I told my entire extended family

I updated the iBox...


FYI, the information that was there before was EXTREMELY outdated. It was from 2004, and referenced to a company called Intellisync, which no longer exists, and neither does their domain "intellisync.com" ... Basically the iBox info had nothing to do with SYNACOR, except that some other non-existent company was using the same ticker symbol.

This is basically why I wanted to be a moderator - to be able to fix the darn irrelevant info on the iBox. Just hadn't gotten around to it until now. In any case, hope the new information is more relevant and pleasing to the eye as well ;)


P.S. Most of the stuff I just pulled from their own website. Feel free to add yourself as a moderator and correct if you wish. I'll try to add more content, charts, etc. when I have time.


P.P.S. If anyone wants to actually read the irrelevant info that was there before. Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

Scottrade won't let me do margins on a sub $3 stock, but it's all good. Power buying on one of these could be dangerous.

GLTA in this and holding. But just a tip from my play with SNPK, I WISH I had bought on that day. Because most people don't realize it but when a stock recovers on a red day, and you've bought at the lows, the way back up is actually greater gains...

Ie, if a stock is at $10 and falls in the day to $8 and you buy at $8, for people holding at open it was a 20% loss, but for simple rebound to $10 that's 25%

I made a very decent amount the day SNPK made its second crash... literally a couple grand in matter of minutes.

Heck, when I see GWBU dip any of these days I'm calling into work as sick and just making a months paycheck right there. I cannot wait.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by you "hear out there"? And, can you please explain what you mean by a "technical bounce"? Thanks.

I completely agree.

Because 1 billion market cap is usually around the first shake out price.

I hope we close above 11 and stay up this week. It's been such a rocky road with this play. I hope at least the Facebook IPO helps give us some momentum. Overall it seems like SYNC is influenced a lot by the markets, even though it has breakout days.

Wow, what an observation. I wouldn't don't it. Eric is freaking genius.

Wonder when we see a shakeout, that's when I will buy in. How many of you are able to trade this on margin? If at all?

I think Fridays are good shake days. Question though, what was the actual 'alert' PPS?

Cool thanks, I hope so.

How is GWBU Confirmed?

Just saying that so far the only sites sending emails are the ones who sent out RARS. I'm not buying it quite yet.

I got GWBU from AwesomeStocks as well (not APS) but the guys pushing OREO a couple days ago

Boy am I glad I bought back in yesterday ...

How Big is the APS Email List?

Just wondering if anyone has any guesses... 10,000 subscribers? 100,000? A million?

They obviously have the power to push a stock through the atmosphere with a single banner or email blast...

Question: Why is Stock Promoting Illegal? Or is it?

I mean, just wondering why SEC or anyone would be after these guys... is it because they have ties to the companies, right? Otherwise, just promoting without any connection to the companies would be legal right?

I bought back in at 10.68, hope we see the 13s again.

Don't you guys get it??

Eric is clearly reading this board. A lot of people said "if PennyPic" sent an email you would buy. That's another FU play.

RARS was possibly the APS play, but they just cut it off as soon as they realized it would get front-loaded early. I think from what the way it seems, whether this time it was Preferred and last time it was PennyPic, they send one pawn newsletter ahead of the pack to test the waters and make sure it's not getting too front-loaded. If it is, they pull the plug and give a big FU to early buyers because they need control.

Anyway, regardless of the theories, I lost about $3.4k on SYNC today and I can't wait to make it back on APS. Another thing is I know this was discussed earlier today but I wasn't around that much to post about it or respond - yes, I agree that I think "The Challenge" and trying to get in early to the point of guessing the pick ahead of time could have been what screwed us over. Not saying Ken, Chris, etc. don't have the best of intentions here, I think these guys are great and the most genuinely helpful peeps on iHub. But I think considering Eric probably reads this board, it's like we've got our game book wide open and he can read into exactly what we're doing. So it's not really the smartest move to try and out play Eric. The guy is a pumping genius.

I think if we just lay back and wait for APS to send a pick we can all easily make our 50% and sum. I made about 162% on SNPK myself by just holding from 56 cents. Didn't even get in that early but weathered the big FINRA PR that scared most people. But even if you got in after you'd still make more than 100%.

