consider it done! IMO Adapt
I work on the east side of the island and despite the distance, I can still imagine Wall Street calling out "Next" for the next flat-bed as they arrive to form a line. To put this into perspective, imaging the lines that form when Apple comes out with a new device.... then, I want you to tell your imagination to multiply the effect multiple times. I am not an investment advisor and you're damn right I'll begin selling some shares when my desired price target of $40 gets here. QUICKiE reserves the right to buy and sell as he pleases and does not guarantee that SYNC will ever have an entry point such as the one seen yesterday.
exactly the reason why I don't trade based on fancy charts. I'm old school, show me the money in the bank or a copy of Q2 results.
When does Compete.com release May traffic? Those results will likely come attached with good news.
this, I like.
what's that sound that trucks make when backing up? if you don't know, those who are pushing down the pps are all too familiar with the beeping sound. Today, they already have the keys in the ignition and adjusting their rear view mirrors. all that's needed is that sweet spot and the inevitable will happen. truth be told... I'm glad to be investing based on fundamentals and not fancy technical charts, otherwise I'd be really confused right now. let it hit 9 bucks, who cares. I'll let the gorgeous Q2 do the speaking.
does anyone know what those late day trades mean at pps of .0001
Agreed!
any shares you pick up Monday AM will make you money. IMO
SYNC to $20+ on Next Major Rally, in NIA's Opinion!
Synacor (SYNC)'s dip on Friday to $11.95 has in NIA's opinion set the stock up perfectly for a run in the near-future to new highs not just above $15, but into the $20s. (NIA isn't an investment advisor and doesn't recommend to buy or sell any stocks. NIA doesn't make target prices or other forecasts.)
Most NIA members already know that the absolute best way to lose a fortune in the stock market is by buying the stocks that Wall Street analysts like the best. It is usually the stocks that are most hated by analysts that become the biggest winners.
SYNC initially gained from NIA's profile price of $8.84 to a high on May 7th of $13.60. SYNC closed May 7th at $13.10. The very next day on May 8th, Bank of America downgraded SYNC from buy to sell. SYNC opened May 8th down $1.16 to $11.94 and finished the day down $1.79 to $11.31.
After SYNC was downgraded by Bank of America on May 8th, the stock was heavily shorted by short sellers. These short sellers didn't do any research on SYNC, but shorted the stock only due to Bank of America's claim that SYNC was rising solely due to two newsletters profiling the company. SYNC's short interest soared in the first two weeks of May from 63,310 shares to 2.33 million shares for an increase of 3,580%, making it the stock with the largest short interest increase on Wall Street.
NIA knew these short sellers would soon figure out that SYNC is one of the world's most rapidly growing public companies and a leader in the TV Everywhere industry, which is about to become the most rapidly growing consumer market in the U.S. NIA knew that as soon as they figured out the truth about SYNC, they would realize they made their biggest mistake ever by shorting SYNC and would begin covering. NIA predicted that new highs above $13.60 were right around the corner for SYNC and that when SYNC breaks $13.60 it would see $15 the next day, which is exactly what happened.
On Wednesday and Thursday of last week we saw the short sellers begin covering, causing SYNC to reach a new all time high on Wednesday of $13.92 and another new all time high on Thursday of $15. SYNC was on the verge of a massive short squeeze that could have sent its shares well above $20 this upcoming week, but on Friday SYNC was once again downgraded by Bank of America from hold to sell. We also saw SYNC downgraded by both Citigroup and Stifel Nicolaus from buy to hold.
These downgrades saved the short sellers from an imminent short squeeze, but most likely caused SYNC's short interest to soar on Friday to record levels. This means there are now more shorts than ever that NIA believes will soon need to cover. NIA predicts that as soon as SYNC breaks through $15 per share, we will see a massive squeeze that takes SYNC into the $20s.
NIA very much doubts that the short sellers will want to remain short going into July with SYNC's 2Q earnings coming and NIA expecting record results that are far higher than analyst expectations. July is also the beginning of the London Olympics, which will have millions of Americans using TV Everywhere for the first time ever as a result of NBC's upcoming TV Everywhere Olympics marketing blitz.
