Synacor's Growth To Fade As Users Switch To Smartphones [View article]
Weird words from NIA today, 10/10/2012 -
"Please do NOT buy SYNC shares. NIA does not want any NIA members to buy SYNC shares. NIA is strongly considering the possibility of depositing more funds and accumulating more SYNC shares for itself."
You engineers are so practical. Sometimes too practical. It's a well written article - but do you really believe that major institutions will give up on MSFT & all that cash?
thewinner4us - What's your point, & what's it got to do with the article?? jargon1 - "This "article" is designed to facilitate a big short seller's day" - although there's plenty of manipulative & wishful short sellers around, it'll take more than one big short seller to successfully achieve your conspiracy theory re. MSFT.

Intelligent, well written article about 2 quality company stocks. Thank you.
BTW - PM appears to be in the midst of a Short Term down-trend since 8/21, according to Elliott Wave Technical Analysis. Meanwhile, MO is currently NOT in a similar short-term down-trend, according to Elliott. Both appear to be in Longer Term 3rd wave Elliott uptrends, although slightly ahead of themselves technically.

This article is a waste of time.
While SYNC may be going through growing pains, they're still moving forward, in bits & pieces - & showing earnings as they go (Olympics?). The lock-up is over, too. Hello? Qineqt - you wrote practically the same thing in a S. A. article about SYNC a few months ago. You haven't really addressed anything new here - just more blah, blah, blah. And - you're neither short nor long. Put your money where your mouth is - or shut up & stop wasting people's time. BTW - SYNC's current PE multiple is 18.38.

"MSFT's stock has shown a steady growth rate over the last 10 years". - Really ? Isn't it more like - "Once upon a time MSFT ....."
8/1/2002 MSFT closed at $24.54 / 8/1/2012 MSFT closed at $30.32 That equates to a 2.35% annual growth rate over the last 10 years. While factoring in MSFT's current 2.6% dividend does increase MSFT's total return, I'd be hesitant to brag about MSFT's stock price performance if I were Steve Balmer. Then again, he's zany enough to likely do just that.
An academic report concludes that as automobiles become increasingly computerized, they also become more vulnerable to viruses. Just like any machine that transmits bits of information wirelessly, hackers in theory could intercept and redirect packets of information from on-board computer systems. Look for cybersecurity firms such as CHKP, SYNC, FIRE, Intel's McAfee unit, and private firm Escrypt to create more products to address the growing issue. (full report .pdf) [View news story]
Check Point Software, Sourcefire & McAfee are certainly involved with sybersecurity. But SYNC / Synacor - a cybersecurity firm ? Please - do tell.

NYDude, I saw that NIA email re $7 too. It was from yesterday, 8/21/12 at 1:53 AM. It read:
"Synacor (SYNC) could dip from its current price of $7.86 down to $7 because most investors following the stock with plans to soon pull the trigger and rapidly accumulate it, have decided that because of SYNC's huge resistance around $8 in recent days from the share lock-up expiration, they won't pull the trigger and enter SYNC until they see it up 5% to 10% intraday."
It looks like NIA's turn around volume target of 1.1 million shares was hit today - for whatever that's worth, because I think the NASDAQ counts double volume. Not sure on that volume counting issue. ?

I think you're right, NYDude. It looks like we're getting closer. I'm waiting in the on-deck circle too.
It would be encouraging to see some institutional buying when the unlocked share selling subsides. SYNC is now a recent new member of the Russell 2000 & 3000 indexes. Sooner or later, all the funds that try to mirror those Russell indexes will have to buy SYNC.

But, what does "P&D" mean? Just curious.

The only reason SYNC is $7.98 instead of $20+ is the fact that SYNC's management has been doing a terrible job at public relations/investor relations

Caveat Emptor prevails. "Pump & Dump" rides a slippery slope.
NIA likely plays both sides - because they can. They're a "Joker" in the deck.

" ..... SYNC's 3Q guidance totally excludes the Olympics ... "
" ..... as the shorts "buy on the news" following the lockup period expiring on August 13th."
BTW - NIA currently owns 539,255 shares of SYNC.
