I don't know if anyone else has ...

noticed that CSTI (Canaccord Genuity) has been the prominent market maker for the past week or so seemingly controlling ADTM by representing both the bid and the ask, and it's there again today. I hadn't realized that they have been the highest active MM with regards to shares traded in the first seven months of this year, and well ahead of even NITE ...

Now, I'm not for sure what exactly this means, but according to this ...

"Canaccord Genuity’s global sales and trading team is passionate about connecting the right idea with the right client at the right time. Our approach combines international intelligence, market savvy and sector expertise, with the support of high-quality, actionable, idea-driven research.

I could be wrong, but I can't see this as being anything other than positive. After all, both BMAK and CSTI can provide their clients, wealthy individuals and institutions, with well researched reports on ADTM to their more sophisticated clients than any information the typical retail investor could ever find, let alone understand.

Mr. Shareef does NOT issues press releases just for the sake of it ... he provides ALL shareholders with important and up-to-date information, whether or not the average investor, current or prospective, can understand it. He's doing his part, and it's the retail "investors'" that must do their part to better understand what they own.

Adaptive Medias, Inc. Among Orange County Business Journal's 2014 Best Places to Work

Program Recognizes the Best Workplaces in Orange County That Benefit Local Economy, Workforce, and Businesses

Marketwired Adaptive Media, Inc. - July 30, 2014 6:15 AM

If I'm not mistaken, there were some jeers and sneers on this board when that particular PR was released, but what I'd like to know is, what CEO wouldn't be proud of an accolade such as that ?? It's not only good for shareholders to know, but also, perhaps it's even more important for prospective employees to know.

Adaptive Medias, Inc. Announces Premium Content Syndication Through New Facebook Integration

Marketwired Adaptive Media, Inc. - August 19, 2014 6:15 AM

It seems I also noticed some "explanations" here on what this relationship with Facebook "really" means to ADTM, and I didn't see one that thought it was significant in any way, because any other ad tech company could do the very same thing. This was in spite of the FACT that Mr. Shereef said, ...

"We already have the social sharing capabilities baked into our video player, and being one of the first content platforms to allow video content to be published directly on Facebook Pages is exciting. We're constantly looking into ways for people to engage with premium video content wherever they happen to be browsing, through whatever device they are browsing on."

I don't have a Facebook account myself, but all I had to do is look up Yahoo!'s (recent addition to ADTM's Publisher list) Page and this is what I found ...

12 million "Likes" and approximately 11.5 thousand "Visits".

Mr. Shareef also stated in the above press release ...

"As of June 2014, Facebook has 829 million daily active users, with 654 million daily active mobile users. According to eMarketer, the U.S. mobile advertising market will reach $17.7 billion this year, with Facebook itself projected to comprise about 18% of the market. comScore reported numbers show that as of March 2014, Facebook's video content views had increased by more than 500% compared to the prior year, and the amount of time viewers spent watching videos on its site nearly tripled."

Now, I can't say I understand everything, or even close to everything, but I generally can get the gist of many things, and I'll have to admit that in this instance I don't know what kind of revenue Mr. Shareef expects to generate over time, but I'm very confident that opening a new channel like Facebook will amount to more that just a pittance, or I highly doubt he would have bothered to make a public announcement about it.

ALL of the above is just my opinion and shouldn't be relied upon for making any investment decisions with respect to ADTM.
