The Directory.com, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SEEK) FULL REPORT
The company’s other sites in the network primarily include BusinessList.com, Podiatrists.com, Chiropractor.net, Therapists.net, DentistAppointments.com, and Dietitians.net. It also engages in building, hosting, and managing Websites, Web identities, and search engine marketing programs for its clients. The company was formerly known as Elysium Internet, Inc. and changed its name to TheDirectory.com, Inc. in May 2011. TheDirectory.com, Inc. is based in Tampa, Florida.
TheDirectory.com, Inc. announced preliminary financial results for its full fiscal year ended November 30th after the market closes on December 19th.
TheDirectory.com founder and CEO Scott Gallagher stated, “We now begin the final leg of our quest to become an SEC exchange act reporting company. We’ll report our preliminary financial results after the bell on the 19th. This will be the best year we’ve ever had and confirm our 5th consecutive year of top line growth. Our goal is to get our 2013 audit and form 10 finished and filed this month so we can finish the process of up-listing to the OTCBB or OTCQX as a fully reporting Company.” Gallagher continued, “We’re excited to move past the reporting phase and focus 100% of our resources on growing our business and creating additional shareholder value.”
Buying and selling
I sold a portion of my shares to recover my investment because that was my plan going in. I will let the rest of my shares ride, and continue my DD.
The numbers within the expected audit have importance, price swings are expected, and the press releases will give the investor assurance that they are on track and growing.
I am looking for one thing at this point, follow through with fully audited numbers in the middle of January 2014. If and when that single event happens, IMHO a buyout will occur.
SEEK Agendas
There has been more and more talk on what to expect.
Long or Short, people have posted their agendas. Some direct and to the point, and some indirectly with their content and use of language within their post.
Doing your own DD and investing a set amount of monies you are comfortable with is prudent. Having a plan to get in and out are advised. This plan can and, likely will change due to a number of factors.
My personal investment plan for SEEK was to take a Long term position, recover my initial investment and wait it out for a buyout. I have participated in every conf. call over the last 6 months, studied the press releases from past up to the present, and spent weeks of additional research on SEEK. There is nothing telling me at this point to deviate from my original plan. I fully expect management will grow this and be bought out.
SEEK
Someone is nervous
Watch the "bad guys" come out of the woodwork with open ended questions.
The walls fall when least expected
No one, or nothing last if egos take over. Just ask James Cayne of Bears Sterns.
The MM's are laughing right now and pushing SEEK around at will. It's all fun and games until your in the wrong place at the wrong time.
That is not true sir
I suggest getting better informed before making FALSE statements on this SEEK board.
FVRG
Has done very well and in position to accept insiders cashing in on some of their position.
Other stocks have had a 6 MONTH decline, mostly because of their fundamentals, or lack of. I know of one and it did not even trade a share today.
Who is to say
I did not sell a portion of my position of SEEK during the spike, locking in zero chance of loss?
SEEK may never get back to .007, or it may get to .50
I respect investing on a buy and sell in the short term.
Investing with a longer term philosophy can be rewarding as well.
Just a different investing philosophy
You seem to be much better at the short term entry and exit.
I have a good track record of entry and exiting on a long term scale.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
That is where you are wrong
There is no gain or loss if you bought and hold shares.
In addition many still here in SEEK hold shares bought at a much lower price.
Sir Falcon
Please stop with the false statements.
The time, cost and scrutiny it took for FX Express to become a classified 1 medical device does work and is paying dividends to this company.
If you do not like the MLM business model or the company structure, or even other product offerings in FVRG line that is open to debate.
Reasonable
Why I am here LONG has been documented. The past failures are what has the future of this company positioned so well. Finding negative in the recent release of just the numbers is easy to find fault. Knowing the full history of SEEK, the numbers are easy for me to be very optimistic of the future.
Considerations
I respect your numbers and valuations on SEEK.
I 100% agree with Rhump on staying long to make a better evaluation on SEEK.
There is much more to consider in addition to the standard valuation on PPS to market value once you get all the numbers.
MANAGEMET. The past history to current. I rated the past 2 years as a (D). Management was unable to complete many of their objectives but did use the knowledge of those failures to add current value by reconfiguring the web platform,developing a new business model, and understanding the importance of getting the books in order to acquire funding on favorable terms. 6 months ago management addressed the shareholders. Management laid out a new business model that allowed for transparency. I rate the past 6 months a (B+). Management has made public statements and met them.
