With revenues up and losses down this appears to be a complete market over reaction, because it has not recovered anything yet this is looking to be a longer term trade, I am thinking maybe I might try for some in the low 7’s, maybe end of May.
Anyway the perception of value has been destroyed for a while and it will take some time to recover.

thanks again NRY2..I guess,as you said,it's too much for me to understand in a few posts.But thanks really.
That "OBLIGATION TO BUY" is contractual to them for a business transaction not in the filing. Does not mention if they HAVE yet. If they haven't yet they are going to have to PAY UP BIG TIME now. OUCH !!! Basically its THEIR PROBLEM not yours and should not have any affect on your decisions. Though if I had to guess going out and buying that many PUTS now would cause the PPS to rise if anything. As the underwriters of the PUTS would make sure that that many PUTS expire WORTHLESS. If so the CALLS at a strike price of $10 would be a -- HELL OF A BUY -- but thats just a GUESS.
Normally BUYS and SELLS of options do not effect the PPS of the underlying stock except near expiration dates. But thats another story.
Thanks for taking the trouble,NRY2..fully agree with you that it's too much to explain in a single post,sorry,lol!One last question & then I'll shut up!Exactly the point you made is what has thrown me off,about it being 'optional',because the filing states 'OBLIGATION TO BUY'(filing linked below).Why would they specify in the SEC filing that they are OBLIGATED to buy if they don't have to?
http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?FilingID=9239769-2389-12093&type=sect&TabIndex=2&companyid=677164&ppu=%252fdefault.aspx%253fcik%253d1329919
Options are call "OPTIONS" for a reason. They give you an number of decision options to make. First off , NO , Okumus is not obligated to buy shares of VOCS at any price much less at $12.50. The $12.50 was the "STRIKE PRICE" Okumus entered in at on PUTS a few weeks back when VOCS was trading in the $13 to $14 range. Those $12.50 PUTS they bought were "OUT OF THE MONEY" so they at the time would have been cheap BUT risky. RISKY because if VOCS PPS stayed above $12.50 till May 18th those PUTS would expire WORTHLESS. Reason for buying PUTS are at least two fold - ONE: If you believe a stock is going to drop in value for whatever reason before the expiration date below your STRIKE PRICE , you can make a gain if that drop happens --TWO: You own the STOCK for a long hold but want to protect yourself against any large drop.
To try and keep it simple, if Okumus bought the PUTS at .40 or $40/contract and now those same PUTS are selling for 4.40 or $440/contract then OKUMUS could sell those PUTS and keep a $400/contract GAIN. They still would if they did not sell , HAVE a paper $$$ loss on any stock shares of VOCS they still hold.
Keep in mind there are a number of things one can do with OPTIONS with both the PUTS and the CALLS. You would have to read up on those option choices or take a class on line. TOO MUCH TO PUT IN A POST.
thanks NRY2..Form 3 is Initial statement of beneficial
ownership & 13G is filed when ownership of 5% or more of a security,that I vaguely understand.The thing I'm confused about on Form 3 is-what is that Conversion/Exercise Price of $12.50 of those Put Options mean?Does it mean that on May18 they(Okumus) are obligated to buy the stock @ 12.50?That's the part I'm breaking my head about,not knowing how 'Options' work,so trying to interpret if that is a negative or positive bias for the stock?Are they betting it will be above the 12.50 price on 5/18,or are they betting that the options expire worthless on that date so they just pocket the premiums.
Will take a stab at it - not that I can claim any in-depth knowledge of fillings.
The 13G is simple enough in that if a person or business owns 5% or more of a company they are required to file. So with 3,303,123 shares they actually now own more than 10% of the company. so they are required to file.
The FORM 3, I'm a little fuzzy on but it appears that a filing is required at some point if you are holding a % of either CALL or PUT options in relation to the O/S shares of a company. In this case PUTs which were acquired to protect their share value against any PPS drop till May 18th. How they were acquired is not stated.
Would guess both had a 30 day requirement to be filed
Can someone with a better understanding of these SEC filings than me,explain the 2 filings today on VOCS -Form 3 & 13G ?I'm not too conversant with how 'options' work,so any thoughts/opinions on these much appreciated.Thanks.
Yes. Tomorrow we close GREEN for sure !
I toe-dipped in VOCS today @ $8.40.Watching closely to get more for a swing trade.The selling is overdone,in my opinion.
After yesterday's SELL OFF - If the PPS holds over $8 then a bounce back to $9 or $10 looks very likely short term. IMHO
May take more than one day though. We shall see.
Well "WHATEVER" LOL - VOCS will be on my WATCHLIST today for sure. May or may not jump in. Still doing some fast DD research on it. CALL OPTIONS may prove to be the better play but will see.
Doesn't make sense does it? Especially since they jumped in right away. Not sure of the timing of their downgrades, but both firms were at the earning presentation and posed questions. Their targets must be long, long term. Would be nice if rating firms put timelines with their ratings. At least there are no sell ratings so far.
Slight uptick pre-market.
VOCS
Now there's a contradiction. Two analysts that DOWNGRADE the stock yet maintain an ABOVE $20 price target for what is now a $8-$9 stock. ???
Should that not be a STRONG BUY if that is THEIR claimed TARGET PRICE ?
Vocus (NASDAQ: VOCS) was downgraded by analysts at Raymond James from an "outperform" rating to a "market perform" rating. They now have a $28.00 price target on the stock. 113.4% Upside.
Vocus (NASDAQ: VOCS) was downgraded by analysts at Stifel Nicolaus from a "buy" rating to a "hold" rating. They now have a $26.00 price target on the stock. 98.2% Upside.
VOCS
My calls are for 150 days out so I got time ..
That's pretty much what I was thinking - watching closley for it to break out of this channel in either direction..
Should pop soon lol IMO
I think the sell off is over done unless there is something going on we dont know about. I picked up a few call options to play with.
Vocus Earnings: Here’s Why Investors are Selling Shares Now
By Derek Hoffman | More Articles
April 23, 2013
Vocus Inc. (NASDAQ:VOCS) delivered a profit and missed Wall Street’s expectations, AND came up short on beating the revenue expectation. The revenue miss is a negative sign to shareholders seeking high growth out of the company. Shares are down 30.23%.

