I thought .001 was the bottom...lol
The price goes lower but I'm not able to pick up many shares before they bring it back up!
I'm not to concerned about the price as long as Corr follows threw with his plan.....imo
2MIL; In your opinion do you feel 0009 is close to the bottom? I also would like to average down. To do that I would have to probably buy all of the O/S.LOL -- Sorry, just begging for help.
now if we could just get some figures????
The team of Corr and Coronado confirmed a West Coast bottling facility in Southern California to handle the blending and packaging of e-Water(TM). The 150,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art plant is prepared to produce and warehouse e-Water(TM) as retail channels open. Additional facilities in Colorado have been secured to meet further demand.

I feel the pain!
I'm making it up with plni with plenty of more to go in it!
I'm also averaging down here so when it takes off i can get to even quicker and have plenty of shares for the run......
2MIL; when is the bleeding going to stop? Is this company going to make it? I'm down 700% and starting to lose confidence. O'well I'm making up the loses with TNOG and PTSC. Getting into Costco would be BIG. IMO
V-Net has also announced a bottling agreement with Nationwide Beverage Bottling Inc. (NBVB.PK), Corona, CA to produce its new e-Water(TM) in 16.9 oz and 12 oz sizes. This new location will handle its ever-increasing West Coast distribution, by becoming a central distribution point for all its products. Utilizing this facility, V-Net will realize increased profitability by reducing its freight and production costs.

Nationwide Beverage Bottling Corp. Completes Successful Roll-out with Costco
CORONA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 2005--Nationwide Beverage Bottling Corp. (Pink Sheets:NBVB) announced today that it has completed its first month of the Costco "Road Show" where new products are introduced to Costco Wholesale Warehouse member-shoppers.
Steve Rice, president and CEO of Nationwide, said: "We are pleased to have completed the first month of introducing the KoKomo(TM) brand products in Costco's San Diego, California Region which is comprised of 47 stores. We are especially proud that the KoKomo(TM) Mountain Spring Water flavored beverages were one of the best-selling products introduced in the stores in recent years, according to Costco representatives."
This coming weekend, Nationwide will expand its Costco "Road Show" into Northern California and Arizona. By the end of this month, the company expects to complete the roll-out of the full line of KoKomo(TM) beverages in most Costco stores in San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles Counties, as well as in Northern California, Arizona and Nevada.
I think once eWater hit the shelves all over the designated regions, it will create exposure as water drinking consumers will mention to their friends and so on... the potential is there it seems for VNET. I hope they will sell eWater as i can't wait to give them a try.
I have the feeling V-Net finally has the wind at its back. Nationwide Bottlers loves e-Water so much they are party to its distribution. Nationwide has powerful incentive to push this product. And that's just the first joint venture item. Word is e-Water will also be bottled in the MidWest. This means VNTB will have national coverage in time for summer thirst season. If e-Water works so good on plants, imagine how it will revitalize the human body. I also have the feeling that significant money will materialize from factors without, who are more than interested in Corr's experience and the vast potential of V-Net as a public beverage company in a world where the beverage sector is on fire, as it were.
ninjaturtle
Only opinions, opinions, opinions.
Still have some time here, I would like a few more million for trading......
I bit a little, spent most of mine on that other stock, no millions of shares in portfolio on this one. Maybe when we both get our 3rd Millions.
This should be happening several places in the US and maybe France! imo

ninja, think your right...there are a few other things they/Bob should tell us about if they were finalized!
VNTB A "good buy" or a "good-bye"? I think the former. The pervasive level of bearishness alone in re: VNTB supports the contrarian (viz., the bullish) argument.
V-Net threw off the shackles imposed by do-nothing Modern Products, which was directly responsible for not refilling the shelves of Safeway and other retailers with Ginseng Rush and Gingseng Rush XXX. It's good to be rid of them; V-Net will now deal directly (on a first name basis) with its distributors. Previously, V-Net rid itself of the Allimax pariah.
This bird may finally be ready to fly.
In my opinion.
My Last post today
Tell me Why I should buy this......
I asked the same question to anyone who I can find as part of my DD....
Is this the one that will make me a Billionaire so I can tell my boss to shove it?