Rather than trying to predict what the play is, and spreading all these rumors etc. I think like the board stickies say, just lay back, chill and wait for the email. Pretty simple. I do have my thoughts one when the next pick is coming, but I think again, speculating is counterproductive and could get us f'd up again, so I'll just keep it to myself. Point being though, the difference is hardly significant as to when you get in, as long as you're not buying on the upper peaks.

I sold today. Got out at $9.16

I'd made about $1400 on a separate buy/sell during the Monday run up, but stupidly bought back in on Tuesday thinking I was getting cheapies at $11.05. Lost all gains and then some today. But at the last closing minutes I thought enough is enough, may as well cut my losses. Who knows if this hits back to $8 on Monday.

I think the chart completely broke the pattern. I don't know what is going on really, whether that was a major shake, not sure because like someone said 350k shares really isn't much in the bigger picture. Not when Intel owns 2M shares, there's bigger players here.

I lost about $3400 on this, and the last time I lost that much was on another Nasdaq stock. Here I was falling into the same trap of thinking Nasdaq has more stability. All I can say is F Nasdaq. I'll keep waiting for APS and make it all back again. I made about $15k on SNPK rise and about $3k on the 'dead bounce' day, so I'll just wait for the next APS pick.

The problem here is I think SYNC execs are not playing along with NIA/Lebed. I think with BVSN, there was a connection so they were putting out PR's coordinating with the newsletters. And with BVSN it was floating more easily under the radar. But with SYNC it just seems like NIA made a pick thinking it goes up and of course they don't give a #2 about who loses money as long as they make theirs. SYNC is a much more prominent player with good financial standing, making it harder for NIA to move it that much - with only 350k shares it's gotta be hard to make a dent when you're playing against Bank of America, CitiGroup, etc.

At least with the pennies it feels much easier to predict, or so I can say so on experience. But hey, as I always say at the end of my posts, I could be completely wrong on all this. I hope for the sake of those who are still in this, that I am wrong and that it skyrockets next week. And hey for my sake too I may buy back in if it does trend back up.

Another thing though, on L2, there didn't seem to be any bid support today. On penny plays, you can clearly see bid support unless it's a dump day. Here I think if anything the dumper was Bank of America ... I hate them even more (already hated them for screwing over my parent's mortgage which was with CountryWide, and since BoA bought them, people could no longer file suit against CW)

The whole market is down badly.

Just think back to the Friday when SNPK dumped from 70s to the 28 cent low point. Tons of people got scared and sold. I stuck with it and was rewarded along with others who had patience.

And this is not a penny or company losing money ... They have excellent financials, their first ever stockholder meeting coming up on May 24, and who knows what other great news. The "pump" started less than 10 days ago. There is much more to come IMO. If you sell now you will regret it.

Either this is a damn good shake or we're screwed. I'm holding though. Never sell on fear. There has got to be something big coming. Otherwise the promo was a huge failure and I doubt that.

Good advice.

Yeah I really hope it is the pick especially with the FB IPO it definitely could go through the roof. The timing is perfect for this kind of sector pump.

Yeah, that's why I asked, APS plays are generally smooth as butter getting in/out. I figured that may be a good indicator of what we're dealing with and whether I should decide to play.

Oh ok, thanks, that's good to know.

Question for those who've played RARS so far... how easy has it been to get in/out in terms of liquidity? Did your orders fill quickly or was it slow?

Just curious because I may try for a quickie.

I'd highly recommend using a limit order on these plays.

Yes, I think we're doing relatively well considering the market's current situation.

Here's an L2 Snapshot...

I agree, GTCP seems more like a typical APS play than RARS. Either way I'm waiting it out. I think we get the real deal next week. Even if RARS is the pick, getting it cheap next week or Friday after another huge dip seems like a better idea.

Would you rather be in RARS or SNPK right now?

Please don't lose patience. Logically, this pump has success written all over it. I have no doubt we reach $20 by EOM.

Plus, the stress level with this is much lower. You know it's not gonna dump 80% in day just when you stepped away from your monitor. Whereas there is no real stability in APS plays and you have to monitor VERY carefully if you want to do well.

