It's OK to be a realist, but in this case, I think being REAL is expecting a PR today. We have far too many clues and a posted video, by someone else, is not exactly a PR in my book!
FWIW, it's taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R for orders to fill at the ASK. Now, why do you think that is??! Some folks are not prepared for ICPA to rocket like it's going to and want to continue to try to buy up all the cheapies they can get before the news hits!!! Even if that means selling to themselves!!! IMO
The chart is looking mighty pretty too!
For some of us, it's FRIDAY!
For others, it's FRY-DAY!
Get my drift? ;)
Yes, I do like playing with UBB codings and colors!!! :D
Go ICPA!
I'm sorry - I thought you sold, shorted, etc. etc. Why would you care about a PR on ICPA?!
LOL
P.S. Go ICPA!
I just slapped the ASK -- I am thrilled to still have the chance to pick up in the 3s. After today's PR, I doubt we'll see 3s again. Let's knock that wall down and make them regret selling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an easy double from here within the next few weeks, IMO, at LEAST! CC, Punch alone puts annual revs at rollout somewhere in the $75 million ++ range!!!!! A HUGE jump from the last quarterly, wouldn't you say??! The earning potential of ICPA, with it's awesome and growing distribution footprint, is outstanding!
Go ICPA!!
It's a pie-in-the-sky valuation on my part -- using the fact that Steve said networks not making any money go for billions of dollars. ICPA will in fact be making money, so presumably they would go for more billions of dollars.
Just with upcoming revenues alone, ICPA is worth dollars, not cents. How many, it's hard to say -- depends upon the multiples people decide to put on it, the overall market, the industry, growth prospects, lots of things.
I just know it's WAY undervalued at this level!
See you guys tomorrow, bright and early!
I had it at $190k/yr/airport. At 260 airports, full rollout would be just under $50mm. (I see ihubhawkeye's response of $192k/yr/airport -- it could have been that and I just rounded down in my notes, don't recall.)
Of course, full rollout at 280 airports adds another $3-4mm. And those 20 airports have been added pretty much within the last 2 months, by CC. They seem to be selling the service quite well!
Those revenues don't include the revenues from the EXPANDED contract which includes doctors offices and the like. Remember, that's part of what delayed the announcement to begin with. We don't have any numbers from that part of the deal at all, yet!
Revenues keep adding up, folks! When people do the math, they will see how undervalued ICPA is!
Go ICPA!!!
I am going to bed because I am too excited for tomorrow!!!! I want to be up EARLY!
Good luck everybody!
WOW, GREAT FIND!!
To all the doubters and naysayers....yep, that's our home boy, Mr. Steve Samblis of IC Places on that CC video!!!!!!!!! And CC now in 280 airports!!!
Someone please sticky mgazel's post!
Is it Friday yet!?!!!??
WE KNOW WHAT WE OWN!!!! DO YOU?!
Go ICPA!! Ground floor opportunity here, folks!!!
LOL
GREEN
It would appear ICPA's CEO is mighty credible!!!!
Oh yeah!
IC Places on FB FOUR MINUTES AGO!!!
"Is it Friday yet? I love Fridays. Lots of things happen on Fridays you know..."
Uh huh, we LOVE Pridays too!
I think I smell a smackdown coming!!!! LOL
Power hour ought to be amazing!! I hope I make it home in time!!!!
Woot!!!!
I've been out all morning so I just NOW saw that!!! Holy moly, too funny!!!!!!!! I love it! A Honey Badger is the new ICPA FB cover photo!! That is AWESOME!
I see Jim1234 sold this morning. I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!!! I would have never guessed that one!!! Never in a million years!!! (ahem) LOL
Last I checked, it is Thursday -- all day, in fact! And as the week generally starts on Sunday, I'd say that gives ICPA 3 more days to deliver a PR this week. I think folks are getting just a tad antsy, a tad too early, IMO. But hey, sell to us!!! if you're so inclined. If there's money to be made elsewhere...you should go make it! You might want to take commentary over to those boards as well. You might make a difference over there.
We'll take our chances right here. We are Team ICPA after all!
Good luck to everyone!!
Precisely, we all went on and on about it - it was high confirmation! I really wish I would have taken a screen shot of it before it disappeared, but I didn't know it would disappear. They are obviously working on the website. It's a brand new website, created early March 2012. So new in fact that there is no archive yet -- so I couldn't pull the old version.
