This company has deals with Apple AND Google.... come on meow!!!! Also a perfect platform for Shutterstock to dish out its content.
But the most interesting part of all....... the digital natives......
tundra1, i completely overlooked that!!

APPLE NEWSSTANDS - iphone ipad
GOOGLE NEWSSTANDS - pixel, nexus ****
KINDLE FIRE - kindle
READLY - "spotify" of magazines

I believe they also publish to Zinio, which is a competitor in the digital magazine market..
Thanks, LongCA - Did some more digging this morning.... found some interesting articles in regards to the competition in this sector.

After seeing the article about Zinio distributing to airlines, It makes me wonder if Pixelmags will advance a chess piece in the transportation/commuting department..

**** UNCLE FESTER'S PHONECALL - POST #16489 ****
Don't think you're going to get much better than this. If you call pixelmags, I doubt they would tell you anything about the merger, whether they know about it or not - AS PER 8-k
Lol wish I could!!!! I'm not afraid to slap the ask - Got an alert set for when my funds clear... then I'll have to decide the best course of action for damage control hahaha.. not concerned tho - happy with my humble slice! I'm in since 001, and my brother since 0.0001!!!
SPCL long and strong!!!!
I took a hit and bought some more at 0.0055 yesterday - wish I had more patience; should have went with my gut. Still not concerned, as this is much better than missing the boat!!!! Wanted to buy more earlier, but funds weren't cleared until this beast started to run!!
Adding more tomorrow, as well...
$SPCL/Pixelmags
both boxes were updated 11/2 - I used bing's time stamps to confirm. I think it's important we stay accurate with the dates. that being said, I'm excited, too!!!!!
SPCL up up & away!!!!

??? bloomberg site has been updated since nov 02, 2016 (last Friday), but still good news!!!
411k shares by NITE
Coyoteman - rough gig... I respect your poise edit** glad you got back in!!!! Gotta take a hit sometimes, but at least you're still running with the pack! Even 100,000 added is more $$$$ yes 4 dollar signs at least! Who can complain about that??!! Just more money to pay taxes with LOL...
-----------
I'm with you Pugilista - hoping to still have a chance to buy in a dip.. might just have to slap that ask tomorrow! i'm ok with that, but hoping theres a tiny pocket!!
still completely satisfied with my humble slice.
**** UNCLE FESTER'S PHONECALL - POST #16489 ****
Thanks LongCAStrtong!! I've been trying to come up with any new details between the possible connections and can't find anything!! Only murmurs on twitter and the boards.
I've taken the time to review as much data as i could find, all the way back to 2009. This only paints a piece of the picture, though. Both Pixelmags and Shutterstock are companies with bright futures IMO. They both seem be run by competent and savvy teams - all of which come with great recommendations and referrals.
With the information available, I'm under the impression that Pixelmags is a TIGHTLY RUN SHIP!!!! No loose lips as per 8-k. I am not getting excited - no ETA, just productive thinking!!!!
Set stock alert - get back to life - receive stock alert - BUY MORE
-----------------
This is truly an Incredible board!! Glad to be posting with such a great crew. All the longs here, helped me digest this information and connect the dots a lot easier!!!! Art35 thank you for your wisdom!
I came across this stock in attempt to "save" my brother from a questionable investment (in since 0.0001) ... turns out I was saved instead.. a whole lotta time and $$$$!!!! LOL GO SPCL.
Pixelmags Revenues:
2014: $30 mil
2015: $48 mil
2016: $60 mil + ????
the highest earnings in their market.. which is projected to exceed $35 bn by 2020......
....There's also Jon Oringer from Shutterstock - Vert Capital purchased Pixelmags, through his old holdings company, "Pixel Holdings Inc."
Shutterstock had annual revenue of $81 million when they had their IPO
This is what Shutterstock's IPO looked like.....
https://www.ipoboutique.com/cgi/info/Shutterstock-SSTK
All this considered, I would be shocked if we saw anything LESS than 0.04 per share... 4 CENTS IS TOO LOW TO BE CONSIDERED ACCURATE IMO!!!!
LETS GOOO SPCL/PIXELMAGS WOOO!!!

