LONG SEEK FOR THE WIN
Using social media to put out updates/news to investors
Washington, D.C., April 2, 2013 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today issued a report that makes clear that companies can use social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter to announce key information in compliance with Regulation Fair Disclosure (Regulation FD) so long as investors have been alerted about which social media will be used to disseminate such information.
The SEC’s report of investigation confirms that Regulation FD applies to social media and other emerging means of communication used by public companies the same way it applies to company websites. The SEC issued guidance in 2008 clarifying that websites can serve as an effective means for disseminating information to investors if they’ve been made aware that’s where to look for it. Today’s report clarifies that company communications made through social media channels could constitute selective disclosures and, therefore, require careful Regulation FD analysis.
“One set of shareholders should not be able to get a jump on other shareholders just because the company is selectively disclosing important information,” said George Canellos, Acting Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “Most social media are perfectly suitable methods for communicating with investors, but not if the access is restricted or if investors don’t know that’s where they need to turn to get the latest news.”
Regulation FD requires companies to distribute material information in a manner reasonably designed to get that information out to the general public broadly and non-exclusively. It is intended to ensure that all investors have the ability to gain access to material information at the same time.
Lona Nallengara, Acting Director of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance, added, “Companies should review the Commission’s existing guidance — it is flexible enough to address questions that arise for companies that choose to communicate through social media, and the guidance does so in a straightforward manner.”
The SEC’s report of investigation stems from an inquiry the Division of Enforcement launched into a post by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings on his personal Facebook page stating that Netflix’s monthly online viewing had exceeded one billion hours for the first time. Netflix did not report this information to investors through a press release or Form 8-K filing, and a subsequent company press release later that day did not include this information. Neither Hastings nor Netflix had previously used his Facebook page to announce company metrics, and they had never before taken steps to alert investors that Hastings’ personal Facebook page might be used as a medium for communicating information about Netflix. Netflix’s stock price had begun rising before the posting, and increased from $70.45 at the time of the Facebook post to $81.72 at the close of the following trading day.
The SEC did not initiate an enforcement action or allege wrongdoing by Hastings or Netflix. Recognizing that there has been market uncertainty about the application of Regulation FD to social media, the SEC issued the report of investigation pursuant to Section 21(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The report of investigation explains that although every case must be evaluated on its own facts, disclosure of material, nonpublic information on the personal social media site of an individual corporate officer — without advance notice to investors that the site may be used for this purpose — is unlikely to qualify as an acceptable method of disclosure under the securities laws. Personal social media sites of individuals employed by a public company would not ordinarily be assumed to be channels through which the company would disclose material corporate information.
The SEC’s inquiry was conducted by Cameron P. Hoffman, Michael E. Liftik, and Assistant Regional Director Cary S. Robnett in the San Francisco Regional Office.

LONG SEEK for the MAJOR WIN
No concern
The crew is "untouchable". Just ask them
If posts are articulated to influence a stock is there possible consequences?
Just LONG SEEK for the MAJOR WIN
Keep it up
I keep getting my posts deleted
The gloom posts by 3 working in tandem have a job to do, today is the day
"people" have given me the okay to call it out
WOW there are a lot of eyes on this
Q2
Event updates
Long SEEK for the MAJOR WIN
The Cat The Bird The Mile
According to SOME
The company just let the spelling mistake slide, they decided to do a release and convey that they never really ran any media market test, they have kept up to the minute with critical post about management and the company and now have decided to just call it quits
Can expect
The cat bird mile to be going at it hard tomorrow. Need to drive it down before the Q2 comes out
I
I believe
I believe that
I believe that we
I believe that we will win
LONG SEEK for the MAJOR WIN
Getting it
CONTINUED follow through (big picture) of each and every forward looking event, combined with quarterly exponential growth, combined with exposure
LONG SEEK for the MAJOR WIN
Action taking place
Looks to be more follow through taking place as all the hello sites are off line this morning
There is a significant amount of articles/coverage taking place on THEDIRECTORY.COM
LONG SEEK for the MAJOR WIN
That is the facts
I could not agree more with your statement that by the time many realize what hit them it will be to late to get in anywhere near where the current PPS is
IMHO Those playing the trading channel will also get run over, and those holding SEEK will be in for the MAJOR WIN
IN ADDITION
The increase in traffic will allow for increase in add revenue, and amount of companies running adds
I just do not think people understand the size, gravity and ability for the company to monetize ALL the domains, and how quickly it will happen
Just LONG SEEK for the MAJOR WIN
I just
stated the obvious
The reality is many want to keep doing the same, flipping within a trading channel
I and others who have done in depth DD are looking at the bigger picture. Accumulating millions and millions of shares. It is very rare here in the PINK's you will be able to capitalize in a company such as SEEK.
IMHO Yes you can play the channel, but when this is breached, a run will occur so fast and so violent that by the time most realize what is happening it is to late to make life changing money.
I hold, continue to evaluate, and expect a buyout.
LONG SEEK for the MAJOR win
What to expect
IMHO
Q2 numbers soon (expected to be in the projected range of which is double Q1. Q1 was better than all of 2013. You get my point) With continued follow through by management there is less and less negative fuel. The trading channel will be broken, BUT NOT WITHOUT serious resistance
The PPS swings could get bigger up and down on a daily but at some point the upper channel will be breached
JUST LONG SEEK for the MAJOR win
Q2
very soon
LONG SEEK FOR THE WIN
Now
we are the bunch of morons because the numbers PROVE
"Initial Results Confirm Successful Start to TheDirectory.com's First Ever National Television Branding Campaign."
