Dice Holdings Trading down on Disappointing Earnings

Dice Holdings, the company that now owns Slashdot and runs specialty job boards, seems to have hit a rough patch. An article from earlier this month reports Dice Holdings is trading down by 4.1% due to disappointing earnings. Yahoo's stock charts don't make it look like the situation is too bad, but look to Dice's CEO for guidance and you'll be surprised. Turns out Scott Melland is feeling bearish and recently sold over $500,000 in Dice stock. Here is the transcript of the earnings call, in which they unleash the bad news about Dice earnings.

Personally, I recommend they plaster Slashdot with more obnoxious banner ads .

Lucky to have an ad blocker on my own machine, but when I try accessing the site on my mobile, the floating ads on the site make it impossible to read just by taking up screen space, and occasionally cause the whole page the flicker as the ad updates every 2 seconds for some reason.

Add to that that they are now /deleting/ some comments on /.... (personal experience).

I still go there right before SoylentNews or Pipedot, but 2/3 of the time there's some shit like this making me absolutely fed-up with a site that used to be my favourite on the '.net. Geez. Never again.