When I was looking into the archives, I did come across something interesting. CC Airports now links to over 280 airports!!! It used to be 260. We were told 260. The PR about the Philadelphia airport contract at the end of May said it was over 270 airports. And now the website says it's 280!!! (even though the text still says 260 - I think someone forgot to up the text total, just adjusted the title). So, it would appear that CC Airports is continuing to add airports -- which is even better for them and us and the advertisers!
I wouldn't have noticed that had I not been looking in the archives -- so thanks 34thArmour and others for asking the questions!!!! This is why we like questions!!
That's fair enough, on your valuation at least. ICPA is worth 10 cents now, a quarter soon!!
I'm curious...why is it that you believe in the PunchTV deal and not the CC deal? That's kind of like saying Santa Claus exists but the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy are fake! And everyone knows that's not true! They're all real!!! ;) :)
We heard about both deals in the same way, on the STT interviews. Truly, as far as I'm concerned, the CC deal is more real at this point! Why? Because I SAW the ICPA logo on the Clearvision Digital Networks website before they started revamping the page!!!! I didn't just hear about the deal. That's solid proof, to me. And yet, I just heard about the PunchTV deal. I didn't see anything. How do I know that was really Steve talking and that he actually called up Joe Collins?! Those could have been anyone's voices!!! It could have been me talking to Stocktologist! Yeah, I have a deep voice. :D
My point is neither deal has been officially PR'd yet!!! And would seeing it in print make it any more real for you??
I'm just saying...why believe in one and not the other?! That doesn't make any sense!
The whole point of the PRs to me is not to make the deals real (though some do need to see things in print to believe them -- though plenty of things printed have turned out to not be true!), but to inform others who are not on this board and have not listened to the interviews. PRs get released out to the investing public, picked up by multiple sources and the word spreads. That's the beauty of PRs, IMO. They get the word out.
In the meantime, people can play on the fears of deals not being real or PRs not releasing soon enough for their taste. In the short term, that's OK - it lets us longs pick up shares cheaper than we thought we could!
When it's truly real is when you believe it. When I go to an airport, sit down, watch some ICPA shows on PunchTV, complete with logos everywhere -- go to websites, see more logos, look at the SEC filings and see the 10Qs ever-increasing with millions in revenues -- then I won't have to believe...I'll KNOW FOR SURE!!!
LOL -- too funny!
666s, 777s - people are just messing around, IMO.
I hope Steve doesn't release tomorrow as I've got to take a good bit of the day off. If I'm lucky, I'll make it home for the close, but I might not. Friday would be a great day for a PR, IMO. I'll be here all day that day!!!!!!!
My real summer starts next week and I'll be around a lot, lot less. I'm very comfortable with ICPA and feel I can leave it unattended for awhile!! Plus, I need a tan. :)
Thanks ihubhawkeye!! You too!! Had I just waited a little while longer...you would have done the work for me!!!! (I had a boss once and that was her philosophy - if you waited long enough, work would disappear!!!)
I'm feeling very comfortable that a PR is coming soon. So far, I've not had any reason to mistrust the ICPA CEO. Where he could, he has always provided shareholders information in a timely fashion. And I do believe that ICPA is fully in charge of the PunchTV PR -- so the ball is in HIS court!
Regarding the TVOne deal...I am not sure how the PunchTV deal would impact that, if at all. If you recall, BET, TVOne and PunchTV are the top 3 networks in that sort of genre. So now that ICPA owns PunchTV, might be a little different story there...maybe, I don't know, we'll have to see. Although if you listen to the explanation of Punch and it's target audience, it's far more diverse than BET or TVOne -- all urban, versus anyone simply of color -- much more global and far-reaching, which is good for us and good for advertisers too!
Good luck everyone - should be an exciting few weeks ahead!!
Sounds like it was a done deal effective the day of the interview (Thursday, June 7th), after 6+ months of talks, negotiations and getting BOD approvals. My financial brain says that waiting to transfer assets until Q3 is simply for ease of accounting and tax purposes -- quarterly cutoffs are nice and neat.
So a PR this week would accomplish a few things. It says, in black and white, that the acquisition is a done deal. It hopefully states that it is accretive to earnings and non-dilutive to the float. It projects first year earnings, like Joe stated, of $10-15 million (Sept. 2012 to Sept. 2013), with maybe some earnings growth potential, like a cherry on the top.
