CIRC BUY RECOMMENDATION:

Remember that CIRC is a tracking stock of the parent corporation SNC Snyder Communications. Circle.com was spun off of SNC because it is their high growth vehicle. You would expect the high growth part of the business to grow faster than the parent companies remaining business.

When looking at a 10 chart on SNC you will see a quick rebound over the last two days in the SNC stock price. This rebound has not been reflected in the shares of Circle.com as the price has continued to fall. The price continues to fall because investor's have watched the decline from just over 19 and are now in a "get rid of the stuff at any price mode". CIRC is now well over sold, and should easily rebound to above 16 from the oversold position in any event.

Look at the 10 day chart for SNC that I have provided below. The 10 day chart comes from Big Charts as of one half hour ago. SNC opened at 13 11/16 this am and is currently trading up 7/16 for the day. This is the second day in a row of SNC's stock price rebounding.

Please go to the next post for reasons the price is beginning to rebound.

We all know the client list that Circle.com has posted in their last press release and as reported in Briefing.com. Briefing.com was not wrong in their assessment of the potential of Circle.com. What we as investors have failed to do was to take a look at the growth of the parent company. Their recent news releases reflect the continuing relationships that SNC has in the industry. Here is a news release posted yesterday by the Washington Times on SNC.

Nov. 15 (The Washington Times/KRTBN)--TRAHAN, BURDEN & CHARLES OPENS CAPITOL HILL OFFICE: Trahan, Burden & Charles, the Baltimore-based advertising agency, has opened a new office in Washington. The full-service office will be directed by Sally Aman, who has joined the firm as vice president. Ms. Aman was most recently managing director at Chlopak, Leonard, Schecter & Associates, a public relations firm in the District. Prior to that position she served as Tipper Gore's communications director from 1993 to 1997.

The Washington TBC office, located on Capitol Hill, will be working with a variety of clients including Disney Regional Entertainment's ESPN Zone and the American Federation of Medical Research.
"Over the years we've had many business opportunities arise with clients based in the Washington D.C. market and it reached the point where it made sense to open an office in that location," said TBC vice chairman and chief executive officer Sandra S. Hillman in a statement.

Trahan, Burden & Charles, which has $142 million in billings, has additional offices in New York and Reno, Nev. Account wins

Arnold Communications, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Snyder Communications in Bethesda, has been awarded the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines integrated marketing account. The campaign will include television, print, Internet development, e-commerce, public relations, direct marketing, brand promotions and travel agent relations.
Arnold, based in Boston, was among three finalists for the account including incumbent McKinney & Silver in Raleigh, NC and Temerlin McClain in Irving, Texas. Baltimore-based Diliberto Inc. adds GenVec Inc., a developer of gene-therapy products, to its client list. Diliberto will develop a corporate identity, design a Web site and create marketing and public relations programs for the Rockville-based company.

-- Donna De Marco can be reached at 202/636-4884. Advertising & Marketing runs biweekly.

CIRC BUY RECOMMENDATION:

From the last news release, I am sure you noted the "names" associated with the new office opened in Washington D.C. Their is some real political clout with the opening of the new office. Since I live just outside Washington D.C., and have done so for the last 20 years, I recognize the political position that the new office puts SNC in. Also, not the names of the clients the new agency has already listed and the size of the revenues produced. Not second rate in my opinion.

But, thats not all. It is important to realize who the clients of SNC are. They show the continuing growth of SNC in the industry and the level at which they are functioning. You don't get top name clients with a bad reputation.

The second news release also refers to a JV of SNC and their newest client. You might say that SNC is a "golden" opportunity. Read the next news release about SNC and their Canadian partnership.

CIRC BUY RECOMMENDATION:

I am an active day trader, and have been one for quite a few years. I learned from my mistakes and know how to spot a short term opportunity as well as a long term opportunity. I am not looking at CIRC as a day trade or a short term investment.

The current price of Circle.com is way over sold and undervalued to its true potential. We are only days or weeks away from significant news releases and analyst coverage about CIRC. I expect to see the price surge from its current levels before the end of this year given the expectations for news releases and coverage to come.

CIRC has triple digit growth right now in a hot sector. The value of the business is not reflected in the current stock price. What is reflected in the current price is the "attitude" of current investors in SNC who have sold their spin off shares in CIRC to offset their losses from SNC. We all know that SNC is the fastest growth vehicle that SNC has, thus the spin off.

At todays prices, CIRC is going to go up. I believe we are at or close to a bottom. As soon as the public finds out more about Circle.com the share price and the volume will increase dramatically and shoot part the old highs of around 20. Conservatively, and this is my gut estimations only, the stock value should be in the 25 to 30 range at fair value. When the momentum traders get ahold of the news and their volume enters into the arena, you could see the stock price quickly surpass the fair market price estimation above.

I'm in and buying more shares at this level.