NIA believes we won't have to wait until July for SYNC to make its next major rally. It is obvious that the analysts are trying to help their clients accumulate cheap shares and as soon as they do, NIA expects them to upgrade SYNC. Along with Citigroup's downgrade from buy to hold, they raised their SYNC target price from $9.50 to $15.50. With SYNC now at $11.95, which is well below Citigroup's new target price of $15.50, we could see Citigroup upgrade SYNC to a buy any day now.
NIA believes SYNC is currently at or near a bottom. After the May 8th downgrade, SYNC remained weak for weeks before soaring to a new high because the short sellers continued to short more shares. With 30% of SYNC's float already short as of May 15th, it will be tough for the short sellers to find any additional shares to short. With the short sellers coming so close to getting squeezed for a 100% loss, the shorts who are smart will take advantage of Friday's dip to begin covering this week for only a small loss. NIA doesn't see much downside risk for SYNC at its current price and believes a rally to new highs will come a lot sooner this time.
It is an absolute joke how Bank of America and Stifel Nicolaus justified their downgrade on Friday. Bank of America claimed that SYNC was trading at 14x their 2013 EV/EBITDA estimate vs. media peers at 8x. Stifel Nicolaus claimed that SYNC was trading at 17.6x their 2013 EV/EBITDA estimate vs. digital advertising peers at 10.7x.
SYNC is one of the fastest growing public companies in the world with revenues last quarter up 64% to $30.67 million and EBITDA up 200% to $3 million. It makes absolutely no sense and is laughable how anybody could possibly value SYNC based on the average media or digital advertising company. The average media or digital advertising stock has no growth at all! A company that is growing faster than every one of the peers you are comparing it to obviously deserves to trade at a EV/EBITDA ratio that is many times higher!
There is absolutely nobody investing into SYNC as a media or digital advertising play. SYNC is a TV Everywhere and cloud computing play, but the analysts who are negative on SYNC have totally missed this. TV Everywhere is about to become the most rapidly growing consumer market in the U.S. and SYNC is the only real publicly traded TV Everywhere play. SYNC is in a position to benefit more from the TV Everywhere boom than any other public company and will soon trade at an astronomical valuation that shocks the world and makes these analysts lose what little credibility they may still have left.
Facebook (FB) is also a digital advertising company. Do you see Wall Street analysts valuing Facebook based on the EV/EBITDA ratio of the average digital advertising company? No, because if anybody valued Facebook for only 10.7X EBITDA the stock would be below $10. Facebook is currently worth 16X sales because it had revenue growth last quarter of 45%. SYNC is growing faster than Facebook with revenue growth last quarter of 64% and deserves to also trade for a large premium over companies with no growth.
Yesterday NIA told you about how back on May 10th with SYNC at $11.03 and Brightcove (BCOV) at $16.70, NIA said that SYNC was extremely undervalued and BCOV was overvalued, which led to NIA making an official prediction that we would soon see SYNC trading above BCOV. NIA's prediction came true on Thursday with SYNC closing at $14.70 and BCOV closing at $12.68.
Well if any investors listened to Stifel Nicolaus instead of NIA, they would have shorted SYNC at $11.03 and bought BCOV at $16.70. This is because Stifel Nicolaus initiated coverage on BCOV with a buy rating on March 29th at $23.74 per share and a target price of $28 per share. Meanwhile, their target price on SYNC was only $10.
BCOV at Stifel Nicolaus's target price of $28 per share would be worth $764.12 million or 10.85X trailing revenues of $70.43 million. BCOV had revenue growth last quarter of 52.5%. BCOV is still losing money with a trailing net loss of $21.77 million.
SYNC at Stifel Nicolaus's target price of $10 per share would only be worth $268.8 million or 2.61X trailing revenues of $103.04 million. SYNC is growing faster than BCOV with revenue growth of 64% last quarter vs. BCOV's revenue growth of 52.5%. SYNC is highly profitable while BCOV is losing a ton of money.
