LOL...This is nice to see eh?
Most read boards
1 Atrinsic, Inc. (ATRN) 48,588
2 ALL THINGS AWESOME (ATA) 47,324
3 Facebook Inc. (FB) 45,390
How nice is it that Atrinsic sits atop the leader board and ahead of FB on the day FB IPO hits the public market? haha
Nope Rudyboy...nothing to see here...No proof other than the word of one of the most trusted members of this message board. If I were you I'd move along.
DUDE, you are AWESOME!!! I appreciate it a bunch!!!
LOL...At about the 1:40 mark in that video is what it's going to look like tomorrow when the first big surge in price happens with Facebook stock!!! People will be frantically jumping on top of one another just to get in the water!!! The smart ones will wait until the crocodiles (Early profit takers) are full before making their crossing. haha Right OMW??? LOL
Someone asked earlier today where I was...I ran out of posts pre-breakout and didn't get to hoop and holler like the rest of ya. Maybe when ATRN finally takes me to the bank I'll get a full subscription to IHUB so I can post unlimited. haha
But, I'm certainly still here and STILL positive. Good to see some that haven't been so positive as of late back in the game and being positive again. Glass half full...faith is back. I'm likin it. Consistency is important!!! No one promised all GREEN days!!!
NOW GO ATRN!!!
This is Facebook at 11 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow morning. It will be just like a herd of Wildabeast at a river crossing. LOL
Some will make it to the other side in good shape (Usually the first ones in the water), others will drown or get eaten by crocs, others will get left behind (Usually the timid, or weak) and the majority will cross but be badly beaten and having swallowed a ton of water trying to cross (Those are the long holders...the ones that will have to stay in long to see any gains)
It's all about supply and demand. There are a finite number of shares (Supply) and that ONE CROSSING on the river is the demand. Shares may start at $38 but demand will push it way beyond very quickly!
Watch the video and imagine when they release the flood gates tomorrow!!! LOL Note at the beginning (pre bell) all those shrewd investment bankers cutting line, traversing the steep bank to get to the front so they can get in the water first!!!
LOL...I'm glad you figured it out without me having to post her name...the curse of all boards she frequents. haha
Good luck partner!
Be careful in this one!!! I heard a rumor that Waldo and minions are hitting this one hard!
For all you SEC rules smart folks, can you answer these two questions? Just a theory, but need to know the smart answer on what you all think.
Issue 1:
Ok, so the company has gone dark...Deregistered all unsold shares from the S-3 from July 11 as well as ALL the registration statements that offered employee stock plans.
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1022899/000114420412018270/v307286_posam.htm
Question 1 is, wouldn't the debt have had to been paid in full to
"terminate the Registration Statement and deregister all of the shares of Common Stock that remain unsold as of the date hereof."???
Question 2 is, why would the company terminate all of the unsold shares from the S-8 registration statements (Employee benefit plans) when they still have employees that work for the company?
Issue 2:
Ok, so it's apparent that somehow an extra 60,000 to 70,000 shares slipped into the market without being registered.
Question 1 is, if they were sold to foreign investors would those "certain buyers" be held liable by the SEC for not filing beneficial ownership forms if they sell those shares back into the U.S. market?
Question 2 is, if those shares were offered as convertible notes isn't their a certain time period that those notes have to be held before they can be converted?
Question 3 is, would it be against SEC rules for the company to buy back any shares sold at this point so that once those shares are back in company hands they automatically become deregistered, decreasing the O/S due to the recent POS AM filing?
Thanks in advance for any intelligible responses.
Question 2...
Shareholders ARE Stakeholders as well!!!
A party that has an interest in an enterprise or project. The primary stakeholders in a typical corporation are its investors, employees, customers and suppliers. However, modern theory goes beyond this conventional notion to embrace additional stakeholders such as the community, government and trade associations.
Don't lose your faith now man!!! You've weathered the storm like a champ up to this point. That's what the company wants...for everyone to lose hope so they'll let loose of their shares.
Why the sudden volume spike???? Over 12 million shares traded in the last 15 minutes! WTH? News out?
One would think eh? I didn't share my information.
