      Der Rücksetzer war wohl überfällig... bin mir aber nicht sicher ob overstock auch nicht sehr stark nachlassen wird wenn die Nasdaq wieder mal schwächer wird.

      in der Finanz&wirtschaft war letzte woche grad ein artikel über overstock. sie erachten die aktie als kauf.
      sieht sehr gut aus. immer mehr user, das prinzip scheint efolgreich zu sein und die aktie attraktiv!
      leider fehlen mir die liquiden mittel, sonst würde ich hier einsteigen. nun bleibt mir zu hoffen, das overstock.com noch n`paar wochen wartet bis sie abgeht. ich schätze auf weihnachten hin, wird hier nochmals einiges gehen...

      40 US$ ist die erste Hürde, die genommen werden muss, dann werden wir kurzfristig schnell die 45 US$ sehen. Mit den Konsumdaten im Rücken und dem Weihnachtsgeschäft vor der Tür ist dann mittelfristig noch eine gaaaaanze Menge drin:D

      Zumindest wurde Overstock in der Wirtschaftspresse an verschiedenen Stellen als ernstzunehmender Wettbewerber von Ebay genannt, der die Zukunftsperspektive von Ebay deutlich eintrübt. Auch das Geschäftsmodell wurde lobend erwähnt. In dem fortgeschrittenen Markt dürfte Overstock als Nachzügler sehr interessant sein. Etwas PR durch Ebay kann da sicherlich nicht schaden...

      Overstock.com verschiebt Quartalsbericht

      Overstock.com hat heute bekannt gegeben, den Bericht für das zweite Quartal auf den 3. August zu verschieben. Zuvor hatte der Online-Händler für Restposten seine Zahlen am 27. Juli vorlegen wollen. Wie die Gesellschaft mitteilte, brauche man aber wegen der Installation neuer Technologien, der Verlegung des Firmensitzes und der Integration von Sky West mehr Zeit für die Erstellung des Zahlenwerks.An der Nasdaq verbilligen sich Overstock.com aktuell um 2,64 Prozent auf 40,12 Dollar.

      Overstock.com Inc.: buy (WR Hambrecht+Co)


      Die Analysten von WR Hambrecht&Co bewerten das Wertpapier von Overstock.com (Nachrichten) (ISIN US6903701018/ WKN 645086) nach wie vor mit "buy".

      Die Analysten von WR Hambrecht&Co würden sich von einer Promotion-Aktion des Unternehmens überrascht zeigen. So werde das Unternehmen bis zum 15. August lediglich eine Liefergebühr von 1,00 USD für seine Artikel erheben. Nach der Entscheidung der Unternehmensleitung, die Bekanntgabe der Finanzzahlen für das zweite Quartal vom 27. Juli auf den 3. August zu verschieben, sei diese Neuigkeiten eine weitere Schrecksekunde für Investoren. Nach den eher negativen Erfahrungen des Unternehmens mit niedrigeren Liefergebühren aus dem März dieses Jahres seien die Analysten von WR Hambrecht&Co dieses Mal sehr reserviert hinsichtlich ihrer Beurteilung. Vermutlich seien die Umsätze im Juli zurückgegangen.

      Derweil liege die EPS-Prognose der Analysten für das Finanzjahr 2005 vorerst unverändert bei -0,10 USD. Die EPS-Prognose für das Finanzjahr 2006 betrage 0,70 USD. Das Kursziel liege weiterhin bei 61,00 USD. Derzeit werde das Papier mit einem KGV von 57,2 auf Grundlage der EPS-Prognose für das Finanzjahr 2006 gehandelt.

      Daher halten die Wertpapierspezialisten von WR Hambrecht&Co weiterhin an ihrer Kaufempfehlung für die Aktie von Overstock.com fest.

      Overstock.com Posts Wider 2Q Loss

      Wednesday August 3, 1:31 pm ET
      Overstock.com Posts Wider Second-Quarter Loss As Operating Expenses Rise, Beats Estimates

      SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Online close-out retailer Overstock.com Inc. said Wednesday that it posted a wider second-quarter loss on sharply higher expenses, but still came in ahead of Wall Street estimates.

      However, shares of the retailer slipped as it warned of rising expenses, falling $1.80, or 4.1 percent, to $42.05 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq, after dropping as low as 10 percent in the morning session. Its stock has bounced around in a 52-week range of $27.65 to $77.18, and is down 39 percent so far this year.

      The company`s quarterly loss widened to $2.6 million, or 13 cents per share, from $2.4 million, or 13 cents per share, a year ago, and would have been much wider if not for $4.2 million in "other income," in the latest quarter that was absent a year ago.

      Revenue grew 72 percent to $150.6 million from $87.8 million, but total operating expenses more than doubled to $28.2 million from $12.3 million a year ago driven by technology expenses. Technology expenses more than tripled to $6.1 million from the year-ago quarter.

      Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial expected a wider loss per share of 22 cents on revenue of $147.1 million.

      The company said that gross margins improved to 14.7 percent from 11.3 percent a year ago.

      Overstock.com had delayed the release of its earnings by a week to complete installation of its Oracle and Teradata computer systems, as well as settle into its new corporate headquarters.

      However, the company warned that expenses will rise in future quarters due to the new systems, which are essential to the company`s growth. "The strategic implication here is that the operating and depreciation expenses associated with the systems we are adopting now are not expenses from which we will be able to back away," said Patrick Byrne, chief executive, in a statement.

      During the quarter, the retailer also said it would acquire privately held Ski West Inc. in a $25 million deal that will expand its business into Internet travel services.

      Heute Ausbruch in USA. Hat wohl mit der Klage seitens Overstock gegen Aktienanalysten zu tun, die mit Hedgefonds verbandelt sind und in den letzten Monaten übertriebene Negativstudien veröffentlicht hatten, um den Kurs von Overstock zu drücken. Insgesamt sind fast 7 Mio. Aktien short. Das sollte ja eigentlich ein Zeichen sein die Aktie nicht anzurühren. Interessant ist aber der letzte Conference Call des CEOs Patrick Byrnes. Da seine Familie und Freunde, sowie institutionelle Anleger, die ihm bekannt sind, fast 90% der Aktien besitzen und damit in festen Händen sind, gibt es nur einige Hunderttausend im tatsächlichen Freefloat. Zu Recht weist er deshalb auf das Missverhältnis zwischen Shortpositionen und Freefloat hin. Die Short-Blase scheint nun zu platzen, was für den Kurs bedeutet, dass er nur steigen kann. Man stelle sich vor 7Mio Aktien müssen mittelfristig gekauft werden, wenn nur einige Hunderttausend zur Verfügung stehen. In der Aktie steckt Zündstoff. Unabhängig davon, dass das gesamte Wachstum sich auch gut nachvollziehen lässt. Ziel sind 2 bis 3 Mrd. USD Umsatz pro Jahr (Marktkapitalisierung momentan 770 Mio. Euro).

      Overstock.com Reports Third Quarter 2005 Financial Results

      SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com(R) (Nasdaq: OSTK) today reported financial results for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2005, including:

      (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030520/LATU020LOGO-a )

      * Revenue growth: 64%
      * Gross Profit growth: 80%
      * Growth in G&A:
      * Technology (which includes depreciation): 257%
      * Other than technology: 96%
      * GAAP Operating loss: $11.2 million
      * GAAP Net loss: $14.2 million

      Dear Owners,

      Gomen nasai.

      Q3 was rough. My bad. I bit off more technology projects than my colleagues could chew. The last bite, an ERP implementation, was one bite too many, and we choked on it. This mistake resulted in two kinds of unfortunate results:

      1. Unexpected bad things happened. We tested our new ERP system as much as time allowed, but in mid-August I cut-over earlier than I should have. We anticipated that a small number of background processes would fail, but we had more trouble than expected. Rather than pass the problem to the customer in the form of bad service, we ate the cost by doing a great many things manually that would normally be done automatically. Of course, customer-facing issues (shipping products, processing credit cards, and handling returns) trumped internal issues. One internal issue was our inability to post new products: this gradually reduced the number of products on our site (especially best- sellers). This weakened sales (though we offset this for some time by running $1 shipping). When we were able to upload new products in mid-September, sales snapped back to previous levels.

      2. Expected good things did not happen. Some IT projects that were supposed to lift margins through improved efficiencies in logistics or customer service were either late or remain incomplete: some of these projects have since been delivered, some (e.g., a professional customer service application) have been scaled down and partially delivered, and some have been shifted to Q1. Other IT projects that were supposed to yield marketing gains went unfinished. One example: Project Propeller`s test results are extremely encouraging, but only rarely has it been turned on because the A/B test system required to fine tune the system has been low resolution and inconsistent. These projects did not get delivered because the work required to address the ERP problems eventually monopolized development resources and crowded out all other progress (until quite recently).

      While I will give more detail on our call, the story behind our results is this: I put off doing things I wanted to do to pursue things that we had to do to prepare for the future; the implementations (and their expected benefits) came in late and rough; and stumbling on the last and most important one set us back a country mile.

      Humbly submitted,


      Patrick Byrne
      P.S. Some will criticize me for taking my eye off the ball to pursue a jihad, or will simply wish to discuss our lawsuit. I am comfortable addressing either point on the call. I suggest that any who wishes to raise these issues on the call should read the affidavits and complaint posted on our investor relations website, as background to meaningful discussion.

      die verlusterwartungen für das nächste jahr werden immer weiter nach oben reviediert.
      das letzte quartal hat auch negativ überascht.
      die letzten analystenbewertungen ebenfalls schlechter.

      also wer in diese aktie investiert, ist nicht mehr zu retten.
      es gibt im moment genug möglichkeiten geld zu machen, aber overstock ist mit sicherheit nichts.
      wenn sich der gesamtmarkt verschlechtert, ist ostk ein heißer kandidat zum shorten.

      also im moment hier eindeutig finger weg!!!

      Overstock Auctions said its servers were straining due to the 20 percent increase in traffic it experienced this weekend compared to the previous weekend. The company extended some auctions, and credited seller listing fees for others.

      Overstock`s announcement stated that its new blended Auctions and Shopping search design it had released last week resulted in more shoppers from Overstock.com to the auction platform than ever before, and many users experienced "O No" pages on Monday.

      This is the second time Overstock has reported performance issues this month. The company reported issues on November 11, and on the 17th Overstock said it had added new servers that were handling the increased volume of visitors and listings the site had been experiencing (http://auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y05/m11/i18/s02).

      In yesterday`s announcement, Overstock said those recent site improvements helped, but more changes were needed. "In order to combat these challenges, the development team moved the search and browse features to new more powerful servers that are designed to handle higher loads. We have also improved the underlying code that serves up department homepages, improving both performance and relevancy of the items displayed. The work that the engineering team did yesterday (as well as over the last few weeks) has made a vast improvement - in fact, the site is now responding faster and serving fewer O No pages than it has in months!"

      To compensate sellers for Monday`s difficulties faced by sellers due to the site issues, Overstock extended all auctions open on November 28th at 7pm MST 24 hours beyond their original end time, and for every auction that closed without a sale between 7am and 7pm MST on November 28th, it credited back to the seller listing fees as general credits.

      EBay traffic leads online shopping sites

      Tue Nov 29, 2005 10:24 PM ET

      NEW YORK (Reuters) - Online auction site eBay Inc. had double the traffic of Amazon.com Inc., its closest competitor among U.S. Web retail sites, at the start of the holiday online shopping season, according to data released on Tuesday.

      Nielsen//NetRatings, which tracks traffic to more than 100 retail Web sites, said eBay had 11.7 million unique visitors and Amazon 5.6 million on "Cyber Monday," when Internet shopping gets a boost as Americans return to work in force after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and "Black Friday," the traditional start to the shopping season in stores.

      Wal-Mart Stores Inc. was third with 3.1 million, Target Inc. fourth with 2.2 million, Overstock.com Inc. fifth at 1.93 million and Dell Inc. sixth with 1.88 million.

      Overstock.com President, Patrick Byrne, Issues Statement Regarding NASAA Public Forum on Naked Short Selling

      SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) president, Patrick Byrne, issued the following statement today at the North American Securities Administrators Association`s public forum on naked short selling:

      "I commend NASAA for holding this hearing. Naked short selling is a growing problem within the securities markets. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) admits that `failures to deliver` are as high as $6 billion per day. This is an incredible number.

      Continued abusive short-selling practices pose strong potential for a systemic Wall Street meltdown that will undermine our capital system and our economic strength. The prosecution of Enron executives will begin in January 2006. On the heels of this tragedy, we are persuaded that Main Street shareholders, through their retirement and other accounts, again may be at risk because of the manipulation of the markets. Already these practices may have contributed in substantial part to the massive frauds featured in recent financial headlines involving such companies like Refco, Inc.