Quoting Management: “We have one of the fastest growing marketing clouds today, as bookings in the first quarter for the Vocus Marketing Suite grew 200% over the prior year,” said Rick Rudman, President and CEO of Vocus, Inc. “We remain focused on continuing our expansion beyond PR software into the much larger cloud marketing space which we believe will deliver the next phase of growth and success for Vocus.”

VOCS
If it breaks $8 I have no idea where it will hold... I think a lot of panic selling though, because I can't see why a simple downgrade would cause this much damage.
I tried buying at $8.8 and then quickly sold at $8.5 as soon as I saw it not holding well. If it hits $7 territory I may try and flip again (hopefully it will actually hold and bounce though)
I on the edge of shorting it or buying it or just walking away
What happened here my god
The Chairman is the one getting hammered:
"Chmn Rudman buys 70,000 shares @ $13.93 (2-28-2013)"
Hopefully, he knows more than the market.
VOCS
i cant believe its dropped this low. cant even make a guess at where it will stop anymore. i never expected this!
Wow - getting hammered hard
What do you think now that it's down 34%?
Oversold? I think it could bounce a bit today. Lots of panic selling.
that is promising. i would like to see this get back to at least $12. in the near future. this is not a 9.-10. stock. i dont think its a 12. stock either!!!
Something to anticipate:
"In addition, we expect to see bookings accelerate going forward as the Marketing Suite becomes larger component of our overall business.
I'd like to spend a few minutes now covering a major new initiative for our integrated Marketing Suite that is rolling out on May 1."

Vocus (VOCS) Q1 2013 Earnings Call April 23, 2013 4:30 PM ET
Operator
Welcome to the Vocus First Quarter 2013 Earnings Conference Call. The date of this call is April 23, 2013. This call is the property of Vocus Inc., and any recording, reproduction or transmission of this conference call without the expressed prior written consent of Vocus Inc. is strictly prohibited. This call is being recorded. You may listen to a webcast replay of this call by going to the Investor Relations section of Vocus website.
I will now turn the call over to Steve Vintz, Vocus' Chief Financial Officer. Please go ahead.
Stephen A. Vintz - Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Executive Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer
Good afternoon. We are very pleased that you could join us today to discuss Vocus' results for the first quarter 2013.
Now I'll cover the Safe Harbor Statement, then turn the call over to Rick Rudman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
During the course of this conference call, we will discuss our business outlook and make other forward-looking statements regarding our current expectations of future events and the future financial performance of the company. We want to remind you that these forward-looking statements are based on information available to us today, as of today's date, and are subject to risk and uncertainty. We assume no duty or obligation to update these forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future. We encourage you to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov, for additional information on risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations.
We also intend to discuss some non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is also available in the press release we issued today, which is on our website at www.vocus.com.
Our non-GAAP results and guidance does not include stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, adjustments in deferred revenue and contingent consideration for earn-outs related to acquisitions, as well as the treasury stock effect of outstanding equity securities and stock-based comp on our diluted share count.
I will now turn the call over to Rick Rudman. Rick?
Richard Rudman - Co-Founder, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President
Thanks, Steve, and thanks for joining us today on our Q1 earnings call. Q1 was highlighted by continued success in accelerating demand for the Vocus Marketing Suite, coupled with lower-than-expected bookings for some of our standalone products. While we're moderating our overall outlook for the year, the success for staying with our Marketing Suite gives us additional confidence in our strategy to transition Vocus from a standalone PR software company to a leading provider of integrated digital marketing solutions. I'll start by providing an update on the Vocus Marketing Suite, and then cover some of the challenges that we saw in Q1 and conclude with a broader outlook of our strategic initiatives and outlook for the remainder of 2013.
In terms of the Marketing Suite, we couldn't be more pleased with the market demand and sales success we're seeing. In Q1, we added over 1,300 new Marketing Suite customers, bringing our total number of Marketing Suite customers to over 4,000.
We sold close to $6 million in Marketing Suite subscriptions in the quarter, representing over 230% growth on a year-over-year basis. To put this into context, in 2012, we sold approximately $12 million in Marketing Suite subscriptions, up from approximately $2 million in the prior year.