I'm not sure if that'd be the case unless this turns into a class action issue...You better ask Dr. P. LOL
I don't have proof that he's holding...I didn't see his screenshot.
LOL...Ok
It really is of no consequence to me...just to those that are hanging their hat on your correspondence with a lawyer.
Dark is dark IMO and now you are dark with regard to your correspondence with YOUR lawyer.
Ok, so we now have our answer from Dr. P. It was just as I, and a few others expected: Once the lawyer made contact with the company lawyer silence would be required as any information provided would be considered insider information. Most likely the Atrinsic lawyer will also file a legal gag order to ensure neither Dr. P or his lawyer divulge any information.
Does that say enough for everyone here to believe that the dark, quiet period is for a reason?
Ok, for ANYONE in the bankruptcy camp...HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO ILLUSTRATE TO THE REST OF US WHY YOU THINK ATRN IS HEADED FOR BK. You must use solid information to back up your claims and not vague comments such as "ATRN has the same chance of bankruptcy that a purchase or merger if it does not pay the debt."
All you have to do is provide a link, or solid information. Come on!!! I invite you to show us!!! Create a valid scenario of how this company is headed for BK and post it!
No one here is laughing!!! If we were laughing we would all put JAJAJAJAJA at the end of all of our posts!
GO ATRN!!!
Nah...Chad posted the information about Atrinsic from Baker's Linkedin. I DID just find the article but I bet someone already posted it. It's difficult to remember what's been posted and what hasn't. I just put the story together between the company description and the article about Facebook and mobile advertising (The fact that Zuckerberg is adamant about mobile being his #1 priority in 2012 and they plan to invest heavily in mobile!)
Here's a good analogy...At 9:30 a.m. Eastern time on Friday morning the Facebook IPO will be just like a herd of Wildabeast at a river crossing. LOL
Some will make it to the other side in good shape (Usually the first ones in the water), others will drown or get eaten by crocs, others will get left behind (Usually the timid, or weak) and the majority will cross but be badly beaten and having swallowed a ton of water trying to cross (Those are the long holders...the ones that will have to stay in long to see any gains)
It's all about supply and demand. There are a finite number of shares (Supply) and that ONE CROSSING on the river is the demand.
Watch the video and imagine opening bell Friday!!! LOL Note at the beginning (pre bell) all those shrewd investment bankers cutting line, traversing the steep bank to get to the front so they can get in the water first!!!
LOL...I'm blushing PPO. haha
Seriously though, as Chad said. We are a team!!! I am comfortable without doing anymore DD myself but I actually enjoy it so when I find something, or I tag team on something Chad (or someone else) finds I share. Some people may call that hype, or pumping. I call it sharing positive information about our investment. LOL
Yes, and it appears that Atrinsic has EXACTLY what Facebook wants IF what they say about themselves is indeed true!!!
"Atrinsic Interactive's (Atrinsic, Inc. NASDAQ: ATRN) agency services allow its advertisers to reach customers using an integrated online approach, including search marketing, affiliate network, social media, display media, and mobile marketing."
"uniquely positioned to leverage its marketing services and proprietary content channels to form a fully integrated, multi-platform vehicle for advertisers" AND "the only interactive agency in the online landscape to offer all distribution channels with integrated brand protection and business intelligence technologies"
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said improving the social networking giant's mobile application is his "first priority" for 2012.
Zuckerberg laid out his goals for the months ahead on Friday in front of about 200 investors who showed up to Facebook's pre-IPO presentation in Palo Alto, Calif. He said engineers are putting the final touches on new products designed to drive revenue from Facebook's 488 million mobile users, but he did not divulge specifics on the company's plans.
In a recent road show video recorded to drum up support for its IPO, Facebook said it will look to mobile advertising as a major revenue source moving forward. "Mobile is a key area of growth for Facebook"
Ebersman said Facebook plans to invest heavily in mobile, even if its moves have a negative impact on the company's operating margins. "While we aspire for Facebook to be a high-margin business over the long run, we won't hesitate to make additional incremental investments needed to drive user engagement," Ebersman said. "Mobile is a good example of this investment approach."
