Nobody pays attention to any news coming out of Pittsburgh, as reflected by the stock price. Nobody is investing in our CEO.
In fact, those millions of dollars sitting on the sidelines I have mentioned here are going in different directions. They WILL NOT invest in IVDN as long as Joe Riccelli is running things.
IVDN is a great example on how not to run a company.
I have been calling for Joe Riccelli to be fired for almost 5 years. If this was a REAL company, he would have been long gone. But IVDN is not a REAL company. It is a mom and pop with no employees. This company should have remained private and never sold stock. It was Joe's ego that brought this company public. It is Joe's ego that keeps him in the CEO chair.
Where is the BOD's? Probably hanging at Joe's house for a Sunday BBQ?
You notice that nobody can defend him except to say the he mortgaged his home during the FTC trail. The poster that called you and I "idiots", the poster that I challenged to defend our CEO, has not responded to that challenge. Why? Because he can't.
Where are you GD11? Adding up your loses?
BTW, the last quarters record sales came when our CEO was flat on his back in the hospital. He was not "diligently" working with our management team, he was in survival mode.
The next quarters sales will S-UCK, waiting for the boat from Asia to arrive.
It is time to FIRE our CEO.
I am not looking for wealth. I just want $2 a share and sell out my position. $40K will buy me a new RV or boat for the lake.
I am a long term investor, over a decade. I am in my 70's like our idiot CEO. Any longer and I will be dead. Our CEO doesn't have many years left either. Joe will never see any wealth from all his work (jajaja)
I am only here riding on the houses money having pulled my initial investment money out when the stock last hit $2 a share about 10 years ago.. Otherwise I would have been long gone by now.
Hey GD11, aren't you going on close to 20 years tying up your money in IVDN. Are you still purchasing stock and chasing after the dragon.
Nobody is investing in IVDN as long as Joe Riccelli is running things.
Hey GD11, this idiot would like you to educate me on how smart an investor your are. Please share with all of us how much money you have made investing in IVDN for last 18 years.
Aren't you loading up now at these cheap prices?
Explain why Joe Riccelli is your superhero.
Teach me!!! This idiot wants you wisdom.
Performance Overview
Return IVDN S&P 500
YTD -30.95% +15.04%
1-Year -60.81% +24.43%
3-Year -42.00% +29.97%
This is all after the FTC trial. Why would anybody purchase IVDN stock? Pathetic!!!
Any other CEO would have been shown the door with a record like this.
Where are the real investor? We have the same 250 shareholders. Real investors are purchasing other stocks. They are smart enough to stay away from Joe Riccelli.
Real investor are not paying attention to your posts. Real investors won't purchase IVDN stock.
GD11,idiots? For posting the truth about our incompetent CEO? He is an old 75 years. Kind of like Biden. He is sickly and kind of feeble. He is a total failure. Why do you support him?
Tell us all about the great business mind of Joe Riccelli. Tells us about all his lifelong accomplishments. You can't. He is just a poor used car salesman that can't sell the golden Cadillac.
You have lost money on your investment in IVDN. Stock market is booming and IVDN is in the sh-tter, where it has been for over a decade.
Everything posted by Profitscout and Jedi (I think they are the same person) is total BS. Just puking out the company line. Few if any pay attention to the company. news. Nobody is investing in IVDN. Nobody wants IVDN stock.
This company is going nowhere until Joe Riccelli moves on. Nobody is investing in him. Corning, DuPont, Kimberly Clark are not knocking at IVDN's door. Nobody is buying us out.
Profitscout, accountable to the SEC? Really? When was the last shareholders meeting? NEVER!!!!! I never voted for any of our directors. What has the BOD done to protect shareholders (except diluting our stock and putting it in their pockets)? I would love to see an SEC investigation. I would be willing to lose the $4000 my stock is worth just to see Joe Riccelli rot in prison for the rest of his life.
It is criminal how IVDN has a revolutionary, game changing product with so many different uses, not have proper management.
GD11, see if you can post an intelligent response with out calling anyone an IDIOT. Tell us all how great our CEO is.
