Lol, maybe they'll make a digitized, wrist version of it! Seems to be all the rage these days.
Ah, here bright and early as usual. Hard to stay away from this excitement, isn't it? Still waiting on that analysis you promised. Oh yeah, you don't actually provide any info whatsoever. "financial bad, stock bad, me smart", am I doing it right?
It wont take long to finish the site, the question is how will people outside of brav hear about it? This might be a good time to go full scale on adwords IMO. Interestingly, danny listed it among the level 1 sites in his filing.
Well that much is clear lol! But why?
It's pretty much there. It touched .001 on a 10,000 trade right at market open. before that, it was .0012 or .0013 I think. I just remember getting .0014s and felt I got about as good as you could get. Ended up in the pennies after that, so no complaints here;)
Thanks! Definitely didn't feel like digging it up. He's not getting paid and is still being mentioned, seems like he must be active in some sense. Maybe Sid is giving tips, maybe danny is finally figuring it out (he's certainly had enough time) or maybe he is just mad at the shareholders like you think. It doesn't really matter to me, just keep it up! If and when news does finally drop, we'll see what he's been up to, if anything.
Well then I guess I'll have to admit that he is doing something right all on his own. Little danny finally growing up or just pouting? I'm sure we can guess each poster's opinion on this, no need for a vote ;)
Well, he isn't being paid, so I'm guessing this isn't his only gig. Some advice from someone with experience in running a company though is most welcome. This can be done via phone or computer, it's not like we need him in the store giving pointers on how to organize leggings. Who knows, maybe he's setting up that Canada store we heard about ;)
You could be right of course, still I prefer the silence whether it is based on a conscious shift in business or just more of danny's long time childishness. Talking with nothing to say would just be the same old danny, and I'd rather not see him again. I'd rather guess at the change than have the opposite confirmed.
So where do you feel the changes are coming from? I'm not giving danny credit and I've got a sneaking suspicion you aren't either ;).
Totally agree. Does danny have a plan? I doubt it, but Sid just might. Seems to be making good changes so far, if that is what is actually happening, of course. All just my view on it. Things are changing and I refuse to give danny credit for it. Maybe the greatest thing danny has done is to admit he couldn't do it alone. Just my opinion, of course.
I don't believe I ever said he did. What he DOES care about is his company/ego, and I believe that self indulgent tenacity will pay off in the long run. Or should I say the Looooooong run.
danny is a dunce, I'll be the first to say it, but that was years ago and to be quite honest, a quick look at the board will show that he wasn't that wrong. As a CEO, however, he was dead wrong to put that into print. Dumb move in a pile of dumb moves he's made over the years. But yu have to admit that lately something is different. No hype, no fluff, no appearances by Mr. Bane. As someone who dislikes danny's ego and attitude, I consider this to be a good thing. I agree with you on both points. Nobody believes him and he's got nothing to say. Best move is to keep his trap shut IMO until he does have something worth saying. Patience is a virtue with brav, you know that as well as anyone. Profitability, growth, whatever you want to focus on is up to you. Sometimes growth requires reduction. Could you imagine if he kept the Robertson store open? We'd be dead IMO. Cutting overhead to increase the bottom line isn't some new radical buzz idea, this is just normal business. Instead of spending that money on rent, it could go towards adwords or other revenue drivers. It isn't our choice, but we are all welcome to an opinion.
I'm still interested in your opinion on Sid Dutchak. You feel danny should bring in someone who can run the company better, and it appears he's done just that. You can see the difference in danny's actions (or lack thereof). This sounds like exactly what you are asking for, don't you agree?
You gotta do the dd! If Q1 is good, maybe I'll get a track of danny singing for you!
Hopefully we won't see any forward looking statements. Stick to what is happening right now. Talk about things that have been cleaned up on the books. Talk about increased revenue and decreased expenditures. Talk about individual numbers for each website and how those compare to last quarter. Talk about what's working and what isn't. If I were in a meeting with danny, this is what I'd want to know.
It's not just as simple as saying more sales is better. Who cares if sales doubled, but ad costs tripled? Making more while spending less isn't some new formula to show brav in a better light, that's just normal business. A million in sales would be great, but not if you have to spend 800k to get it. I'd rather have 400k in sales with 100k in ad spending. Picking 1 number to look at doesn't make any sense, it's all about the bottom line. No spending money on worthless commercials and b-list celebs.
I definitely don't think q1 will be better than q4, but if the bottom line is better than q1 2014, then I'll be happy. There will be no measure of success concerning brav until they are actually profitable, and that will likely take years IMO. In the meantime, I just want to see that it continues to move in the right direction. Slowly, of course, but none of us is in any hurry are we?
