Bottom line is the next quarter or two should show solid revenue and profit in the 10q
I recently sold my shares in ARTI at a considerabe loss (over 50%). It was a personal choice and something I felt I needed to do to allow myself to trade in a more aggressive manner. I have faith that someday this stocks pps will reflect the relative strength of this company. At this time it is my opinion that Eddie has over extended the company financially with the 5M dollar line of credit as well as the issuing of shares to pay for aquisitions. Until the company shows it can maintain a profit, quarter after quarter, I see a stagnant and channeling pps around this level, maybe a bit higher.
In business there is a time and place to have an aggressive business plan, I think they misjudged the strength of this economic downturn and peoples willingness to buy art. Once the shares get scooped up and the economy upturns a bit I see the pps moving in the direction of .0132. The reason I see it getting to that particular pps is that Delany Equity is sitting at that pps. They issued ARTI the 5M dollar line of credit and would know better than anyone where the pps will end up at. All the talk of .05, .10, .25 or dollars is something that would happen much farther into the future than anyone anticipates. It will get there someday, but today it is what it is and no one can argue that point.
I wish everyone invested in ARTI the best of luck. I had to pull the plug sooner than I would have liked, but made up over 40% of my losses in another stock.
Here is ARTI's chart to illustrate where the problem lies.

I just thought this was interesting, it kind of reminds me of what has happened here before.
posted by Rager
I was an OTC MM for about 10 years ending in the late 80's. Since then I have been strictly an investor. Since I have not been that up to date in MM rules I will only make statements that I feel fairly confident are still accurate regarding these activities. By and large most MM don't have a clue nor do they care to learn, about the fundamentals of the stocks they trade.
They just try to make orderly markets. When dealing with BB stocks it is very easy for a MM to get trapped into being short in dealing in a fast moving market. Reason being; most of the MM's in this stock are what are called "wholesalers" this means they don't have retail brokers "working" the stocks.
So they have to rely on what's known as the "call" from larger retail houses. If a "Big" retail firm like an E-trade calls up a market maker to purchase say 5,000 shares of a stock, they expect to get an "execution" from that market maker. If he turns them down, or only gives a partial then the "Big" firm will go to another MM.
If this second MM "fills the order" then that "Big" firm has a moral obligation to continue to give future "business" in that stock to that MM who performed (his life blood). This will go on until he "fails" to perform and so on.
Contrary to popular opinion the "Big" firms Do NOT neccessarily go to the "Low Offer" to fill a buy order (Or high bid for a sell). They "Go" to who they think will perform to fill the order and expect that MM to "match" the "low offer" in the case of a buy (bid in the case of a sell). Even though this MM might in fact be the "high bid" and not really want to sell any more.
As a wholesaler he must perform or he will get a reputation as a "non-performer" with the "Big" houses and will cease getting "calls" which means he will soon go out of business. I mentioned above that this activity is very significant to BB stocks. I say this because most of the trades in these BB stocks are "unsolicited" and are done through discount houses.
With the above groundwork laid, let me try to explain how market makers get short even if they like the Company; Lets say that a stock (shell) has been lying quietly at $.25 bid $.50 offered. A limit order comes into one of the MM's to Buy at $.50 for a thousand shares. Prior to this trade that MM may be "flat" (neither long or short any shares). He fills the order and is now short 1,000 shares. He may raise his bid hoping to find a seller to "flatten" out his position. But before he realizes it a wave of buyers have come in and cleared out all the $.50 offers. Now the stock is $.50 bid .75 offered. Here comes that "Big" firm he just sold the 1,000 shares to at .50 with another bid for 1000 at .75. He makes this print. Now he is short 2,000 at an average of .625. The market keeps moving and now its .75 bid 1.00 offered. Now he has to make a decision.
Just like investors, MM Hate to take a loss. So 9 times out of 10 he will now sell 2000 at 1.00 making him short 4000 but with an average .81. At this time he would love to see a seller at .75 so he can cover his short and make a few bucks.
But instead the market keeps moving up. Now it is 1.00 to 1.25 and here comes the buyer again at 1.25. He doesn't want to lose the call so now he needs to sell 4,000 at 1.25 to keep his break even point above the bid. Now he is short 8,000. Market moves up to 1.25 bid 1.50 offer here comes the buyer now he feels he must sell 8000 here because "stocks don't go up forever".
Now he is short 16,000. And so on and so on. If the stock keeps moving up, before he realizes it he could be short 50k or 100k shares (depending how big his bank is). _________________________
Finally the market closes for the day and on paper he may look all right in that his "break even" price may be around the closing price. But now he has to figure out how to entice sellers so he can cover this short. It is important to note that if this happened to one MM it has probably happened to most all of them.
Some ways MM's entice sellers; Run the stock up with a "tight spread" in a fast market, then "open" up the spread to slow down the buying interest. After it has "cooled off" for a little while lower the offer below the last trade right after a small piece trades on the offer then tighten the spread so that the sellers feel they can take a "quick profit" by "hitting the bid" on the tight spread.
Once the selling starts the MM's will walk it down quickly by only making small prints on the way down with the tight spread. Another way is by running the stock up in the morning, averaging up their short then use the above technique to walk it down in the afternoon.
Hopefully after doing this for several days, it will demoralize the buyers. The volume will dry up and the sellers will materialize thinking that the game is over.
Contrary to popular opinion, MM usually Do Not Cover in Fast moving markets either Up or Down if they are short. They Short More. They usually try to cover after the frenzy is out of the market. There are many other techniques they use but the above are the most popular.
This technique works about 9 times out of 10 particularly in a BB market. However that is because 9 out of 10 BB stocks are BS. Remember what I said above. Most MM's don't have a clue as to the value of a Company until they get trapped. If the Company has solid fundementals and a bright future. Then the stock will do very well. And the activity that caused the situation will prove to even help the future stock activity because it created an audience."
well tell the dang ceo's to stop gagging the T/A's and stop doing R/S's on shareholders to "improve shareholder value"
the old saying fits in this situation:
"If you want something done right you got to do it yourself"
get in the race or get out of the way.