It is absolutely insane how corrupt Wall Street's analysts are and how they continue to mislead the public by trying to trick investors into buying overvalued stocks like BCOV, while telling them to stay away from stocks that are extremely undervalued like SYNC. Clearly, SYNC is the company that should be trading for 10.85X sales, which would value SYNC at $41.59 per share. BCOV is the company that should be trading for only 2.61X sales, which would value BCOV at $6.74 per share.
Not only is SYNC growing a lot faster while reporting huge profits compared to BCOV's huge losses, but SYNC has positioned itself as the #1 TV Everywhere play on Wall Street while BCOV is not a TV Everywhere play at all! Anybody who listened to Stifel Nicolaus and bought BCOV at $23.74 per share thinking it was worth $28 per share, is currently down 48% in just two months. Anyone who believed Stifel Nicolaus that SYNC is only worth $10, missed out on an additional 50% gain when SYNC reached $15, and in NIA's opinion will soon miss out on gains of well over 100% when SYNC rises to new highs above $20 in the very near-future.
Investors with experience who understand how the market works are likely to load up on SYNC this week after Friday's dip. We should have a very good idea within the next week or two when compete.com updates their numbers if May was another strong traffic month for SYNC's TV Everywhere clients. If May's traffic continues to remain strongly ahead of 1Q numbers, it will be a very good sign that SYNC is ready to far surpass expectations when 2Q results are released, and we could see SYNC rise into the $20s faster than anyone thinks is possible!
NIA has a stronger following than every Wall Street analyst combined because we care about our members first. Analysts on Wall Street only care about making huge profits for their firms, so that they can take home huge bonuses at the expense of their clients and the investing public. NIA strongly believes that SYNC's biggest rally in history is right around the corner and SYNC will become one of our biggest success stories of all time. All of America will be talking about TV Everywhere later this month. SYNC is likely to receive 100% of TV Everywhere investment dollars, being that SYNC is the company positioned to capitalize on the TV Everywhere boom the most and is the only real publicly traded TV Everywhere play!

thanks Blue. Great link!
you have earned your stripes well GF101. thanks for the charts. a nice breath of fresh air. that's why despite being handsomely above my initial investment, I did not abandon ship. I'm in it for the long haul. good luck to all of us next week.
in my opinion... if you keep an eye on this Monday AM, buy within the first couple of hours. even at the current price, you will make out like a bandit so I would not wait too long. remember, a ton of people bought at 13 on Friday and this stock price was raised to +15 by the big boys. I don't plan to take profits until this hits about 20 bucks and I'm already 90% in the green. good luck.
I intend to continue marching along for quite some time. thanks for this posting!
strong fundamentals bear victory, so I agree with your assessment. especially now that SYNC has caught the attention of a pretty large mass of potential investors that will want a piece of what's to come.
On behalf of SYNC, Lebed, and NIA I give our new investors a warm welcome. Particularly BOA and Citi. Thanks to BOA and Citi, the big boys are finally forming a straight line as they get ready to add SYNC to their long term portfolio. Many already did so today.
And to the existing pool of investors I say, thank you for making this possible. As a token of appreciation, I will send $5 to each and everyone of you as early as next week and definitely in due time. And that token is only the very beginning.
Bon Chance!
QUICKiE
based on all the orders coming, I believe the new wave of incoming investors like the new low entry point
me 8.75+, we r in good shape
My #1 pick for the rest of 2012 and latest speculative rating of 1 pick, Synacor (SYNC), gained 8% to $12.13 today on huge volume of 928,345! SYNC is just getting started! Now that SYNC has successfully surpassed the key $12 resistance level, SYNC could be just days away from breaking out above its 52-week high of $13.60. By next week, we could be seeing SYNC reach new 52-week highs above $15.
TV Everywhere is going to be the biggest boom market for U.S. consumers of the next few years, as millions of Americans begin watching their favorite TV programming on their laptops, tablets, and smartphones, any where they want at any time they wish! TV Everywhere is about to go mainstream in America as NBC begins an extremely aggressive TV Everywhere marketing campaign, educating Americans about TV Everywhere while promoting the 3,000 hours of Olympic events that NBC is planning to make available through TV Everywhere beginning in late-July!