I was hoping not to have to listen to the whole interview again! I just wanted to know the time Steve states he will release a PR on the PunchTV deal this week. Because I didn't catch that. I just wanted everyone here to have realistic expectations on when news will be coming out. If he said it, great! If not, let's not say he did. I wanted to be convinced, folks, not have to do the work myself!!!! I guess nobody was pickin' up what I was puttin' down. :)
So, I had to research it myself! Yes, I re-listened to the interview. I think I had tuned out at that point due to swooshing aliens, ringing phones and general messing around with receivers causing a lot of 'white noise' and distration. Hopefully STT will correct those issues next time around (hint, hint).
Anyway...Steve did in fact state that a PR would be coming out this week!! See interview at the 34:54 mark! (THAT'S what I was looking for!!!!!)
This is definitely time to load up if you've got the cash to do so, IMO!
At what time in the interview was that said? I didn't hear it, but I could have missed it.
Correction: In my last post, I meant to say the PunchTV acquisition will be completed by the beginning of Q3, not Q4, of this year. That's less than 3 weeks away!
And to the poster who knew about these things for months...that's impossible! We all only saw the 8k about the LOI to acquire PunchTV less than 2 weeks ago. That it is a 'done deal' was just heard for the first time on Thursday night's interview. Clear Channel was first heard at the last STT Interview, about a month prior. And that that deal was expanded to include healthcare settings was some time after that. So unless you mean something different by 'months' from the general understanding...this news was not heard months ago!
ICPA is a screaming buy at this level! We know what we own!!!!
Nice work, mgazel!! It gives us all a visual of the Clear Channel expanded contract with ICPA for content! We will be seen in more places -- restaurants, shopping centers, airports and now healthcare settings too!!!
All that exposure will help promote Punch TV, our newest acquistion, and further strengthen our distribution footprint (you know, that thing Daymond John is talking with us about!!! ;) ).
Some more interesting things to note from the STT interview last Thursday...
Steve has been in discussions with Punch TV from their launch - all the way back to the 4th quarter of 2011. He mentioned that they started getting really serious in December of that year and it's taken these last 6 months to get everything in order, ultimately leading to approval by both BODs just this last Thursday (same day as interview given).
The timing of this is perfect! ICPA and PunchTV are both companies in their infancy, just moving out of development and into the revenues stage. Both will be revenue generators so that one will not be supporting the other. And there will be no dilution -- restricted shares get the deal done! Revenues will be accretive to the bottom line!!!!! And now we'll have two entrepreneurial geniuses at the helm, each with his own focus and passion, but both complementing each other -- all for the benefit of ICPA shareholders!! Like Steve said, this deal is a 'total win' with a 'dramatic successful effect on the company' and is 'a total gamechanger'. He also talked about the 'profitable ride' we're about to go on!!!!!!!!!!! You know, Christmas!!! (Hey, purple works!!!)
What I walked away with was that the next 3 weeks are going to be huge for ICPA. We've got the PunchTV deal finalized with assets (licenses, contracts, revenues!) to be transferred by the beginning of Q4. A PR should release sometime before or right after that happens. I know a lot of folks expect it this week, but unless I missed it, I didn't hear any promises of this week. Someone feel free to point to me to the time on the interview he says that...again, maybe I just missed it! It very well could be this week, or like I said, within the next 3 weeks, my best guess. Keep in mind, PunchTV just picked up 7 million new viewers within the last week alone...so the growth there is pretty amazing. No wonder Joe Collins anticipates revenues to double next year!
The CC deal is still in their court. Steve seems very content to let them run the show regarding the PR - at their speed. He did say that a year from now, the CC relationship will be an extraordinary one for ICPA.
Something else he mentioned that was interesting is the backend work that's been done this year on the ICPA websites. He indicated that they will now be focusing on making the sites more attractive on the front end. I think a lot of us are happy to hear that. Maybe the 20th will give us some more news in that regard!
One more thing...ICPA reposted that article from 2011 http://www.icplaces.com/orlando/indoordirect-serve-entertainment-news-and-content-ic-places Now, that's TWO FB posts and a tweet about the same 'old news'!!!!! Call me crazy, but methinks there is a clue in there.
Hmmmm...indoorDirect a division of CC, restaurants, ICPA's restaurant review app??, increased content with PunchTV....??? Whatever could it be! I am sure we'll be finding out soon enough!!! Just another iron of many in the fire!!!
June 2012 could very well be a BIG turning point, a huge pivot if you will, on our way to NASDAQ.
GLTAL
So true!!! And you personally have had some terrific contributions to the board!!! Good job with the DD!!!
Actually, good job, everyone!!!
Even the naysayers and dissenters do the board a service. Gives us something to 'discuss'! We are an equal opportunity board!!!