      Naked short selling consists of persons selling (or colluding with others to sell) massive quantities of stock they neither own nor have arranged to borrow. They do so with the intent to manipulate downward the stock price of targeted companies in order to profit by a repurchase of the stock following the downturn, making tens (or hundreds) of millions of dollars engaging in this illegal conduct. Abusive short-sellers frequently never deliver the stocks they are selling, but rather postpone trade closures indefinitely.

      The SEC`s Regulation SHO, intended to redress these abuses, has been largely ineffective in curbing the excesses of naked short sellers and, in fact, may have actually encouraged the practice by:

      * "grandfathering" abusive conduct of the past;
      * establishing a list of companies for which brokerage firms have failed
      to deliver a substantial number of shares to close short-selling
      trades, which essentially is a "bill board" for short-sellers to
      further target these companies for abuse;
      * extending by ten days the time for delivery of shares for companies
      listed on the Regulation SHO threshold list; and
      * incorporating vague and non-binding provisions for short selling firms
      to locate shares to borrow.

      This conduct is a serious disease in our capital markets and calls for immediate corrective action.

      NASAA`s public forum today is another step towards bringing basic transparency and profile to this issue and Congress should seriously consider hearings and legislation to remedy the obvious shortcomings of Regulation SHO."

      CirTran`s Iehab Hawatmeh Commends and Joins Blasting of `Naked Shorting` by Overstock.com President


      SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2005--Iehab J. Hawatmeh, founder and president of CirTran Corp. (OTCBB: CIRT), an international full-service contract manufacturer of IT, consumer and consumer electronics products, today commended and joined with the president of Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK) in his public condemnation of "naked shorting."

      "I am delighted to stand shoulder-to-shoulder here in Salt Lake or any place else with Overstock.comPresident Patrick Byrne in this very important matter," Hawatmeh said, commenting on Byrne`s statement yesterday at a public forum on "naked short selling" conducted by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA).

      In his statement, Byrne called naked short selling "a growing problem within the securities markets. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. admits that `failures to deliver` are as high as $6 billion per day. This is an incredible number," Byrne said.

      `As Mad as Hell ...`

      Hawatmeh concurred and underscored Byrne`s anger and frustration with the practice.

      "In 1976, the late Peter Finch, as anchorman Howard Beale, won an Academy Award for his performance in `Network` in which he made his famous `I`m as mad as hell and I`m not going to take it any more` speech," Hawatmeh said.

      "I`d like to think that Mr. Byrne and I are 21st century versions of Howard Beale, and we too are `as mad as hell` ... about naked short selling," Hawatmeh said. "It isn`t fair, it isn`t legal, and it`s hurting honest, hard-working investors at the expense of scoundrels."

      An Illegal Practice

      Naked short selling, or naked shorting, is an illegal practice of selling shares that have not been affirmatively determined to exist. Ordinarily, traders must borrow a stock, or determine that it can be borrowed, before they sell it short. However, some investors and hedge funds have taken advantage of loopholes in the rules to sell shares without making any attempt to borrow the stock.

      The Securities and Exchange Commission addressed this practice two years ago, on Oct. 29, 2003, by implementing a new rule to ban naked shorting in order to protect thinly traded stocks that are vulnerable to aggressive short selling which would cause the stock price to fall.

      About CirTran Corp.

      Founded in 1993, CirTran Corp. (www.CirTran.com) is a premier international full-service contract manufacturer. Headquartered in Salt Lake City, its ISO 9001:2000-certified, non-captive 40,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is the largest in the Intermountain region, providing "just-in-time" inventory management techniques designed to minimize an OEM`s investment in component inventories, personnel and related facilities, while reducing costs and ensuring speedy time-to-market. In 1998, CirTran acquired Racore Technology (www.racore.com), founded in 1983 and reorganized as Racore Technology Corp. in 1997. In 2004, it formed CirTran-Asia as a high-volume manufacturing arm and wholly owned subsidiary with its principal office in ShenZhen, China. CirTran-Asia operates in three primary business segments: high-volume electronics, fitness equipment and household products manufacturing, focusing on the multi-billion dollar direct response industry.

      Chrysler Crossfires Being Dumped at Overstock.com

      Date posted: 12-22-2005

      DETROIT—Chrysler has cut a giveaway deal with Overstock.com to cope with mounting inventories of unsold Crossfire coupes and roadsters.

      The "marketing initiative," as Detroit likes to tag these deals, runs through January 3 and involves a quick trip to the Web site, which says it attracts 1.2 million Internet shoppers daily.

      Shoppers enter their e-mail address in an on-line form, and Overstock.com sends a printable "reservation certificate" worth up to $8,900 off the price of a 2006 Crossfire. The customer can print the certificate and redeem it at any participating Chrysler dealer—and most of them have plenty of Crossfires left in stock.

      The automaker had more than six months` worth of unsold Crossfires at the end of November.

      What this means to you: It`s not the world`s prettiest car, but you can get a massive discount on the Chrysler Crossfire with just a simple mouse click.

      Overstock says it`s going to be close to break-even

      By Suzy Assaad and Jeannine DeFoe
      Bloomberg News

      Overstock.com Inc. President Patrick Byrne, who has warred with short sellers this year, says holiday sales at the Internet retailer thus far have been a ``tad disappointing.
      ``We`re used to growing three or four times as fast as the industry but for this quarter we`ll probably only have grown twice as fast,`` Byrne said. ``Twice as fast is good enough for some people, but I`m a little disappointed.``
      The Salt Lake City-based company missed its profitability target by a percent or two, he said in an interview published Friday.
      Overstock shares closed Friday at $33.64, down $1.19 or 3.4 percent.
      In comments that ranged from the demographics of Internet shoppers to sarcastic predictions that enemies would frame him with drugs, Byrne said the company would be close to breaking even this year. Overstock has posted an annual loss every year since going public in 2002.
      ``It`s going to be close one,`` said Byrne. ``We won`t lose very much money if we lose money. If we make money, it won`t be very much. It`s within a percentage of break-even.``
      The company is expected to earn 14 cents a share for the quarter, according to the average estimate of 12 analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial and lose 30 cents for the year, according to the average estimate of five analysts.
      Byrne said holiday retail sales in the U.S. rose about 30 percent, higher than forecasts. U.S. retail sales online are expected to rise 24 percent in November and December this year, according to ComScore Networks Inc.
      Byrne also criticized short sellers of the company`s stock, including Mark Cuban, who Byrne said may ``come after`` him.
      Cuban, who became a billionaire in 1999 after Yahoo! Inc. bought the company he co-founded, said in October he is shorting, or betting against, Overstock.com.
      Byrne previously characterized efforts to push his shares down as being orchestrated by a ``Sith Lord,`` a reference to the arch villains in the Star Wars films.
      ``Cuban`s friends, what they`re going to do is come after me in January,`` said Byrne. ``They`re trying to get the SEC to launch an investigation. I think they`re going to try to get the DOJ to investigate me,`` Byrne said, referring to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice.
      ``Some of the people I`m up against are mobsters,`` he said. ``I fully expect you`re going to hear about the police stopping me with a pound of heroin, or a dead body, or something in my trunk.``
      Cuban did not respond to an request for comment.
      Overstock.com in August filed a lawsuit against Gradient Analytics Inc., hedge fund Rocker Partners and owner David Rocker, alleging the two companies conspired to issue research aimed at pushing down Overstock.com`s shares.

      Overstock.com Inc.: hold (WR Hambrecht+Co)

      Die Börsenspezialisten von WR Hambrecht&Co stufen die Aktie des US-amerikanischen Online-Händlers Overstock.com (Nachrichten) (ISIN US6903701018/ WKN 645086) weiterhin mit "hold" ein.

      CEO Patrick Byrne habe sich in einem Fernsehinterview "ein wenig enttäuscht" über den Geschäftsverlauf des vierten Quartals gezeigt, voraussichtlich werde das Unternehmen einen Verlust verbuchen müssen. Die Aktienexperten würden daher ihre EPS-Prognose für das vierte Quartal von 0,06 USD auf -0,05 USD senken, die Konsensschätzung habe bisher bei 0,15 USD gelegen. Für das Gesamtjahr würden die Aktienexperten ihre EPS-Prognose entsprechend von -1,03 USD auf -1,14 USD senken. Ebenso habe man die EPS-Schätzung für 2006 von -0,55 USD auf -0,95 USD reduziert.

      Man gehe davon aus, dass das Unternehmen im ersten Quartal 2006 mit überschüssigen Lagerbeständen zu kämpfen habe. Ein geringerer Absatz als erwartet sei hierfür verantwortlich. Zudem dürfte die Bruttomarge aufgrund diverser Promotion-Aktivitäten im ersten Quartal unter Druck geraten. Nach Ansicht der Börsenspezialisten werde das EPS im Jahr 2007 mit 0,65 USD im positiven Bereich liegen. Das Kursziel habe man von 37 USD auf 28 USD herabgesetzt.

      Auf dieser Grundlage raten die Aktienexperten von WR Hambrecht&Co weiterhin dazu, die Aktie von Overstock.com zu halten.

      Online Auctions 2005: Google and eBay Compete for Headlines

      January 02, 2006

      ...
      Overstock takes a walk on the weird side
      October marked Overstock Auctions 1-year anniversary. The site benefited from disgruntled eBayers particularly when eBay increased fees in February, but sellers waited for features. Overstock drove traffic to its auction platform when it rolled out the blended Auctions and Shopping search in November. But the resulting 20 percent increase in traffic put a strain on its servers, and it did away with phone support for Auctions. Overstock.com caused a stir when its President Patrick Byrne publicly discussed Sith Lords and mobsters when making accusations of hanky-panky by some in the financial community.

      SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Overstock.com Inc. said late Tuesday it has responded to motions filed by a stock research firm and a hedge fund seeking to dismiss a lawsuit the online retailer filed against them for allegedly conspiring to profit from libelous reports about the company.
      Overstock.com said it filed motions seeking to deny moves by research firm Gradient Analytics and the hedge fund, Rocker Partners, to dismiss a suit Overstock.com filed against them last August. Overstock.com has charged that Rocker Partners paid for and edited false and libelous reports from Gradient, so the hedge fund could profit from an expected drop in Overstock.com`s stock price.

      Last November, Rocker Partners and Gradient filed motions in California court under the state`s Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation statute, also known as anti-SLAPP, to strike Overstock.com`s suit.

      In response, Overstock.com said it did not believe California lawmakers "had in mind protecting libelous speech" in passing the anti-SLAPP statute.

      Gradient, formerly known as Camelback Analytics, said it believed Overstock.com`s complaint would be dismissed. "Gradient will not be intimidated by those who don`t like our opinions and who want to strangle any and all negative comments with contentious litigation and erroneous allegations delivered through the media," it said in a statement issued Wednesday.

      Rocker Partners is headed by David Rocker, who is known as a leading short-seller, or someone who hopes to profit from a decline in stock prices by betting that they will fall. He did not immediately respond to a voicemail seeking comment.

      Overstock.com shares shed 60 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $26.85 on the Nasdaq. The stock hit a 52-week low of $25.75 on Tuesday.

      Overstock.com improves returns for better loyalty

      The internet retailer Overstock.com has adopted the Newgistics SmartLabel and ReturnCart applications to manage its returns process. Apart from giving customers an easier returns process, the system provides multi-carrier functionality, dynamic tracking and pre-sorting of returned goods, which helps increase visibility and improve inventory management. The SmartLabel solution allows consumers to print out a pre-addressed, pre-paid, bar-coded returns label for their package, which can then be dropped off anywhere in the US Postal Service system. The ReturnCart application enables Overstock.com to manage the returns process online, including the use of multiple carriers. Customer service staff can also use the system to generate an e-mail or send a printed postcard with a SmartLabel if customers contact the call centre instead of printing the label themselves online.

      Overstock.com Reports Q4 Revenue and Full Year 2005 Financial Results

      SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com(R) (Nasdaq: OSTK) today reported fourth quarter revenue and financial results for the full year 2005.