Thanks will keep an eye on it!
Yeah? Looks juct like VNTB's chart from the last 2 years:) The HCCF promo started only yesterday. You could have bought at .006 yeserday and sold for .008 today. Bigger things coming. Watch for it. Point is HCCF is attempting to do something about it.
OT: Take a look at HCCF and see what good promo and news releases can do. Its a frenzy over there.
Now you got it!
Corr said the last time I talked to him that a lot more were calling that week, I mentioned the webcast expired after a week and we hadn't heard about France etc and wasn't sure he even went!
The More calls the more incentive to update us! imo
COURT WINE RULING MAY UNCORK NEW MARKETS
Copyright 2005 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
NAPA, CA -- A Supreme Court ruling that opens the door to more direct wine shipments elated vineyards from Napa to New York but disappointed wholesalers cited concerns about tax collections and underage drinking.
The 5-4 decision issued Monday struck down laws in New York and Michigan as discriminatory because they allow in-state wineries, but not out-of-state businesses, to ship directly to consumers. As many as 24 states now will have to revise their laws so wineries are treated equally.
The winemakers said it would promote Internet sales, leading to lower prices and more choices.
"There's a lot of smiling faces out there," said Michaela Rodeno, CEO of St. Supery Winery in Napa Valley.
The cha-ching of the cash register isn't ringing just yet, though.
State legislatures will ultimately decide how best to put wineries on equal footing - either by loosening restrictions to let all wineries sell directly to consumers, or by tightening laws to bar all businesses from doing so.
While the ruling only involves wine sales, industry groups expect it will soon apply to beer and other alcoholic beverages now regulated through state-licensed wholesalers and retailers.
Wholesalers had argued direct shipping would cut tax revenues and give teens unprecedented access to alcohol. They want in-person ID checks before all sales.
On its Web site, the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America said it would support strengthening alcohol laws.
"To those who want to eliminate local controls over alcohol, we say: soaring profits should not come before sound public policy," according to wholesale industry group.
For Rodeno, the ruling could mean doubling the size of her mail-order wine club, which now has about 3,000 members.
While wineries have proliferated, there also has been consolidation. Smaller businesses say they can't compete with huge companies unless they can sell directly to customers over the Internet or by letting visitors to their wineries ship bottles home.
"For years, all we could do is write them nice notes once in a while and say, 'Hi, remember us?'" Rodeno said.
The ruling may have the biggest impact on California, which produces more than 90 percent of the nation's wines. It does not affect international wineries.
New Vine Logistics, a Napa-based company that specializes in wine shipping, distributed about 1 million bottles last year and is on track to double that this year, with almost 30 percent of shipments going to New York wholesalers, said Kathleen Schumacher, its CEO and president.
Schumacher was cautious about how Monday's ruling would play out but said if New York decides to allow out-of-state shipments, "that would be an enormous impact for us. There's a lot of demand in New York."
In west-central New York's Finger Lakes, a region of lakes, hills and valleys with 92 wineries, most sales are made in tasting rooms.
Peter Saltonstall, who owns King Ferry Winery, was expecting big things from the Supreme Court ruling.
"In the years to come, people will look back and see this one thing will have driven the expansion of the New York wineries and really put us on the map," he said.