I want this company to be successful. I want to see $2 a share. I want to purchase some new toys before I die.
Simple !!!!!!!! Nobody will invest in IVDN as long as Joe Riccelli is CEO. He has proven that he is incompetent. He is an old man, sickly, and in poor health. NOBODY with money will give that idiot anything. Searay, Joe is the reason IVDN is wallowing in sh-t for the last decade.
Most posters here are just plain delusional. The think this stock is worth $20-30 a share. They have been thinking that for a decade. I will sell my 20,000 shares for $2.00 today.
This stock is priced right where it should be. Get rid of Joe and we will be $1 a share overnight. Millions of dollars, sitting on the sidelines, will flow into IVDN.
Then you have the cheerleaders, getting paid to regurgitate the same crap over and over again. Nobody believes their posts are true. Nobody pays any attention to their post.
The next quarter will be one of the best that IVDN has ever done. Maybe $500K in sales in a multi-million dollar market.. The 4th quarter will s-ck big time. Stock price will remain about the same as today.
I have a spare $50K laying around. I won't give IVDN one cent until our CEO moves on. Once Joe is gone I will purchase more stock. So will many others sitting on the sideline.
This company is a great example of "BUSINESS MALPRACTICE"
Searay, you are 150% correct.
This is all about IVDN management and our CEO. I don't understand why there are any shareholders that support our IDIOT CEO. Not being ready to meet the moment is all on our CEO. No more Arctic Armor is on our CEO. Letting the testing machine fall into such disrepair and WAITING 3 years to finally spend the money is on our CEO. The Junior Trend deal falling apart is on our CEO. No Phoenix Nano 2 million dollar yearly deal is on our CEO. No Home Depot or Lowes is all on our CEO. Not completing a the installation of the manufacturing machine and building a factory is all on our CEO.
Almost all the Tweets or press releases have never came true. They are just a continuing "Pack of Lies"
The cheerleaders, a shrinking group of shareholders, want to blame the FTC trail. BS, it is our IDIOT CEO.
I have been posting this for 3 years. This company is going nowhere until Joe Riccelli is put out to pasture. He is the only reason we are where we are, 15 cents a share. In fact it might be too late for IVDN even if we FIRE JOE RICCELLI.
The only one not lying here is me.
Very well written Pitcook. You have sounded the story about the "potential" of Insultex very well. It is a story I have heard many times for the last 15 years. In the last 15 years, nobody has gotten too excited about the Insultex story either.
But you FAIL in the most important area of your wishful story. You post about "Now without pointing fingers or blaming blame" It is long past due that we point the fingers and place the blame.
We are where we are, 15 cents a share, less than 1/1000 of 1% market share because our CEO is incompetent, an idiot, egotistical, and a poor business man. On top of that Joe Riccelli is now an old man, in poor health who can not put in the time or has the energy to grow the company. He has not been able to attract investment, even at 3 nickles a share. Facts are facts.
Why do people still support Joe Riccelli? What is he holding over the BOD's heads to keep him in the CEO chair?
The big boys are not afraid of IVDN as we have no market share. By the time we can ramp up in the next 2-3 years, DuPont, Corning or KC will develop the "next new revolutionary" house wrap. Then the 250 IVDN shareholders will be left wondering what happened.
I would like to see IVDN on the auction block today. I will swap my shares for, lets say, DuPont. Imagine if DuPont bought us out and took the "New and Improved Tyvek2" to market. Then Insultex, rebranded as Tyvek2, will have millions of dollars in sales a week. Stay with our CEO we are going nowhere.
Once our CEO is fired, stock price goes up to a $1 instantly. There is up to 10 million dollars waiting on the sidelines to invest into IVDN. But not if Joe Riccelli is still CEO. That money will not be there much longer.
Pitcook, 18 years ago, I had this exact same DREAM. You learn about a revolutionary product nobody else knows about, a real ground floor opportunity. It is a great dream. Then reality sets in. The man who controls this product made one bad decision after another for the last 18 years. It is like a bad JOKE.