      Summary of results:

      * Total Q4 revenue: $318 million, up 44% versus 2004
      * Total 2005 revenue: $804 million, up 63% versus 2004
      * 2005 Gross profits: $121 million, up 83% versus 2004
      * 2005 Gross margins: 15.0%, up from 13.3% in 2004
      * 2005 Net loss: $(25) million or $(1.29) earnings per share
      * 2005 Cash flow from operations: $(6) million outflow

      Dear Owners,

      At the close of Q3, I mentioned the issue of capitalizing inbound freight in inventory, saying that our then-current system made Q2 and Q3 margins look worse than they "really" were (as we built inventory), but would make Q4 better than it "really" would be (assuming we flushed out inventory). With our new systems in place, starting in Q4 we now have the ability to account for inbound freight by capitalizing it and expensing it as the related inventory sells. However, this creates a knotty problem regarding 2005 (one quarter of 2005 has a $2 million benefit as a result: to which of the other 2005 quarters does it belong?) that we are still working through with our auditors. However, we can provide top-line numbers for Q4 at the moment and I will discuss full year 2005 results here and on the conference call.

      I said that my goals in 2005 were to grow revenue 60-100% and break even +/- 1%. We achieved the first, but I failed on the second. 2005 started fairly well, but ended weakly. I take responsibility, of course, and will give more color on this in my conference call, but the rough sketch is as follows: we started with a good set of priorities for the year, and with an aggressive internal plan to cross the $1 billion mark at a profit. However, we discovered that some of our systems were more shopworn than we had anticipated, and went on a crash program to replace them. Unfortunately, I underspec`ed them and underestimated the time it would take to complete them by a large factor. Meanwhile, the systems they were replacing were increasingly unstable, so that our ships were burned behind us and we had to march forward. As the execution of these projects faltered, we had to shift more and more resources from other groups to support them. This squeezed out projects that our business leaders needed to continue generating and servicing hyper-growth. The result was not only that good things did not happen (lift and functionality within the site), but that a bad thing also happened (while our systems survived, it was with great effort from the entire company). The upshot is that we are slowing down development of any new projects, and will just focus on our basic shopping experience (namely, our outlet shopping and BMVG tabs) until things are right.

      I am terribly sorry, and disappointed -- as are my colleagues. While we have staunched the bleeding, I anticipate it will take six to nine months to rehabilitate the patient and get him running again.

      During this time that we are hardening our new systems, we will reduce growth to industry rates. Our emphasis in 2006 will be on an improved customer experience -- even if at the expense of growth. Our technology department is under new leadership with a conservative 2006 plan in place. We will make limited investments in technology but at far lower levels than 2005, and focus on personalization, site design, and functionality. None of these are new projects, and each should help us improve our customers` shopping experience and our conversion.

      Conducting 2006 as a rebuilding year is also a financially conservative thing to do. I expect growth to be industry standard for at least two to three quarters: depreciation should more than cover actual capital expenditures, and our inventory, which we beefed up too much for Q4, is shrinking nicely: taken collectively, cash flows should be comfortable for the entire year.

      Last year I closed saying, "this was the first Q4 surge we handled without a mad scramble. We did not make enough money in Q4 to break even for 2004, but did make $2.5 million, generated a lot of cash, and are up on a plane from which I believe only our own inattention or mistakes will knock us for some time." In 2005, however, we handled Q4 only with the maddest of scrambles, lost money, and came off the plane due to my own mistakes. We need two to three quarters to recover. Expect slower growth from us in 2006, but also expect us to end 2006 as a stronger and more focused company.

      Respectfully submitted,

      Patrick M. Byrne

      Hi @ll
      wie bewertet Ihr denn die ganze Situation?
      Negativ PR ist ja nie gut.Aber wenn ich mir die Traffic Details an schaue,scheint sie die Leute nicht davon abzuhalten zumdindest sich auf der WebSite aufzuhalten:

      Früher oder später sollten sich daraus Gewinne realisierenlassen.Ich denke "langfristig" ist Overstock doch ein klarer Kauf.
      Oder sehr Ihr das anders?

      Wall Street web stocks - Sector stocks rise; Overstock, InfoSpace shares gain - UPDATE 1

      SAN FRANCISCO (AFX) -- Internet stocks traded mostly higher Monday as shares of Overstock.com Inc. (Nachrichten) and InfoSpace Inc. (Nachrichten) stood out with healthy gains.

      The Dow Jones Internet Index was up 0.3% to 91.91, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index rose 8.63 points to 2,270.67.

      Overstock.com shares spiked in midday trades and were last up 12% to $25.66. The company is slated to make a presentation Tuesday at the J.P. Morgan Global Internet Conference in New York.[

      InfoSpace shares rose 4% to $25.09 on the heels of a 3% gain Friday. Last week, InfoSpace Chief Executive Jim Voelker spoke with MarketWatch about the company`s mobile search strategy. See link to video interview.

      Other notable Internet companies with a presence at the J.P. Morgan conference include VeriSign Inc. , aQuantive Inc. , Expedia Inc. , Digital River Inc. , Akamai Technologies Inc. , CNet Networks Inc. and Priceline.com Inc. .

      Among the sector`s bellwethers, Google Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. shares rose modestly, while eBay Inc. and Yahoo Inc. shares were off fractionally.

      Deutsche Bank analyst Jeetil Patel wrote that he believes eBay`s stock will remain `choppy` through the summer months for a number of reasons, including tough listings comparisons and increasing competition from Google offerings.

      Other Net stocks on the move included ValueClick Inc. , which saw its shares rise 3.3%.

The company has been criticized for underperforming analyst expectations in 2005, and there has been a swirl of controversy surrounding Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock, and his legal battle over alleged front-running by certain hedge funds.

      My review of the financial statements and operating history of Overstock indicates that the negativity is overdone. This is a severely undervalued company.

      As I`ll explain below, my minimum prospective value for Overstock shares is $92 in 2010; it currently trades at about $23.

      Overstock`s business is not complicated -- it`s the online equivalent of an outlet mall. The excess inventory segment of the retail market is ideally suited for the Internet. Brand-name manufacturers can avoid the inefficiencies of supplying and staffing retail outlet stores by partnering with an online aggregator like Overstock.

      Also, excess inventory levels are notoriously irregular and difficult for manufacturers to manage. They have to deal with unpredictable change in both the nominal level and across product categories. Using a single distribution partner, like Overstock, requires no capital outlay by manufacturers and results in fast conversion of excess inventory to cash.

      Here`s the key analytical point for this particular model: The online space that Overstock competes in is a winner-take-all category. Like with eBay (EBAY:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer`s Take) in the online auction space, there`s a self-reinforcing dynamic at work here. Buyers naturally migrate to the inventory liquidation site that has the most product, and sellers want to sell on the site that has the most buyers. It`s a mistake to underestimate the importance of this dynamic -- or its potential long-term value.

      Financial Statements Paint the Picture
      The financial statements of Overstock tell an impressive story. Annual revenue has grown from $92 million in 2002 to $239 million in 2003, to $494 million in 2004, and to $804 million last year. Most remarkable is that this robust revenue growth -- soon to be over $1 billion per year -- has been accomplished using a minimal amount of capital.

      Despite having a comparable operating structure (e.g., gross margins) to Amazon (AMZN:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer`s Take), Overstock has used a tiny fraction of the capital that Amazon used, to build a comparable amount of business. During the past four years of rapid growth, operating losses have averaged about 3% of sales at Overstock. During the rapid growth phase at Amazon, operating losses averaged well over 20%.

      When Amazon was nearing $1 billion in sales a few years ago (as Overstock is today), it took on well over $1.4 billion in debt to fund its expansion. Overstock has built a comparable base of business, with a comparable operating structure, with long-term debt of only $75 million. Long after the controversy over the hedge fund lawsuit dies down, business students will be studying this story. They can call it "Building a Billion Dollar Business on a Shoestring."

      Critics of Overstock harp on the fact that the company is not making a profit. This criticism is misplaced. There`s more to business value than short-term earnings. Companies with low P/E ratios can be expensive, and companies with no earnings at all can be cheap.

      Consider Ford, which was being called "a steal" and "the ultimate no-brainer of an investment" in 2000 because it was selling at less than eight times earnings. Since that time, Ford shares have declined by 70%.

      Certainly, the value of Overstock will eventually turn on its ability to generate cash earnings. Although the earnings leverage in this model is considerable, the near-term imperative should be maintaining and building on its dominant market position in this winner-take-all category.

      Valuation of Overstock Shares
      Since Amazon came public in 1998, it has never traded below one times sales, with the exception of 2001, when it was hit by a wave of negativity. At the time, the company was losing 12% at the operating line and had disappointing sales growth. It briefly traded at $5.50 per share, or 0.75 times sales. Currently, Amazon trades at over $36 per share, or 1.8 times sales.

      Look for shares of Overstock to perform quite well over the next several years. While Amazon`s "trough" was at 0.75 times sales, Overstock`s recent low represents a much heavier discount, at less than 0.50 times sales. (Market cap of $440 million divided by $900 million in current year sales.) Using one times sales as a conservative metric, my calculations indicate that Overstock will be worth $92 per share by 2010.

      I wouldn`t be surprised if the long-term cash earnings power of the Overstock model eventually merits a 1.25 to 1.5 times sales valuation, which would still be a discount to Amazon`s 1.8 times sales valuation. This implies a 2010 value of $115 to $139 per share. It`s interesting to note that gross margins at Overstock are slightly better and expanding faster than at Amazon.

      As discussed above, Overstock is much more capital efficient than Amazon. That is reflected in Overstock`s balance sheet, which is in vastly better shape than the balance sheet of Amazon at a comparable point in its history. Also, growth in partner fulfillment (product shipped direct from manufacturer to customer), now at about 60% of revenue, gives Overstock both capital and margin advantages over the Amazon model.

      DJ Overstock.com To Offer `Netflix for Games` On Web Site

      By Lavonne Kuykendall
      Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

      CHICAGO (Dow Jones)--Online liquidator Overstock.com (OSTK) will soon begin offering a mail-in videogame rental service similar to the mail-in DVD rental service offered by Netflix (NFLX), the company`s president said Tuesday.

      "We have a whole section saying `coming soon`" on the Web site, President Patrick Byrne said at a JPMorgan-sponsored Internet conference in New York Tuesday. He said the Web site already sees good gaming traffic on its site. "Games have taken off for us," he said.

      He said the service could go up at no marginal cost to the retailer, and it would fill a niche because Netflix doesn`t currently offer games.

      He said in the past Overstock.com has sometimes put up new features on its site that end up not working out. He called the company`s venture into a "design your own jewelry" an example of that. "We pulled it down a few weeks ago," he said, though he said that in the future the company might try a "more professional version" of the service.

      The company`s stock has been on an upward swing recently. On Monday, the shares rose 11.8%, and surged again on Tuesday, closing up 11.55%, to $28.50.

      OSTK Reversal

      OSTK, an online retail company, may be finally reversing after dropping from $80 to $20 the past year.

      Yesterday, OSTK shot up more than 10%!

      The half year chart shows the turnaround and looks promising after for the short term. My predictions are indicated by the dotted lines on the annotated chart,

      The long term, on the other hand, looks even hotter: TheStreet.com estimates OSTK to be $92 by 2010!

      Breaking Down the Overstock Discount

      This column was originally published on RealMoney on March 20 at 11:02 a.m. EST. It`s being republished as a bonus for TheStreet.com readers.

      It doesn`t require a lot of effort to follow the crowd when investing in the stock market. You don`t have to think independently. You don`t have to ask a lot of questions. You don`t have to carefully consider and evaluate data.

      It`s particularly easy to follow the crowd when negativity is involved. The easy path is to accept negativity at face value. The difficult path is to sort through the criticism and compare it to relevant data in an effort to distinguish fact from fiction.

      As I said in my column on Overstock (OSTK:Nasdaq - news - research - Cramer`s Take) last week, despite an "avalanche of negativity," this is a severely undervalued stock. The criticism directed at Overstock revolves around three issues: earnings, liquidity and management.

      In this first installment of a two-part column, I begin a detailed look at these issues.

      `Overstock Is Losing Millions`
      My review of the Overstock operating model and competitive moat indicates that this oft-repeated criticism is misleading. Earnings are a minor variable in the value equation at this juncture in the company`s history. Market share is the critical variable. That`s because this company is on the cusp of capturing a winner-take-all retail category.

      The excess inventory category is similar to the online auction category. The No. 1 player in this category, once they become entrenched, is set up to dominate for a very long time. In online auctions, it`s eBay (EBAY:Nasdaq - news - research - Cramer`s Take). In excess inventory, it`s Overstock.

      Traditional bricks-and-mortar retailers engage in a competitive battle from town to town, from one community to the next. A traditional retailer like Borders (BGP:NYSE - news - research - Cramer`s Take) may grab a competitive advantage (e.g., the best location) in one town, while Barnes & Noble (BKS:NYSE - news - research - Cramer`s Take) may gain the upper hand in the next town.

      In the case of eBay and Overstock, though, there aren`t hundreds of competitive skirmishes spread across the country. There is only one battlefield, in just one town -- the online community. It`s sobering to consider the stakes in a winner-take-all online contest. You either win the No. 1 position early in the game, or you`re destined for oblivion.

