Actually the heat and sweat got turned up in here when the TA GOT UNGAGGED
Because :::::: rely and thrive on company diluting shares daily. But since SMCE is not.
Ohhhh it got hot in here
It actually has ZERO EFFECT whatsoever Bc it's not in the float.
is the OS being traded freely or is it the float?
Incorrect, then that means that every company in the world is currently diluting non stop. Lmao
It's interesting how 99.99% of the time when the topic of dilution occurs - it's always focused on the float. But since now that the TA is ungagged the topic moves to shares that aren't even trading!!!!!
Everyone, don't listen to me, or other posters about dilution. The TA is ungagged, feel free to call and verify the FLOAT against what the last filing was as of 3/31 (fyi the PPS was .97 as of 3/31)
That shows what is publicly freely tradable and what actually effects the PPS .. if the company was actually selling shares (into the float) then that would been the float is increasing and that company is diluting.
Issuing stock that most likely has no effect for 1 year is not dilution.. Dilution is the actual selling of shares that effect the current float and freely tradable shares.
We can go around in circles all day but if the float remains exactly the same then that confirms that no dilution is occurring.
EVERYONE, I KNOW FOR A 100% FACT SMCE IS BEING SHORTED.. FEEL FREE TO PM ME AND I'LL PROVIDE EVIDENCE ;)
THE SMCE FLOAT REMAINS EXACTLY THE SAME FOR AT LEAST 2 MONTHS.. THE SHARE PRICE 2 MONTHS AGO WAS .97 .. THE FLOAT HAS HAD 0 SHARES SOLD INTO THE FLOAT. THUS NO DILUTION.
That's not answering the question
What is the float?
What is the float now and what was the float on 3/31
Clue- it's the same
Exactly. I said news to me. And nothing about what I'm saying confirms I agree or believe it.
But yes. Very big news if true. But I'll believe it when see it.
However the relationship between INgrooves and SMCE is very close as documented and verified
WHY IS THE FLOAT EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT WAS ON 3/31?
ABSOLUTELY 100000% false!!!! Then why is the float exactly the same as 3/31!!!!!!!?????
HAS ONE OF THOSE SHARES BEEN SOLD INTO THE FLOAT!?? No
IF THE HAS REMAINED EXACTLY THE SAME FOR AT LEAST 2 MONTHS
THEN NOT 1 SHARE HAS BEEN SOLD ... Period
INCORECTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!
I never once said INgrooves going public. LMAO however I responded to a post about that. But doesn't mean u agree or confirm that.
However my belief that SMCE is following a similar business plan as Fontana which Kurt Heidolph helped create and now with SMCE.. Could be for the purpose of setting themselves up for a buyout.
That is my honest opinion supported by deduction
Interactive Brokers had a significant chunk this morning fyi.. which coincides with today's volume..
Casey is not the IR here and hasn't been for months.. call or email the company to verify ..
3.5m float is now considered a pig? Lol
Nobody here except the person you are responding to said that INgrooves going public.
Isn't it interesting that the people whom post the most spend all day telling us that there's NO SHORTS and that's the company is diluting when it's clearly not per the TA
why so interested here? Why when the selling starts up do the post get more aggressive
Opinions are subjective and views about what is heavy is relative to all the corresponding variables.
So I stand by my opinion that there has been heavy manipulation/shorting for about 2 months.

$SMCE Russ Regan is now an advisor for $SMCE.. watch this interview and see/listen to everything this guy has done, been involved with and the kind of connections/relationships/reach he has in the industry.. The guy is a legend.. but also a VISIONARY looking into the future as you can see in this video starting at about 14:50.. which IMVHO is a major reason he's now part of the SMCE team.. Bear in mind, this interview was about 4 years ago

Earlier this year via PR's, and written throughout their website as clues- SMCE is telling us:
• They are pursuing a new business plan
• Strive to be a One Stop Shop for artist
• Digital Distribution "Pipeline"
• Targeting India and Latin America which is "untapped" for digital distribution.
• Added Music Legend Russ Regan (a legend) to their advisory board.
• Acquired a Digital Film Distributer
• Added Film Mogul Mike Marangu as Advisor
Yet the float remains exactly the same for at least 2 months indicating that absolutely no company dilution adding shares to the float
Exactly ;)
If there are NO FTD"s that doesn't mean that this hasn't been or is not being shorted FYI. It only means that this entire time "so far" that the shorts have been successfully covering this entire time.. So they can:
" short the ask and walk it down to scare people out to cover, they can do it over and over"
If they are in trouble, they could try to borrow more to cover their butts and double down.. however that is risky..
So anyone holding, if you sell, you are letting the shorts get what they want.. lock your shares up..
CALLED TA- FLOAT REMAINS THE SAME

@SMCEUSA: Just wrapped up an amazing meeting at Ingrooves, We are about to make national heading guys!
@SMCEUSA: Currently in a production meeting over @ #INgrooves about expanding #digitalDistribution outside the u.s. stay tuned
No thanks, I prefer to blaze my own smce dd trail as so far from only scratching the surface:
1.UNCOVERED AN OUTRAGEOUSLY INCORRECT FLOAT - Someones opinion of what was trading out there via calculations does not make the float from the company incorrect. Float has remained the exact same since at least 3/31
2.UNCOVERED THE NON EXISTENT FINANCIAL NOTES - yet the float remains exactly the same as of 3/31 and no shares sold since at least 3/31
3.UNCOVERED THE NON EXISTENT SMCE DILUTION - NO DILUTION HAS OCCURED SINCE AT LEAST 3/31
4.UNCOVERED SMCE IS DEBT LADEN - NOT REALLY BUT OK.. LOL
TO BE CONTINUED...