The guy who cannot spell course or screamed is not smart enough to post photos online? I do NOT buy anything that muppet said.
That muppet called it on the money, buying it now?
the pr's that have come out have not been fluff. what the problem has been is the predictability of the timing of them. synj has been a haven to flippers and imo it kept the pps from taking off with this last pr. it is my hope the company breaks this pattern in the upcoming week with possibly a pr about funding. merger + funding = an easy trip to pennies (again imo). their are those who look at the cup 1/2 empty and have difficulty looking outside the box. those people will be the ones who will miss out. a part of me wants them on board for the ride and another part of me wants them left on the sidelines running and chasing it as it motors right on by. it's hard for some, because of the lay of the land in sub penny stocks to actually believe in a company. the cynical part of them takes over and just as some see penny stocks through rose colored glasses, they see penny stocks through a dark haze. both are unable, or unwilling to see the truth, or just plain scare. we live in penny land, it's a gamble but the payoff is better than any ira, cd, bank or 401k. I try to look at every stock with a fresh perspective, not bringing the baggage from my last investment into the present one. some cant or wont do that. I believe this companies upside HUGELY outweighs the down. if your in it why not be in it with a positive outlook, if your not in it then why bother even talking about it (or posting about it).

I received mine awhile ago and they are restricted until april 2010
financing will be huge and as you said earlier, i agree that the pr's have become predictable and that is what stopped this huge news from taking the pps hire. i think it imperative that synj put out a pr this coming week. they need to catch people with their pants down which will cause them to chase and also deter the flipping.
Your right and i think its the speculation of the potential that has people hanging around SYNJ waiting to see if the speculation turns to fact. So far the company is progressing nicely and the financial aspect of the speculation should come into focus real soon. the company would be wise imo to pr this coming week to keep the flippers off balance and keep momentum