      Consider some of the names that jostled for position in the early days in the excess inventory space. Some of these companies had access to much more capital than Overstock, but now they`re just "also rans": Ubid, eCost, Smartbargains, Buy.com, Mercata, Andy`s Garage and MobShop.

      Overstock`s market dominance is evidenced by its explosive growth in sales --- about a 10-fold increase in four years --- from $92 million in 2002 to about $900 million anticipated in 2006, based on conservative assumptions. Most impressive is that its "category capture" was accomplished using a tiny amount of capital.

      Any analyst that carefully studies the numbers has to cede this point.

      The numbers are jaw-dropping. Overstock has built a business with $900 million of sales (2006) while deploying just 7 cents of capital for each dollar of revenue. I can`t find another retailer that comes close to this metric. At a similar point in its history, Amazon (AMZN:Nasdaq - news - research - Cramer`s Take) needed 70 cents of capital for each dollar of revenue.

      Traditional retailers can`t come close to the 7-cent standard set by Overstock because physical stores require more capital. Still, it`s interesting to study their operating structures. For example, Starbucks (SBUX:Nasdaq - news - research - Cramer`s Take) deployed $1 of capital to generate $1 of revenue when it neared the $1 billion mark in sales, a level of sales that Overstock is close to now.

      Implicit in the criticism that "Overstock is losing millions" is the idea that a loss in accounting terms correlates to a loss (or a diminution of value) in economic terms. That is a false construct. Coincident with an accounting loss, it`s entirely possible to generate a huge gain in economic value (and vice versa).

      I`ll let some other analyst calculate the economic value of the No. 1 position in the online excess inventory category. It`s safe to say that it is considerable, and that the minimal accounting loss incurred to capture this category (an average 3% operating loss) translates into a superb return on investment. It compares favorably to Amazon`s average 20% operating losses at a similar point in its history.


      The Magic of Earnings Leverage
      Study the operating history of every great organic growth company and you`ll see a common thread that weaves through each model. Without exception, the maturation of each model unleashes enormous earnings leverage. The source of this earnings "magic" is simple: Sales grow faster than costs.
      For both magnitude and velocity of earnings change, the Overstock model is much more powerful than a traditional retail model. That power follows a predictable path. First, it is observable in the top line. A traditional retailer simply can`t muster a 10-fold gain in sales in four years, as Overstock has done. After sales, it is manifested in rapid gross margin expansion followed by operating margins and then the bottom line, or earnings.

      Overstock`s gross margin growth has been exceptional over the last couple of years, with the nominal level growing from 9% to over 15%. The gross margin growth compares favorably (it`s a bit better) to Amazon, a company with a remarkably similar operating structure. Note that certain fulfillment expenses are reported differently by Amazon, so an adjustment is needed before making a comparative analysis.

      Amazon is a couple of years ahead of Overstock in its model maturation process, and the earnings leverage power explained above already has dropped to Amazon`s operating line, with operating margins improving from negative 13%, to positive 7%, in a relatively short period of time.

      The Market Opportunity for Overstock Is Huge
      The addressable excess inventory market is over $60 billion. Most of this market is currently offline, with distribution via a highly fragmented, inefficient traditional retail network. Partnering with Overstock is an appealing alternative for suppliers because it requires no capital, solves the irregular inventory issue (discussed in last week`s column), and results in a fast conversion of excess inventory to cash.
      Over the next eight to 10 years, it`s reasonable to expect that Overstock will secure at least 10% of the addressable market. That translates into $6 billion in sales for Overstock, assuming a static total market.

      As I said in my first column, a 1 times sales valuation is conservative for this model, given the earnings leverage and capital efficiencies. As the Overstock model matures, valuation may move closer to 1.25 to 1.5 times sales. Amazon commands a 1.8 times sales valuation, a reasonable value given its still-to-be-unlocked earnings leverage and dominant market position. The current market value of Overstock is $527 million, or 0.58 times sales.

      Look for Part 2 of this column later this week. I`ll review the negativity surrounding Overstock on the issues of liquidity and management.

      Exploring Overstock's Discount

      This column was originally published on RealMoney on March 23 at 2:08 p.m. EST. It's being republished as a bonus for TheStreet.com readers.

      Negativity makes investors uncomfortable.

      A simple way to mitigate this discomfort is to avoid stocks that are enveloped by negativity. The problem with this is opportunity cost. You'll miss out on some extraordinary investment opportunities.

      The better way to mitigate negativity is to carefully parse and examine the criticism. That's what I've tried to do in this two-part column on the negativity directed at Overstock (OSTK:Nasdaq - news - research - Cramer's Take). Below, I address criticism involving the balance sheet and management.

      'Overstock Has a Liquidity Problem'
      My review of Overstock's operations indicates that it has ample liquidity. The company has cash and marketable securities of $112 million and credit lines of more than $50 million.
      The company should be cash-flow positive this year. Even if it's not, the notable gross-margin expansion in recent quarters makes the likelihood of anything beyond a minimal operating loss quite low. There would be a "liquidity problem" if sales decline in a material way, but there is no evidence to suggest that this is likely.

      The fact that liquidity is not currently an issue for Overstock doesn't stop critics from focusing on it. It's easy to couch data in a way that scares unsophisticated investors. For example, a recent column in the New York Post assailed Overstock's liquidity, saying that the company had a "paltry $11 million in net cash."

      That metric is accurate -- Overstock has $11 million in net cash, calculated as cash plus marketable securities minus accounts payable -- but that metric is not meaningful. If it is, some of the finest companies in America are in similar trouble.

      Wal-Mart (WMT:NYSE - news - research - Cramer's Take) had a net cash deficit at the end of January of over $14 billion. Dell (DELL:Nasdaq - news - research - Cramer's Take) had net cash of negative $782 million as of the end of January. And Costco (COST:Nasdaq - news - research - Cramer's Take) runs a net cash deficit quarter after quarter. The net cash calculation is meaningless for a retail model for a variety of reasons, e.g., it does not factor in the value of inventory.

      It is impressive (and capital-efficient) when a retailer grows a business using a minimal amount of capital. In the case of Dell, Costco and Wal-Mart, they are using other people's money (i.e., vendors') to finance their business growth.

      Study the operating model of Overstock and you'll see the same dynamic. About 62% of its business is partner fulfillment (product shipped directly from vendor to Overstock's customer). Growing this business requires minimal capital. And this business generates an enduring float.That's because the company receives cash two days after a transaction and vendor payment isn't due for 30 days.

      Criticism No. 3: CEO Patrick Byrne Is Crazy
      Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne is a prime target for critics. Byrne's use of elaborate imagery (e.g., "Sith Lord" ) and talk of conspiracy have made it easy for critics to lampoon him. While all the criticism generates entertainment for the media, it obscures some serious charges levied against certain hedge funds, such as manipulation of so-called independent research and front-running. (TheStreet.com and James Cramer were issued subpoenas last month by the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with an agency investigation into such manipulation.)
      For potential investors in Overstock, media attacks on Byrne have added a layer of complexity to the assessment of the company. Investors have to be able to sort through these media attacks, some of which are beyond the bounds of reason. For example, columnist Herb Greenberg (a former columnist at TheStreet.com) recently lumped Patrick Byrne together with the likes of Al Dunlap, Jeff Skilling and Dennis Kozlowski.

      My Trip to Salt Lake City
      What is the truth about Byrne? Is this 43-year-old Stanford Ph.D. crazy?
      A couple of weeks ago, on a day Byrne was traveling and out of the office, I flew to Salt Lake City to talk with employees at Overstock, including several members of the senior management team. The ostensible reason for my trip was to discuss the company's model and operations with members of the management team. I also wanted to take the opportunity to quiz everyone that I talked to about working with Byrne on a daily basis.

      The feedback that I received in Salt Lake City is the polar opposite of the media's portrayal. He is greatly admired within the company for his intellect and energy. He is integrally involved in every department, from analytics to marketing to technology to distribution. People that work with him were uniformly startled, amazed and dumbfounded when I mentioned details of the media's representation of him. It doesn't square with the Patrick Byrne that they work with side by side.

      One consistent theme I heard is that Byrne is fascinated with every element of the business. You might think that warehouse distribution would bore a Ph.D. The stories I heard indicate the opposite is true. A manager in analytics told me how Byrne recently helped write the algorithms for a quantitative program to facilitate purchasing decisions. Another manager told me that Byrne regularly talks to employees at all levels in an effort to glean new information.

      The only criticism I could get from anybody regarding Byrne is that he is impatient when it comes to implementing operating improvements.

      There is no grandiosity or pretense, or even a hint of ostentation, at headquarters. The offices are clean and simple. Several employees pointed out items (in some cases the clothes that they were wearing) that are available on Overstock's Web site. Employees have a strong passion for the brand and the company's mission. I heard Sam Walton's name mentioned several times. Frugality seems to be an obsession at the company, and Walton is held up as a role model.

      What Do the Financials Say About Byrne?
      The financials of Overstock and SEC filings tell you a lot about Byrne. There is no "pro forma" presentation of earnings. It's always been GAAP accounting. This is unusual for a high-growth company. Byrne also refuses to embrace EBITDA as a framework for financial presentation because he considers it misleading.

      Byrne does not take a salary. He owns about one-third of all Overstock shares. He feels his "interests are aligned with shareholders" (per an SEC filing) and has declined incentive compensation each and every year.

      This is refreshing to see and, unfortunately, unusual. Large share ownership rarely prevents CEOs from taking more, even though their ownership already puts them in an incentive position. For example, Ralph Lauren of Ralph Lauren (RL:NYSE - news - research - Cramer's Take) and Jim McCann of 1-800-Flowers.com (FLWS:Nasdaq - news - research - Cramer's Take) are among the ranks of leaders who have large ownership positions in their companies -- over 40% and 50%, respectively -- yet still accept huge amounts of incentive compensation. It's costly to other shareholders and it's exploitive because their share ownership gives them effective control of the board of directors. It's rare to find a CEO, like Byrne, who says "no thanks" when it comes to incentive compensation.

      If you study the operating history of Overstock in detail, you have to be impressed with Byrne the businessman. There is no precedent in the history of retail for what he has accomplished.

      I expect Overstock revenue to exceed $900 million this year. That represents a tenfold revenue increase is just four years. It's been accomplished with a tiny amount of capital, as only $66.5 million of net has been deployed. This includes all equity and debt issuance, with adjustments for current cash and repurchases.

      Look carefully at the facts surrounding the early operating history of Overstock and this business story is even more amazing. Competitors had several times more capital than Overstock. They had business relationships and ties to large companies that gave them significant competitive advantages. Whether you like Byrne or not, any objective observer that takes the time to review the facts has to acknowledge his business accomplishments.



      It is also worthwhile to read The World Stock Story, written by Byrne. World Stock (a division of Overstock) is Byrne's effort to help artisans in third world countries. This piece clearly evinces an idealistic passion for fair dealing and for not taking advantage of others for profit.

      It's fair to characterize Byrne as passionate, opinionated and idealistic. It's fair to call him a maverick. It is grossly unfair and absurd to link him to Dunlap, Skilling and Kozlowski.

      Ultimately, though, this may prove to be one the greatest of ironies. Dunlap, Skilling and Kozlowski have gone from widely admired status to positions of scorn and ridicule. In the years to come --- perhaps not on Wall Street, but in business schools -- Byrne may complete the opposite journey.

      SALT LAKE CITY, March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com(R) (Nasdaq: OSTK) today reports that per the DTCC's March 10 Security Position Listing, there are 8,970,394 Overstock.com shares on deposit at the DTCC and that the NASDAQ reported short interest in Overstock.com of 9,578,481 shares for the same week. Thus, Overstock.com's reported short interest is now 107% of the shares available to be shorted.

      Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne said, "The decimal is not misplaced -- we have cracked the speed of light. It is my understanding that some shareholders (e.g., pension funds) might have asked that their shares not be made available to shorts, thus reducing the 8.97 million shares the DTCC has available for lending. I also understand that the 9.58 million stated short interest does not include failed-to-deliver short sales, failed-to-deliver long sales, another category that the DTCC now cryptically calls, 'open positions,' or lending outside the DTCC (i.e., 'ex-clearing'), which only two guys on Staten Island understand. Thus the real ratio is anyone's guess, but it's somewhere between 107% and infinity. On a positive note, the DTCC continues to maintain that their Stock Borrow Program does not permit the creation of new or counterfeit shares: I think that's good, because otherwise this situation could be getting out of control."

