All postings about Salon (pork be upon them) require the obliqatory stock chart. It's an unwritten FR rule:-)

Salon will also announce its first profitable quarter in its historyAny normal business would have been dust under the investors' boots, with TEN YEARS of no profit.

Renting city runaways to the park avenue elites must be quite profitable then...

2.2 million / 55 full time employees.
$40K/year on average, in SF. To say nothing of bandwidth, rent etc.
I'd guess they are capitalizing ongoing costs to make themselves look better. (Which is how a former employer operated, it usually does'nt end happily). Not sure if it's fraudulant. Depends on the details.

A profitable quarter. So, how many more quarters to get out of the hole?

Huge investment for such small results.

Dollar amounts are as of 31-Mar-04 and compensation values are for the last fiscal year ending on that date. "Pay" is salary, bonuses, etc. "Exercised" is the value of options exercised during the fiscal year. |

Joe Conason received an unfair tax cut for the stupid when he wrote off his Salon stock losses. It's very unfair because the stupidist 1% of Americans benefited the most.

Anytime I refresh on Salon.com, it leaves a trail on my screen like a slug. Hey, Sid Blumenthal worked there!
BTW, back when Salon wasn't a PINK SLIP PENNY STOCK, you used to be able to track a George Hambrecht proping up Salon with cash infusions. Who's Liz? His wife? His daughter? His new wife who's as lod as his daughter?

Well, Salon is now on corporate welfare because it won;t pay taxes on its income. Scum.

I've actually made about $100 with Salon stock as an experiment. Before anyone accuses me of sleeping with the enemy, here's how I've done it: Basically, when the stock drops below 13¢, I buy a thousand shares. Then, when the stock jumps above 17¢ I sell. The stock usually peaks because the liberal nitwits inevitably bail the company out with a large cash infusion. The liberal mentality will
never let Salon die, so every time some big money lib bails out Salon, I walk away with a small cut.
I've done this a couple of times, each time with at least a 30% return. Salon is so cheap and volatile that this trick actually works with only a little capital investment. I'm afraid to try it with a larger dollar amount, though, because of the eventual possibility that the libs will wise up and stop saving their virtual fishwrap.
