tks otterman I have found that if it is used as an indicator and not a stand alone its rather accurate, meaning use it in conjuction with MACD, rsi maybe larry williams %R and 5-18 MA................... what I use with the commodity charts seems to work great with stocks just like larry W or Jake says!
Thanks otterman - that's what I was looking for!
Time to churn through some more shares I guess and wait.
I just noticed the O/S was increased to 1 billion shares as of Jan 1 05. Thats not a good thing. Dilution.

Be careful with american bulls 2nd Mil, Ive been using that for about 3 months on various stocks and they are out to lunch most of the time IMO.
I doubled down today - VNTB as the Beatles sang< "Don't let me down......down let me down!

Looks like buying op to me!
AM I really seeing .002??? Huge buying opp or is something is the company firing up the presses and diluting???
Help!
Haven't seen anything on it yet!
2mil, has anyone heard about the test results on the other companys claim in regards to the % of gingeng in there product?
Any word on
The public's rush to ginseng is prompting V-Net to launch its own label of high-potency ginseng capsules and extract, all with 10% certified ginsenoside content, in the first quarter 2005.
This should be a great addition to our product line!
2mil; I can hold as long as needed. The money I put into stocks is my play money (not to say I don't want to make $$) so I don't need it to pay the bills.
Have you heard anything new about Allimax? That was the reason I bought shares in this company. O'Well, I'll wait,wait and wait somemore.
souza It will go up when Bob decides to share a little more information with us!
supply and demand decides the price, we should see a nickel sometime this year, Bob is in it for the long haul and has a lot of irons in the fire.....it may not be as much fun as trading in and out of stocks but from here the reward will be
fantatic if you can hold on!
always take some out when/if you can and play with free shares, hold some for the home run! imo
it is still a pink!
2Mil; when do you feel the PPS will go back up? are we at the bottom? I respect your opinion. Thanks
Very good - thanks 2nd mil - let's get some revenue numbers and get back up to .009 soon!
congrats, I thought it was the traders and a head and shoulders chart! Need more investors...lol
I didn't see an increased float...
Hey 2nd mil! I snagged a few more at .0038 this morning.
If I recall there was some negative press lately - did that cause the walk down - or do you know if the company issued more shares into the float???

V-Net Beverage Expands Distribution of Ginseng Rush and Ginseng Rush XXX
Thursday February 10, 8:43 am ET
BLUE ISLAND, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 2005--V-Net Beverage, Inc.(Other OTC: VNTB-News) is pleased to announce authorization approvals from nine out of our 16 natural products distributors which will expand sales of V-Net's ginseng beverages into the Southeast, Southwest and Midwest regions significantly. These nine distributors will add three new SKUs (shop keeping units): Ginseng Rush XXX in 12 oz. loose bottles (for cooler sales) and 4-packs of Ginseng Rush and Ginseng Rush XXX (for shelf sales). The new approvals engage over 10,000 retailers, groceries and specialty beverage venues. All 16 distributors currently distribute loose 12 oz. Ginseng Rush for cooler sales.
V-Net is backing up this expansion with an advertising campaign in the distributors' May promotional catalogues. This will consist of 15,000 four-color advertising inserts. The campaign promotes merchandising of the new 4-packs through an end-aisle case stack deal.
V-Net believes the timing of these approvals offers a superb opportunity to enlarge its distribution and strategically position product for the upcoming spring and summer selling season.
In addition, V-Net products will be displayed at the upcoming Anaheim EXPO WEST show http://www.newhope.com/mainpage/press1.cfm March 17 - 20th courtesy of its master distributor Modern Products. EXPO WEST is the largest trade show of the industry attracting more than 36,000 professional and trade attendees from over 80 countries.
Robert Corr, President of V-Net, said, "This is an important new wave of expansion for V-Net. Furthermore, placement of our inserts will enlighten retailers to our 4-packs and the quality of our products. (www.enjoytherush.com) We continue to build a launch pad for a robust 2005 selling season by attending EXPO WEST. Development of wholly owned non-licensed products, such as our exciting e-Water(TM), continues apace. More non-licensed V-Net offerings will provide greater margins and profits and lead to enhanced value for our shareholders. We therefore expect 2005 to usher in a new era for V-Net Beverages."
Not mail orde type items!
The allimax capsules and a few of the other products should be good even from the web site....imo
2nd Mil, gotta love $9 shipping on $6 worth of soda. EOM
From the last pr!
3) We continue with development of Allimax Nutraceutical Water(TM) and endeavor to produce a completely stabilized drink. It is targeted for production first quarter 2005. As more studies confirm garlic's role in relieving cold symptoms and defeating a broad range of microbes, we are also pursuing other means to meet the demand for allicin, garlic's active ingredient. These include allicin capsules and allicin extract on our own label.
2mil, I guess I missed that info. I was talking about Allimax, and thought I remembered a PR stateing "Allimax was being shipped to stores", so I thought it was out and about already. I apologize if I was mistaken.
Had me wondering!
in reference to the allimax seems to be a production problem...stability.
The rush products have been selling for almost a year in stores!
http://enjoyt.fatcow.com/store/page1.html
all the other products, under developement, different stages..........
2mil, In regard to the sells report; I would like to see if initial product delivery has been sold and if there was a re-order or something similar to that. This would tell me if the product is a "HIT" or if they need to advertise more to get people to try it. That's All.JMO-- Hope I made sense to you.
Thanks for the reply.
souza great idea , when it goes down on such low volume it s usually hard to get a fill on a sizeable orde...........
My average is still a little lower!
whats a sells progress report?
I use several real time programs...
2mil, I sure would like to see a SELLS progress report. Any ideas on that? Tried to get more under "Ask" price but no one would sell under .004. I'm one of those who bought in when it was .007 so I need to lower my PPS cost.
V-NET BEVERAGE INC Buy -IF
Daily Commentary
Our system posted a BUY-IF today. The previous SELL recommendation that was confirmed was made on 12.31.2004 (36) days ago, when the stock price was 0.0070. Since then VNTB has fallen -38.57% .