      SEC subpoenaed research firm before journalists-source

      Mon Mar 27, 2006 12:17 PM ET
      By Karey Wutkowski

      WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) - Federal regulators have repeatedly asked research firm Gradient Analytics Inc. for documents relating to a stock manipulation scheme investigation in which journalists were also subpoenaed, a source knowledgeable about the matter said on Monday.

      Gradient, a Scottsdale, Arizona stock-research firm, received subpoenas from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2005 and again this month, asking for communication it had with journalists and others about online retailer Overstock.com Inc. (OSTK.O: Quote, Profile, Research), the source said.

      The SEC is investigating accusations by Salt Lake City, Utah-based Overstock that Gradient negatively adjusted research on Overstock after a hedge fund betting against the company's stock requested a change.

      The SEC's San Francisco office took the somewhat unusual step in February of issuing subpoenas to multiple journalists, also asking for telephone records, e-mails and other documents related to Overstock.

      The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Gradient's second subpoena in March is different from the December request, but both involve Overstock research.

      Overstock said earlier this month that a California court is allowing its lawsuit against Gradient and hedge fund Rocker Partners to proceed.

      Karen Hinton, spokeswoman for Gradient, declined to comment about any investigation.

      "We cooperate fully when requested for information," she said.

      SEC spokesman John Nestor declined to comment on the case, but said the agency is close to completing guidelines on its policy for journalist subpoenas.

      SEC Chairman Christopher Cox issued a statement in February after news of the subpoenas came out, saying that the journalist subpoenas are "highly unusual" and that the SEC general counsel, the office of public affairs, the commissioners and he were not consulted about the matter.

      Former SEC officials viewed the statement as a rebuke to commission staff for not consulting higher-ups on the matter.

      The statement also said the commission would consider the issue of journalist subpoenas "before this matter proceeds further."

      Nester said on Monday there has been no change in the status of the journalist subpoenas.

      Hedge Fund Manager Rocker Retiring

      By Jonathan Berr
      TheStreet.com Senior Writer
      4/13/2006 11:21 AM EDT
      Click here for more stories by Jonathan Berr


      Hedge fund manager David Rocker, whose firm is at the center of a short-selling controversy involving Overstock.com (OSTK:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer's Take), is retiring.

      Rocker has relinquished his portfolio management responsibilities as part of a management succession plan, according to a statement from Rocker Partners. His departure is effective Jan. 7, the statement says.

      Rocker Partners isn't changing its investment approach, the statement from PR firm Rubenstein Associates says, adding that three years ago Rocker and his partners David and Marc Cohodes begin to split duties at the Milburn, N.J. firm.

      Rocker Partners owns a minority stake in TheStreet.com (TSCM:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer's Take), publisher of this Web site. The firm was founded by Rocker in 1985. Unlike most short-sellers, Rocker has spoken out publicly and has earned the wrath of some of the companies he has targeted. He didn't respond to an email requesting comment.

      Last year, Overstock filed a lawsuit alleging a wide-ranging conspiracy to manipulate the share price of the Internet retailer. Overstock alleges that research firm Gradient Analytics was in cahoots with short sellers including Rocker Partners. Both companies have denied wrongdoing.

      Rocker is 63. His departure isn't related to the Overstock controversy, a spokeswoman says.

      In 2003 testimony before the House of Representatives, Rocker argued that short sellers, who profit by betting that a stock's price will decline, play an important role in keeping markets honest.

      "Short-sellers frequently serve as unpaid but self-interested detectives and have willingly shared their findings with the SEC," Rocker said.

      TheStreet.com and James J. Cramer, its co-founder and major shareholder, were subpoenaed in February in connection with a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into Overstock's allegations. The company and other media firms including Dow Jones (DJ:NYSE - commentary - research - Cramer's Take) fought the government's request for information, which subsequently was dropped.

      Notice to Overstock.com Shareholders Who Have Not Received a Proxy Statement

      SALT LAKE CITY, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As previously announced, Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) will hold its annual shareholders meeting on Tuesday, April 25, at 1:00 p.m. Mountain Time at its warehouse in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our transfer agent distributed our proxy statement on April 5, and while we have received voting proxies from a majority of our shareholders, we have learned that some shareholders have not yet received a proxy statement from their brokers.

      (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030520/LATU020LOGO-a )

      Shareholders who have not received a proxy statement can review it online at www.shareholder.com/overstock. Registered shareholders of record as of March 10, 2006, who want to vote should contact Kevin Moon at (801) 947-3282 to receive the necessary information to vote online at www.proxyvote.com. Shareholders with accounts at a brokerage firm will need to contact their broker to get the necessary information.

      President Patrick M. Byrne said, "I know a group of folks holding OSTK in 19 accounts at three brokerages, and not a single one of these people has received a proxy in any account. It will come as no surprise that I believe this is a symptom of the failure of our stock settlement system. According to an article in the current issue of Bloomberg Magazine (http://www.bloomberg.com/media/markets/apr_ft_proxy.pdf), overvoting (sometimes 2-3X overvoting) has become routine in corporate America as a result of phantom shares: in such cases, back offices simply throw out excess votes (which means that corporate governance in America is now a hoax, incidentally). In our case, I think there are so many phantom shares of various flavors, and certain parties expect (or should expect) to come under a spotlight, that they are making an effort to avoid sending out proxies where they can. That would explain why we could be in this odd position of having had 75% of the vote already come in, yet 0 out of 19 accounts across three brokerages having received proxies."

      The Overstock.com Board of Directors Appoints Patrick Byrne Chairman and CEO, and Jason Lindsey President and COO

      Jack Byrne Appointed Deputy Chairman

      SALT LAKE CITY, April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At its annual stockholders meeting in Salt Lake City today, Overstock.com(R) (Nasdaq: OSTK) announced that the board of directors has appointed Patrick M. Byrne chairman and chief executive officer, and Jason Lindsey president and chief operating officer of Overstock.com. Jack Byrne, Overstock.com's prior chairman and father of Patrick Byrne, was named deputy chairman.

      (http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030520/LATU020LOGO-a )

      "Jason is a brilliant businessman and was my partner in launching Overstock," said the younger Byrne. "I'm thrilled to have him back. My father continues to be my most important advisor."

      Lindsey served as Overstock.com's chief financial officer from 1999 until he retired in August 2003, and as president from April 2003 until his retirement in August 2003. He has also served on the Overstock.com board for much of the company's history. Prior to launching Overstock.com, Lindsey served as a certified public accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers and in various financial positions for Icon Health & Fitness, most recently as the Director of Finance for European Operations.

      Jack Byrne retired as chairman of White Mountain Insurance Group and Montpelier Re, and is a former chief executive officer of White Mountain Insurance Group, GEICO and Fireman's Fund. A legend in the insurance industry, Byrne brought GEICO back from the brink of the largest insolvency in the history of the insurance industry. Under Jack's leadership GEICO became the most profitable property and casualty company of his era.

      The elder Byrne served as an Overstock.com director from October 1999 until October 2002, and then rejoined the board in June 2004. He served as Overstock.com's chairman from August 2005 until April 2006.

      Overstock.com Reports First Quarter 2006 Financial Results


      Summary of results:

      * Q1 Total revenue: $180.2 million, up 9% versus 2005

      * Q1 Gross profits: $25.2 million, up 2% versus 2005

      * Q1 Gross margins: 14.0% compared to 14.9% in 2005

      * Q1 Net loss: $(15.9) million or $(0.82) earnings per share

      SALT LAKE CITY, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2006.

      "Chop wood, carry water."
      - Wu Li

      Dear Owners,

      We lost $15.9 million in Q1. I anticipate Q2 will look about the same, before we start climbing out of this hole in the second half of 2006. Our theme for this year is to slow growth during the first half of the year so we can work on improving internal business processes in preparation for stronger performance in Q4 and beyond. We continue to anticipate things will look better in Q3, and to be out of the ditch by Q4. Nothing that has happened recently suggests to me that we should change course.

      Sales and operating expenses in Q1 were just what I expected, though margins were a bit lower than I anticipated. The lower margins are a function of a couple of things. Part of it stemmed from warehouse costs that were simply carryover from the systems problems that plagued us in the last part of 2005. We are currently working on an improved build-out of our Salt Lake City fulfillment warehouse, and I am hopeful that when we finish this in June, we will see a drop in our variable handling costs immediately. Additionally, a small amount comes from customer service costs, which again, were inflated due to our systemic problems in 2005, but also because we are emphasizing quality over cost: when our new customer service application goes live in June, I expect a significant drop in these costs.

      Again, I believe that Q2 will look like this past quarter. It is going to take until Q3 to start seeing the benefits of the various technologies and platforms we have spent the last year building. I believe that our expense management (how much it costs to handle a package, a customer service call, etc.) will be much better starting in June and July. Other corporate expense management looks good. But gross margins will likely remain where they are in Q2 for other reasons. As a result of improvements in our inventory management systems, I believe we are carrying more inventory than we really need, and we plan to bring it down another $15-20 million over the next few months.

      We ended Q1 with $52 million in cash and marketable securities, including $20 million of borrowings on our inventory lines. We have an additional $30 million of availability on our lines, and are continuing to reduce inventory to turn it back into cash.

      In summary, I'm committed to stay the course: slowing growth while we improve our systems and enhance the service we provide to our customers. Unfortunately, Q2 will be another disappointing quarter at the bottom line; then the tide should start coming back in by Q3 and we should be afloat in Q4.

      Your humble servant,

      Patrick

      Overstock Paddles the Amazon

      By Arne Alsin
      RealMoney.com Contributor
      5/17/2006 3:57 PM EDT

      This column was originally published on RealMoney on May 17 at 1:50 p.m. EDT. It's being republished as a bonus for TheStreet.com readers.

      Long-term value investors have a distinct advantage over the short-sellers of Overstock (OSTK:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer's Take). That is, value investors can "buy and hold" this stock and ignore the naysayers.

      Short-sellers have no such luxury. It doesn't make sense to "short and hold" Overstock for a couple of reasons.

      First, because of lax rule enforcement and woeful internal market controls, there are already twice as many shares sold short (9 million) than are lendable (4.5 million). By my estimation, about 70% of Overstock shares have been certificated or are in the process of being certificated, making short positions problematic.

      The second reason not to take a short-and-hold position in Overstock is because the stock is dramatically undervalued. This stock has significant multibagger potential as it grows toward profitability.

      Wall Street has an analytical blind spot when it comes to identifying changes in profitability. It's a result of the linear bias of analysts, namely, that what happened yesterday will happen tomorrow.

      Because of this blind spot, huge valuation adjustments are accorded online retailers as they morph from unprofitable to profitable. Shares of Amazon (AMZN:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer's Take) soared 700% from late 2001 to 2003 when that company became profitable.

      Shares of Netflix (NFLX:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer's Take) also scored a seven-bagger in a short time as the company became profitable.

      At their lows, Amazon traded at 75% of sales and Netflix traded at 60% of sales. Currently, Overstock trades at slightly less than 50% of sales.

      Investors Have to See Through the Negativity
      Only a bold and courageous investor will secure the multibagger opportunity in Overstock. That's because companies don't sell at a fraction of their value unless they are enveloped by negativity, and negativity abounds when it comes to Overstock.
      Staying with the Amazon corollary, look at the negative commentary below that enveloped that company in 2001. What is startling is that this is virtually an exact copy of the negative commentary currently directed toward Overstock. As I've noted in an earlier column, the evolution of Overstock's operating model is remarkably similar to Amazon's.

      By the way, this is just a sampling of what I found the "experts" were saying about Amazon within a few days or weeks of the low in the stock. In less than an hour of research, I collected several dozen similar quotes, many of which are from the same characters who criticize Overstock today.

      "They're still losing money and are likely to do so for the foreseeable future." -- A hedge fund manager.

      "When are they going to earn money? That's what investors want to know. If they could turn profitable, people would be interested. It's up in the air whether their business model will work." -- A money manager.

      "They have to show the Street that they can make money." -- Wall Street analyst

      "They don't have a proven business model." -- Wall Street analyst

      With the benefit of hindsight, the attacks on Bezos in late 2001 were harsh and unfair. For example, when Bezos said the company would grow into profitability, a major business publication said: "Should we believe him? The answer is probably, no ... the numbers don't look good." When Bezos declined to comment for the story, the writer implied "that may be because the numbers raise scary questions."

      Look at the negativity embedded in this survey question, directed to investors in general in 2001: "Is CEO Jeff Bezos dreaming when he says Amazon can be profitable? When do you think Amazon will make money?"

      The survey had several specific years to choose from; nevertheless, 52% of the votes went to the last choice: "Never."