Tomorrow looks to be a better day in the market. Looks like the Euro is making a move back up as well as gold and oil. Hopefully sentiments will help turn this 4 day slump into gains tomorrow through Friday. I think a lot of investors are holding funds out to play the Facebook IPO come Friday. I expect we may see another down day by EOD on Friday as the IPO picks up steam. But next week hopefully profit takers from the FB IPO will start putting money back into the penny market.
LOL...you worry too much. You know I'm not the type to flip out. let's hope some big rewards come from my non-tweeting and facebook posting throughout lent
I'll put this all in perspective though...Let's look at Facebook.
Facebook has over 2000 employees
Yet evertime you read an article about information regarding their IPO the author only cites "anonymous employees". So, out of 2000 employees a few have "spilled the beans", but not often in relative comparison to the market in general.
Announcements are strategic and Zuckerberg is the consumate strategist!!!
Let's look at Instagram...Had 13 employees at the time they were acquired by Facebook. Can you tell me when the first news was out about the acquisition? Yep, you got it. When FACEBOOK announced it!!! No rumors, no nothing.
NOT UNTIL ZUCKERBERG ANNOUNCED IT!!!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/09/mark-zuckerberg-instagram-facebook_n_1412780.html
Now, let's look at Atrinsic. We'll go with a high number of around 50 employees. If I'm management, or even better I'm the acquiring company, how do I control the information flow...I offer incentives for people to remain silent. For instance...Ryan Mayberry posts on his twitter on 7 May...
http://twitter.com/#!/ryanmayberry
Ryan Mayberry ?@RyanMayberry
He only had two more posts before that one in May and before May, his last post was 19 FEB!!! Somehow I don't see Mr. "Dirty in New Jersey" as the type of person that religiously follows the tradition of "lent". LOL
Baker stopped posting, Rifkin only posted when necessary and Atrinsic Affiliate stopped posting on 29 MAR!!!
Company that good, then why leave it?
Do I think Aaron Baker is out completely? No...Here's why. He's the lead exec in all of this ROI improvement/brand protection direction the company has been moving toward in the past year. Along with Samantha Morris, they have been a force to be reckoned with. Remember the white papers and his article that was published in Revenue Performance magazine in Autumn 2011, page 10
I believe Aaron Baker has tranferred to the acquiring company as part of the deal to set the stage for the post merger activity so as to not disrupt the operations.
Recall Mark Dyne's last deal!!!
Skype was sold to Microsoft for 10 times its revenues. So, in reality it depends on how bad the acquiring company wants it and how much potential it provides for future growth. What exactly does Atrinsic bring to the table?

I can't say that with certainty, no. But it is interesting and very exciting that all of this activity seems to be happening at the same time as the Facebook IPO. Corporate strategy plays a big role in timelines for announcements, etc. We all like to think we know as much as the BOD and management but we are mere peons just guessing. Even those that are senior level management in OTHER companies have no clue what's going on in this one.
Yes, I know...EFIR filed the NT 10-Q with the SEC yesterday.
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1106848/000114420412028888/v313352_nt10q.htm
No worries!
My opinion is that in any M/A process you will see employees leave the company (Not everyone can go to the acquiring company) Only those that possess the skills needed to perform the tasks that the acquired company was purchased for.

ATRN - Tweet from Ryan Mayberry this morning...LOL
Ryan Mayberry ? @RyanMayberry
After hours of looking for my phone this morning, I finally found it in the freezer. I guess that makes sense.
let's hope some big rewards come from my non-tweeting and facebook posting throughout lent
That's wierd... I guess ICPA ticker on Morningstar hasn't updated this morning yet.
Thanks
Morninstar shows IC Places already up 22%!!! Trading before market opens?
Uh oh!!! GM saying they aren't going to advertise on Facebook!!! Wonder what Zuckerberg's response will be?

Large sell volume? Total volume was just slightly over 1 million...only 1.14 percent of the O/S. I'd say that's pretty low volume. Certainly wasn't a sell-off.
EXACTLY!!! Great chart and matches my sentiment posted earlier!