:)
Sweet!!! New zoot suit recruits! :)
We know what we own!!
It'll probably go something like this...
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/corporateprofilecom-signs-content-partnership-deal-with-connectivision-tv-networks-2012-05-08
I mean, wasn't that why the Clear Channel Airports deal was delayed in the first place...to EXPAND the contract into the healthcare arena as well as airports?!
I imagine, as a content provider, ICPA will see a similar release.
Thank you, guys!! We can explain it over and over. The information is there, in many places! He knows that. He just chooses to ignore it as he attempts to create doubt.
ICPA is a fully reporting company, full disclosure!
We all know how this works. And it won't work on us!!! LOL
Good luck everybody!!

Nice bid support building!!!! Go ICPA!!
Not concerned about volume here at all. Simply tells me the float is locking up tighter and folks are waiting on material news to set ICPA on a major trajectory upward. When material news hits...this is gonna fly, IMO. People are beginning to realize what they own and they don't want to let it go cheaply!
The post on FB today might be another clue!
Maybe this is why shorts are nervous today! Looks like more exposure and more revenues to me!

LOL I thought I was the only one that used that expression!
ICPA is a winner folks. Look at where it is, versus where it came from. Look at the deals that have occurred. REAL DEALS that are verifiable. I have no doubt where this is going -- it's only a matter of time! I still pick up shares on every dip and as funds are available. I worry least about ICPA, of all my investments, even on down days like yesterday (though some might call yesterday basically flat at negative 2.5%!). People get too antsy sometimes for their own good!
News will come out at any time - surprising most of us - most in a good way, some not so good. The more negatives I hear on this board, the more I realize that shorts are worried....and the wider my smile gets!!
Go ICPA! Longs are with you!
I know there are those that want to see things in black and white. Some of us have seen and heard enough to know things are real. The black and white version is forthcoming, the timing of which is not entirely in ICPA's court, as we've been told.
Did you not see the ICPA logo on the Clearvision website, right alongside CBS and others before it was removed? I did. And on FB, Steve stated that nothing has changed with the deal and it's their call on the timing of it. It'll come when it comes.
Did you not listen to the STT Radio interview when Steve said the Punch TV acquisition deal was completed THAT SAME DAY and he brought along Joe Collins, the CEO of Punch TV, to help with that discussion? He said it will be finalized by Q3, all the paperwork and such -- those things take time.
It's not like sharesholders have been strung along for months here. These deals just happened! It would seem some are getting a tad unreasonably impatient. Good things are coming. Worth the wait, IMO!
Good luck to all!!!
There are definitely profit-takers at this level, lots of sub-dollar purchases. I don't think most are buying/selling in 100 sh. lots, that's just how the MMs are filling them! (I especially like those EOD paint jobs!) IMO A few more days of this upcreep and we'll see lots in the 4-6 figures, IMO. Little volume now, but far larger volume when news hits. Remember the days of jumping 30-60 cents a day!! I sure do!! It would seem just a matter of time before SYN sets a new 52-wk high! I have been waiting for it to get into the $3s, as many of us know it is better than a $5 stock! I have no doubt it will soon.
Good luck to you!!!
Very good catch!!! The man does enjoy his clues...as do we all!
Barely 10 minutes to go!!! News any time now. Are you IN or OUT?
ICPA all the way!
Response to question about Clear Channel deal on FB.
"All is good. Nothing has changed. They [CC] will issue news when they are ready."
As it has been, it is in their court. Play and flip, but take the chance of being out and chasing when news hits!!!
The Punch TV news is in ICPA's court. My guess is that the PR might hit first. Just a guess, you never know, could be either one or both at the same time!!
GLTAL
SYN -- calling at 2.07! Low float and volume, on an uptrend for no apparent reason -- I smell news in the near term!!!
ICPA - great buying opportunity here in the mid $.03s! Soon to release PRs that should send the stock upward quickly!!!
Bwahahaaha!!! 200 shares just went off at .036! Really, can you afford that?! LOL Nice try to keep her down, but it won't work forever. Play those games now, because you won't get the chance later!
When the PRs are released, ICPA is going to blow the lid off! We all know they are coming...just a matter of time! And we all know the projected revenues!!!
Patience, grasshoppers! Longs will be rewarded here, no doubt about it!
:)
Thanks Jim!