I think the problem some ppy have about your posts is your claim of dilution. you have no facts to support it. that kind of talk, when not backed up with any data or facts tends to smack in the face of reason. this board has heard that claim now what seems like forever and yet the pps is up 863.67% from the initial run from .0003. This stock churned forever between .0002 and .0003 prior to taking off and though dipped quite low recently, never made it back into the 000's. It has constantly been flipped, and walked down, shaken and anything else you want to call it only to walk back up with little effort. So the claims of dilution are unfounded and though they may be your opinion, you hurt your credibility when the trading pattern or facts do not support your claim. If you are actually in this stock, which i'm assuming you are just based on the fact that you post here, then i would think you wouldn't want to cry dilution because it could have a negative affect on the stock and thus hurt your position, and i think everyone would agree that would not be smart. the smart thing would sell your position and run for the hills. as flemdog stated and i agree with him, the accum/dist line has constantly risen even through the deep dips this stock has taken and that is a great sign that directly disputes the claim of dilution. oh yes, imo

I noticed you've abandoned the chat room. Is it safe to assume you've abandoned the MDM? It's probably a good thing, most people I talk to have lost all faith in the model for success this represents.
The only thing leading me to believe anything is the accum/dist
Yes its nice to see. Need more buying to eat up the os and get us higher. been in this stock awhile at a much higher pps and wont sell till i see green
I dont know why I'm wasting 1 of my 5 posts on you but here it is. you keep saying dilution and provide us with ABSOLUTELY no facts. here is SYNJ's chart, please point out on here where you see the dilution you speak of. If you don't see it then say so. Your new, probably trying to make a name for yourself or just in with other bashers trying to spread fear, either way, your wasting everyones time and wearing on everyones nerves. be a man and buy and sell instead of speaking out the side of your neck.

Brian has stated in the past that it is his wish to build something to benefit longterm investors...
DAMASCUS, Md., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Syndication Inc., (Pink Sheets: SYNJ), reports that on February 26th, 2009, the CEO of Syndication asked the BOD to consider declaring quarterly stock dividends, similar to the Dividend currently being issued. "We are a young Public Company with tremendous growth potential, especially with the developments in our green energy program. It is my intension to take every step possible to make our Company successful but more importantly, to allow our long term investing shareholders to share in our maturing wealth
I believe he is smart enough to know what is going on with the flippers and will, at some point, drop an unexpected pr and switch things up, throwing everyone off balance and create a better environment for us longs. this is a BIG project and it will take time, but it WILL happen.
as flemdog said, keep watching the accum/dist. it's still rising

Rossi has, over the last couple of months created a pattern of releasing news once a month. traders are taking advantage of this pattern and there is nothing wrong with it. what does bother me is the fact that they are selling at the bid instead of showing support for the pps by selling at the ask. also, ppl who are counting on a dip are putting buy orders in at a set price much lower than the current pps. if there are enough big orders at those low prices the MM's can and will walk it down to fill those orders if they believe they can get it down that low.
all of us want the pps to rise and IF those that trade and flip this stock would do so in a positive way, the pressure would drive the pps up. that said, it is what it is and until Rossi breaks the pattern, this type of irresponsible trading will continue. I look for the pattern to be broken soon.
I think the facts are in the chart. that being said, this will be a long term investment and those shares will eventually get eaten up. My personal opinion is the aquisition a month plan is too agressive and has overextended the company. I do believe this stock will do something someday, just over a longer period of time.

