Maybe this will clear things up kid...lolzzz
Lol...It's a P&D.
Back in $SYNC long as of yesterday at close...indicators say bullish. Now just waiting for VM promo today. Hurricane Rick & Andy, well played.
So I've skimmed over the messages in this board since the dump and I'm stunned. People are upset that THEY got scammed on a known P&D. You all know the rules of the game and chose to play. But now you're upset because you, the more savy trader got played. Promoters have absoutely NO loyalty to anyone.
So now you want the pump to occur again so that you can unload your shares on who? Not me...I'm not buying any of your shares. Maybe some nieve trader who comes across the banner ad of a promoter and doesn't know any better? So you want them to buy your shares...sounds like you want somebody else to own a piece of this shell of a company instead of you. And that makes you just as bad as the promoters.
You are calling the kettle black!
Now I feel for anyone who is down in this P&D. But did you really think it would be that easy? Profits were there on the first day. But everyone wanted to let it ride and expected an easy 100-500% gain. And again, I ask how would you expect to get those gains anyways? By selling to another trader...AKA...potential bagholder.
I'm not bashing anybody who's pissed off for what happend, I've been down that road too, all I'm saying is that you can't be upset when YOU made the decision to place YOUR $$$ in the hands of a stock promoter and then be upset when the trade doesn't work your way only to want the pump to comeback/begin/continue so that you can sell your shares to a new bagholder. GLTA.
I'm not saying that all penny stocks are bad...I'm simply saying that all (99.99%) penny stocks are scams and that those who believe this is a real company should be aware of that and trade accordingly.
Just call them and tell them to list the stock as worthless...they'll buy all your shares for .01.
BTW, all penny stocks are scams...this was, and will never be a real company. All bagholders must hope that first it gets off the DTC list and then that there's a ticker symbol change or something. Then hopefully you can sell into the pump. Good luck!
"Jonathan Lebed ?@LebedBiz: $SYNC - Just give it two weeks. You'll see what I mean." Lolzzz
I'm thinking more like <$8.25
In the process of getting certs. If you want to sell those shares, call them and they will do their best to accomadate.
Additionally, RAR$ shot up right from the get go, while this has slowly upticked. Great sign. Still extremely risky though.
WDCO was there for RAR$ too...good sign IMO, but waiting until confirmation is the safe call. GLTA!
Hmmm...big block selling + down tick = dilution. I don't doubt that this stock will be promoted at some point; however, at what price? Penny or Subpenny? I'll be paying attention, but a bit too risky for me.
True that...looks like below $11.02 would signal reversal...we'll see in the coming days, otherwise, still looks like it's trending upward with higher lows IMHO. Not worried though...playing with house $$$. Go $YNC!
NIA has expanded its Synacor (SYNC) TV Everywhere traffic report from initially being SYNC's 15 largest clients with traffic over 100,000 unique visitors per month, to now include 10 additional SYNC TV Everywhere clients with traffic below 100,000 unique visitors per month but above 10,000 unique visitors per month according to compete.com estimates.
Of the 10 new entries to NIA's SYNC traffic report, 4 of them saw record traffic in May! All together, NIA's 10 new entries to its SYNC traffic report saw an average increase in monthly unique visitors so far in the 2Q of 11% over the 1Q! It is unbelievable that SYNC's 2Q revenues are projected to be flat from the 1Q. NIA is now more confident than ever that SYNC will shock Wall Street with blow out 2Q results that surpass Wall Street's highest expectations next month!

NIA believes we could realitically see SYNC's 2Q revenues grow by 5.4% over 1Q revenues of $30.67 million to $32.33 million. This would represent year-over-year revenue growth of 66% and increase SYNC's trailing twelve month revenues from $103.04 million to $115.9 million.
With SYNC's closest comparison BCOV currently trading with a price/sales ratio of 6.12X, $115.9 million in trailing revenues X 6.12 would value SYNC at $709.31 million / 26.88 million shares outstanding = $26.39 per share in July.
BCOV's 2Q revenues are projected to be $19.76 million compared to year-ago revenues of $15.28 million for year-over-year revenue growth of 29%.
With SYNC's potential 2Q revenue growth rate of 66% more than double BCOV's projected 2Q growth rate of 29%, NIA believes SYNC deserves to at least trade for 10X sales. A valuation of 10X $115.9 million in trailing revenues would value SYNC at $1.159 billion / 26.88 million shares outstanding = $43.12 per share in July.

