Computer file backup service. Carbonite.com. It’s for old folks who haven’t heard of external hard drives. Their stock is down 5.37% so far today!!!

They started going south in afternoon trading yesterday and are now down over 5% today. The timing is very interesting.

Die, Carbonite, die!

“I posted some of their cheaper competitors on their own Facebook Wall last night.”

Alright!

Also Facebook is where all the lefties are hitting these companies.

Who’d you go with? I just got my Nationwide car insurance bill and I’m curious to see if I can get a better rate somewhere else.

Any recommendations for a replacement?

My Carbonite subscription is up in a couple of months. I am waiting to see which of Carbonite's competitors is smart enough to grab Carbonite's advertising slot on Rush Limbaugh's show.

Yes, I would much prefer to sign up with a company that supports Rush by advertising with him.

I posted several snippets from financial analysts on CARB yesterday. They are not profitable and have told investors they plan to be by 2014, assuming their growth and customer retention go according to plan.

A plan that their CEO Mr. Friend may have put at risk by his actions. Who “made” Carbonite? the 40% who identify as conservatives and listen to Rush or the 17% who are liberals? Cutting your potential market in half may well prove to be a career-ender, if not a company-ender, with Drop Box, Google, and others not aggressively targeting the cloud storage market.

Wait until those advertisers go groveling back to Rush, and he ups the costs of advertising exponentially.

You won't hear about it in the State-Run-Media; they're too busy covering the Carpet-Muncher Fluke's "plight".

ROFL

Carbonite has been advertising on Rush for years.

Date - Adj Close
2011-08-11 - 14.81
2011-09-01 - 12.04
2011-10-03 - 12.62
2011-11-01 - 12.12
2011-12-01 - 11.1
2012-01-03 - 9.97
2012-02-01 - 9.69
2012-03-01 - 9.15

So the long term trend is not related to Rush, but the short term trend is all about Rush?

Did you see the hardcore leftist connections of Carbonite CEO, David Friend? And the Pro-Flowers was founded by a radical homosexual activist congressman?

Schadenfreude, Good and tasty,
It is a delicious dish
Liberals should be more careful
They might get just what they wish!
When the left has used them completely
When they’re Passe’ or just plain old
Then they become “yesterday”
And they are thrown out in the cold.

Schadenfreude, good and tasty
The end is easily foretold
To obtain the greatest pleasure
This is a dish best served COLD!

The entire market is down today, and from the looks of the chart, advertising on Rush didn’t help them either.

Yep, I was in a war last night. The left was praising them but everyone knows the left wouldn't buy their product anyway and quite a few of us Conservatives on there was boycotting and canceling their products.

It was funny.

Carbonite is about to leave their carbon footprint into extinction.

I would too, but I am also motivated purely by self interest.

I don't want to sign up with an online backup company only to have it go out of business. If a Carbonite competitor quickly starts advertising on Rush, there is no doubt that it's business will surge.
