Which to short, Ocado or Rightmove?

[NoelWatson]

Following on from my riches laying the England win, I am going to have a flutter on one of these two.

Ocado: Yet to make an operating profit, will they survive the competition?
Rightmove: Been reading about Google's free upcoming offering, how will Rightmove be able to continue with current charging strategy?

Thoughts appreciated.

How has rightmove coped with globrix?

Very well it would seem - however, not sure how much backing Globrix has.

The google property portal is appalling, utterly crap. It's just their mappping service with property particulars shoe-horned in rather amateurishly. We were very disappointed when looking at the Australian version of this service last year,

Surely something that can be fixed with enough money thrown at it?

Ocado may be tied to Waitrose right now but they could just as easily set up their own virtual retail outlet sellng branded foods such as Kelloggs Corn Flakes & Birds Eye Frozen Peas if that's what people want.

You've heard of Webvan right? No? didn't think so.....there's a reason! Check it out & you'll see Ocado has the making of another Webvan.

Actually had a delivery from Webvan many years ago