Just relax and wait for the swing next week. The APS thing is complete mess right now anyway.

Excellent reminder... that one is fully controlled and owned by APS. Just started trading... I'd keep a very close eye on it. Actually I've had it on my watchlist for sometime.

Great post.

Re: RARS Trading History...

Sure, here's a screenshot from CNBC.com ... trading history goes back at least until January 6, 2012.

I don't disagree with that.

5 Reasons I Think the Real Pick is Yet to Come

1) Difference in mailing addresses between PreferredPennyStocks and APS/Sites...

APS and Other Sister Sites:
- Centro Azteca S.A | 10 Anson Road #16-16/6087, International Plaza | Singapore, Singapore 079903, Singapore

Preferred Penny Stocks:
- Victory Mark Corp LTD, 4 Lords Bank, Ladyville Belize City, Belize

I looked back at all the past emails I've received from APS/Sites as well as PreferredPennyStocks, and the mailing address (at the very bottom of the emails) has been consistently the same as those shown above since AMWI. Now, that may not be an indicator of anything and could just mean that Preferred is alerting this first like the way Killer/PennyPic first alerted SNPK before APS/Sites rolled in on it. If anything at all, I think it leads me to believe more and more that Eric doesn't work alone on these sites/emails. But my doubts go beyond just the mailing addresses (which could indicate that Preferred is acting separately)

2) This is not the first time APS has 're-pumped' the same stock for similar gains as its first run. Anyone remember POTG? I've been following APS for a while but didn't start playing until SNPK, but I definitely remember POTG getting pumped twice, with another symbol or two in between the initial pump and re-pump. Also I just dug up some evidence from one of the excellent resources Ken has posted on the iBox: http://www.promobuyer.net/awesome

So with that said, it is POSSIBLE that SNPK could get re-pumped and it has a lot bigger gain potential at this level than RARS, which is already at 56 cents... which brings me to the next point:

3) RARS is already at 56 cents on Day 1 of the promo. The fact that it went up 100% is no big deal since NSRS climbed roughly the same or more in its initial bounce. The problem I have is with the high PPS in relation to potential target range. It's rare to see penny promos go over $3. Yeah yeah LEXG... that was never APS' play, and it's speculative if it can be repeated in this market especially. What I'm saying is, either we need a really big consolidation/shake, or this can potentially only go up a maximum of 600%, which is less than any past APS plays have promised. It just sets the bar too low to start. It's like getting in a penny play at a $1... higher risk and less potential gains.

4) It's too early for a shake. I don't think this shake would scare enough holders off especially this early. From all past plays I've followed, the real shake on actual picks occurs when all sites have pumped the stock, it's gone up a bit, and then it shakes to coil the spring before a huge run. In this case, only 1 site has pumped, not everyone has really dived in yet. A shake wouldn't make sense, because the stock is at a very high-risk of front-loading again once people catch drift... it's too early, because many people are still waiting for the confirmation.

5) RARS is not a complete shell of a company, and it's traded for several months prior, which is unlike any past APS pick. Again, POTG was pumped twice, and as we know APS already has complete control over it, so between the two, comparing on this aspect only, SNPK has the leverage.

---------

I could be completely wrong. And I'm very happy to be a part of this board where we express sound reasoning and logic rather than all blindly cheer lead a stock up or bash it down. Lots of great knowledge on here.

I'm ready to buy in once I feel comfortable, and there's definitely no rush. Whether the pick is really RARS or not, I'll wait for the major dip, which is bound to come. As you all should remember, APS / PennyPic announced SNPK around 37-40 cents. When we dumped and shook the weak hands it went all the way down to 28 cents, which was lower than the initial announcement PPS. I have no doubt I'll get in cheaper when I figure out what the actual pick is, whether it's RARS, SNPK, or whatever else. Patience is key...

Yeah Synacore basically built that site/app.

Glad I didn't jump on the bandwagon so soon. Looks like many of us assumed ... Another AWSR ... I have to say, I actually think the best entry point on APS plays is on the first dip. That way you don't try to chase the initial run which is what burns most folks. I'm pretty sure we won't see the REAL next APS play until later in May. GLTYA
