For many onetime darlings, such as iVillage and theglobe.com, the recent stock slide has been at e-speed. What has changed? Investors have sharpened their focus on individual business models and begun asking when -- and if -- profits will enter the picture. IVillage has lost more than half its stock-market value in the past month and a half alone, down $1, or 6.2%, at $15.25 Wednesday in 4 p.m. trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, compared with $32 at the end of November. It is now down 88% from its high of $130 last April 13. Investors fret that the day iVillage will become profitable keeps getting pushed further and further out. The company says it hasn't changed anything about its message to investors concerning its timetable for profitability. Chris Monaghan, iVillage's chief financial officer, says he believes there is another issue at work: "Some investors are saying that other groups have a chance of breaking even more quickly than a media company like us."