"A while back, we made a post on Synacor and National Inflation Association. The stock has run a bit since then. We grabbed a few shares on this spec trade, looking for a double or more (hopefully!) before the “dump” (?) starts. I put a question mark behind ”dump” because this time, the “dump” may not materialize since the company is very legitimate, making money, hiring folks, and expanding rapidly.
I noticed one analyst downgraded SYNC from a “Buy” to a “Hold” today, but the stock did not fall on the news. NIA has been sending me “pumps” along the way detailing SYNC’s growth. They state SYNC will be included in the Russell 3000 soon which gives me reason to believe this stock is headed higher.
As always, this is my thinking (which MAY be wrong) but take it for what it’s worth.

Going over $14 before 12:00 guys
I'm out all 2300 shares premarket @13.00...will be back at better entry point. Had to take the green and run. GLTA.
Analyst, Laura Martin, said, "We are downgrading SYNC because it has hit our 1-year target price. We suspend our target price, as we do with all Hold-rated stocks...We note that SYNC has exceeded expectations since becoming a public company in February of 2012. SYNC has over-delivered estimates twice and has raised guidance twice. We see growing momentum behind TV Everywhere and we think that SYNC is uniquely positioned to benefit from this trend. With the purchase of Carbyn, SYNC addressed its key strategic gap -- mobile. We like SYNC but bow to the discipline of our target price."

Lol...don't listen to the "board," do your DD and accept common sense. Bulls make money, Bears make money, Pigs get slaughtered!!!
Yeah, near 100% retracement is totally normal...Lol. I sure hope nobody else listened to you "wisemen." It's a P&D...are you blind man!!!
It's called a P&D... GLTA!
You're totally right...my bad. I hope to learn from those guys...I'm still a spring chicken who's wet behind the ears. GO YIPI! I'm in for 2k shares...let's ride this all the way to the top! And with that, I'll STFU! GLTA!
All you new longs realize that this stock is being pumped right? They're small promoters, but nevertheless. Merger + Promotion + Low Float + Rumored Buyout = Increase in PPS.

Should You Buy Synacor?
http://seekingalpha.com/article/654451-should-you-buy-synacor?source=email_rt_article_readmore&ifp=0
Conclusion
Unlike BroadVision, Syncor is a real promising company. It is well positioned, profitable, fast growing, and has several good growth opportunities in front of it. It has no debt either. However, much of the growth of the coming one or two years is already priced into the shares at $13, so we think the shares are expensive at the moment. Rather than an outright buy we think it offers an interesting trading opportunity between $9 and $13-4.
One might also want to keep in mind that the promotional efforts of Lebed and the NIA have been going on for some time, while we don't expect anywhere near the downdraft that happened to BroadVision when these efforts stopped, some retreat is to be expected when that happens.
Sound 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level...lol.
NIA added another 45,649 shares to its position today.
Sales @ 4:08pm - 2x23087/46174 shares or 4% of total volume for the day.
Interesting.
So you say misdirection on their part...essentially tell the world their dumping, duping copious amounts of new shorts, and then flip the script for a squeeze...hmmm, perhaps lol.
What a joke...they tell us they accidentally had their shares sold due to a lack of oversight...and the topper, they don't tell us until after the fact. I call BS. They really didn't have to say anything though, so the fact that they did is interesting. With NIA, there is no honor amongst thieves!!! But we all knew this right? Lol.

