He led the team at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nextupresearch.com/Site/NEXT_up!.html">NeXt Up Research</a> that calculated the value of the micro blogging service and arrived at <a target="_blank" href="http://blogs.usatoday.com/technologylive/2009/11/analyst-twitter-worth-about-600-million.html">$526 million to $674 million</a> -- half what Twitter is generally believed to be worth.<br /></p>
<p>Really?</p>
<p>The team estimates that Twitter will generate revenues of $114 million to $134 million in 2013. In 2014, Twitter is expected to post revenues of $126 million to $148 million. This is far more conservative than the valuation implied by the company's most recent round of venture capital investment, which puts the company's worth at more than $1 billion.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/11/14/twitter-valuation-off-by-half-next-up-research/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Twitter valuation off by half: NeXt Up Research</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/11/14/twitter-valuation-off-by-half-next-up-research/">Twitter valuation off by half: NeXt Up Research</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:30:00 EST.

Well, this is the case with Michael Moe's new book <em>Finding the Next Starbucks.</em> Michael Moe was among the very first analysts to discover the growth and magic of <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/starbucks-corporation/sbux/nas">Starbucks Corporation</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/starbucks-corporation/sbux/nas">SBUX</a>). Mike was a young analyst visiting companies up in Seattle, and after a long week, his last meeting was with the fledgling, up start company named after a Moby Dick character. Mike nearly canceled the meeting to catch an earlier plane home. The readers of Mike's new book should be grateful he did not. Mike was involved with Starbucks when it had a market value of barely $200 million: today Starbucks' market capitalization is $20 billion.</p>
<p><em>Finding the Next Starbucks</em> is a must read for any level investor, new to experienced. Michael Moe brings his more than 20+ years of investment banking and analytical experience and skills to life. Michael is passionate about growth investing and the power of growth. I said he has walked the walk and talked the talk: Michael is Chairman, Founder and CEO of ThinkEquity Partners headquartered in San Francisco. ThinkEquity has recently merged with British firm Panmure Gordon to establish the entity into a global player. </p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/06/29/finding-the-next-starbucks-a-must-read/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>'Finding The Next Starbucks': A must-read</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/06/29/finding-the-next-starbucks-a-must-read/">'Finding The Next Starbucks': A must-read</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Fri, 29 Jun 2007 17:29:00 EST.
