Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRPN)

ValueStockPlayers

Groupon has been a disaster for two or three years now, but I still think there's a market out there for their deals, and I think they'll make money over the long haul. Might see $7 - $8 this year.

It's not gonna be THE high flyer as originally anticipated, but it is not worthless. There is a market for online discount shoppers, and Groupon, after all, is the market leader.

Still the best of the mouse traps. Strong support around 5.

Bottomed Out. Can only go up from here. Multiple hedge funds buying into this.

People are now hooked on Groupon and Living Social due to the economy. People have turned to them to save money and will spend even more with them when the economy turns.

I think their VIP program offers something the other guys don't which may make them a more attractive company for end users.

Back for another run.

Got crushed too hard - now is making up some pretty decent ground.

If the world market improves and a deal is reached in Europe Groupon will be one to profit. I like the idea of international exposure for the firm. I'm optimistic of the growth the firm can achieve in a recovering economy. Groupon's personality disorder, not knowing if it should focus on local deals, Groupon Goods or Groupon Getaways allows the firm to have a source of revenue regardless of economic conditions. For example, continued economic growth in the U.S. and in international markets has the potential to increase the amount of Groupon Getaways sold. In addition the prospect of 'local' Groupons for United States travelers to Europe is an intriguing business opportunity for the company. I understand the company will likely face continued decreases in margin as more Groupon Goods and Getaways are sold, but at this price I can deal with it. With no dividend and a relatively strong Euro, if the fiscal cliff does raise the tax rate for yields I could see Groupon becoming a more appeal e-commerce growth play. Additionally, if the United States dollar weakens against the euro and growth in Europe picks up the company is capable of record profits if not just from a currency play.

"For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we derived 53.4% of our revenue from our International segment, compared to 46.6% from our North America segment." - Groupon's 10-Q

Wouldn't be surprised if someone bought this

Risk and rewards ... hmm ... worth taking the risk for a small bet

Selling is way overdone. This is a profitable company that is going to surprise in Q4 and build on this strength.

Groupon is undervalued relative to its prospects. The Daily Deals space is going through a cataclysmic shakeout that will leave only the strongest hands still standing. We also believe that the company's new initiatives for providing the "operating system" for small businesses will be successful and expect the company to take significant market share with its credit card processing and scheduling applications.

Daily Deals was only the beginning. Local Merchant contacts will allow the company to pivot into tailored small business solutions that only LivingSocial can compete with. Difficulty in scaling will keep Google, etc at bay.

Has high rev per employee. Still making money and may be near the bottom

Crappy business model, but near its bottom. Short term pop, then dump.

Beatin up too much. Sell on pop.