I have to agree with fff on his comment, those CEO's like to lather on the chocholate sauce. Talk is cheap, if there was somthing to report, go public, otherwise its all hearsay.
You cant possibly think that 50,000 shareholders calling the CEO is better than a PR? Mass marketing will do wonders for the stock price.
PS, no offense taken or meant. Im just bored 'cause the action has been very slow.
Only have the figure Corr gave me for float, o/s etc...
I worked in Retail Mgmt my career so I am aware of always painting a rosy picture!lol
The questions you ask are valid and would like to see the answerers in print. Still wouldn't mean there complete or accurate!
Thats why this is so much fun.....
2Mil/ thinkingbigfl, just like I told you on the other board;
CEOs will ALWAYS tell you things are great. I have never talked to a single one that ever said anything bad about what was going on even if it was obvious.
Where is VNTB getting the $$$ to do anything? Have you checked O/S recently?
Good luck.
Your kidding right!
This is a pink, It would take less time and most likely no money with the right phone plan to call and find out how busy he is and some things that are in the works.... beats the hell out of complaining on these boards...
but thats only my opinion!!!!
no offense.....
Not shy? Then he should tell me, tell us all. It is not our responsibility to spend our time and money to wrangle information out of him, he should be forthcoming. What is he afaid of? The stock price will go up? Down? I can understand that in 'the bigger picture' of a company's future certain information may be with held until an appropriate time, but there has been ample opportunity to keep the investors updated. A simple press release costs next to nothing.
3 months have passed since 'early March' production of e-water was announced, and no comment since. Oh wait, thats right, they dropped 2 other products. How's this going?
March 23 they announced they were going to a trade show. No comment since. What happened?
The Meritage Wines announcement was confusing at the least.
And the Wall Street interview is an outdated dead link.
For a man who clained he was going to save the company he sure is beginning to look like every other CEO of a pinkie.
Check out GTEL's history if you want to see how to save a company.
One of the first things he need to do is be honest and open.
Then call him!
He is not shy to tell you whats going on!
Been a lot of speculation regarding the lack of news lately. IMO it can only be a bad thing. Mr Corr has been to a trade show and marketing in Europe and no feedback. I can only assume he is hiding something.
My faith in any kind of significant price move is dwindling fast.
Hmm, looks a lot like a dead cat bounce last week? Although, last time it traded this much volume and hit a low, it jumped from .0015 to .0035 in a week. What will it be? (or was that the jump on Friday?)
Let's bring on that news - back in the toilet we go! @#$%
Lots of volume and action.... this one should conitnue up for at least one more day!
It has been a while since the last PR... with all their actiivity in the specialty bottled water, especially the expansion of production capability, this one will fly with a little news!
yep! VNTB! LOL
Good job on PLNI...I want a little more!
Then I will add more here!
This did dip briefly to triple 0009 - I'm through averaging down on VNTB. Everytime I do, I must jinx it, and it dips farther! lol
Still holding a buttload of shares - just NOT HAPPY!
Nice trades on PLNI - I got out with a mere double!
No way talked to Corr friday ...time to buy!
just need to get a little more out of PLNI!!!!!!!!!
Good morning fellow bagholders - Sorry to say, but looks like this POS is going triple "0"?