SYNC stands to benefit more from this than any other public company in the world! SYNC's revenues will likely skyrocket as millions of Americans begin using TV Everywhere for the first time in July! SYNC will also be releasing their 2Q results in July, which I expect to be very strong with record revenues and enormous growth... but nothing compared to the revenues and growth SYNC will likely see in the 3Q from the Olympics!

very doable projection.
perhaps... education is important, but things worth learning can not be taught. anywhere bt 15 to 20 will quench my profit thirst, and it we'll get there sooner than we think.
agreed!
lol nice job!
Synacor (SYNC) is an opportunity so big that NIA believes it is worth mortgaing your house and liquidating other stock market positions in order to take full advantage of SYNC. SYNC is NIA's largest position and NIA strongly believes it is a sure thing to become one of the biggest gainers on Wall Street over the next couple of months!
A major article just hit the wire saying that Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes and News Corp COO Chase Carey are now urging industry leaders to jump on the Internet video bandwagon and embrace TV Everywhere as fast as possible! These are two of the most respected and highly influential executives in the whole entire television industry and they are saying that cable operators should speed up TV Everywhere as their #1 priority so that all Americans are using it by the end of 2012: http://www.deadline.com/2012/05/big-media-execs-tell-cable-operators-to-speed-up-tv-everywhere-deployment/
This is absolutely huge for SYNC, which recently reported 1Q revenues up 64% to $30.7 million. One of SYNC's two largest clients CenturyLink, according to Compete.com, saw record traffic in April, the first month of the 2Q: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/centurylink.net/
Just about all of SYNC's TV Everywhere clients are seeing their April traffic on Compete.com up approximately 6% from the average month in the 1Q. SYNC has consistently outperformed the growth reported by Compete.com, which tends to give very conservative traffic estimates. NIA believes SYNC is likely to blow away 2Q analyst estimates when 2Q results are released in July.
With the industry's huge push to TV Everywhere that is beginning at this time, SYNC's huge traffic growth could accelerate greatly in the 2nd half of 2012! NIA expects SYNC's full year revenues to far surpass the high end of SYNC's latest projections of $126 million. With the huge growth of TV Everywhere and boom that is about to take place, NIA believes SYNC at a very minimum will soon be trading for 5X sales. Based on a conservative $126 million in 2012 revenues and SYNC's current shares outstanding of 26.88 million, SYNC with a price/sales ratio of 5 would be trading for $23.44 per share.
If SYNC announces any new major customers between now and year end, NIA believes SYNC could finish the year substantially higher than $23.44 and possibly as high as $50. Remember, right now the percentage of consumers using TV Everywhere who have rights to it is in the single digits. SYNC generates the majority of their revenues from search and display advertising on the TV Everywhere portals of their clients. Just with SYNC's current client base, NIA expects SYNC's explosive revenue growth to continue for many years to come.
If any additional large cable/telco TV companies adopt SYNC's platform by year-end 2012, it will add greatly to current 2013 analyst revenue projections of $157.14 million. NIA believes just one or two additional large clients could take SYNC's 2013 revenues north of $200 million, which with a price/sales ratio of 5 would make SYNC a $1 billion company trading for $37.20 per share. If you look at how Facebook is trading for 21 times sales when SYNC is now growing a lot faster, it wouldn't surprise us to see SYNC reach a price/sales ratio of 10 in 2013 and become a $2 billion company trading for $74.40 per share.

lol just trying to be funny...
early today would have been a good time
always count on Sig to make sense of technical stuff like this. I like it!
for me too ??
oops. I hate when that happens. you made a few people panic. that's why I emphasize trading on fundamentals and not technicals... easier said than done lol
agreed!
DSNY has a lot of stripes to earn. I do like that Company though, but still too small for me. You sent me on a wild goose chase by introducing a different ticker symbol into this board... please don't do that again, it was a waste of my valuable time.