VOCS
i do not. but it looks like they are going to be short every quarter and year end.
i think its an incredible value at this price!!!! i think this was around the price it was when it went public.
I see why they halted this prior to announcing. Not so good. Was a penny shy of my sell price in the last minute.
Let's hope it settles over the evening. I don't think the miss should make the company be 25% less valuable. Do you?

Seth Godin to Inspire Vocus Community on May 16
"No Secrets, No Shortcuts" Webinar Focuses on Winning Strategies for the Connection Economy
BELTSVILLE, Apr 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) -- via PRWeb --
Vocus, Inc. VOCS -0.68% , a leading marketing cloud provider, announced today a special online event on May 16 at 2:00 p.m. (EDT) with the marketing industry's leading inspirational and strategic voice, Seth Godin. "No Secrets, No Shortcuts" focuses on how marketers can build sustainable winning strategies in the connection economy. The webinar will be open to general public and free of charge.
According to New York Times Bestselling Author Seth Godin, the connection economy does not respond well to industrialized, scalable or impersonal approaches. You might be able to fake it for a while, but real success comes from somewhere else.
Godin will use stories, examples and your own dreams to help you see an achievable series of next steps: a way to thrive, instead of fighting to maintain the status quo. Attendees will learn how to:
-- Figure out what it means to connect
-- Understand the power of permission, generosity and bravery
-- Know what to tell your boss along the way
"We are fortunate to have Seth join us on May 16," said You Mon Tsang, senior vice president of products at Vocus. "He has consistently moved the marketing sector to the next level. With new technology creating incredible opportunities to connect with potential customers in a wide variety of ways, understanding the fundamentals of human connection, including permission, should be at the forefront of every communicator's mind."
Sign up for Godin's "No Secrets, No Shortcuts" webinar today.

VOCS
Company Reports 300 Percent Sales Growth Thanks to the Vocus Marketing Suite
Vocus’ integrated Marketing Suite played a large part in more than doubling Pedersen Worldwide’s sales.
Beltsville, MD (PRWEB) April 10, 2013
Vocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: VOCS), a leading provider of cloud marketing, released a case study illustrating the power of its integrated Marketing Suite. Pedersen Worldwide, the parent company of two international clothing and accessory retailers, reported a 300 percent sales increase since implementing Vocus marketing software.
“Since we have had the Vocus Marketing Suite, our online retail sales have increased by 300 percent,” said Pedersen Worldwide’s Associate Vice President of Communications, Scott Brady. “A lot of that is thanks to the efficiency we’ve gained from the Vocus Marketing Suite; its email campaigns and the other tools.”
Prior to subscribing to Vocus, Pedersen Worldwide used online news releases, maintained its social media presence, and had two email lists totaling nearly 100,000 subscribers. The Pedersen Worldwide team had the right tools, but fell short of their potential due to the fragmentation of their platforms.
Once Pedersen Worldwide started using the integrated tools of the Vocus Marketing Suite, both of the company’s brands, Del Sol (color-changing clothing and nail polish) and Cariloha (bamboo clothing and accessories) more than doubled their sales.
“Just having everything under one roof makes it so much easier,” said Brady. “Vocus saves so much time. We can now devote time to making sure our different marketing channels are functioning together, supporting one another and mutually beneficial.”

Old release from last week. Not to keep repeating, but Vocus' PRweb releases don't get picked up by many news services.
VOCS
from what i remember VOCS tanked when they stated the earnings for 1st and 2nd quarter were going to be lower then what was expected. i think if they come in higher we could be back on our way to the 20's. could just be wishful thinking on my part. but 15's do sound like a good exit point depending on news
Likewise. Better yet would be a run up to the report day. If gains like today continue I suspect I'll sell and not take the chance. Anything close to $15.00 would be a sale for me. At that level I think the chart gets too crowded with resistance (but charts aren't always the best way to go). What are you thinking?

i hope they come in higher than expected.

I think that one of VOCS's problems is their reliance on their "PRWEB.COM Newswire" for releases. Note that iHub did not pick up the release. E-trade Level II platform also did not. Not sure how may have seen the release. It did hit Dailymarkets. Search Google News "Vocus VOCS" and see few updates. Todays trading may be more reflective of the overall market than the news.

Heard of sell the news, but this is ridiculous. Thought it was a good step forward and we'd be green today. Been a couple of large block sells. Way oversold on the intra-day so hopefully the damage is over.
