Las Vegas Small Business Internet Marketing Co. Is The Newest Start-Up For Dallas, Texas-Based Venture Capital Group


Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) January 13, 2014

Las Vegas has become home to another global company as Dallas, TX-based Z-Acquisition Group has announced the launch of Small Business Internet Marketing Co. The Texas venture capital group has been known more for their international investments the past couple of years, with openings of offices in Moscow, Russia, Kiev, Ukraine, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Pakistan, along with rumors of an upcoming Dubai location.

From an outsider’s perspective, the announcement to fund this perceived smaller operation seemed not to fit with their most recent investment pattern. When asked about this potential change in investment strategy, Dennis Zedrick, Chairman of Z-Acquisition Group, said “There is no plotline change here.” When pressed further on the topic, the no-nonsense executive added “Z-Group has always worked in the very small business space, the area where most private equity, and M&A guys don’t want to play. The majority of the work in that area has always entailed building marketing programs for startups and rebuilding marketing and sales teams for the distressed companies we acquire. We have had our in-house marketing and coding teams in place for 6 years now, and they have been servicing companies in our portfolio, some foreign operations, and various pro bono deals we get pulled into doing,” stated Zedrick. “So we put a great brand name on a team that already existed, and now they can go and service other small businesses that need help with revenue.”

Small Business Internet Marketing Co. is targeting people in the B2B segment that could use services related to Internet marketing for small business owners. Their services are available to small businesses anywhere in the world.

Walter Parker Group Investment Ideas

Walter Parker Group is specifically designed to provide value orientated services in the areas of strategic planning, business development, and mergers and acquisitions. We assist our clients in building equity by improving the effectiveness and efficiencies of their organizations.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett, among others, is notorious for telling investors to buy what they know. Basically, Buffett and his enthusiastic followers suggest investing in companies that you really understand or at least know enough about them to be able to explain how they make money – i.e. the company’s business model. Though it’s certainly not without merit, buying what you know is not necessarily an investment strategy that will yield the most investing success. Here we explore some of these limitations and suggest that investors might really be better served by buying what they can learn.

Many new investors will find it difficult to delve into the business models or 10-k statements of publicly traded companies for some obvious reasons, the most important being time and/or lack of knowledge. Not many of us can listen consistently to companies’ earnings calls and even if we could, we might not really appreciate what is being discussed. Truly understanding a company’s balance sheet and overall financial direction requires specialized knowledge that most investors do not immediately possess. There are, however, many online resources that can help shorten the learning curve on gaining knowledge about a company you own or have intentions of buying.

A pitfall in just investing in companies that you are comfortable with is the opportunity cost of not owning companies not as prominent. Most investors know that Exxon Mobil sells gasoline and that Johnson and Johnson make a variety of pharmaceutical and health and beauty products. A valid argument can be made that this companies bring predictability and help mitigate risk in one’s portfolio; however, the fact remains that the biggest gains from stocks typically come from companies in the earlier phases of growth instead of the latter phases.

Typically, big well known companies cannot grow at the pace they did when they first became publicly traded. So then the idea is to learn about these companies before they experience their biggest growth and consequently their most explosive stock price appreciation. Cisco Systems and Microsoft are two of the most recognized technology companies on the planet. Microsoft went public in the ’80s. Back then, not many people really understood “Windows” or “email,” which have become essential and necessary in everyone’s lives. In the early ’90s, who knew what the internet was, much less that it would eventually be used without wires and in conjunction with routers? Cisco systems certainly did, and learning conceptually about this company and pulling the trigger would have earned huge returns on an investment. There are also online sites that help navigate thru some of the most recent companies and potential high growth stocks. No one should go out and invest solely into small, growing companies or recent IPOs, but learning about these companies could make you a more balanced investor.

Another tenet of investing purists is the utmost importance placed on fundamental analysis. Metrics such as forward price-to-earnings ratios, book value, price-to-earnings growth rates and free cash flow are just a few of the many data points used to determine if a stock is worth owning. Most of this analysis is based on assumptions at least one year into the future. Using these metrics, fundamentalists and analysts try to peg a “target” price one year into the future.

Instead of trying to figure out what all this jargon really means, why not look at a picture of what a company has actually done instead of what it is projected to do? A stock’s chart tells you what it is valued at the moment you pull it up. Many stock technicians, those who focus on a stock price intensely, would probably agree with the old adage that a picture is truly worth a thousand words. Investors should consider using technical analysis for companies they do not “know” or really have no time or desire to learn either. Doing some homework and learning basic stock charting trends along with terms such as moving averages, breakout and candlesticks can open new doors to stock analysis. (To learn more, check out our Technical Analysis Tutorial.)

Walter Parker Group Summary

Buying what you know is certainly relevant, practical investing advice. However, only buying what you know introduces risk to your portfolio: Many of the biggest returns will be made from companies you have never heard of and do NOT understand. Investors may be wise to invest in companies that they can learn about instead of sticking only with the tried and true of what they supposedly “know.”

Exploring alternative approaches such as learning basic technical analysis and following recent IPOs will help broaden investors’ horizons. by Stephan Abraham
