How long before Angie's list shuts down.

Two years sounds about right. I can't see a turnaround.

Frankly I am shocked they are as successful as they are. I was wrong 10y ago and still am.

They in some kind of financial bind that they didn't divulge when they were declaring they were not going to expand their Indy HQ because of IRFRA?

Six months or so ago, they were talking about bankruptcy, and layed off 400-700 workers.....

Then they started talking about getting money, from Indy, and hiring, and expanding .....

I read somewhere that Amazon plans on creating a user review type website. Between the BBB, Yelp, various forums, etc., trying to get people to pay for reviews, which some claim are edited or outright deleted if the company pays ANGI for advertising, is a failed business model. Right now the stock price is $5.66/share. There are $5 put options selling for around $100 per contract with an expiration of Jan. 15th, 2016. If the company fails by the end of the year by filing for bankruptcy, those contacts would be worth about $500 per contract ($5/share for 100 shares).

That's what I thought as well. Then when I heard they were expanding I was confused. Maybe they are trying to get their price up....

If they insist on pissing off people by deliberately jabbing their thumb in their eyes, good riddance to bad rubbish.

Their success lies in how it is presented to the share holders. I did a little research on them for an ethics class and the two year prediction sounds rather optimistic to me. Of course what do I know, I'm just an insecure heterosexual male clinging to my guns and my religion!

Like others, I am shocked they have lasted this long. I would not be shocked if they hit rough times in '15. I think the RFRA debacle was just an easy way out for them.

Oh you're one of those.

They've changed their business model to allow advertising, and businesses to push their way to the top of the list...
it will last as long as there are businesses willing to do so... like the yellow pages

 

[TB1999]

Long time. They are still printing phone books and they have been out of style for 15 years.

Hopefully soon enough to tie in the CEO who brought politics into a business that should not have.

Angie?s List CEO William Oesterle to Step Down - WSJ

There is some thought that he's stepping down to take a run at Pence. That could be interesting. He's from the Daniels camp. We'd get to see just how damaged Pence is.