Today’s Candlestick Patterns:

Bullish Engulfing
Today a White Opening Marubozu was formed. This shows that the day opened and then the prices continued to go up all day long without coming below the opening level thus forming a long white body, however prices did not close at the high of the day and thus they created an upper shadow.

Anniversary Letter to Shareholders from Robert Corr, President of V-Net Beverage
1/28/2005 10:57:00 AM
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Jan 28, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- V-Net Beverage, Inc. (Pink Sheets: VNTB-News):
On 27 January 2004, I took charge of V-Net Beverage, Inc. as new president. Armed with over thirty years of experience in the natural beverage industry, I came to V-Net with the goal of transforming it into a profitable and respected company capable of delivering to consumers healthful and innovative products. In just one year, the company has made remarkable strides in positioning itself toward that end.
1) Our three popular selling products--Ginseng Rush(TM), Ginseng Rush XXX(TM) and Rush Herbal Cola(TM)--continue to obtain new placements in the marketplace. Thus, we expect a momentous 2005 as sales further accelerate.
2) V-Net's commitment to genuine ginseng and honest marketing of this extraordinary herb is evinced by our publicized "Truth in Ginseng Challenge." At V-Net we use pure Wisconsin-grown American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), in advertised quantities, in our beverages. Other brands tout ginseng on their labels. We are testing their claims by employing High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) on sample beverages. These tests will specify quantity, potency, species and origin of the ginseng they use, if any. We believe consumers should be alerted to brands with specious ginseng claims or little to no ginsenoside (ginseng's active ingredient).
Long revered in the Orient for its homeostatic and restorative properties, ginseng is just beginning to reveal its secrets to modern science. For example, in research conducted at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and funded by National Cancer Institute and U.S. Department of Defense, ginseng has demonstrated remarkable abilities to slow growth of cancer cells and defeat cancer-cell resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs.
http://news.siu.edu/news/January05/011105kj4109.html
The public's rush to ginseng is prompting V-Net to launch its own label of high-potency ginseng capsules and extract, all with 10% certified ginsenoside content, in the first quarter 2005.
3) We continue with development of Allimax Nutraceutical Water(TM) and endeavor to produce a completely stabilized drink. It is targeted for production first quarter 2005. As more studies confirm garlic's role in relieving cold symptoms and defeating a broad range of microbes, we are also pursuing other means to meet the demand for allicin, garlic's active ingredient. These include allicin capsules and allicin extract on our own label.
4) In 2004, we partnered with Fire Mountain Beverages (Pink Sheets: FRBV) to provide additional marketing and product distribution for V-Net's products on the west coast. FRBV currently sells flavored vitamin-water at thousands of locations. The arrangement will expand V-Net's marketing base for its specialty beverages, including allicin and electrolyte waters.
5) V-Net has recognized an exciting opportunity in the herb-infused wine category. We have therefore purchased a 5% stake in California's Meritage Wine Brokerage, a thriving full-service importer & distributor of fine wines from around the world. In this way, V-Net establishes a foothold in the licensed and regulated U.S. wine market. V-Net, which supplies Meritage with botanicals for their herb-infused specialty wines, has an option to purchase an additional 35% of the wine brokerage.
6) V-Net has inked an agreement with Micro Labs (OTC-BB: MLAR), developer of a patented sublingual spray delivery system which promises 90% nutrient retention rate. Under the agreement, V-Net will develop and supply botanicals, like allicin and ginseng, to Micro Labs as new items in the sublingual spray product line.
7) We are forging an agreement with Gray's Brewing Co., Janesville, WI to develop jointly ROCK HARD RUSH(TM), a pleasant tasting ginseng- and botanical-infused malt beverage. This product is expected to compete toe-to-toe with Budweiser's B-E(TM) by Anheuser Busch.
8) V-Net has received broad USPTO Class-32 Trademark Application protection for its new e-Water(TM), a specialty water charged with 70-plus dissolved colloidal electrolytes, derived from a unique fulvic-acid enriched mineral source in Utah. Fulvic acid is an organic acid which binds to crucial trace-mineral ions and renders them bio-available. It also helps remove harmful heavy metals and "free radicals" from bodily systems, and balances and energizes cell life. We look forward to bringing this exciting item to market in the near term. We intend to expand upon our electrolyte 'e' line of beverages. e-Water(TM) is only our first entry in this genre.
9) V-Net is growing. We are adding staff to develop efficiencies in distribution and marketing systems and to strategically grow our brands. Our relationship with our master distributor has been strengthened over the last few months, and we are working to add new channels of distribution.
I extend my appreciation to our loyal shareholders for their support, and will make myself available, when possible, for your salient comments and suggestions.
Stay with us in 2005. It's going to be an exciting year for V-Net.