Fire Mountain Beverage Company Agrees to Partner with S.E.A.P. to Help Obtain a Market Share of So. California Schools, to Market Its Products
Wednesday April 27, 12:02 pm ET

The current trend for California and other states is to provide students with healthier beverage options; and it is our belief that our products will provide a solution to the California Board of Education. Getting our products into the schools could represent millions and millions of dollars in revenue for us, SEAP has been instrumental in doing this for other beverage companies in the past. Exposure is one of our number one goals; this relationship helps to achieve that.''

Flavoring the market
New Dasani and Aquafina extensions hit shelves as flavored waters pour in
The flavored water market continues to explode, as the top two bottled water marketers in the US introduce new entries into the segment within a segment.
Both Coca-Cola North America and Pepsi-Cola North America last month launched — almost simultaneously — extensions of their respective bottled water lines.
Coke's new offerings, Dasani Lemon and Dasani Raspberry, launched just as news of Pepsi's new additions, Aquafina Sparkling and FlavorSplash, reached the market. "We think [these flavors] will offer points of differentiation for a brand that's all about good-tasting hydration," says Coke spokesperson Ray Crockett.
The zero-calorie products are sweetened with Splenda- brand sucralose.
Pepsi's Aquafina Sparkling and FlavorSplash also are zero-calorie offerings. The latter product is available in three flavors, Raspberry, Citrus Blend and Wild Berry. The carbonated Aquafina Sparkling is available in unflavored, as well as Lemon-Lime and Berry flavors.
"People are now seeking variety in their waters, but they're still looking to avoid the calories," observes Pepsi North America spokesperson Nicole Bradley. "The flavored and sparkling segments have been key drivers of water growth over the past year and this is the ideal time to release the new products."
Independent beverage market analyst Manny Goldman agrees about the timing.
"It's all an attempt to leverage what has become the most noteworthy trend in beverages in decades with the growth of plain old water," Goldman says. "It makes sense because how much does it cost to put a little flavor in? Not very much."
The new launches coincide with the release of a Beverage Marketing Corporation report analyzing the flavored water market, The Flavored Water Market: Boom or Bust? by the company's senior editor, Roger Dilworth. According to the report, annual flavored water sales could exceed US$600 million within the next few years. The study, the first in Beverage Marketing's Focus Report series, concedes that it's difficult to predict flavored water's trajectory precisely, as it is still a fledgling segment. The US$600 million figure is cited as the medium-growth scenario, whereas the high-end projection is in the neighborhood of US$800 million. The worst-case scenario for the segment is that it would spike for a couple of years and then decline.

Take a look at this Bob mentioned it the last time I talked to him!
http://www.coolmountain.com/index2.html
feel better? When he gets back from France we shall hopefully hear good news!
My nearly 1mil shares bought a lot higher wishes this company would get back on somebody's radar. Dropping, but thankfully on small volume.
Will continue to hold, but this stock has not been any fun in a long time.
OK - whining over!

Alternative medicine attracts older Americans, study
4/12/2005 - Over-50s are bigger users of alternative medicine than other age groups, with 71 percent saying they turned to at least one of six forms (herbal medicine, acupuncture, chiropractor, massage therapy, breathing exercises or meditation) in 2000, according to a study at Ohio State University.
“The percentage of older adults who used alternative medicine was higher than I expected,” said author Gong-Soog Hong.
More than one third of all US adults use complementary and alternative medicine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2002 National Health Interview Survey. Almost 20 percent of these take natural products, such as herbs or other botanicals.
Hong and colleagues used data from the NIH-funded 2000 Health and Retirement Survey, carried out at the University of Michigan.
They found that alternative medicine is particularly prevalent among people who described themselves as in poor health, 64 percent of whom said they used some form that they considered preventative or curative.
Sixty-three percent of respondents said they had tried alternative therapies because they were not satisfied with the mainstream healthcare they were receiving.
According to Gong the figures are cause for some concern:
“Many types of alternative medicine have not been tested for safety and effectiveness, and yet a large majority of older adults are using them. This tells us there is a serious need for more consumer education.”
Unlike other areas of alternative medicine however, the herbal industry has taken a number of steps to ensure the safety and efficacy of products. Industry associations such as the American Herbal Products Association (APHA) and the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) have been working closely with the FDA to bring about full implementation of DSHEA, the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, especially with regard to new dietary ingredients.
Last week the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the Office of Dietary Supplements announced that they were providing five university-based dietary supplement research centers with millions of dollars in funding over the next five years to further our knowledge of their mechanisms and phytochemical constituents.
University of Minnesota’s College of Pharmacy has also set up a new Center for Dietary Supplement Safety to collect, analyze and disseminate information about the safety of dietary supplements marketed in the US.
The center attracted the praise of industry body the CRN, which said it believes the move “will help rebuild consumer confidence in the safety of supplement products”.
However Hong said believes more effort should be made across the board:
“More scientific research is needed to examine the safety and effectiveness of alternative medicines, especially about possible interaction effects when they are used along with prescription drugs”.
Recognizing the need for further research into why older adults are using alternative medicine, Hong is currently working on a new study that will take a more comprehensive look at the type and frequency of alternative medicines people are using.
The latest statistics from the US Census Bureau show that 45 and 64 year-olds are America’s largest age group, making up 23.6 percent of the population. People aged 65 and over make up 12.4 percent.