Just a few thoughts on the latest pr:
On the merger: “When asked to comment on the merger Marshall Jr. said, "The only specific comment I have on the merger, is that I think it's great. It has allowed us to accelerate the developments of the Company and achieve goals much faster then we originally anticipated.”
As we know from the excellent DD done here, SRE S.C. Inc was incorporated on 07/17/2009 and from the pr, Brian Sorrentino is the ceo.
However, as far as I understand, it was done some time ago.” What this means to me is there is AT LEAST a 3 company merger. Pinnacle/SRE/SRE S.C. Inc all of which will fall under SYNJ
“Over the last 4 months we have engaged in supply contracts, 'Cost Plus' off take agreements for 90% of our bio-diesel production with private, government and military agencies,”
This tells me that as soon as the Denami 600’s are installed (which we now know takes only 30 days, from time of purchase and could be done already), 90% of the fuel processed is sold!
My son is in the National Guard and the vehicles he has driven are made in such a way that they can basically dump anything from diesel to bio-fuels into it. Why the military? Maybe it's Mac's connection to Homeland Security
http://www.sgiprivatepolice.com/LETTER_OF_RECOMMENDATION.pdf
"It seems T Boone has a bunch of wind turbines with no homes and his garage is too small to store them. As the Appointed Co-Representatives of Maryland's 6th District of the Pickens Energy Project, can you see what Mac and I see????
We might be able to find homes for a few of them," said Sorrentino, CEO of Syndication Inc. News Pending.”
Translation: “We HAVE found a home for many of them."
Some here posted that the connection with Pickens was only a loose connection and that “anyone” could be a district leader. That may be true, but not anyone was hand picked by T. Boone Pickens to run the 6th district of Maryland. Both Mac and BS were picked by T. Boone. T.Boone didn't get to be a billionair by putting all this drills in one oil field and I'm sure he had alternate sights should Texas not pan out.
SYNJ is for real. They have the connections to go places and it seems the team to take them there. The only real question to answer is how long will your patience allow you to follow the story. Me, I've been in since .0003 and have an idea as to where this company is going and so far the company has not given me reason to believe otherwise. Flippers will flip, traders will trade and investors will invest. So whatever catagory you fall under just do everyone a favor and exit in a healthy manner i.e sell at the ask, especially now that its running strong.
Now there will be those that will say it's "fluff", "nothing of substance", "they spelled a word wrong" etc etc etc, but don't let their negative outlook deter you from noticing the way that their pr's have answered the questions we had from the previous prs's and that is because It's the corporate policy style to let internal developments of the Company season a bit before releasing news.
Even the most cynical of those that post on this board must agree, whether you will admit it or not, that there is HUGE upside potential for this little pinky company.
The run hasn’t even started and when it does it will be so hot it will SYNJ your eyebrows.

Goodmorning everyone,
I watched yesterday as the pps went up how happy everyone was and now, after 1 hour of trading some have crashed from their sugar high of yesterday and are in a bad mood because mommy hasnt given you your money for the day. as always, be patient and you will get your money. Some of you will make your beer money, some your lunch money and the really patient ones will be able to pay off your house. there's no need for all the crying and fighting. lets keep the positve attitudes and not listen to those who have a need to see the cup 1/2 empty. there was a reason why this got the volume and rise yesterday. its hard when you don't know why, but there are deeper pockets that bought in yesterday that are expecting a huge profit.

or maybe the reminder should be now?
I have saved that post and will remind you in a month
I dont post here much but I think the intelligent thing here is to look at the accum/dist. I have almost 1M shares and am down almost 50%. It is not prudent to "average down" when the accum/dist is looking like this. just look at the correlation between this recent down trend and the sudden drop in the accum/dist. I think it smart, if you want to average down, to wait until it bottoms, which, imo, isn't now

thanks flemdog for the insight. as I was looking at the chart this morning it was the one indicator that kept going up and it triggered the memory of your posts. People get impatient, wanting instant money and sometimes, just sometimes, there is a bigger picture to be looked at and I for one feel this is the stock with the bigger picture.
thank you
Goodmorning everyone,
I was looking at some indicators this morning and I remembered that someone on here (sorry for not remembering who) has been telling us to watch the accum/dist indicator. I went to Stockcharts chart school and have posted what an acum/dist bullish signal is. below the description is a link to SYNJ's chart. Remember the last sentence in the bullish signal description.
Acum/Dist
Bullish Signals
A bullish signal is given when the Accumulation/Distribution Line forms a positive divergence. Be wary of weak positive divergences that fail to make higher reaction highs or those that are relatively young. The main issue is to identify the general trend of the Accumulation/Distribution Line. A two-week positive divergence may be a bit suspect. However, a multi-month positive divergence deserves serious attention.