I do agree with you. Your theories are 100% correct. Its just that this kind of thing goes on all the time, and rarely ends up with a good result. Companies lie about their products and what they do, thats a fact. The buzz however is the wildcard. Sometimes its he who makes the most noise that wins!
Interesting view. Did you read the whole artical and understand the difference in product? If this gets the buzz going I'm all for it.....Its one thing to say it on the label now lets see if quality or quantity is important!!!!!!!!!
Seems like grasping at straws to me (NO pun intended). Companies who struggle on their own often try to slander the competition. At the very least its getting into the 'semantics' of what's on a label. Cheap shot. JMO.
V-Net to test rival beverages for ginseng
1/24/2005 - V-Net Beverage has condemned the
drinks industry’s lack of transparency about its use of ginseng and is launching a ‘Truth in Ginseng’ campaign which it hopes will force manufacturers to reveal full information about herbal content on the label, reports Jess Halliday.
The company plans to submit a number of rival beverages purporting to contain ginseng - such as Coca-Cola's Full Throttle and PepsiCo's SoBe – to the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) test to determine the quantity, potency, species and origin of the ginseng used.
Robert Corr, president of V-Net, plans to expose products containing no trace of ginsenosides, the active saponin glycosides present in the root of plants belonging to the panax genus which are thought to have energy-boosting and aphrodisiac properties.
He said: “The consumer has no idea of the quality or quantity of ginseng used in the beverages of our major competitors."
"Hypothetically, they could take one drop of our ginseng extract and add it to a bathtub full of water. They could then take one drop from that bathtub, add it to their beverage, and write ginseng on the container in bold letters."
The 2002 Farm Bill established that the term ‘ginseng’ should be used only to describe plants of the panax genus, of which two species, Chinese (panax ginseng) and American (panax quinquefolius), are used commercially.
The Siberian variety (eleuthero or eleutherococcus senticosus), which does not contain ginsenosides and sells for less than a tenth of the price of American and Chinese ginseng, may not be called ginseng under the bill.
Corr told NutraIngredients-USA.com he thinks the Farm Bill is full of loopholes and still allows companies to cheat. He is pressing for amendments that would make it obligatory for them to identify the species on product labels.
“I suspect that there are a number of people out there who are not using American ginseng or who are using eleuthero. This is going to be a wake up call for people who don’t know what they are doing,” said Corr.
Neither Coca Cola nor SoBe had responded to NutraIngredientsUSA.com’s invitation to comment on the Truth in Ginseng campaign before publication.
V-Net’s drinks contain only American ginseng grown in Wisconsin because only Wisconsin has strict laws regulating growing and processing of ginseng and guarantees there are no harmful pesticide residues, according to Corr.
In December 2004 the FDA issued a national warning after imported ginseng containing pesticide residues was seized from Livingston, NJ-based FCC Products. Procymidone and quintozene are deemed unsafe by the FDA because no tolerance has been established for residues in ginseng.
The seized ginseng was intended for use in supplements. In August the FDA issued a warning letter to Illinois’ NOW Foods after quintozene was detected in one lot of its American ginseng product. NOW Foods responded by testing all of its ginseng products, recalling all lots of American ginseng and changing its testing method and ginseng supplier.
Buy If!
Is this finally a good time to buy? Well, it depends. First check what happened at after hours trading and future values. Then, follow the next session very carefully and be on your toes. This candlestick pattern is a bullish one, but we have to see whether it will be confirmed or not.
Do you see a gap-up at the market open? Do you see a white candlestick forming with a higher close at the session's end? Shortly, is it a nice bullish day? If so, place your buy orders and open new long positions. The market is now on the bull side.

