Omniture Inc. (NASDAQ: OMTR) seems like another niche ad-tech play that has gone on over the recent years, but it could possibly be much more. Adobe Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE) gave a $21.50 per share cash tender buyout price valued at some $1.8 billion. What is interesting is that there is already a thought over whether the company deserves to get a higher price. The company’s online marketing suite and other operations make it an interesting acquisition for anyone wanting to get further into advertising intelligence for business optimization that allows for smarter and smarter marketing.

It has been almost impossible for most stocks to avoid the carnageand mayhem of late. It is interesting just how many widely held stocks have broken under the $10.00 share price level today. This can screw up optionstrading and begins to genuinely worry investors who were alreadyworried. Shares never dip under $10.00 because things are great.
Limited Brands (NYSE: LTD) broke $10.00 Monday, and it keeps looking farther and farther away at $8.80. Candles, body products, and undies… not recession-proof.
Omniture (NASDAQ: OMTR) re-broke the $10.00 barrier this week. Business optimization must not be good when the recession is there whether you optimize or not.
These are some of the top downgrades we have seen this Monday morning with about 2 hours until the open:

Omniture (OMTR-NASDAQ) was up on its own after expanding a securities offering to 8.5 million shares and pricing at $18.15 per share. The company sold the shares through Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse as joint book-runners, and JMP Securities, Deutsche Bank, and Montgomery & Co. were co-managers.
This stock was actually higher going into the offering, but they got a new friend today: Jim Cramer. It doesn’t even really matter what was said in his video after this because he called it the next aQuantive (AQNT). If that isn’t enough to get a stock going in today’s age then very little else is.
Shares of Omniture (OMTR) are up 6% to $19.25 on 8-times normal volume. Omniture is an online business optimization company whose platforms include SiteCatalyst and DataWarehouse.