      As you can see, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was the target of scorn and ridicule back in 2001. Of course, Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne is currently the target of negative commentary, much of it unwarranted as I explained in this earlier column.

      Here are some more priceless words of wisdom concerning Jeff Bezos near the stock low in 2001. Each quote is directed toward Bezos, but the quotes are eerily similar to current negativity directed at Overstock's CEO.

      "A danger sign for any leader is if they become the issue. It's usually time for that leader to do something drastic, and that usually means leaving." -- University professor

      The following quotes are from various commentators:

      "Bezos has lost control."
      "Bezos' high profile may be as much a liability as an asset."
      "He's become a lightning rod."
      "They (Amazon) still need a chief executive officer like Joe Galli."
      "Jeff Bezos is justifiably considered a brilliant person ... it would benefit everyone if he would apply that brilliance to running the company."
      This scorn and ridicule were directed at Bezos only a couple of years after he was being widely acclaimed, including being named Time magazine's "Man of the Year." It's interesting to note that Patrick Byrne was named an "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Ernst & Young in 2003 and was listed in 2002 as one of the 25 "most influential people" in e-business by Business Week.

      Value investor Bill Miller, manager of the Legg Mason Value Trust (LMVTX), was a lone voice of rationality on Amazon back in 2001. As one commentator put it, "to the bewilderment of his peers, Miller believes Amazon's business model will one day emerge victorious."

      How did Miller see through the negativity? He said that investors have to set aside "preconceived notions" and look at "the long-term reality."

      In my next column, which should publish next Monday, I'll go into detail about the long-term reality of the Overstock model, its earnings power and how to value the company.

      P.S. from TheStreet.com Editor-in-Chief, Dave Morrow:

      Overstock.com Shares Jump

      Monday June 26, 2:27 pm ET
      Overstock.com Soars As Analyst Upgrades on Outlook for Margins, Technology Improvements


      NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of the bargain retailer Overstock.com Inc. climbed Monday after an analyst upgraded the stock on prospects for higher margins and a recent resurgence in customer satisfaction.
      Overstock.com, which sells name-brand merchandise at a discount, saw shares rise $3, or 15 percent, to $22.68 in midday trading on the Nasdaq. The stock has traded between $19 and $48.65 in the last 52 weeks.

      Avondale Partners analyst Frank S. Gristina upgraded the stock to "Market Outperform" from "Market Underperform," setting a $35 target for the shares, up from $19.

      "Our analysis of customer opinion reveals satisfaction is on the rise after a horrific decline in 4Q and 1Q," Gristina wrote in a note to investors.

      Gristina wrote that the company was showing signs of recovery after technology problems late last year "created disastrous economic ripples in every subsequent Q (poor product selection, expensive & spotty fulfillment, and increased customer churn for three)."

      But, he noted, the meltdown forced Overstock.com to slow down and fix computer glitches as well as customer service problems, improvements that are starting to show in the share price.

      "Consumers have a long memory and those that received poor service in late 2005 may only now be lifting boycotts," he wrote.

      Gristina also wrote that he expects the company's warehouse overhaul, combined with smoother fulfillment and customer service operations, to improve margins in the third quarter and nudge earnings toward the black in 2007.

      "We are now convinced that consensus EPS estimates for 2007 are too dire," he wrote. Gristina estimated the company would lose 69 cents per share next year, while analysts polled by Thomson Financial predict a loss of $1.58 per share.

      Still, for 2006, the Avondale analyst set lower estimates than Wall Street did for the company's second-quarter and annual earnings, noting the company expected to follow its first-quarter losses of $15.9 million with second-quarter losses of $16 million. Gristina predicted losses of 90 cents for the quarter and $2.45 for the year. Wall Street analysts expect a loss of 80 cents for the quarter and $2.25 for 2006.

      Overstock.com Reports Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results

      SALT LAKE CITY, July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) (www.overstock.com) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

      * Q2 Total revenue: $160.0 million, up 6% versus 2005
      * Q2 Gross profits: $23.0 million, up 1% versus 2005
      * Q2 Gross margins: 14.4% compared to 15.1% in 2005
      * Q2 Net loss: $(15.7) million or $(0.78) loss per share

      Still chopping wood, still carrying water.

      Dear Owners,
      Q2 financial results came in where I expected. At the start of the year I said we would slow growth so we could focus on improving internal processes, then re-accelerate into the fourth quarter: this work has proceeded at a slightly faster pace than I had expected.

      Operations Update

      Order Flow Management and Customer Care -- For six months we have focused on fixing any issues in the order flow process. The process is now far better than it was under our old systems. These improvements are already showing up in our customer satisfaction scores, which have rebounded to extremely high levels (that is, where they were before the system changeover last year). Our new RightNow customer care application goes live next week: it is an incredible step up from the homegrown solution on which we survived for six years, and will provide tools to track and resolve customer issues: this should further increase customer satisfaction and reduce customer care costs.

      Fulfillment Center Build-out -- We completed construction (at $1.5 million, a bit below budget) of a new three-level, 75,000 square-foot mezzanine in our fulfillment center in Salt Lake City. We should immediately see some improvement in picking efficiency, but the real payoff will come in Q4 and beyond. A latent benefit of the new mezzanine is that it increases warehouse capacity, delaying the need to lease additional space.

      Returns -- We continue to wring out inefficiencies from the returns process. In addition, we're automating more of the process, making it easier for customers to return items on their own. Because the returns process has consistently been the biggest source of customer complaints, this should improve the customer experience.

      Expense Management -- We are showing good discipline in managing operating expenses. Sales & marketing spend is down this year on both an absolute and relative basis, though I expect to see it ramp in Q3 and Q4 as we reaccelerate growth. While technology and other g&a expenses will outpace our revenue growth this year, I expect these to flatten going forward.

      Cash -- In May, we raised $25 million by selling common stock, and we liquidated our $50 million of foreign bonds. We've also continued to reduce our overall and prepaid inventory (albeit at a slightly slower pace than I would have liked), resulting in some drag on gross margins that will continue through the end of 2006. With our Q2 cash raising efforts and our existing inventory line, I'm comfortable with our current cash position through the year.

      IT Systems Update

      Shopping Database -- We completed the shopping database roll-over from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g. This 10g is an all-around great product: it is robust, easy to administer, has a great cost-based optimizer, and offers fast recovery when a node goes down.

      ERP System -- The Oracle ERP system is functioning as intended. The vast majority of the issues we had with the ERP implementation have been resolved, and with a theoretical capacity of 12-15 times last year's Q4, the system has ample capacity to carry us through many holiday seasons.

      Data Warehouse -- The Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) is giving us incredibly granular data. The EDW has been instrumental in several strategic projects we have undertaken this year, including improvements in pricing and inventory management, and is critical to the personalization engine we are building. I believe that the EDW will allow us to manage inventory and pricing better than we ever have, which should result in improvements in inventory turns and gross margins over time. The EDW is the foundation for our work on personalization, though this has continued to lag behind schedule.

      Management Changes

      The old-timers here will remember Jason Lindsey as the conservative yin to my yang. Jason was the CFO in the early years of the company, then became president briefly before retiring for a health reason. He is back as president and is contributing enormously, taking line responsibility for the entire buying team as well.

      Jason's return has allowed me to take over Internal Marketing. This job encompasses website design and function, personalization of the website, and email marketing (which is becoming increasingly personalized). I will focus on completing the development of orderly testing and personalization, the foundations for which Holly so ably built. I am excited to have a real job again.

      We lost two members of our management team. Kamille Twomey, who ran merchandising, decided to go to business school and Holly MacDonald-Korth, who ran Internal Marketing, has also decided to leave the company (though she may do some consulting work for us on several projects before returning to her family's business). Both of these women have left their marks on the company and earned my deep gratitude. We will all miss them. While I am at it, I shall forewarn that Tad Martin, who oversees project management, recently married. He and his wife are planning to live on the East Coast and so Tad will be leaving the company before the end of 2006.

      Ralph Mondeaux and Dan Lee have taken over merchandising, and report to Jason Lindsey. Ralph came to Overstock.com from Baker & Taylor and has done a superb job running our Books, Music, Movies & Games department for the last year. Dan has been our Corporate Controller for the past three years.

      In summary, as I said at the beginning of the year, our financial results for the first few quarters of 2006 will suffer from the large 2005 investments in the business, and the technology debacle they caused. However, by the end of Q3, we will have completed building a solid infrastructure throughout the company. For that reason, I believe that the internal health of the business has never been better.


      I look forward to discussing these developments on our call. Until then,
      I remain,

      Your humble servant,


      Patrick

      PS If you have any questions, please feel free to email them to Kevin Moon at kmoon@overstock.com before the conference call, so we may address them.

      Note to investors

      In May the Board of Directors approved the implementation of the Direct Registration System (DRS) to provide the company's shareholders an alternative to holding paper certificates. (For a brief description of DRS and how it compares to holding physical certificates or holding stock in "street name" through a broker, please visit the SEC's website via the following link: http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/holdsec.htm). Like those who hold physical certificates, shareholders in DRS are registered on the company's books and those shares cannot be lent for short selling. There are advantages to DRS over paper certificates, namely, the shares are transferred electronically between the transfer agent and the shareholder's broker, which results in much more timely transactions, and the risk of loss, damage or theft is eliminated. The company has considered this matter carefully, and believes it is in the best interest of its stockholders to permit them to choose to hold uncertificated shares through DRS should they desire to do so. It is important to note that DRS does not replace shareholder's ability to obtain physical certificates if they prefer. For additional questions regarding DRS, please contact our transfer agent, Computershare, at (781) 575-2879.

      STORES Magazine Ranks Overstock.com Second Hottest Retailer in the Nation

      SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STORES Magazine, the official publication of the National Retail Federation (NRF), announced today that Overstock.com (Nasdaq: OSTK) was named to the Hot 100 Retailers list. Ranked second in the nation, Overstock.com was the only pure-play Internet retailer to make the top 10. In 2005, Overstock's offerings of discounted brand-name merchandise saw year-over-year revenues increase 62.5 percent.

      "It's nice to have our hard work recognized," said Patrick Byrne, chairman and CEO of Overstock.com. "In 2005, we faced one of our greatest challenges balancing aggressive growth with overhauling our technology infrastructure. For the past six months, we've focused on improving those systems and refining our customer service, which we hope will help us top the Hot 100 list again next year."

      The Hot 100 Retailers, sponsored by Alliance Data, highlights the retail companies that reported the greatest year-over-year revenue percentage growth. All public companies with more than $100 million in sales were eligible for the list, which provides a definitive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing companies. This is the first year that the list has been compiled.

      "Though the hottest retailers in the country are not necessarily the biggest, they should not be ignored," said STORES Publisher and NRF Vice President Rick Gallagher. "Any investor will tell you that sometimes the smallest companies have the most potential for growth."

      Overstock.com Celebrates Five-Year Anniversary of Worldstock

      Social Entrepreneurship Program Designed to Reduce Global Poverty Helps Impoverished Artisans Sell $37.4 Million of Their Handcrafted Products to U.S. Consumers


      SALT LAKE CITY, Oct 04, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Overstock.com(R) (Nasdaq: OSTK) today announced the five year anniversary of Worldstock(TM) (worldstock.com), its social entrepreneurship program designed to reduce global poverty. In celebration, chairman and CEO Patrick Byrne issued the following letter to thank Worldstock customers and share how their support has impacted impoverished craftspeople around the world.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Dear Worldstock customers,
      We are marking our five year anniversary working together to reduce global poverty, which, per The World Bank, affects more than one billion people who live off less than $1 a day.
      When we originally conceived of Worldstock, we hoped that you would be as enthusiastic as we were to create a social entrepreneurship program designed to help the world's poor sustain a better living. Because of the overwhelmingly positive response from artisans worldwide to participate in the program, their tremendous work ethic and dedication to their craft, and your conscious desire to shop and make a difference, we are making progress. Please allow me to share the impact of your support from Worldstock's inception September 24, 2001 through September 24, 2006:
      -- You have purchased $37.4 million* of Worldstock products from us, for which we paid $23.9 million to our suppliers.

      -- Of the $23.9 million that we have paid out to Worldstock suppliers, we strived mightily to deal as directly with artisans as possible, so that the highest proportion of that $23.9 million got into the artisans' pockets as we can achieve. This is an area which we are constantly evaluating and seeking to improve.

      -- You're helping an estimated 5,300 artisans and 10,400 of their dependents in 33 countries sustain a living.

      -- You're helping support more than 200 artisans in Colombia alone, where for example, women dislocated by guerilla warfare are earning a living by selling you their hand-woven hammocks.