2nd, bob has a good point. If I was not in this stock I would not have known there are different types and strengths of Ginseng.
V-Net Beverages Issues ''Truth in Ginseng'' Challenge to Beverage Industry
Wednesday January 19, 1:57 pm ET
BLUE ISLAND, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 2005--V-Net Beverage, Inc. (Other OTC:VNTB.PK - News) is launching a nationwide "Truth in Ginseng" campaign. The purpose is threefold: to urge industry-wide full-disclosure in ginseng labeling, to support stringent testing and authentication of ginseng products, and to educate consumers about beverages proclaiming "ginseng" on the bottle or can.
As Robert Corr, president of V-Net put it, "It's been 27 years since I created the first ginseng soft-drink of modern times and rekindled nationwide interest in this extraordinary herb. Nowadays, store shelves are laden with drinks, such as Coca-Cola's Full Throttle(TM), PepsiCo's SoBe(TM) line, Anheuser Busch's B-E(TM) and others that denote "ginseng" on their labels. The questions remain: how much and what type of ginseng root do these beverages contain, of what potency and where grown? After two decades of playing games, it's time for the beverage industry to be upfront with consumers about ginseng. V-Net has shown the way."
Corr noted the federal Farm Bill 2002 corrects the confusion arising from application of the term "ginseng" to Eleutherococcus senticosus (so-called Siberian ginseng, "Eleuthero"). The new law establishes that "ginseng" shall apply only to plants of the genus Panax. There are eight Panax species, but only two, Panax ginseng (Chinese ginseng) and Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng) are used commercially. Eleutherococcus sells for under $2.00/lb whereas American ginseng root trades for $25.00/lb.
"At V-Net, we use quality Wisconsin-grown American Ginseng root (Panax quinquefolius) exclusively in our beverages," said Bob Corr. "We shun foreign-grown ginseng because only Wisconsin has strict laws regulating growing and processing of ginseng. Strict oversight guarantees Wisconsin ginseng does not have harmful pesticide residues. In December, the FDA seized Asian-grown ginseng tainted by a cancer-causing fungicide (quintozene), banned for crops in the United States but used elsewhere. Not only is Asian-grown ginseng suspect. Quintozene is legal in Canada, a major ginseng exporter." (http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ANSWERS/2004/ANS01334.html)
V-Net currently markets three ginseng beverages: Ginseng Rush(TM), Ginseng Rush XXX(TM) and Rush Herbal Cola(TM). Each 12 oz. bottle of Ginseng Rush contains 5 ml. American Ginseng extract. V-Net's extract is made by blending one full pound of American Ginseng dry root into one gallon of a water/alcohol mixture. Ginseng Rush XXX and Rush Herbal Cola contain 15 ml. and 3.8 ml. of this ginseng extract, respectively.
"The consumer has no idea of the quality or quantity of ginseng used in beverages of our major competitors," said Corr. "Hypothetically, they could take one drop of our ginseng extract and add it to a bathtub full of water. They could then take one drop from that bathtub, add it to their beverage, and write "ginseng" on the container in bold letters. To make matters worse, they could be using foreign-grown ginseng. Naturally, we have full faith they are following the law and using real ginseng and not "Eleuthero". With Ginseng Rush and Ginseng Rush XXX, our label tells how much ginseng is in the bottle and where it's from. We're proud of that."

Hope this helps.
FYI, I heard this on the local news last night. I am still looking for a news item on line but I think you should know because it may have an effect on VNTB.
Sobey's food stores have been fined, for claiming that some of their own beverage drinks have health benefits.
What they said on the news is that it is illegal to make such claims.
I would appreciate some DD help on this as these types of articles have a way of being buried from the public.
would be perfect for vnet.eom
