AOL Inc. (AOL)

Only in January did former Time-Warner CEO Gerald Levin admit the deal was a colossal mistake. Bad deals do happen. Even Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) CEO Warren Buffett admits to making them. In the case of Time Warner and AOL, it was pretty clear from the time the deal was announced the two corporate cultures wouldn't mix. There may be a bigger reason for acquisitions turning out badly, but I can't think of it. Remember, synergy is critical for success. Even when products and services complement, classing culture will always sour the deal.

By turning Internet access into a home utility, AOL became one of the nation's most admired brands and workplaces. It was the Google (GOOG) or the Facebook of its time. Then something happened. In as many years as it took AOL to achieve such remarkable success and influence, it lost it. AOL no longer leads America on any new quests. It isn't changing anything about how we live our lives. Few people are clamoring to work there. Worse, having an @aol.com e-mail address, something that used to mean you were on the cutting edge, now just suggests you are old.

The company will have its second earnings report post spinoff this week. AOL posted a slender profit in February, shedding light on the company's performance during its final days as a part of Time Warner and its re-emergence as an independent company. With the report on the first full quarter as a standalone company coming, here are some key issues to look for.
Analysts expect AOL to make 69 cents a share for the first quarter on revenue of $679 million. The company should make around $73 million in the first quarter. Still a mere shadow of the $350 million America Online made in its last quarter before the combination in 2000.

However, some of those gains, it turns out, were cooked up in an accounting scandal.
Tim Armstrong, the company's CEO, recently said his top priorities for this year include making sure that AOL properties "really become the leaders in display advertising." Unfortunately, there is little sign of this. Analysts expect display ad revenue to drop 13% from a year ago to $164 million. And display revenue at AOL is estimated to be 40% less per unique user than such sales at rival Yahoo! (YHOO).
Investors are looking forward to year-end, when AOL's search partnership with Google expires. A new deal will give AOL a chance to improve the user experience. A recent search of the same terms on Google returned more than three times as many results than on AOL. In the meantime, AOL continues to lose market share, with analysts citing a nearly 20% decline in first-quarter search volume.

AOL still gets the vast majority of its profits from its ancient dial-up Internet access business, even as the user base dwindles toward 5 million. It was four times that a decade ago. Analysts' projections indicate subscription revenue dropped 29% in the fourth quarter to $305 million.

Of course, execution risk is nothing new at AOL. As its founder Steve Case once said, adapting Thomas Edison's quote to the failure of the AOL-Time Warner merger, "Vision without execution is hallucination."

With the length and breadth of the issues sitting as potholes in AOL's road to success, a bearish trade may be in order. The stock recently hit a 52-week high above 29, but a significant surge higher is not expected as the median price target sits at 27. Of the 14 analysts covering the stock, only 1 rates it a buy with one sell rating, leaving the remaining 12 at hold.
For a hedged trade on AOL, consider the June 31/33 bear-call credit spread. Sell the June 31 calls while buying the same number of June 33 calls for a 0.20 cent credit or better. That's an 11.1% return and the stock has to rise 8.8% to cause a problem.

Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO)

The first quarter results for Yahoo showed revenue growth for the first time in 18 months. The increase in profits for the company was a boost as it attempts to recover in the online advertising market.
Yahoo, buoyed by its new partnership with Microsoft in a bid to take on Google, has started the year well, despite posting only a gain of one percent. This may have fallen just short of the growth that had been expected, but was certainly a step in the right direction for the company.

Yahoo has now started to see the benefits from its deal with Microsoft, which now provides its Internet search results plus display advertising.

Yahoo may have started to recover in its online advertising, but it is still way short of the 21 percent increase experienced by the more powerful Google.

The first quarter was highlighted by a 20pc increase in Yahoo’s display advertising, a category that includes online billboards and other more dynamic commercial messages. It will certainly need to use all the help it can get from its new ally in Microsoft if it hopes to mount more of a serious challenge to Google in the future of search.

Alamo Energy Corp. (ALME)

Alamo Energy Corp. is an independent company focused on the exploration, development and production of onshore oil and gas reserves in the United States & United Kingdom.

With headquarters in London, UK and a US office based in Houston, Texas, Alamo combines international reach with in-depth local knowledge. As a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ OTCBB under the symbol ALME.OB, our strategy centers on increased shareholder value through a focus on near-term production and low risk appraisal development opportunities whilst balancing the portfolio with high-impact exploration and appraisal acreage.

Currently, Alamo’s focus lies in the development of key assets in Texas including multiple lease acreage opportunities within the leading inland crude oil producing regions in the southern United States. In addition four exploration blocks located in a proven onshore oil and gas province in South East England have been acquired for exploration.
Alamo Energy Corp. (OTCBB:ALME - News), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a well re-entry program with WEJCO, Inc. on its Hubbard 1-H well, Jack D Hubbard Lease Development in Brown County, Texas.

The Hubbard 1-H well, which is located on 453 acres, has full Schlumberger Triple Combo data showing logged pay with strong mud log shows and was originally drilled targeting the Caddo, Duffer and deeper Barnett formations. The initial flow rate from the well was over 1,000mcfg/d and 16 bblso/d.

Whilst undergoing completion, the well suffered mechanical issues resulting in the well being cemented in at the Duffer zone. The well is currently producing from the Caddo formation into a low-pressure pipeline gathering system on the lease.

The target of the re-entry program is to complete the Duffer formation which we anticipate to produce initial flow rates after perforations and fracing of 500 mcfg/d and 8bblso/d. Upon successful completion, we believe there is also the opportunity to further develop the acreage by drilling new wells including targeting the Barnett formation.
