You might wanna have a look at it. It's heavily pumped by the people (Lebed and the "national inflation association") that pumped Broadvision (BVSN) from $8 to $50+ (now back to the teens, by the way), but unlike BVSN, SYNC is a real growing company and the stock is back at the levels where they started pumping earlier this month.
Unlike BVSN, SYNC has real revenue and earnings momentum and if you can pump BVSN five-fold with declining sales and increasing losses, some kind of lift-off might very well happen with SYNC. At 1,5 times sales, it isn't even that expensive.
But do your own DD, this is only a suggestion. It's certainly not for the faint of heart. But the company is really of a totally different kind than their previous pump (BVSN).

Well, it's rebounding 10% at the moment..

Well, in the end it rebounded 14% today, in an otherwise pretty bad day. While further increases are by no means impossible, we wouldn't get in anymore right now.

Well, you have to give it to this Lebed guy, on a bleak day, they manage to get this to an all-time high through relentless promotion

Certainly got the ball rolling at the moment:

Mike Reynolds -- Multichannel News, 7/5/2012 4:31:40 PM
Synacor Inc.'s TV Everywhere Platform is serving as the authentication device for almost 40 video distributors of NBCUniversal's coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Buffalo, N.Y.-based Synacor's TV Everywhere Platform on behalf of the company's pay-TV clients -- a roster that includes No. 3 distributor Dish Network and No. 6 Charter Communications -- will potentially verify tens of millions of CNBC and MSNBC subscribers, so they will be able to access NBCU's 3,500 hours of live streaming Olympic action and attendant content from London.

With more than 5,500 hours of coverage planned via its various vehicles, NBCU will cover every frame of Olympic action from London as some 3500 hours of it will be available digitally via computers, smartphones and tablets to authenticated subscribers to the aforementioned cable networks.The programmer has initiated an array of marketing tactics, including customized tutorials with Carson Daly for the top 16 distributors, to make consumers aware of the unprecedented digital dive they can take with the Games, provided they authenticate.
"It's the Olympics-we couldn't be more excited working with NBC Universal on their mission to deliver a multi-device, world-class TV Everywhere experience across-the-board, " said Michael Bishara, Synacor vice president and general manager for TV Everywhere. "More than ever, our pay-TV customers including Chater, Dish, Cable One, Mediacom, Suddenlink, WOW! and more will rely upon Synacor's unparalleled TV Everywhere platform advantages such as rapid-launch and multi-device capabilities, extensive cable operator one-to-many relationship management, and easy-deployment of marketing campaign materials across numerous consumer-facing cable operator websites."

Up another 12% this morning, after a couple of minutes of trading. Amazing.
RE: Synacor (SYNC) - admin - 07-11-2012
Up to a whopping $18 this morning, then fell to $15 and a bit (NIA unloading?)
If you're interested we have some research reports on the company (see attachment).

Citigroup commented, "Synacor is up meaningfully over the past month, which we attribute to retail investor interest in TV Everywhere. We don't see any fundamental reason to support the current valuation – which is at a meaningful premium to peers – so we're downgrading to Sell. We maintain our $15.50 target price."
RE: Synacor (SYNC) - admin - 07-11-2012
Interesting, thanks for that Petro. The analysts I have reports from all have a $10 target, so City is meaningfully higher. Quite a day though, fluctuating between $13.44 and $18 so far. I also had an article out this morning. I would regard everything above $10 as the 'NIA premium,' but with City's target at $15 (where it's trading now), that's perhaps a little conservative.

Thanks Petro, there are some fun and games here with the price crashing to $7.8 in a battle between the pumpers and some of the shorts and end of lock-up period for some investors. This seems a good trading opportunity to me. What's not in doubt that the company is real and is growing pretty fast, with Citygroup having a $15.5 target on them, it would be surprising if the shares didn't get back to $9-10 at least.