Considering some big groups have been absorbing as much as possible down here - and holding for the long run. Won't take much at all to get to $1

NOTE: there is significant similarities between $SMCE and Fontana (which INgrooves bought out) as it appears the same business model Fontana had is what SMC is doing, also former management from Fontana is now a part of SMCE, see below
First we have the connection from the filings in place alongside a material contract with INgrooves already in place
As the issuer moves into Quarter 2 of 2015 management plans to expand its operations into ownership and control of certain digital content distribution outlets for both music and film. Management believes that as the entertainment industry trends towards more and more on-line distribution of content, the real revenue growth is in ownership of on-line content distribution “pipes.” If the future of the entertainment industry is in streaming content, I want our company to direct those streams rather than have to negotiate with companies to stream our content. The Company is currently negotiating the acquisition of a music distribution company
Prior to working with SMC, Mr. Heidolph managed business analysis and reporting for Fontana Distribution, Universal Music Group Distribution’s independent label division, from 2008-2011. During this time he automated nearly every reporting process and increased the division’s financial efficiency by 100%-150%. Additionally, he created forecasting models that could accurately predict physical and digital sales which had not been possible before.
www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/retail/1098611/ingrooves-to-purchase-fontana
INgrooves, the digital aggregator launched in 2002, has purchased Fontana, the indie distribution company owned by Universal Music Group, the company announced today.
The deal gives the digital distributor a full array of services to offer to indie labels and at the same time provide capital to build up Fontana's capabilities in marketing music to brick-and-mortar merchants.
INgrooves itself already has a relationship with Universal Music Group, which bought 51% of the company in 2008, sources say. That stake was reduced to about 40% when Shamrock Capital, a unit of Shamrock Holdings, bought a majority interest in INgrooves in 2010. With the latest deal, Universal's stake in the company will be reduced to about 15%-20%.
In addition, sources say Shamrock is paying UMG about $5 million to $10 million for Fontana, which has annual sales of about $90 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of about $5 million to $7 million, Billboard.biz estimates.
INgrooves Makes Updates to Its Client Console
While Fontana's EBITDA would normally value that company at about $25 million -- based on the four-times multiple that distribution assets have traded for in the past -- total valuation for the deal is difficult to estimate because even though UMG's stake in INgrooves is being reduced, it now owns a portion of a larger company.
Billboard.biz estimates INgrooves' revenue at about $45 million, which means the company will now have revenues of about $135 million, making it the fourth-largest U.S. indie distributor behind RED, Alternative Distribution Alliance, and eOne Distribution.
Backbeat: Fontana Hosts Event for NYC Labels
Moreover, UMG benefits by being affiliated with an indie distributor that plans to grow with the backing of the deep-pocketed Shamrock Capital. A bigger, complementary INgrooves/Fontana operation with a revitalized game plan could benefit by the changing indie distribution landscape, with the Warner Music Group's ADA further integrated into WEA, and with the fate of Caroline/EMI Label Services Group up in the air due to its pending absorption into UMG.
While UMG is required to unload music assets in order to help finance its acquisition of EMI's recorded-music division, which is pending regulatory approval, sources say the deal for Fontana was in the works months before the major even came up for sale.
Universal Music Group Distribution provides some shared services with Fontana, and sources say some of those services will continue, while other backroom/office functions will be assumed by INgrooves. On the flip side, INgrooves plays a role in the digital pipeline for UMG, helping it to ready and deliver music to digital service providers.
"Through this acquisition, we are now able to offer the independent music community a fully integrated physical and digital distribution marketing solution in North America," INgrooves CEO and found Robb McDaniels said in a statement.
In the announcement, the company said the deal will allow for the expansion of the Label & Artist Services group. This unit, which currently provides product management, online marketing & PR coordination, sync licensing, brand partnership marketing, sponsorships and advertising for the respective companies, will be a core focus of expansion in the coming months. The company said the value-added services will be available to INgrooves Fontana clients on a per project basis.
McDaniels also said the deal will provide the company's "client base with a larger sales force, more marketing resources and a one-stop global retail network that maximizes opportunities in this dynamic, challenging environment."
As part of the deal, Fontana president Ron Spaulding, who plays a key A&R role in bringing labels to Fontana, will stay with the company as president and run it, sources say, while Dave Zierler, recently promoted to president of INgrooves, will run that side of the company, with both reporting to McDaniels.
Why would INgrooves want to buy SMCE? Well as you can see they bought Fontana and they are executing the same business model.
INgrooves Music Group is comprised of 3 service divisions: Distribution Services, Artist Services (“INresidence”), and Rights Services. All three divisions work in alignment to provide each of our partners with a solid customized solution that meets their business needs. Like our technology, we are always developing our comprehensive menu of music distribution, marketing and rights management services so that our label and artist partners will have the tools and resources they need to succeed today and tomorrow.
