Wonder if they'll see an increase in business. With all the bars and everything closed how are people gonna hook up? They own all the web-based dating properties... or a bunch of em at least. 45 brands, including Match, Tinder, PlentyOfFish, Meetic, OkCupid, Pairs, Twoo, OurTime, BlackPeopleMeet and LoveScout24, each designed to manage its users' likelihood of finding a romantic connection. As of March 31, 2017, the Company offered its dating products in 42 languages across more than 190 countries. Ahhh. Probably a silly idea. Unless CNBC pumps it. Then it'll jump for a day or two.
(just thinking out loud here to myself, pay no attention ) Digging deeper... I had to see who owns EliteSingles. (We are EliteTrader's after all. ) They seem kind of classy, or their ads do at least. More upscale clientele. I wanted to see if Match owned them, because a lot of MATCH's properties don't make any money. Had it been MATCH, I would have given MATCH a thumbs up... but its not. Its Spark Networks. Out of Berlin but they have an NYSE ADR. Interesting $LOV Its almost a penny stock to boot. $3 Earnings are the 29th. Off the radar too, low average volume. It was $16 a little over a year ago. Hmph. They did something wrong. Need to look into that. They have been advertising over here a lot though. Plus Europe is all locked down. Never know... might get lucky. (and not even have to be a client. yuk-yuk) It is interesting. I've never heard of it, not that that means anything really. It might be a Corona play though. I like it better than MATCH. At first glance at least. No earnings though. Need more DD on this one. Spark Networks SE is a dating company. The Company is engaged in creating communities that help individuals form relationships with others. The Company’s brands include EliteSingles, JDate, Christian Mingle, eDarling, JSwipe and Attractive World.

LOL been chatting to 2 off those sites ( That fit bird just using me for sex 2weekly ohhh hell ) It's becoming phone/video sex only as nobody want to meet up incase they get a mild cough, bloody FEAR mongering media. Badoo and Bumble zero class kinda guy here. Even the escorts in the area are scared, video sex only don't ask to meet, the few that will charging 3x's the normal price, so I've heard cough cough.
That's funny. Its like "protection" used to be a condom... now its a mask. Probably work well for some of those nasty birds, cover up their mugs. Wonder if they put their profiles on ChristianMingle for vid-sex. So I've been reading up on this company, LOV. They have their share of debt. And revenues have dropped last year. That EliteSingles though, and the ChristianMingle, I bet they are signing people up. It'll be interesting to see this next report from these people. If they hit some numbers, this thing will double in a day. If not... it can only go to zero. Unlike oil.
I'm the king of online dating. Bumble,tinder,pof ,zoosk. I probably have 50 woman a week that contact me . Met over 400 woman in last 3 yrs. Its a zoo out there . But with the virus i've put meeting in person on hold. So even though woman want to meet (actually woman nowadays tell you up front they want to get laid ) i decline .
Do a little DD on this stock when you have a few... $LOV.... see what you think. This pig could bounce if they have a gameplan. From their site: Spark Networks SE is a leading global dating company with a widening portfolio of premium & freemium apps. Listed on the New York Stock Exchange American under the ticker symbol ‘LOV’, the company was formed in 2017 following the merger between Berlin-based Affinitas GmbH and US-based Spark Networks Inc. From small start-up to the world’s 2nd largest publicly listed dating company with over one million monthly paying subscribers, Spark’s success story is nothing short of remarkable. Spark Networks Inc. began with Jdate, a niche dating site for the Jewish community, launched out of a West Los Angeles condominium in 1997. Word spread fast, and it quickly became the go-to destination for Jewish singles looking for love worldwide. Successful religious dating ventures followed, including Christian Mingle, the app synonymous with Christian dating in the US, as well as LDS Singles and Adventist Singles. An acquisition saw the popular millennial Jewish dating app, JSwipe, added to the portfolio in 2015. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean, venture capitalists were investing in Berlin start-up Affinitas GmbH. Their first app, eDarling, launched in 2009 in Germany, and expanded internationally the following year. Eyeing rapid growth, eHarmony invested in the company in 2010, only to sell their stake back to existing shareholders in 2013. But Affinitas GmbH wasn’t disheartened; it saw opportunity. The buy-back allowed the company to enter the lucrative English-speaking markets, which was previously barred by its relationship with eHarmony. EliteSingles, an app for educated singles and professionals, launched in the UK, Canada and Australia in 2013 and in the US in late 2015. EliteSingles enjoyed unprecedented success and became Affinitas’ flagship app. The acquisition of Attractive World followed in 2016, propelling the company’s position in France. In November 2017, Affinitas GmbH and Spark Networks Inc. closed an all-stock merger that led to the creation of a new parent company, Spark Networks SE, heralding a bold new chapter and an increased presence in the US – the company’s key market. The following year Spark re-launched SilverSingles, a premium dating app for 50+ dating, which continues to see strong commercial success. Spark further consolidated its portfolio in July 2019 when it acquired Zoosk, marking a two fold increase in scale and making Spark Networks SE the second largest dating company in North America.
Where's @Overnight when we need him? (probably on YouTube) Isn't he a Jewish Single? I need some Peter Lynchian insights here.
Match did in fact jump 70% from the time I posted this, but even better, the penny stock I found, $LOV, did in fact double and made it north of $8 at one point a few months back.