I hope you all realize your dream of getting RICH. My motivation is different now that I am an old man in my 70's, just like our CEO. Most of you are younger than me. I already did my 15 years living beachfront on the Caribbean, scuba diving daily. (A great period in my life). I would be very happy pulling $20-50K from my near worthless IVDN stock. I can buy a new RV or fishing boat for the lake I live on now.
I don't have much time left in my life. I will take that $2 a share happily and wish you all the best.
BTW, I can not reply to messages on IHUB
I wish the SEC would investigate IVDN. I believe there our CEO and the board of directors have broken multiple laws. Nothing would make me happier than Joe Riccelli spending his last day locked up in prison for his crimes..
Nobody has any confidence in our CEO. He has totally f-cked up practically everything he touches for over a decade. You couldn't screw things up any worse that our CEO has.
Even if IVDN reports $500K on the next quarterly, will you invest more money and purchase stock? I won't and nobody else is either. Even the IHUB IVDN cheerleaders that post it is time to load up aren't buying any stock. Nobody will until Joe Riccelli is GONE.
Nothing is going to happen as long as Joe Riccelli is our CEO. Stock prices are going to sit where they are or are going down. Nobody will invest in Riccelli.
Want to see $1 a share instantly? Fire our CEO
We are losing all those new distributors our CEO lined up. They can't sell Insultex because the IVDN can not fill orders today, right at the height of the home building season.
Way to go Joe. I hope you are feeling good.
Hey budfox, thanks for loading up and purchasing 100 shares. I am sure that $17 investment will propel this company to mega heights.
You are one of the REAL investors
We agree that IVDN has to follow SEC rules. You are 100% correct Profit.
I believe that the SEC should investigate IVDN for the lies of the last 18 years. I welcome an SEC investigation into free stock for services rendered to BOD's. I want an SEC investigation on why the BOD has not protected shareholders and not fired our CEO years ago. The SEC should ask why there have not been any shareholders meetings.
IVDN had a great fiscal quarter (for IVDN). $400K in sales out of a total $1.25 billion quarterly sales of insulation nationwide. 3 cheers for IVDN, we have captured .00032% of the insulation market for the quarter.
Anybody can get lucky and make sale when you throw enough sh-t at the wall. Something will stick. The next quarterly will look better than the last 36 quarterlies. I am more interested in the Sept quarterly. Since we have no product to sell it will one of the worse reports that IVDN has ever produced.
The BOD needs to do their job, protecting investors. FIRE OUR CEO.
Jedi, competitors are falling behind? Competitors are failing? Are you blind Jedi? Competitors are selling millions of dollars of product a week.
IVDN is the one that is falling behind. What is IVDN selling? Less than 400K a year. IVDN has missed the window of opportunity that is today. Insultex isn't ICC certified and won't be for another year (if IVDN can last that long)
With the new regulations on continuous insulation, it seems that DuPont, Owens Corning, Kimberly Clark are not having any problems selling product
No smart investors are purchasing IVDN stock. No new investments, just more loans. Just more dilution of our low float stock
Once upon a time Insultex was a revolutionary product. The competition has caught up and is leaving us behind.
Here is an older article https://lbmjournal.com/in-depth-insulation-and-housewrap-4/
Time to FIRE our CEO. Time to hold the BOD feet to the fire. Or we will go bankrupt with investors ready to scoop up the remains.
BTW, I have been driving through Texas this last week up the I-35. Tremendous amount of new building going on. I saw lots of wrap on buildings, not one of them used Insultex.
I got 20,000 share, I will take $2 a share. Any takers? Please cheerleaders, buy me out and shut me up
WOW, 58 billion dollar market. Out of the $58 billion, Ivdn had less than $400K. in gross sales, after over a decade in business. I guess there are a lot of other products that builders want more then Insultex. Products they can pickup tomorrow if they need. You can't easily purchase Insultex. You can't even get the price of a roll without calling Pittsburgh.
All the press releases out of Pittsburgh fail to come true. But Jedi and Profit keep puking them up. Why I don't know, unless they are getting paid to do it. If they are getting paid, they have failed to attract anyone to invest in IVDN. 17 cents a share says it all.