Q2 NEXT
LONG SEEK FOR THE WIN
MORE FOLLOW THROUGH
Thanks for posting the news release that shows CONTINUED follow through by management
LONG SEEK for the MAJOR win
Q2
For any of you getting worried about what is going on
The #3 most posted stock over the weekend was SEEK (there were a few boards that had more posts but not with a specific stock ticker) With that said, the vast majority of the posts were of the negative nature. Posters trying to invoke fear
Q2 official numbers coming in 2 weeks or less . Management stated “we are pleased to report during the second quarter ended May 31st our Company improved its business fundamentals in dramatic fashion as we positioned our Company for future growth. During the quarter we reduced our debt load by nearly $1 Million, which consequently increased our stockholders equity to its highest point ever.”
10 million market cap is far under the true value of this company. Each end every quarter that goes by with exponential growth adds more true company value, and a greater desire for the negative posts, invoking fear for the sale of shares to benefit another
I LONG SEEK for the MAJOR win
Many have NO CLUE
SEEK is on the verge of becoming the leader in local search, not based on my opinion, but based off the follow through of a established business plan. The explosion in growth is just now beginning. Q2 numbers in the forward projected range puts this company at a true value by year end IMHO in excess of 100 million. Investors and OTHER companies looking to add value to their portfolio will allow management multiple opportunities to get the shareholders maximum value for their shares.
Just LONG SEEK for the MAJOR win
I was thinking
the same thing about some of these posts, they sound like a 14 year old perspective on business operations and company growth
DO YOUR OWN VISIT to RED BANK. Having a facility fully set up with just the hardware alone is a significant task. Properly utilizing staff is paramount. Not seeing a member in the office on a unexpected visit, and getting such a response as their is nothing going on is childish at best
PRIORITIZING
A social media site is obviously not on the top of the list, when SEVERAL other details need to be finalized to be prepared for the expected increase in operations.
Staff hiring, training, back end revamp and about 20 other more important things need to be attended to before the company dedicates a member of the staff to a social media site to babysit the 14 year old rants they will have to remove.
GEEZ
JUST LONG SEEK FOR THE WIN
I wonder
After a very brief glance at the article I see that the are "people" looking into the trading activity
LONG SEEK for the MAJOR WIN
Great
In your opinion Q2 will be "worse" than Q1
I have a very strong opinion that Q2 will be much better than Q1
SEEK current true company value IMHO is worth 100 million
See we just have a difference in opinion
I will let you off the hook for answering what the VALUE of SEEK is
LONG SEEK for the MAJOR win
Okay
So in your opinion Q1 results were a failure, the company is failing and Q2 will reflect the continued failure
LONG SEEK for the MAJOR win
Okay
In your opinion SEEK is worth nothing?
Long SEEK for the MAJOR win
GOOD
In your opinion you believe your INVESTMENT is worth 1000's of percent more than what some current PPS is reflecting
Just LONG SEEK for the MAJORwin
Expected
I asked for a company value, not a PPS prediction
I hope that a few of you are starting to get the point
Dont let them influence your INVESTMENT
LONG SEEK for the MAJOR WIN
THAT I AGREE WITH
I just do not agree that your right on your assessment
Again
BEST OF LUCK to you
LONG SEEK for the MAJOR win
Well Hello
What is your opinion on the company value?
What is your opinion on the current PPS?
In your opinion is the company worth more or less than the current market cap?
Long SEEK for the win
I AGREE
IMHO you have said it in your post
JUST LONG SEEK for the MAJOR win
Have to remember
That 2 years ago SG took this from vision to reality, restructured the business plan, and spent the time to position SEEK to become the industry leader in the LOCAL SEARCH space
I guess it depends on what one is looking for. A short term PPS increase or decrease is only a entry and exit point. I have INVESTED into the big picture, the value of SEEK continues to increase quarter over quarter.
The PPS can be distorted on both sides of the coin. IMHO SEEK is way undervalued, and the PPS will better reflect a truer value of the company as the market gets a clearer picture of how the business plan is being executed.
The follow through is happening, not at a pace some are happy with, and with frustration. This is reflected in current PPS. Having the Q2 numbers, getting updated on current activities and more forward looking events will make the picture clearer
I am very confident that as the INVESTOR gets more and more long term data, backing previous forward looking events, the PPS will reflect a much different value.
I do not even care about the current or near term PPS, as I am even more confident as the value of the company builds, a BUYOUT will happen. Two years ago SG was offered a buyout of SEEK for close to the current market cap. What do think a company will offer for SEEK now as it sits? IMHO current value is 100 million plus. As each quarter goes by that value grows exponentially as long as the company CONTINUES to execute.
My frustration comes from the ones who STEAL shares from others by invoking fear.
LONG SEEK for the win
While your thinking
I am knowing that the National Media Campaign is in action
I also know that Q2 projected numbers are clearly something the INVESTOR will look at closely. Clearly this is something the short/flipper will have to avoid
DD for those who care
I was in Tampa recently, over the past weekend
PPS % swings makes it easy to invoke that fear, but it is NOT a true reflection of the company value
Just LONG SEEK for the MAJOR win
