Hi KBlaubaer08,
hast du ne ahnung, wann diese besseren zeiten wieder anbrechen?
wenn ich den chart anschaue, wird´s mir echt schlecht. wahrscheinlich geht´s erst wieder rauf, wenn sich der gesamte markt stabilisiert, mal schaun, was greenspan heute macht??!!
ciao carlsson

Ventro Plans Ten B2B Sites By Year End

By Penelope Patsuris

NEW YORK. 5:30 PM EST-Does Ventro run the risk of turning itself into VerticalNet? That online marketplace was once widely praised as an innovator, but it is now derided for trying to launch too many markets too quickly.

Today, Ventro (nasdaq: VNTR), which builds and runs business-to-business exchanges, announced its fifth exchange in its two-and-a-half-year history. In an interview with Forbes.com, chief operating officer Robin Abrams has promised that the company will have a total of ten exchanges by year`s end.

The new electronic exchange, called Amphire, aims to help keep restaurants and cafeterias stocked up in commodities like lettuce and olive oil. While VerticalNet (nasdaq: VERT) launched with 55 different industry markets and is now struggling to get a critical mass of transactions, Ventro has a strong foundation to build upon. Its first market, Chemdex, was one of the earliest exchanges to be deemed a success.

Unlike VerticalNet, Ventro is being careful to expand into markets where it has some expertise. Three of the company`s markets, Chemdex, Promedix and Industria, serve markets related to life sciences and are already up and running. While Promedix serves the specialty health care supply market for items like prosthetic heart valves, Broadlane traffics in general hospital supplies more along the lines of bedpans. As far as Amphire goes, executives say food products require handling similar to that of the chemical products they already work with.

B2B markets are not just about creating efficiencies by streamlining the purchasing process, which is why it doesn`t make sense to do many at once. "VerticalNet took a buckshot approach, but these guys aren`t," says International Data Corp. Analyst Chris Silva.

No exchange can succeed at drawing customers without eliminating the most problematic aspects of a given industry`s transactions, and that takes specialized knowledge. Last year Ventro, which was then Chemdex, parlayed its particular expertise into an impressive $30.8 million in revenue, although it lost $48.6 million.

"Ventro`s partners in Amphire are impartial industry groups who really understand the particular problems in food service," says Silva. He thinks Ventro`s strategy will fly because these groups are coalitions of the distributors that already bring manufacturers and retailers together in the traditional industry. For Amphire, Ventro has also teamed up with Entagible.com, which makes specialty software for the online food service industry.

"Ventro is moving carefully," says Silva. "You`re not going to see them do 15 markets in three months." Let`s hope not.
