SEEKers
tommyedwards is giving insight to why this company will be bought out.
IMHO
SG is strategically positioning each aspect of the company for exponential growth. SG has a new platform in place allowing for quick, easy expansion. Partnering with the "best in class" to avoid costly internal technology development and allowing for flexibility to quickly maneuver should they see an opportunity. Secured financing. Using the expertise of established advisers and lawyers to make calculated moves, such as auditing the books to provide transparency. Improving the user experience o with a face lift, mobile and video. Running a media campaign gaining exposure. Increasing traffic, increasing ways to monetize (advertising/job posting/providing web/mobile/video/back end services such as SEO/Email marketing and providing data analytics....) ultimately increasing the overall value of SEEK. I believe SG will establish a “formula” showing that this can be done with all SEEKs sites. Once the “formula” is established a bidding war will ensue. The timing on this could be as early as one quarter. SG and or bidding companies may wait to see quarter over quarter growth. Either way the SEEKers win. It is only a matter of time and timing.
From my DD and from my market experience this stock is undervalued, LONG shareholders will see a significant % increase from the current PPS.
Amazing
SHORT sighted views IMHO
DOLPHY
Blullish is voicing his opinion on SEEK, provided DD and is several 1000% in the plus, with the expectation of sevral 1000% increase from here with the PPS
Providing your own DD to defend a position that this is going to keep going down would be better served
The last 6 months have yielded a significant profit to those who are LONG. It has been very evident that daily % swings are the norm.
WHO KNOWS NEXT WEEK MIGHT BE DIFFERENT
NO HYPE HERE
SG has been right on track, the CC and the form 10 filings are completed as stated
SG gave a forecast for the rest of this quarter, and next
SG let those who joined on the CC know of several other activities happening
I did a full day of DD yesterday on SEEK and expressed that anyone SHORT, IMHO, would be well advised to get out of that position immediately
I have to say it again
IMHO there is NO reason to sell SEEK considering all the upside to the downside and there is NO WAY I WOULD want to be in a SHORT position on SEEK at this stage
SG coming out with news soon as per the CC
That is great advice
If you know what you have with SEEK the LONGS will win IMHO
Last observation
I do not have enough experience in a short squeeze, but will say that there is NO WAY I WOULD SELL my existing SEEK shares, nor would I take a position in SEEK expecting it to make any sort of significant move to a lower PPS for any given amount of time
IMHO LONG wins big here
Blullish
I expect a response from oct.... on my observations
I do not expect the impatient to understand
I have been doing this for some time as well (1989 on)
IMHO SEEK will be the biggest single percentage gainer I ever had, and ever will have in the stock market and that includes some big ones I was involved in like Yahoo from 8 to 38, IOMEGA from 7 to 62 and Safe Skin from 5 to 42
Short term you may be correct, LONG term I am VERY confident I am correct
More observations
Watching CNBC news and projecting what types of models win in movement to MOBILE and VIDEO from desktop
MOBILE and VIDEO are part of the SEEK business model
DUDA MOBILE partnered with SEEK
GOOGLE has made a active shift to video and mobile
SEEK is beyond sitting in a sweet spot to be bought out
Just an observation
FB jumps on MOBILE rev.
I believe SEEK has MOBILE in their business plans
76usmc
Yes, SG did say that in the last CC
I see some out there are paying attention
Not everyone is calling SEEK
a "POS"
The LONGS and the people who understand what is going on agree with you
ejquezad
If you invested in SEEK you will see ups and downs
I am LONG and only review the activity, but never have I changed my plan
I sold a portion of my investment and hold the rest of my shares free and clear. It took months to get to that point, and at one time I was down over 50% from my initial investment
You need to ask yourself are you here for a quick FLIP, if so and you are down, you may want to sell and take the loss. If your here for the LONG run you will have to accept that there will be swings in the PPS with the expectation that PPS will be higher down the road
Have a plan, get in and get out accordingly
Seekers
I do not believe people are getting the enormity of this company
A simple breakdown
SG has the entire infrastructure in place, platform expansion, financing, web traffic growing, staff coming aboard
Taking the existing domains and closing in on monetizing each one
Once the "formula" is derived in how to get the most bang for your buck on a domain (media, mobile, staff…) you are looking at 2000 domains x $$$$$$$ per
SG has followed through with an extensive, expensive, and time consuming audit to be transparent
SG has followed through in the past 6 months with his public statements, and given his forward looking direction for the company
SG made a decision of no reverse split. SG stated why the increase in shares, obligated to stay within the terms of the financing contract. IMHO share structure clean up will be addressed.
IMHO There will be exponential growth Q over Q and it will bring in a hefty buyout
IMHO .10 plus in the future PPS for SEEK
so you do not spin it
NO R/S
Standard market language in a Form 10
It is an educated decision to buy, hold sell any stock
I am comfortable holding my LONG position
SEEKers it is called follow through from SG
The next step will be up listing in late March
Please read the release from Dec 19th 2013.
Direct quote
"In January we'll become an SEC exchange act reporting Company and will have completed 3 years of audited financials in just the 3-months time. The Company, our auditors and lawyers are actively working on the form 10."