      -- You're helping improve the artisans' average living wage, which enables them to afford everyday necessities, like food, housing, medical care and education for their children. As one artisan wrote us, for many, Worldstock is "the difference between having something to eat and not having something to eat."

      -- Worldstock was (for a time) the largest private employment provider for women in Afghanistan, per the country's Ministry of Commerce.
      * Within the context of these results, I would like to remind you that we intentionally price Worldstock's products affordably, so that the business can grow and spread to as many underprivileged people as possible. The pricing model barely covers costs to ensure a maximum financial return to every artisan.
      In the past five years, such future investment has included focusing Worldstock's efforts in specific regions, such as Afghanistan and the Navajo Nation, where resources were needed to promote self-sufficiency. Investments have also included generous donations by private donors on behalf of Worldstock to help fund schools for thousands of impoverished children whose livelihoods have been further challenged by AIDS, warfare or natural disasters, like the Indonesian tsunami. Coincidentally, since 2001, some of the most popular Worldstock products you've purchased are from developing countries facing some of the greatest economic, political and social challenges in the world: Bosnia, Colombia, Ethiopia and Ghana.
      While we celebrate these achievements for Worldstock today and look forward to the next five years, I welcome your thoughts and opinions on how we can continue to improve the program. For example, I realize that we can do a better job connecting you to the artisans and the inspiring stories behind their work. Thus, in the coming months, look for artisan videos, photos and podcasts on our Web site to show you how their lives are affected by your support. Until then, we're adding new products daily, including beautiful new, handcrafted furniture from Afghanistan, Colombia, Ghana and Morocco, Ethiopian hand-loomed organic cotton spa robes, Malawi artwork, and Native American jewelry and rugs.
      Once again, thank you for helping me make this program possible. Your conscious efforts are making a world of difference.
      Your humble servant,
      Patrick M. Byrne

      Overstock.com Is One of the Nation's Top Companies for Customer Service in NRF Foundation/American Express Survey

      SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- According to the second annual NRF Foundation/American Express Customer Service Survey, Overstock.com (Nasdaq: OSTK) is one of the nation's top five companies for customer service.

      Overstock.com ranked fourth after Amazon.com, Nordstrom and L.L.Bean, followed by Lane Bryant, Boscov's, Kohl's, REI, Lands' End and Macy's. Overstock.com and the rest of the top ten will be honored with the "Customers' Choice" award, given to companies that have achieved a reputation for excellence in customer service. In last year's survey, Overstock.com did not rank within the top 55.

      "One of our biggest goals this year has been to improve our customers' shopping experience," said Patrick Byrne, chairman and CEO of Overstock.com. "These results show that our hard work is paying off. The customer is and always will be our number one priority. When they talk, we listen and we act."

      According to the survey conducted by BIGresearch, customers' service expectations have risen the most with warehouse clubs (a 3.86 rating this year compared to a 3.58 rating in 2005, a 7.95% increase), discount stores (3.40 vs. 3.21, a 5.88% increase) and online (3.92 vs. 3.71, a 5.75% increase).

      "We treat customer feedback like gold," said Byrne. "Nothing's more valuable to our business."

      Some of the steps Overstock.com has taken in 2006 to improve customer service include:

      * Making it a mission for every employee of the company; customer
      feedback is shared with all, and every department acts accordingly to
      improve their role in perfecting the customer experience
      * Setting up certification and online education programs for customer
      care agents to ensure they resolve customer needs as quickly,
      efficiently and professionally as possible
      * Installing new CRM software by RightNow Technologies to improve
      agents' response time to customer inquiries

      Overstock.com CEO Discusses Short-selling and Company Operations Live on MN1.com

      SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

      Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com (NASDAQ-OSTK), will be featured live on Market News First (www.mn1.com) for an exclusive interview with the MN1 news team. The interview is scheduled for Today, Nov. 10, 2006 at 1:30 P.M. CDT/ 2:30 P.M. EST.

      Overstock.com has earned a lot of fame in the past few years for being a one size fits all retailer that deals exclusively online, but offering far beyond just techie items.

      The Salt Lake City, Utah-based company released its Q3 results this week, saying that it had a net loss of $24.5 million on revenues of $158.7 million. The firm said that revenues were down 6 percent versus 2005, and that profits were down 14 percent versus the prior year.

      In a statement released by the company, Byrne said that Q3 financial results were poor, attributing the results on poor conversion of the firm's advertising efforts. Overstock said that it had increases in cost-per-click advertising and saw little sales traction from its offline marketing efforts.

      Join Mike the Analyst and Patrick Byrne, who is known for his open discussion of short-selling, as they talk about the company's position in the stock market.

      Overstock.com Announces Lawsuit Against Prime Brokers

      Seeks $3.48 Billion in Damages


      SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) announced today that it has filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco against Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Goldman Sachs & Co., Bear Stearns Companies, Inc., Bank of America Securities LLC, Bank of New York, Citigroup Inc., Credit Suisse (USA) Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., UBS Financial Services, Inc., and others. Certain shareholders of the company have joined Overstock.com in the suit.

      The suit alleges that the defendants, who control over 80% of the prime brokerage market, participated in a massive, illegal stock market manipulation scheme and that the defendants had no intention of covering such orders with borrowed stock, as they are required to do, causing what are referred to as "fails to deliver." The suit also alleges that the defendants' actions caused and continue to cause dramatic distortions with regard to the nature and amount of trading in the company's stock which have caused the share price of the company's stock to dramatically drop. The suit asserts that a persistent large number of "fails to deliver" creates large downward pressure on the price of a company's stock and that the amount of "fails to deliver" has exceeded the company's entire supply of outstanding shares.

      The suit accuses the defendants of violations of California securities laws and common law, and California's Unfair Business Practices Act. The company is seeking damages of $3.48 billion.

      "I have a fiduciary duty to defend the company. These manipulative activities have caused tremendous damage to Overstock," said Patrick Byrne, chairman and chief executive officer of Overstock.com. "I believe that this conduct is harming our company and our shareholders deeply, and that investors have been failed by those who have a duty protect them. The best way to address and solve the problem is to get it in front of a jury of 12 Californians."

      Overstock.com Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2006 Financial Results

      SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) (www.overstock.com) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
      * Total Q4 revenue: $297.5 million, down 6% versus 2005
      * Total 2006 revenue: $796.4 million, down 1% versus 2005
      * 2006 gross profits: $101.6 million, down 16% versus 2005
      * 2006 gross margins: 12.8% compared to 15.0% in 2005
      * 2006 net loss: $(96.9) million or $(4.77) loss per share

      Dear Owners:
      The fourth quarter was a difficult end to a tough rebuilding year. While there are plenty of negatives to report, I believe the company has fixed the problems that began in Q4 2005, and we are entering 2007 with a fresh start.
      We lost $41 million for the quarter and $97 million for the year; we paid the price for hastily implemented system upgrades of 2005 and the subsequent troubles caused by them. Q4 sales declined 6%, the same percentage decline we experienced in Q3. Lower traffic was partly to blame and we didn't improve conversion (turning visitors into purchasers) enough to achieve positive growth. In addition, we consciously and aggressively discounted old inventory during the quarter, and as a result, our gross margins were negatively impacted. However, we did this to significantly clean and reduce our inventory, and we were successful in doing so. This was painful, but it was a necessary step in improving our direct business. The company is healthier as a result.
      We ended the year with $20 million of inventory, significantly lower than the $93 million we had at the end of 2005. From this lower inventory level, we expect to turn our inventory much more efficiently. We entered 2007 with more attractive, higher margin inventory, and as a result, we expect our gross margins to increase significantly in 2007 -- in similar magnitude as they did a few years ago. In addition to converting much of our inventory into cash, we also raised $40 million in common equity in December (for a total of $64 million for the year), greatly improving our cash position.
      We built the infrastructure to handle continued hyper-growth just as it ended. We recognize that the days of hyper-growth are behind us and that our poor execution of the building of our infrastructure contributed to the end of that hyper-growth. Our expense structure is higher than it should be, and because of that, we have had to right-size our expense structure for our current sales level. We've reduced our headcount and we've terminated an expensive computer facility co-location lease. We are in the process of significantly reducing additional facilities lease costs and other expenses.
      Based on our preliminary January numbers and our internal 2007 plan, I expect our 2007 results to improve. Specifically, we should:
      * Achieve immediate and substantial gross margin improvements;
      * Reduce sales and marketing as a percentage of revenue; and
      * Reduce technology and G&A expenses from 2006 levels.
      Two last comments: (1) Our NPS scores stayed high during Q4; our customers remain fanatics about us. (2) The poorly implemented system upgrades that caused so much trouble last year hummed through this Q4, like well oiled machines, and I couldn't be happier about that.
      As always, I look forward to discussing this in more detail with you on
      the conference call.

      Humbly submitted,

      Patrick M. Byrne

      P.S. If you have any questions, please feel free to email them to Kevin Moon at kmoon@overstock.com before the conference call, so we may address them.

      TitleMatch Entertainment Group and Overstock.com Sign Distribution Agreement

      COMMACK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/08/07 -- TitleMatch Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of Protocall Technologies Incorporated (OTCBB: PCLI), and Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK) today announced the completion of a distribution agreement for TitleMatch to provide its full range of on-demand digital media products to Overstock.com.

      TitleMatch Entertainment Group is a leading provider of virtual inventory systems and on-demand order fulfillment services that enable online retailers such as Overstock.com to offer 100% in-stock availability on an even wider assortment of entertainment products. TitleMatch uses proprietary systems to produce orders onto DVD and CD at the time of sale thereby eliminating the need for physical inventory.

      "The burn on-demand model from TitleMatch is a very interesting new approach to order fulfillment that moves beyond the limitations that exist with maintaining large physical inventories," said Ralph Mondeaux, VP of Merchandising at Overstock.com. "We look forward to working with TitleMatch in bringing a greater assortment of products to our customers."

      Overstock.com was recently named to the Stores Magazine Hot 100 Retailers list. Ranked second in the nation, the company was the only pure-play Internet retailer to make the top 10. Since the launch of Overstock.com in 1999, its offerings have grown from less than 100 products, to hundreds of thousands that are available today.

      "Overstock.com is one of the premier web destinations for purchasing books, interactive games and videos," said Syd Dufton, President of TitleMatch Entertainment. "TitleMatch is delighted to become a part of the Overstock.com experience."

      Overstock.com Comments on the 2006 SEC Form 10-K

      SALT LAKE CITY, March 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) filed its Form 10-K today for the year ended December 31, 2006. This release is to explain the differences between the 2006 financial results reported in the Form 10-K and the preliminary unaudited 2006 financial results previously issued by press release on February 5, 2007.

      The primary changes to the financial results and the related financial statements are the result of our decision to sell our travel subsidiary, OTravel.com. We have entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell this business to a third-party. As a result, our year-end 2005 and 2006 balance sheets have been reclassified to show the travel subsidiary's assets and liabilities as "held for sale." In addition, on our income statement, the operations of the travel subsidiary (all revenue and expenses) have been removed from our results and reported below our net loss as "discontinued operations." As part of this process, we evaluated the goodwill related to the original purchase of our travel subsidiary and determined that it was subject to an impairment of approximately $4.5 million as of December 31, 2006. This, along with approximately $400,000 of other miscellaneous adjustments, increased our consolidated net loss attributable to common shares to $101.9 million, or $(5.01) per share from the previously reported $97.0 million loss, or $(4.77) per share.

      Full details of the reclassification are available in Footnote 5 (page F-17) of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 that we filed with the SEC today.

      Kaufsignal : GD50 schneidet bald die GD200 von unten
      Für mich bildet sich gerade eine inverse SKS-Formation heraus (mit Doppelkopf:) gibt es den überhaupt?:)).
      Damit habe ich ein Kursziel von um die 27 USD.
      Positive News unterstützen, mit negativen wird die Charttechnik natürlich hinfällig.

      The Other Side of Overstock

      By Michael Comeau
      Research Analyst
      4/19/2007 7:40 AM EDT

      As Brett Arends notes in his column today, the Turnaround Fund is betting big on Overstock.com (OSTK - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating). If you're contemplating the same course of action, I believe you should think twice and instead avoid this stock.
      In Arends' story, Glenn Surowiec, co-manager of the fund, says that the Turnaround Fund specializes in companies "we think are being plagued by temporary, or cyclical, factors." However, Overstock's biggest problem has been its distinct inability to generate profits, and there's nothing temporary about that. Overstock has been serially unprofitable since it came public, and the company reported its biggest loss ever in 2006.

      Glory Days Are History
      This online retailer once showed signs of promise. After all, the Internet as a whole and online shopping in particular have proved to be a strong foundation for numerous secular growth stories, ranging from Google (GOOG - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) to Amazon.com (AMZN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating).