With up to 10 million dollars wanting to invest in IVDN sitting on the sidelines, why do shareholder support the person keeping those investors away.
The failure of this company is squarely on the shoulders of Joe Riccelli. I have been preaching for the last 3 years to fire our CEO. When are you shareholders going to wake up?
Nobody will challenge my post, because everything I have ever posted in IHUB has turned out to be true.
Tigerpac, the reason it doesn't make sense is because there isn't a publicy traded company that keeps a CEO for 18 years that constantly makes, bad money losing decisions. On top of that, he is an old man (Biden old)
Shareholders have no say in the companies operation. No shareholder meetings, no vote for board members. We need to have that meeting. We need to hold our CEO and the board of directors accountable.
It is really very simple. FIRE our CEO. Then watch up to 10 millions dollars of new investment come to IVDN.
Keep Riccelli and IVDN goes nowhere. Those are the facts
Great post? Or is it more bullsh-t?
That post is 8 months old. I believe since then IVDN sold all their inventory. IVDN is sold out. There is no R-6 insultex available. IVDN can not fulfill any orders until the boat from Asia arrives. Then they need somebody to make the wrap. IVDN has no product to sell
IVDN can sell you a 5+ year old jacket or old R-3 wrap
TOTAL MISMANAGEMENT BY OUR CEO
Tiger, here is some more info on Ketut
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=insultex+korea
GD, What's the beef here? We have an IDIOT CEO, that's the beef. More shareholders see he is incompetent. He is a colossal failure. Look at the financials. We want him gone. Is that so hard to see. That is the BEEF.
GD, why do you still support Joe? Because he is your friend? Tell us how great he has done for your investment. Tells us about his failing health. Tell us how he pushed away business (Junior Trend). After all these years your friend has promised you riches as he has taken your money.
Ketut is originator of Insultex. They manufacturer the raw material. That is where the "boat from Asia" starts out. The machine to make the raw material sits in a warehouse (I hope the rats aren't eating it like they testing machine). Our CEO didn't realize that this machine can not run on standard USA electricity, having unique power requirements. It will take some massive investment , millions of dollars, to build a factory. Our CEO can not raise the capitol to build out a factory.
So GD, You are losing all credibility since your post about the trial. Maybe you should get lost. And take the "crack" marketing team with you. Let the TRUTH come out.
Once upon a time Insultex was a revolutionary product. The competition has caught up and is leaving us behind.
Here is an older article https://lbmjournal.com/in-depth-insulation-and-housewrap-4/
REAL investors will not invest in our CEO even though he controls this revolutionary product. Even at 20 cents a share. REAL investors look at the our CEO's track record and run far away from IVDN. There has been no REAL investment in IVDN in many years.
Searay, Not much to cheer about. We are still stuck with our idiot CEO.
There is one positive in the financials;
The new quality control testing equipment for our House Wrap Product line has been built. We have reached an agreement with the vendor on the final amount owed. The total cost of the equipment was approximately $114,000. We expect to accept delivery of the equipment when our testing lab has secured a new testing facility. Once the equipment is installed it will have to go through a certification process. Once the testing equipment is certified, we intend to begin the process of having Insultex certified by ICC Evaluation Services, LLC (“ICC-ES”). ICC-ES certifies, among other items, building materials and products of which our House Wrap falls under. The reason we need to have ICC-ES certification is that we believe in order to get large orders for House Wrap, ICC-ES certification will be required. The other component part of the House Wrap produced by a third party is ICC-Es certified. Getting ICC-ES certification is costly and time consuming.
I guess Insultex is at least 1 year away from being certified by ICC-ES, if Insultex can meet the requirements. That is why they do tests.
GD, be nice. All Searay did was read the financials.
Press Releases from Pittsburgh usually are BS. I have been reading them for years and years.
The only thing that matters are the financials and stock price.
Jedi, that is not true.
IVDN purchases the raw material to make Insultex from Asia, then contract with others to produce house wrap. IVDN produces nothing (yet).