SG did not mislead anyone
Update
The unique users has increased, as per the CC
IMHO so much more will be unveiled
BLULLISH
IMHO
SG has a background in the market and strategically positioned SEEK for a squeeze
SG has protected the company from a takeover
SG will increase exposure via a media campaign
SG has hired a reputable VP to close contracts and increase traffic
SG is building value in every move
SG has a exit plan in place, as stated, a buyout
Business Decision
SG and his team made the decision to not do a APP
He explained why the decision was made and the path that they will go with mobile
The decision to go the path they are is much more "work" but they feel will better benefit the company
In short they want the user experience to be friendly when using mobile, and feel this is the way the industry is moving. They feel APPS are intrusive and will not yield more $$ in the long run
BETTER ODDS
IMHO that taking a position at the current PPS will yield a higher PPS in the future
OldAxe
I believe that we both agree SEEK will advance from the current PPS
Daily trading is one way to do it
I suggest going LONG to those who cannot sit and manage a position they take in a stock all day every day
GLTA SEEKers
LONG shareholders of SEEK called it 6 months ago
On a daily play by play you win
I will stick to my LONG plan
IMHO anyone who takes a LONG position in SEEK at these prices are going to win
Some here on SEEK are LONG, some are SHORT and some FLIP
It is important for new people to board to review several post to develop a informed decision on investing
‘benchman’ glad to see that you have come to the same conclusion as myself
Public Forums
Posting on a forum is a right.
What is posted helps people to make informed decisions on their investment.
I view posts daily, both on the LONG and on the SHORT, that have substance and weigh in on my decision to invest in a stock or not.
SEEK is up over 100% from the original time you have told people not to invest in SEEK.
IMHO your postings lack any useful content.
Have a plan to get in to a stock
Have a plan to get out of a stock
Research, study, review company news, and public opinion (boards like I Hub)
Decide if the stock is worth it for you to invest
My point is if you have done your homework the opinions of others should not affect your overall decision to enter or exit a stock
IMHO SG will follow through with his stated plans and SEEK PPS will reflect that
100 million shares plus so far today for SEEK
This is a very good indication that SG will follow through IMHO
SEEK
The up and down swings continue
If SG follows through, IMHO, you will see a much higher PPS
I agree AHKT456
There will be a significant increase over the next few days of posters trying to put doubt into investors of SEEK.
IMHO LONG is going to win.
No one wants
to be SHORT SEEK either.
Next week, JAN 23rd, will give everyone a better picture as to what side you want to be on.

Carini
You are very observant, and the answer to your question is exactly why I am LONG SEEK.
I did that DD.
Just 1 week until SG gives more clarity to so many questions.
SEEKing Clarity
1 week and we get that from SG
BLULLISH
Post #92677 is a must read IMHO
ItssMeLam
Just a quick response on a buyout.
I did not just throw that out there. SG has stated at least 3 times that his exit strategy is a buyout in conf. calls. SG publicly announced that he turned down a buyout offer in the past because he felt the offer was to low.
IMHO If SG KEEPS on the stated course, continues along with the new business model, a significantly higher buyout will be made.
Rumphre1
Seems you are of the same opinion on SEEK as myself.
If SG KEEPS following through, it will enchance his credibility in this "new phase" of SEEK. The PPS will reflect that.
If SG fails to follow though, that also will be reflected in the PPS.
The 23rd is more than numbers and outward looking advancement to this company, it is validation to credibility of SG.
Macattack1
The agendas of many on the SEEK board are clear. The approach varies.
Your observation on a buyout of SEEK is the security blanket to those with a concern on the daily PPS changes.
We will all have a much clearer picture on the 23rd of this month about SEEK.
IMHO this will be bought out, how quickly?
Invested in SEEK 6 months ago
My long term HOLD has yielded a very nice return
I sold a portion of my shares to get back my investment
IMHO SG will follow through
I will evaluate off the numbers
THANK YOU
SEEKers
SG's past failures have a lot to do with SEEK's future success. 2 years of internal growth have taken place and it was painful, but positioned SG to succeed with SEEK going forward . SG's failure to recognize the complexities in growing a business years back are what has SEEK ready to explode in the near future. The business model SG announced, and implemented, 6 months ago is right on track. Partners, financing, and platform development now allow for major growth quickly. SG has been very clear on his exit strategy of a buyout.
REVIEW this and you will know what is going on with SEEK.
TheDirectory.com Engages Financial and M&A Advisor to Assist With Roll-Up Strategy
TheDirectory.com, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SEEK) an emerging leader in the Local search space, today announced that it has engaged New Jersey based financial advisory firm Gibraltar Advisors to assist the Company in the area of mergers and acquisitions, corporate financing and deal structuring.
www.TheDirectory.com Founder and Chief Executive Officer Scott Gallagher commented, "As outlined last week in my letter to the stockholders, we're entering a new growth phase for our Company that's based on our Build/Buy/Partner strategy. This strategy is partially based on our ability to acquire a potential acquisition candidate and integrate their business seamlessly and expeditiously into TheDirectory.com. We can accomplish this principally because our recoded and redesigned platform allows us to easily facilitate the additional revenues and also because our portfolio of over 1,000 domain names which would cost millions to replicate, cover some of the most important categories in the Local search space. For example, we own the TLD (top level domain) www.Chiropractor.net, the keyword "Chiropractor" alone is worth millions of dollars each and every month on PPC networks like Google AdWords and others. We've hired Gibraltar Advisors to assist us in structuring a roll-up strategy and to communicate our value proposition to Wall Street banks and to potential acquisition candidates. Gibraltar brings over 100 years of collective market knowledge and experience to the table."
Gallagher continued, "We've already identified several potential acquisition opportunities that would grow our top line in the millions while being immediately accretive to earnings. The key to closing these types of transactions lies in having a quality long term funding partner. We've been very impressed by the quality of the firms Gibraltar has already introduced us to in regards to acquisition financing. I firmly believe that as we complete the reporting process and once again become an SEC exchange act reporting Company, Gibraltar will increasingly play a critical role in establishing our brand and assisting us in executing our roll-up strategy."
Gibraltar advisors Managing Partner Jon Doukas stated: "TheDirectory.com has all the necessary ingredients to become a major player in this space in a short period of time."