the reverse split is 100 to 1.
When a reverse split occurs, the PPS adjusts to accommodate the change in shares. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT. What affects the value, is the company's ABILITY TO SUCCEED. Oh, and It helps if the shareholders believe you, too - i'd put that under 'company potential'
Have you asked yourself why YOU THINK reverse splits are bad?
Reverse Splits are dangerous in PENNY STOCKS because most penny stocks are unstable and risky IMHO. A lot of it has to do with the perception of a stock, and theres a good amount of trickery in pennyland. Often times, investors are left holding worthless shares - not only that.. fewer shares than they previously had!
HOWEVER - if a healthy company performs a Reverse Split, it could potentially lead to more investors and help promote growth/increase value.
Have I missed any bullet points? Is there a flaw in my logic? please feel free to correct/elaborate!!!!
In the case of PIXELMAGS - this is a LEGITIMATE COMPANY, which in 2015, made $48 million, and has already passed $60 million in earnings this year! In addition, researching the members associated with Pixelmags and Pixel Holdings Inc., We can deduce that Pixelmags is being led by a savvy and competent team. Not only are they surviving as a business - they are THRIVING in a RAPIDLY EXPANDING MARKET. With friends like Pixel Holdings, and Vert Capital, I find myself buying more shares every week! lol.. for me, all prices UNDER 0.01 are phenomenal - That's just my price range; I'm a small fish!!! There are much deeper pockets out there......
SPCL/PIXELMAGS!!!! GLTYA
My mistake, whiz! Thanks for clearing that up haha.. Could you private message me the company name, if you know it? I'm curious if its STXetc...
SPCL/Pixelmags!!!!
http://www.vc2capital.com/portfolio
HOLY MOLY!
YES!! The fact that we caught Bloomberg is updating their websites, is a good sign that this deal is in the works!! The deal seems to be confirmed and showing progress - one step closer to news!!
If anyone is interested, Shutterstock earnings came out today...
http://investor.shutterstock.com/mobile.view?c=251362&v=203&d=1&id=2219724
Doesn't mean anything, yet... just speculating their health for birthing pixelmags. I wonder if pixel will be releasing their earnings statement, soon.....
the merger acquisition update on Bloomberg DEFINITELY said pixel mags, on nov 02... I wouldn't have posted those links if they were just hyphens. I also still see a hyphen on the pixelmags link.. Maybe pixelmags one updated after the spcl one? Because THEY BOTH CHANGED IT!!!!! GREAT DAY TO HOLD SPCL
SPCL either way, I'm glad there are so many eyes on these details!!!! Thank you for updating. It appears bloomberg updated SPCL's page on Nov 02, 2016, its entirely possible they updated again.
Not completely relevant, but interesting......
http://baseballnewssource.com/markets/shutterstock-inc-sstk-to-release-earnings-on-friday/197390.html
I only bring it up because I'm under the impression that someone from the shutterstock world is invested in Pixelmags - if this is incorrect, please let me know!!!
SPCL / PIXELMAGS BABY!!!! WHAT A TEAM!!!!!
Everyone is saying "patience," but what a struggle! my form of patience is buying more shares!!! lol..
Picked up some more today, and feeling great about it!

nothing we don't already know from the 8-k! However, I don't remember seeing that on the site before. Can anyone confirm? I tried using the wayback machine, but there was no record.
SPCL/Pixelmags
WHEN they achieve their intent, I'm sure it will be for a heck of a lot more than $4 per share IMHO lol...
I can agree with you tho, $4/share is inaccurate - I think it will be something more like $8-12, at the beginning....
PPS aside, I agree there's always a risk. Because of the timeframe given, I'm not even thinking about when. I'm just hoping it stays down long enough for me to buy more shares!!!! lol

Shustterstock founded in 2003.
Pixelmags founded in 2009.
Shutterstock had its IPO in 2012-2013.
----In 2014, Shutterstock paid "over $83 million to its roughly 80,000 contributors." -- As much as their entire value was, from when they IPO'd!!!!
Adobe enters the stock photo market on Dec 15, 2014.
Pixelmags was sold to Venture Capital on Feb 9, 2015.
Shutterstock releases news for "Shutterstock Editor" (beta version) on Dec 9, 2015.
SPCL files 8k on May 23, 2016.
Shutterstock Editor graduates from beta version on Oct 20, 2016.
...
-shutterstock has been consistently adding new features, reaching out to new demographics, embracing culture, as well as geographic locations, all while increasing speed and usability. It only makes sense, that they apply these methods to Pixelmags.
-Pixelmags knows -their users think digital magazines should be cheaper, more interactive/engaging, and want to be able to share their magazines. Not only that, they've found a way to make all of it happen!
this thing has so much room to grow, its not even funny!!!! D:<
..beyond funny. hysterical, actually... hard to believe.

Watchful eye 33, LongCAstrong and Art35 - thank you all for your insight!
48 million / 1,830,000,000 = 0.026
0.026 x 4 = 0.104
1,830,000,000 / 100 = 18,300,000
0.104 x 100 = 10.40
Just wow.
