Blinkx Stock is Way Overvalued
Blinkx video search is a start-up founded by ex-Autonomy guys with no revenues to-date. The company first started out making a web-search toolbar and then Google came out with one. So they licked their wounds and decided to do video search instead. They told everyone they had $10 million in angel funding but in reality, Autonomy (their former parent company) had a 90% ownership share in the company for the licensing of the technology that runs the Blinkx video search. So far so bad.
Later, Autonomy’s demerger filing shows that its “consumer unit” (Blinkx) had $3.8m revenues in 2006, all of which was “generated by Autonomy salespeople who are not transferring to the Blinkx business”.

How do forex options affect forex market?
Pat asked:
Anybody can tell me how forex options affect forex market? Do they actually affect the market only when they are exercised? Does an exercise of a forex option occur at the same time as a sell-off of the option? (My understanding is that when an option expires, you have to exercise it then sell it to make profit)
OK, for more clarification, my understanding is that, when an option is exercised, you open a position at the stated price. But I don’t know if the opened position has to be closed immediately. Correct me if I am wrong.
