<br/><br/><br/>SPECIFICS<br/><br/>The following justifies the L$15 price target for Fashion and Gadgets.<br/><br/>1. Increased Christmas Sales: It cannot be understated to what degree the company may benefit from increased spending online in consumer items. Fashion and Gadgets is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the anticipated uplift, which should be felt in a rising stock price through the month of January.<br/><br/>2. Double Dividend Payout: Dividend of L$0.08 will be paid in the week ending December 28, which should encourage value investors, as well as speculators looking to gain off short term price increase. The double premium for the dividend should encourage investors re: point 1.<br/><br/>3. Major shareholder consolidation: The author of this report has recently spoken with the major shareholders of Fashion and Gadgets re: their intentions for share holdings. Founder and CEO Lucky Raymaker is committed to a long term holding, and short term price swings in the stock are not material in terms of Raymaker's personal gains/losses. The largest shareholder, Mart Lupino, has for some time been selling heavily into the market. At the current time, Lupino has 20,000 shares priced at L$7.99 on limit order to sell. However, there are two important facts t bear in mind. The first is that Lupino is cashing in shares not because of his belief in the growth of Fashion and Gadgets stock, but because of a desire to run his own business, currently trading on the WSE. Lupino has raised recent selling order too, by 30%, from L$6.00 to the current price. He is also looking for a double-digit price target and it is anticipated that he may sell further shares around L$12.50, depending on market events.<br/><br/>Takeover Target/Share Buyout: One potentially positive aspect of Mart Lupino's significant holdings in Fashion and Gadgets, which amount to 45,000 shares, is that a buyer or consortium may acquire all shares for an uplift in price fairly soon, consolidating shares and keeping them off the market form a potential sale. It is this author's view, having spoken with various interested parties engaged in such talks, that such a buyer may be looking for a price target around L$15 minimum if he/she/they was/were to acquire Lupino's holdings right now.<br/><br/>Long-term growth: Fashion and Gadgets attractively markets itself as a company focused on long term growth. It is this author's view that that mission statement protects the company from significant volatility in January's market, as more players enter the WSE for short-term speculative purposes. Management's consolidated holdings, along with a desire to maintain and possibly increase dividend payouts, should provide a support level of L$6 for the stock, while creating significant uplift potential to target L$15. <br/><br/>Low Stock Traction: Beyond Lupino's L$7.99 limit order, there is almost no selling traction up to and over L$20. This stock may therefore rise significantly beyond target L$15 therefore, especially if planned share sale described above takes place. Price target is therefore conservative, and factors in no planned share sale. Investors should be careful of reading limit orders too closely, too, which have been rising significantly as shareholders are increasingly looking for momentum.<br/><br/>Share Split: This year, the stock has split 10-1. A share further split within the next 2 months, of an additional 10-1, or 5-1, is anticipated. This should contribute to further short term uplift as shares appear cheap to novice investors. http://www.wselive.com/analyst/report/58 http://www.wselive.com/analyst/report/58 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 22:23:06 -0000 Logansan Oh: Report on RMV Can I get a 'sigh of relief'?<br/><br/><br/><br/>Market swayed upwards today, influenced by the heavyweights. Volumes began to return on the mid-week hump (how long was SL down this time!?) and people started to hone-in on lingering bargains from the last few days. Today's market shakers were: (ALC23.1%), (AMI-7.1%), (AMS-20.0%), (HCL21.6%), (SIM-16.5%), (WTF-33.3%) and (CAR2.5%)<br/><br/> * (ALC) has been quiet for so long since it's less than expected growth and income, but rose from the dead today to post some amazing ranges with lows of $L0.66 and sitting vicariously on a high at the moment of $L0.80<br/> * (AMI) in the news again, this time with a great surge early today, only to land below yesterdays slump to close down at $L0.26<br/> * (AMS) still flipping around and getting someone some green, dropping most of yesterdays profits to sit restlessly on $L0.08<br/> * (HCL) subject of some traders today, seeing a good average and some healthy gains, up at todays high of $L1.18<br/> * (SIM) Shaun Altman (19.77%) struck again, dropping 130k of shares onto the floor (and some happy 'camper') as the stock suffered falling to $L0.66<br/> * (WTF) only moving due to hard-line spread trading, the 'fraud-fund' penny-stock fell to it's lowest levels on solid trades hitting $L0.02 today<br/> * (CAR) continued it's run of positives clocking a slight gain up at $L1.63<br/><br/>Recommendations - Well, people are finally coming to the party on our recent picks (is it insider trading if I have some too? Well, I haven't, like i said before "I own 10 of each stock for reporting purposes")<br/><br/> * (SIM) might be too late, but if major shareholders want out so quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if more of these bargains popped up. (Check out Logansan's report on SIM)<br/> * (AMS) (I don't need to give you the disclaimer again..) watch for movement south before jumping on for a 30-40% ride!<br/> * (LEM) I would watch for anyone profit taking from the last few days of advances.

QUIET, QUIET QUIET!<br/><br/>Middle of the week weekend again as volumes dropped below half a million trades. The market took a major downturn early in the day only to pull some of those losses back to finish on average down 7%. The penny stocks barely moved and the popular stocks from earlier this week were the only ones seeing any action: (AMI-20.0%), (AMS66.7%), (HOT5.0%), (LEM21.1%) , (RDX-33.3), (SLW-2.9%) and (CAR4.6%)<br/><br/> * Action Mortgage and Investment (AMI) dropped back to it's bottom line position today at $L0.28<br/> * A.M. Sportsbets (AMS) still not releasing any news and still tempting punters on a quick buck, picked up where yesterdays drop left off to recoup the losses and strike the $L0.10 mark<br/> * Kush Islands (HOT) hopping around all over the place today seeing a low of $L0.80 and attracted many of the Christmas shoppers as the price quickly recovered to hang around the $L1.60, closing the day on a very unstable $L2.10. I expect a few more moves before the day is up!<br/> * Lemur Invest (LEM) Sent out a positive sentiment today on the future and current standing of the House of Derivatives. The market was obviously interested and the underpriced stock picked up steam to end on $L1.55<br/> * Redux Technologies (RDX) struggling in many areas (including the numbers!) and jumping around with (HOT) today hitting a low of $L0.60 and highs of $L0.98 to close down at $L0.66<br/> * SLWizards (SLW) began the tough road of post-SPO with some improving volumes and a small loss to hit below the SPO price at $L0.99<br/> * MH Motors (CAR) still proving itself as the bucker-of-all-trends, saw very healthy trading today (over 50k traded) and managing to keep the movement facing north up to $L1.59<br/><br/>Recommendations - With the market dropping to this months lowest, there are bargains all around the place.<br/><br/> * (AMI) If you have been following the motion on this one, it's heading towards the trigger of BUY @ < $L0.26<br/> * (AMS) as I stated before, high risk due to no announcements, but if you had followed the waves, the profits would be yours<br/> * (LEM) Trading well below NTA, positive news from Casper and plenty of room for movement (upwardly), this is a BUY @ < $L1.50<br/> * (SKY) Watch for movement off the spread, move on the low with anything under $L1.40 a BUY<br/> * (LHH) This one needs a little more explanation, a derivative is an instrument (a stock we will say) that is based on (derived from) another fund/stock or similar (basically, it can be derived from anything with value, monetary or otherwise). This particular derivative is based on the price of (HCL). It has reached the top or barrier price now, so the guaranteed return on this is a minimum of $3.67 per share!! So having said that, it seems the spread is where to make both profit and find the bargain for this longer term return.