GD, I think I understand.
Our CEO puts out a press release or twitter post, the crack marketing team reposts them here. The 2 of them sing the glory of the tweets. Then the crack marketing team puke them up again and again. Then there is a new tweet, and the cycle starts again.
Reality sets in, the financials come out and the stock price falls.
Here is what I don't understand, GD. Why are you here? Is it to remain a loyal believer in your friend Joe? Is it to make money on your investment?
Most of the others posters I got pegged. I can't figure you out.
What happens if I am wrong?
We can't be any worse off than we are. $400K is not a lot of money in the billion dollar insulation market. You can't buy an average house for that.
How much house wrap did DuPont sell last quarter? MILLIONS of dollars in product.
BTW, those sales happened while our CEO was incapacitated. Joe Riccelli did not complete those sales.
If we replace our CEO, then up to $10,000,000 new investment.comes in. The company can finally grow. We can fix the testing machine that our CEO let fall into almost total disrepair and get certification., we can finish installing the equipment purchased a decade ago to actually manufacture insultex in the USA, we can actually market and advertise insultex, give our distributors POS materials to help sell insultex, promote at trade shows around the world, and PAY a high powered sales team to move truckloads of product a week.
Keep our CEO and we muddle along looking with little sales and a penny stock. That is Riccelli's performance record. It is a record of bad decision making and total mis-management
Greendolphin, one thing we can agree upon, with our CEO's EXTREMELY POOR HEALTH at age 75 (avg life expectancy for a white American male) , shareholders won't have to wait much longer before we have a new CEO. Joe should concentrate on Joe and let go of the day to day running of the company
GD, here is the bottom line. There will be over 1,000,000 residential units built in 2024. Insultex will be used in less 1% (10,000) of those units. I would guess maybe half of that. Let's not forget the commercial buildings that Insultex will not be used in their construction.
Just like 2022 and 2023. 2024 will not be much better. The current quarters sales will be terrible.
Builders will and have used other products. Why? Lots of reasons. #1, because we can not supply them with product today (still waiting on the boat from Asia). Because Insultex is not ICC certified. Because Insultex is too costly. Because our company is/has been totally mismanaged the last 3 years. Because potential buyers don't like to work with our CEO.
If Lindus wanted to purchase insultex for 5000 homes delivered in 30 days, our CEO is not able to supply it.
The construction industry does not need Insultex. There are plenty of other insulation products on the market that will be used in those 1,000,000 new homes.
Our CEO has got to go. Our 4 Directors need to go to JAIL for taking free stock and failing to protect investors.
With a new BOD and new CEO, IVDN will see million of dollars of new investment immediately. Then we can become a real company, not the joke we are.
Fire Joe (or he meets his maker) and we are $1 a share. GD, don't you want your investment to go up 5 times instantly?
GD, you have been a shareholder for 15+ years. How is your investment doing? It is a loser for you. How much money are you down? Why do you support our IDIOT, INCOMPETENT, CEO?
GD, we have a great product and poor management. Get off the Riccelli bandwagon. Only then will the company grow.
Searay, there are plenty of other products on the market today that will do what insultex will do. Tyvek has Thermawrap.
They might not be as thin but that is not important to builders. Builders start with plans and build to the plans.
Here is the only issue. Our CEO has proven to be a terrible manager. He has made BAD decisions over the years, decisions that should have gotten him fired. 15+ years later, he has become a feeble, old man in poor health. The only reason he is our CEO is his ego keeps him in the seat.
There are MILLIONS of dollars on the sidelines waiting to invest in IVDN. Their problem is Joe Riccelli. They will not give him control of their money. He has to step away. Problem is that he won't. The BOD won't replace him. He will die in the CEO chair.
And now, a commercial from the IVDN marketing dept. (Profit, Jedi)
WOW, somebody threw $2600 on the roulette table. A real investor. Now IVDN can pay the rent and electric bill.