EXCHANGES. The exchange that SEEK trades on is one that has a track record of not trading like the bigger exchanges. Stocks on the PINKS can have significant % increases and decreases daily. These swings can be due to any number of factors including MM's, investor agendas.... In addition the valuations are often skewed in both directions. Possible growth for companies like SEEK are not traditional and it is not uncommon for a company in SEEK's industry to trade 30 to 40 times current earnings on this exchange. In the last conf. call SG made refernce to this this.
EMOTION. The other factor is emotion.Being close to the vest is one way for management to operate. Being transparent is the other. SG has been on both sides, and in the past 6 months he has been transparent with SEEK. For me this this allows for the investor to determination future actions. Daily flippers and shorts can, and have made for some very large swings. Longs such as myself are looking at the month over month progress, trying not to get caught up in the daily.
GLTA
I also
have called a "friend".
I sent several of the posts on concerns over the MM manipulation with SEEK to that friends email. I got a "we are on it" response.
OOOOOOOPSS
In the last conf. call and another release and 100 plus post you will find information as to the expected UPLIST and future dates for transparency of this company SEEK.
oops
Another one who has not done any DD on SEEK.
In the last conf. call the CEO discussed the terms of the 5 million line of credit SEEK announced. NOT TOXIC by any stretch of the imagination.
In the last SEEK conf. call
SG clearly stated a buyout was his exit strategy in the Q&A at the end.
I have followed this very close. The step by step, methodical, moves made by SG over the past 6 months are very impressive.
SEEKers
SG's past failures have a lot to do with SEEK's future success. 2 years of internal growth have taken place and it was painful, but positioned SG to succeed with SEEK going forward . SG's failure to recognize the complexities in growing a business years back are what has SEEK ready to explode in the near future. The business model SG announced, and implemented, 6 months ago is right on track. Partners, financing, and platform development now allow for major growth quickly. SG has been very clear on his exit strategy of a buyout. PPS climbs monthly because the value builds.
News like SEEK traffic up 300% according to ALEXA.COM
is what will really get this noticed
Thanks for FVRG
I selected this stock after Neb and Ron discussed the pro's and cons. I did a month of DD and jumped in at cost avg. of .44 IMHO this can easily be the best stock I ever owned.
I am one for passing on to those who helped. We are always looking for new investments to diversify. May I suggest doing your DD on SEEK.
SEEK
Is not any different than the 100's of other stocks in terms of the concerns with investors on MM's action.
I made a call to friend in high places about general questions when it comes to MM's and manipulation in a stock price. He went over what was allowed and what was considered actions of violation. To my surprise he asked "is there a specific company that your inquiring about?" I said that I invested into a small company SEEK was the ticker, but my call was more to become better informed about MM's. I thanked him and he in turn said my pleasure and then said "he would keep an eye out"
Several on this board have watched FVRG grow and agree this has the potential to be a billion dollar company.
Getting the word out to the masses, and the company showing exponential month over month growth will get the PPS to keep moving in the correct direction. With that said, I am mystified as to why more of the distributors of FVRG products are also not share holders?
Good day for FVRG
Great response to Falcon
Whats going to happen
to the SHORTS in SEEK who did not do their homework?
AGAIN
The LONG and SHORT of SEEK (IMHO)
The SHORTs window narrows
LONGSs wait an accumulate
SEEK that answer
You will find that the window narrows on anyone SHORT
You will see
a lot of negative on the SEEK board this week only because those who are SHORT know the game is going to end.
FVRG
Next spike is coming IMHO
The LONG and Short of SEEK
I am LONG, and I am not versed enough to FLIP, but will buy more on any significant dip.
The SHORT game will end soon. They have had a field day, but realize this will uplist. No way they want to be in a big position when that happens.
This is going to pennies+++ IMHO
I agree with you
The big difference from 2 years ago to today is SG has money in the bank, and a revenue stream.
IMHO SG way under played the revenue that will come, and will be able to do a lot to get on a bigger exchange.
SEEK
Is showing how they will monetize with the current news release.
SEEK has 1000's of domain names. They will build sites specific to one of those domains, market the brand and draw in local business owners to advertise.
SEEK will attend confrences related to a specific target domain to get the brand recognized. In conjunction they will run a national media campaign, getting SEEK recognized in the investment community.
As traffic and new customer sign ups increase, they will be able to draw in larger advertisers. Execution of this business plan "build" is in full affect.