      Overstock itself also enjoyed its share of outsized revenue growth: Sales soared from just $40 million in 2001 to a whopping $788 million in 2006. But those days are over.

      In the fourth quarter of 2005, Overstock grew revenue at an impressive year-over-year rate of 44%. Subsequently, its revenue growth slowed markedly to 8.6% and 6.2% for the first two quarters of 2006, before reversing to declines of 6.3% and 6.4% for the third and fourth quarters of the year, respectively.

      Compare that with rival Amazon, which saw sales jump 34% in its fourth quarter. Sales at eBay (EBAY - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) grew 29% in the same period. And there are countless other examples of retailers showing strong growth online, ranging from Circuit City (CC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) to Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating). With so many retailer players doing so well on the Web, the fact that Overstock couldn't manage to notch positive fourth-quarter growth is unusual and almost disturbing. It implies that Overstock is simply not participating in the growth of online shopping.

      Also in the fourth quarter, Overstock saw a dramatic drop-off in gross margin, which slid to 10.3%, down a significant 430 basis points year over year. In other words, Overstock must have practically given everything away to clear out its inventory. Amazon also saw gross margin degradation, but to a much lower degree.
      Overstock also noted with its fourth-quarter earnings report that lower site traffic was also an issue, so it will likely have to increase marketing spending to draw in buyers. Its inventory was certainly cleared out from elevated levels earlier in the year, falling to $20 million in the fourth quarter from $93 million at the end of 2005. But I have to raise an important question: Can Overstock adequately improve its merchandising while bringing site visitors back? As evidenced by the aforementioned margin degradation, Overstock has clearly been having serious trouble stocking inventory that people want.

      In addition, competition in online retail is only getting stronger. Bricks-and-mortar retailers were slow to get on board in the late 1990s, but many of today's biggest Web retailers are run by the old-line companies. According to data provider Alexa, Wal-Mart (WMT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating), Best Buy (BBY - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) and Target (TGT - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) are all ranked among the top retail Web sites. Plus, the emergence of search-advertising providers such as Google has enabled smaller retailers to effectively operate on the Web.

      Put another way, consumers hold all the cards when they shop online. Within seconds, a Web shopper can compare prices on virtually any item from dozens, if not hundreds, of different retailers.

      Now, given the potential for the mother of all short squeezes in the event of improved fundamentals, I'd eagerly turn bullish on Overstock if the company can get its act together. But there's no reason to buy shares in an unprofitable company with no discernible competitive advantage, operating in what is truly a buyers' market. Overstock certainly is cheap, trading at just 0.4 times sales, but I think it will actually get cheaper.

      Please note that due to factors including low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float, we consider Overstock to be a small-cap stock. You should be aware that such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity and less publicly available information, and that postings such as this one can have an effect on their stock prices.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      TheStreet.com and James J. Cramer, its co-founder and major shareholder, were subpoenaed in February 2006 in connection with an SEC investigation into allegations by Overstock that a research firm, Gradient Analytics, engaged in a conspiracy with short-sellers (including Rocker Partners, which at the time owned a small stake in TheStreet.com, the publisher of this Web site) to manipulate Overstock's share price. The SEC agreed that it would not, at that time, seek to enforce the portions of the subpoenas issued to the company and other media firms, including Dow Jones (DJ - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating), that concern communications between journalists and their sources.

      Overstock.com Marks 500th Consecutive Trading Day on the SEC's '13-Day' Regulation SHO Threshold List

      Company Submits Second Comment Letter to SEC on Proposed Amendments to Regulation SHO


      SALT LAKE CITY, April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) (www.overstock.com) yesterday appeared on the Regulation SHO threshold list for the 500th consecutive trading day.

      The Regulation SHO threshold list, mandated by the SEC in January 2005, was an attempt to curb abuses associated with naked short selling. Published daily by the exchanges (e.g., NYSE and NASDAQ), the list contains the names of companies whose stock broker dealers have failed to deliver stock sold in quantities above a calculated threshold.

      In adopting Regulation SHO and in establishing the list, the SEC stated: "Naked short selling can have a number of negative effects on the market, particularly when the fails to deliver persist for an extended period of time and result in a significantly large unfulfilled delivery obligation at the clearing agency where trades are settled."

      Overstock, the company now longest on the threshold list, believes that by any standard other than geological, 500 days is an "extended period of time."

      "It took seven days to create the cosmos, it takes nine months to make a baby, but after 500 trading days Wall Street and the prime brokers still can't deliver stock they are selling to Main Street America," said Patrick Byrne, Overstock chairman and chief executive officer. "For 500 trading days, brokers have taken investors' money yet refused to deliver what they sold -- in this case, shares of our stock. Anywhere else but Wall Street the perpetrators would be behind bars. Instead, apparently, they are at bars, discussing stuffed shark art collections while scoffing at regulators and Americans who trusted their savings to their brokers."

      Over nine months ago, the SEC proposed two reforms to Regulation SHO: elimination of the "grandfather provision," and a tightening of the close-out requirement under the market maker exception. The SEC has yet to take action on this proposal, but instead rather recently re-opened comment period on these proposed amendments at the request of three people who wished to have more time to examine data that has been in the public record for over six months.

      Overstock has submitted a second comment letter to the SEC on the proposed amendments to Regulation SHO (see http://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-12-06/s71206.shtml for a list of all public comment letters submitted to the SEC on the proposed amendments). In its letter, Overstock continues to support immediate adoption of the SEC's proposed changes and to urge the SEC to adopt quickly two additional measures to close known loopholes: (1) require prompt disclosure of the current volume of failures to deliver, and (2) require a firm pre-borrow prior to all short sales. Both of these additional measures were also supported by members of Congress, state legislators, executives, academics, business organizations, and public companies.

      "Perhaps we should have a list of companies that the rule of law does not protect," said Byrne. "Oh wait -- we already do! It's called, 'the SEC's Regulation SHO threshold list'."

      Overstock.com Marks Appellate Panel Decision in Patent Troll Case

      SALT LAKE CITY, May 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) today announced the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in rejecting the appeal of Furnace Brook in Furnace Brook, LLC v. Overstock.com, Inc. The decision rendered yesterday by a three-judge panel upheld in its entirety a lower court ruling granting Overstock summary judgment and dismissing Furnace Brook's patent infringement claims. In rejecting Furnace Brook's attempt to claim internet application for its patent, the appellate court's decision conforms to a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision rejecting broad application of patents to systems and inventions not conceived of in the original application.

      "We respect legitimate intellectual property rights of others, but patent trolls are another matter. This federal court's decision validates our decision to fight patent trolls. Furnace Brook can no longer use this patent to try to hold up internet retailers," said Jonathan Johnson, Overstock Senior Vice President of Legal.

      "Our legal team at Bracewell & Giuliani LLP did a wonderful job in defending this case aggressively," said Patrick Byrne, Chairman and CEO of Overstock. "Patent trolls file spurious infringement claims assuming their targets will calculate that fighting is more costly than paying them off. This court's decision is a clear warning that such protection-racket mentality has no place in our economy."

      The lower court had previously granted Overstock's summary judgment motion, ruling Overstock did not infringe Furnace Brook's US Patent No. 5,721,832 as a matter of law. Furnace Brook had filed suit against Overstock in New York in 2005, shortly after Overstock sued Furnace Brook in Utah for a declaratory judgment of non-infringement. In the case, Furnace Brook had sought approximately $25 million, claiming that its patent titled "Method and Apparatus for an Interactive Computerized Catalog System" applied to retailers selling products over the Internet and by use of Internet-enabled cellular telephones. Furnace Brook acquired its patent at a bankruptcy auction in 2003.

      Overstock.com Wins Ruling in Prime Brokerage Litigation

      SALT LAKE CITY, July 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, (Nachrichten) Inc. (http://www.overstock.com/) announced today a favorable ruling in the lawsuit pending in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco against most of the largest prime brokerage firms in the country, including Morgan Stanley&Co. Incorporated, Goldman Sachs&Co., Bear Stearns Companies, Inc., Bank of America Securities LLC, Bank of New York, Citigroup Inc., Credit Suisse (USA) Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner&Smith, Inc., and UBS Financial Services, Inc.

      On July 17, 2007, Judge John Munter of the California Superior Court for the City and County of San Francisco ruled that Overstock and it co-plaintiffs have stated viable claims for market manipulation under California securities law, for common law claims for conversion and trespass to chattels, as well as for injunctive relief under California's Unfair Business Practices Act against the defendant prime brokerage firms based on those defendants allegedly executing naked short sales of the stock of Overstock with the intent of manipulating the market price for the shares of those companies' stocks. In addition, the Court granted Overstock (and its co-plaintiffs) leave to amend other of their claims for restitution under the Unfair Business Practices Act and for the common law claim of interference with advantage, to more specifically plead the factual basis of these claims.

      In so ruling, Judge Munter rejected defendants' claims that Overstock's complaint is preempted by federal law and that 'phantom' shares are not created by naked short selling of a company's stock as a matter of law.

      "This is a huge win for us," said Jonathan Johnson, Overstock Senior Vice President of Legal. "We are eager to start discovery and move this case to trial. The day we expose in detail the defendants' misconduct to a jury will be a good day for Overstock, its shareholders and the capital markets."

      "As I listened to defendants' counsel argue that phantom shares don't exist because the SEC says they don't exist," said Patrick Byrne, Overstock Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "I was reminded on Abraham Lincoln's favorite joke: 'If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?' 'Five?' 'No, four -- because calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.' Defendants create phantom shares by facilitating naked short selling and other types of trades which result in failures-to-deliver. This is manipulative and illegal -- regardless of what the industry's all-too-cozy regulatory agency says. The battle to clean up Wall Street is only going to be won when it is brought to a jury of 12 Americans. Today was a giant step towards that goal."

      The suit alleges that the defendants, who control over 80% of the prime brokerage market, participated in a massive, illegal stock market manipulation scheme and that the defendants had no intention of covering such orders with borrowed stock, as they are required to do, causing what are referred to as "fails to deliver." The suit also alleges that the defendants' actions caused and continue to cause dramatic distortions with regard to the nature and amount of trading in the company's stock which have caused the share price of the company's stock to dramatically drop. The suit asserts that a persistent large number of "fails to deliver" creates large downward pressure on the price of a company's stock and that the amount of "fails to deliver" has exceeded the company's entire supply of outstanding shares. The company is seeking damages of $3.48 billion.

      Overstock.com Sees Great Conversion and Customer Satisfaction Results through Integration of Mercado and Bazaarvoice

      Leading Online Clearance Outlet Incorporates Customer-Driven Product Rankings into Searchandising Solution


      PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

      Mercado Software, the leading provider of eCommerce search and merchandising solutions, today announced the successful integration of the Bazaarvoice ratings and reviews solution at Overstock.com, Inc. Mercado's extensive use of customer feedback data makes it easier for Overstock's customers to refine product selections based on what are becoming increasingly important buying decision criteria.

      The benefits of search and merchandising have long been recognized: retailers have commonly reported significant conversion rate and average order value (AOV) increases as a result of solutions like Mercado. Retailers are now rapidly realizing the power of word-of-mouth marketing, and the benefits of providing a mechanism for customers to provide product reviews and rankings on their sites. Earlier this year Mercado and Bazaarvoice established a partnership to satisfy demand from retailers for the inclusion of product rankings as key relevancy metrics in eCommerce search and navigation results.

      Number 25 on the Internet Retailer Top 500, Overstock.com is an innovator in online retailing, and an early adopter of leading edge technology. Overstock.com went live with Mercado in March 2007 and integrated Bazaarvoice into their searchandising environment within a couple of weeks. Now, when customers shop on Overstock.com, in addition to narrowing choices based on attributes such as color, brand, size, or price, they can sort their results by highest review rated products.

      "The integration of ratings and reviews into search and merchandising really reinforces what we're trying to do at Overstock," said Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com.

      "Consumers are turning to each other to make the best possible purchase decisions, and ratings and reviews are increasingly important for retailers and shoppers alike," said Brett Hurt, founder and CEO of Bazaarvoice. "Through the integration of Bazaarvoice and Mercado, visitors to Overstock are able to quickly and easily find top-rated products in any category, making the shopping experience more efficient and rewarding."

      "Overstock.com is a great example of how customer feedback is increasingly playing an important role in online retailing, and we're thrilled with their deployment of the Mercado/Bazaarvoice joint solution," said Corey Leibow, CEO of Mercado Software. "Our partnership with Bazaarvoice underscores the importance of user-generated content to searchandising. We look forward to many more success stories like Overstock.com and continuing to strengthen our partnership with Bazaarvoice."