Today is IVDN time. IVDN is totally unprepared to meet demand. The company has no money to purchase product, invest in equipment to produce product, is not ICC certified and is still managed by the same idiot. Or should I say totally MISMANAGED by our resident idiot CEO.
Meanwhile while we wait for the boat from Asia...........
Dow Corning, Kimberly Clark, and DuPont are spending millions of R&D dollars coming up with their new continuous insulation. With their labs, their scientists, they will come up with something NEW soon. That will make Insultex irrelevant.
I have been wrong for the last couple of years. Sales does not increase stock value. We have sales but the stock price remains very crappy. What does that tell all of you?
Nobody is going to invest in IVDN until our idiot CEO is gone.
He has mismanaged this company for over a decade. Go ahead and call Joe. Try to purchase a truck load, a pallet, a roll for immediate delivery. See what happens.
The only reason our OLD, FEEBLE, IN POOR HEALTH Riccelli is still the CEO is EGO. He won't be around this world much longer to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
If you want to see some 7$$$$ figure investment, fire Joe. Nobody is handing him the kind of money this company needs. He would mismanage it away.
If you want to see $1 a share tomorrow, fire Joe.
GD, you are losing money on every purchase you make. But at least you help pay the electric bill. Thanks

I thought all IVDN troubles would vanish after the trial. Since the trial, our CEO has consistently lost money. Why do you support our ailing, fragile CEO? With a track record like Joe's, any real company would have fired him and the BOD long ago.
Nothing is going to change until IVDN changes it's CEO. Has our CEO made any correct decisions? He killed Arctic Armor, he killed Junior Trend, he won't fix the machine that we need to prove Insultex meets ICC standards. Without an ICC cert IVDN won't be able to sell any real volume of product.
He is a failure, an idiot, egomaniac, and has proven to have no business sense at all. Everyone supporting our CEO the last 3 years has lost money. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU LOST MONEY!!!!!!!
How long can the company hang on while continuously losing money? Nobody will give our CEO any more loans or purchase worthless stock. OTC will de-list IVDN soon. We are closer to BK than ever.
I have been posting about Joe Riccelli's removal for 3 years. Look at the financials. Guess I have been RIGHT and all you Joe supporters have been WRONG. He can't sell product.
The day Joe steps asides, gets fired, or finally meets his maker (sooner than you think), investment will flow into the company and IVDN stock will instantly hit $1.00 a share.
Hey Jedi, when did Insultex ever have ICC certification? I don't think ever. Looks like our CEO is using a Photoshop photo in his tweets. FRAUD????????
Pitcook, do you still believe that our CEO, Joe Ricelli, is the right man to lead us forward? Do you still support him?
Searay, nothing is going to happen with this company until our CEO is GONE. Investors are on the sidelines waiting for his departure.
This young company has been around for over 15 years. Garlotta brings nothing to the table. He has done NOTHING to receive 40,000 shares of FREE stock.
He deserves prison for his failure to protect shareholders.
Lucky to have Garlotta??? What has he brought to IVDN?
No a damn thing. Not one new product, no new applications, NO SALES.
But he takes FREE stock for what services?
Garlotta is supposed to look out for the shareholders. He is there to protect our interests. It appears he is just lining his pockets.
Hey Waterchaser.
I think I figured out who the paid Cheerleaders are. Who is paying them? IVDN? With cash? With STOCK?
Whatever it is, they sure haven't earned their compensation or done their jobs. After years and years of spewing out their LIES, this stock is STILL in the sh-tter.
I might be wrong Pitcook. Right above Garlotta signature is a box with "explanation of responses" It states:
1. The reporting person was granted these securities for his services
Where did those 40,000 shares come from? CEO? Or thin air? Why pay 20 cents when the market is a 15 cents?
The Board of Directors of any corporation has the fiduciary obligation to protect the shareholders. That is their NUMBER CHARGE. They have failed. We, the shareholders (owners of the company), have not been given the opportunity to have any say on anything.
I am not a lawyer but I believe that is CRIMINAL. I am so pissed off I don't only want our CEO fired, I want to see him in prison sharing a cell with his BOD buddies and a big man named Bubba..