SG spoke about the companies exit strategy, and it will only take a few of these domains under the SEEK umbrella being monetized before the major players put up a significant offer to buyout.
SG addressed the key points on the call
SG explained the past and directed ,in detail, the future of this company.
The market cap today
is approximately what next years NET earnings will be according to my calculations. A conservative 3 to 5 times multiple puts this at 5.75 to 8.75 per share.
Just looking over previous notes
Gibraltar Advisors to assist the Company in the area of mergers and acquisitions, corporate financing and deal structuring.
IMHO something big is coming. Gibraltar Advisors are doing their job.
Just some DD
Hello Metro -Wins-Trademark-for-"Hyperlocal"
Time will tell
I also agree with you.
Management execution and follow through will cause a PPS increase.
Take a look at FVRG (more news again today). This company is a mirror image to what SEEK management went through. They failed for years to execute, realized they needed to build the infrastructure and spent money to develop products that the market wanted. Now FVRG is in a sales explosion rate. SEEK management failed to execute in the past few years, decided to bite the bullet and build from within. It took 2 years of building a new platform and business model. They have come out of the dark and explained, given forward expectations and remained on track to this point.
The big difference between FVRG and SEEK is the amount of shares. FVRG only has 15 million, of which 4 million floating. SEEK share amount is not ideal.
Take a look
I recently posted about companies and their PPS value. I briefly tried to explain that the PPS does not always reflect the true value of a company. I put myself out there with FVRG. I was told by many it is a MLM. I spent time doing my own DD and invested what I was comfortable with. The company recently announced that their plan has come together and they are executing at tremendous pace. The PPS was way behind the true value. With no news today the stock is up 50% plus. I expect the PPS to be double this in the next 6 months. It could be tomorrow, it could be in March of next year, but my DD says that this is worth 2.00 a share.
IMO SEEK PPS is below its true value as it sits today. The company was open on a buyout offering of 2 million plus for the business two years ago. Partnering with Duda Mobile, Yext, and City Search, continuous updates to become fully reporting, and current quarterly release all make this speculative to a much higher value. Showing even a small profit values this company much higher. The PPS is low because of several factors. Past shareholders have sat in dead water for years, SG did not execute when he said he would, and current outstanding shares are high. I believe the PPS will move up when SG follows through with his plan. The PPS may move the week SG follows through, or it may not be for 6 months after. I invested what I was comfortable with. Lets see what happens.
Here is a little story for you.
There was a guy named Smitty who was labeled snake oil salesman. He took over a shell and released news for years on what the company was involved with, Green Energy related. After a few more years of failure to complete the announced projects the gov’t decided to step in and investigate. They arrested, and after a lengthy trial, convicted Smitty of 7 crimes. The guy was a snake, or was he. Once convicted, Smitty was forced to reveal the events that caused failure in his appeal to prove to the “people” his innocence. 6 years later and 6 of the 7 convictions have been proven to be inaccurate, and dismissed by the courts. The final charge remains to be judged upon. Smitty was guilty of inability to recognize the complexities that were in front of him to complete project financing, not a criminal act just failures in business.
SG failed to recognize the complexities he faced in the early stages of development. He admitted those failures, explained the needed time to develop the company in a manner that would allow it to mature. SG has recently made some very specific announcements related to the current business and its structure. His credibility and his company hang in the balance. If he fails to follow through the PPS will reflect that. If SG keeps to the stated plan and succeeds the PPS will reflect that.
I will assure you that if SG gives the snake oil salesman pitch no safe harbor act will protect him. SG is accountable to his statements, “people” are watching. He will have to clearly show each move, success or failure.
You say SG is a snake, I say he is growing a business and has experienced the complexity to success. I am not fooled to think SEEK is a given success. I bet with a few million shares that he will be able to grow the value of this company. You made that bet years ago when you bought shares. At some point we will both have the answers on SEEK, and SG.
Not a gamble
Maybe a educated guess based of DD
Companies take time to develop. SG has been straight forward about past failures and explained why. You either believe he is going to do as stated, which will provide significant value to the company and cause the PPS to rise, or you call him a POS.
Look at FVRG. It has been called a MLM for years. I listened to the CEO and his plan to develop the company internals for years. The last 12 months the company has been telling the public an explosion in sales and new product development was coming. Today they confirmed in an announcement that the YEARS of hard work are paying off. The PPS is still not even close to the value of the company, but it will be.
WOW
The news just keeps getting better and better. The PPS is sure to grow as the company continues to grow sales with higher margins.