ICPA's valuation will depend upon it's underlying assets and revenue potential. If Steve can deliver the revenues on the recent deals, it's a no-brainer, we'll get to the $2 NASDAQ mark easily! I will be most interested to see what the revenues become quarter over quarter. Revenues should be picking up quite nicely with all the ad revs and the Punch TV deal and the fact that CC started this month. And since it's a stock deal, 'costs' should be minimal.
I am hopeful we'll see a PR (or two) this week!
Good luck everyone!!
Go ICPA!
Same to you!! SYN is a gem, a real secret lots do not know about! Most of my gains in SYN would be LT ones at this point -- though I do still have a few ST ones. I've always felt it's a better-than-$5 stock, particularly with the low float and the new management team in place. I really think there will be news out soon...that's the only thing the would explains the increase as of late.
It's really nice to see SYN back in the $2s again!
So, what the heck happened to the Y-hoo message board on SYN anyway!!! Just up and disappeared before this tiny run started. Totally strange! Any ideas anyone?!? Maybe folks will now have to come here to chat about it! I never posted there as I am partial to IH. I used to just lurk, but really enjoyed hearing from that Don Quixote and Trading character (and other characters too!). They always had some very good DD. It's weird the message board is missing.
Steve and Mr. Collins came to terms on Thursday, the day of the STT interview, last week. You expected a PR when exactly? On Friday? Because that would have been the only remaining day in the work week! And there was no promise by Steve that I recall saying he would PR the deal that he just finished the next day!
I am certain a PR is on it's way. I mean, buying a TV network is what I would consider MATERIAL! LOL So, it's coming. Just like the Clear Channel PR is coming -- another MATERIAL event! Steve said he'd be meeting with them on Monday so we should all know something very soon.
If anyone has been keeping up with CC PRs, BTW, they do a lot of them and have a lot going on. This deal is very big to ICPA, but not the only priority CC has. Clear Channel is 10x our market cap!
Patience will be rewarded with ICPA. Higher highs and higher lows is the name of the game!!!!!
BTW, great job posting everyone! Lots of good DD and positive attitudes!
PERSPECTIVE
Last Friday - up 33%
Monday - up 20%
Tuesday - up 30%
Wednesday - down 5%
Thursday - up 15%
Today - down 25%
Check out barchart -- even after today, it says ICPA is a 88% buy!!! Higher buy than last week or last month, even.
www.barchart.com/snapopinion/stocks/icpa Best part, ICPA is in the TOP 1% for OVERALL STRENGTH AND DIRECTION!
ICPA is playing around on the 4 yard line people!!! That's my way of saying, it's in the 4 cent arena!! Touchdown is when we get to a buck! LOL It wasn't that long ago ICPA was sub-penny, 1s, 2s and 3s!!! All things considered, I think it held up well today and bid support was super strong at 4 cents!! All days can't be green and shorts need to bring her down when they can. The only days they seem able to do that is on lack of expected news. One of these days, they'll be blown out of the water. Let them keep rolling the dice, one day it'll be snake eyes.
I think a couple of things.
1) Some folks expected something NEW at yesterday's interview. Sure, the closing of the Punch TV deal was new (ICPA went from 8k Friday LOI to DONE DEAL) and the additional details of the $10-15mm revenues and non-dilutive financing (which is WAY SWEET) was new too. But technically, via the 8k, we already knew the deal was on the table. So, no real surprise effect - like we got at the last interview. I think some were disappointed that we didn't hear anything BRAND NEW, OUT OF THE BLUE, like last time. OK, I get that. Just keep in mind, Steve delivered something NEW and BIG, like he said he would, just some had even bigger expectations and so were subsequently disappointed. Steve's trustworthy score is still 100%.
2) There is a bit of a disappointment in the Clear Channel wait. Steve went out on a limb saying CC would PR the week after the last interview. Turns out, the deal was EXPANDED, so ultimately better for us, but back to the table on the contract. Unfortunately, that means a wait. Steve said he was meeting with them Monday, so hopefully we will soon know more. I think some people need to see things in print, black and white, for them to truly believe they are happening. I can understand that too. The thing is ICPA shareholders are not CC's top priority! LOL So, we'll wait if we must, until it works for them. And it'll be a surprise when it comes...exactly what folks seem to like!
I have taken the opportunity to buy more whenever I can afford it. I even have some in the 5s!!! And I'm not a bit worried about them or any of the others I've bought. ICPA was the only stock I own that wasn't up today...and it's the least one I'm concerned about! Hopefully, that says something -- how confident I am in where ICPA is going!!
Good luck to everyone! Days like today are GREAT for adding more shares!
ETA - Yay, I got the color RED to work!! :)