Synacor downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Citigroup
Citigroup downgraded Synacor citing valuation and a lack of near-term catalysts but raised its price target for shares to $15.50 from $9.50.
http://www.theflyonthewall.com/permalinks/entry.php/SYNCid1645134/SYNC-Synacor-downgraded-to-Neutral-from-Buy-at-Citigroup
FYI...
"NIA members are very blessed to be able to research SYNC today for one last time below $15. A major breakout to prices north of $15 could potentially occur sometime today or tomorrow. NIA believes there is no major resistance coming anytime soon and SYNC could potentially reach $20 or higher before making a meaningful dip. It is possible that a smaller insignificant dip could occur sometime today or tomorrow, but it would probably be a dip that lasts for only an hour before SYNC rapidly recovers and soars to new highs. Investors looking to accumulate SYNC should try to follow the stock closely throughout the day so that in the event of an intraday dip, you are in a position to act immediately to accumulate cheap shares before SYNC quickly recovers from that dip and moves on to higher highs!"
Here it is...
NIA announced Synacor (SYNC) as its latest stock suggestion and #1 pick for the rest of 2012 on May 2nd at $8.84. Four days later, SYNC finished May 7th at $13.10 for a gain of 48%. Being that SYNC is the world's leading TV Everywhere platform company and the only publicly traded TV Everywhere pure play, NIA believes SYNC could become our biggest winner of all time. NIA believes SYNC is likely to report a record quarter when 2Q results are released in July and SYNC is likely to make massive gains in the months of June through August.
Bank of America is fully aware of the fact that the TV Everywhere industry is about to explode and when SYNC was rising away from them on May 7th, they downgraded SYNC from outperform to underperform in an attempt to drive the stock down so that they can accumulate cheap shares. After Bank of America's downgrade of SYNC, the stock declined $1.79 the next day to $11.31 and three days later it closed at $9.24.
Bank of America has just upgraded SYNC from underperform to neutral. Explaining their reason for upgrading SYNC, Bank of America said, "We are upgrading Synacor to Neutral due to the company’s moderating valuation versus online media peers. Synacor continues to be a strong fundamental growth story with our model showing 38% and 28% y/y revenue growth in FY2012 and FY2013, respectively. We view Synacor as a play on the rise of TV viewing on the web and still like Synacor’s high predictability and opportunity for a transformative customer win to significantly increase our estimates."
Bank of America has a price outlook of $11 and NIA believes SYNC is a steal below $11. Needham & Company recently raised their SYNC price outlook to $13 and NIA believes SYNC could quickly make a run to $13+ on any kind of positive company news or bullish industry development. SYNC's 1Q revenues were up 64% year-over-year to $30.7 million and according to Compete.com, just about every single one of SYNC's clients have seen huge increases in traffic to their TV Everywhere portals in the month of April compared to the 1Q. If this trend continues for the months of May and June, NIA believes SYNC will blow away analyst estimates for 2Q revenues of $30.78 million.
Based on current analyst estimates of $30.78 million in 2Q revenues, SYNC is expected to grow 2Q revenues by 58% year-over-year with revenues being roughly flat compared to the 1Q. However, with SYNC's clients seeing huge increases in traffic so far this quarter, NIA believes SYNC could see 2Q revenues grow 5% to 10% from the 1Q, which would equal revenues of $32.24 to $33.77 million for the quarter and year-over-year growth between 66% and 73%.
If SYNC sees their 2Q revenue growth accelerate with year-over-year revenue growth surpassing 1Q growth of 64%, NIA believes SYNC is likely to become the hottest growth play on Wall Street. SYNC at today's closing price of $9.50 is possibly the biggest opportunity to become wealthy that NIA has ever discovered. Based on current trailing 12 month revenues of $103.04 million, SYNC is trading with an insanely low price/sales ratio of 2.48.
SYNC's revenue growth last quarter of 64% was substantially higher than Facebook (FB)'s revenue growth last quarter of 45%, yet FB is trading with a price/sales ratio of 25.91 or more than 10X higher than SYNC's price/sales ratio of 2.48.
SYNC receives a large part of their revenues from their deal with Google (GOOG). Last quarter, SYNC's TV Everywhere portals saw 271 million search queries through the Google search bar located at the top of each portal. This was an increase of 85% from 146 million search queries in the same quarter one year ago.
GOOG is currently trading for 4.9 times sales with revenue growth last quarter of 24%. If SYNC's 2Q revenues grow by 66% to $32.24 million, SYNC's trailing 12 month revenues will increase to $115.81 million. Based on $115.81 million in potential trailing revenues after 2Q results are released in July, if SYNC trades with a price/sales ratio equal to GOOG of 4.9, SYNC will be trading for over $21 per share by the end of July.
GOOG's revenues this quarter are projected to grow by only 22% from one year ago. If SYNC reaches 2Q revenue growth of 66%, it will mean SYNC is now growing at triple the growth rate of GOOG! Therefore, a price/sales ratio for SYNC of 4.9 is very conservative and NIA believes SYNC will still be extremely undervalued once it hits $21.
NIA has made it very clear from the beginning: We do not care about SYNC's day-to-day fluctuations. We feel very bad for anybody who became nervous when SYNC dipped this morning and sold their shares at $9. Those who sold at $9 will probably soon be chasing SYNC at $13-$15. If it wasn't for the weak market we believe SYNC would already be trading for $15+ right now. The market simply cannot get much weaker than it is today. QE3 is right around the corner and as the market gets back to normal in the upcoming weeks, NIA is confident SYNC will quickly rise to where it belongs. TV Everywhere will be the most explosive industry of the next six months and SYNC has positioned itself as the industry leader!

Just remembered that I've got a bunch of Lehman common stock...looked over the board and didn't find a definite answer on what they're "worth." Broker told me that they were restructuring and that they'll be a new issuance of stock. Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as what the shares of common stock that I have are worth or what they could be worth? Thanks a bunch.
This is a "Pump & Dump?"