I'm not expecting a kick butt Q, but I do feel it will be an improvement and that's all I'm looking for at this point. I'm kind of surprised you didn't pick up any shares in that .0013 - .0014 range. If the financials are even ok, I'd expect we won't see those prices again. Of course if danny pulls a "hey guys, just got a new cpa and need a couple months to figure it out", I think we could see trips. danny himself is the only one who can screw this up IMO, let's just hope he keeps quiet until something is worth saying. Good luck to YU
Would you mind me asking if you're currently holding shares? Either way, what are you hoping to see on the financials?
lol! If he prs and it isn't anything worthy, it would hurt us. SO glad he didn't release that compliance update. Don't talk if there isn't anything worth saying. Numbers are days away, that's the news.
Not in sales, but with much lower advertising expense. I just want to see an increase in the difference of the two.
Seems the bane has taken a break. I think that's a good thing. Stop insulting shareholders and stick to improving the company. When you aren't saying anything, it doesn't matter if people believe you or not. Anything that needs to be said can be done with numbers IMO. Improvement is what I'm looking for, we'll just have to wait and see.
Totally agree! What's the point of forcing news? It always turned out bad because it was usually fluff and there wasn't any follow through. I much prefer the silence. Run the business and let us know when something actually happens, not when it might happen. The numbers are what matters, not danny's forward looking dreams. Things have been getting better, and I hope the numbers show that the trend is continuing. I don't mind slow (how long have we been here?), as long as it keeps moving in the right direction.
Sweet, so I'm still the king of the low buys! I think someone got .0012s and I'm not counting that.001 paint.
Not in the long time I've been here. Just figured it was older than those 5 years! I've considered my buys to be as good as they get, but who knows, maybe someone did better.
Trips?!? Nice! best I ever got was .0014s. Well, until I scooped up those .0013s the other day. Small buy, but looks great on the greens!
Maybe he's just got good timing! Seriously though, I don't think we're going to see news soon. danny seems to have taken our advice and is not pushing fluff. Big news may be on the horizon, but we won't know till it drops. That will be an exciting day! Good job, danny. Keep doing what you're doing and keep your goofy face out of it!
Buy some, sell some, hold some. Cover your bases & hedge your bets!
Sales were down, this is true, but the $ spend on advertising was down more. It works out to an increase.
Do you want him to come out and talk about forward looking statements? If nothing is complete, there is nothing to say. I would think you of all people would be happy about danny's new found silence. Don't worry, when there is something to say, I'm sure danny will shout it from the mountain tops. BTW, I am of the opinion that the muscleflex revamp may be a return to the private label plan. Just my opinion, we will have to wait and see.
Because every stock is the same, right? No news, no new rumors or speculation. Volume trends are set by buyers, so you can't say the buyers came because of the trend. A pump can come without these things, such as we witnessed a couple of weeks ago, but that was easy to spot with an influx of new names shouting about things that weren't happening. Much of today's volume came from old hands at brav. Try to remember how long this company has been around and consider that quite a few of us have been making money here for years. It's hard to take anyone seriously when they have no clue about what's really going on.
I dunno, Bruce Jenner?
Is Bruce Jenner affiliated with brav or are you talking about the Kardashian failure from 2010?
Oh yeah, simple stuff for sure. REALLY glad he didn't release THAT as a pr!
It was just a google compliance thing, not news. Wasn't released on hub. Save real releases for good stuff IMO and save a little money, every bit helps.
I agree with most of what you're saying. danny's cred has been in the toilet a long time. I had credit problems in the past, but after doing the right thing for awhile, my credit has improved. danny is improving IMO. Didn't even release that pr to ihub. It wasn't worth it. If I were trying to cut overhead, I wouldn't pay to publish it either. Waste of money. four years ago, there would have been prs letting us know this pr was coming! danny is actually doing all the things I felt he should do. Shutting up, not self pumping with hype prs, filing on time (at present)and staying current. Revenues are increasing slowly. We've been here how long? I don't mind waiting another season. Unless of course something big drops. I like the silence, may be the calm before a storm. Or not, I'm a trader not a meteorologist.
I personlly felt the numbers weren't bad. Revenues were down, but advertising was down even more. If you look at the revs vs ads, it is still improving. Not making a profit, of course, but heading in the right direction. You can't buy a profitable company at .0014, what you get is a company that has potential. I'm seeing things I like in brav and things I don't like. It really is a personal gamble for all of us, but for me it's a hand worth holding for the big play. GL
People were begging for news, and this is what we got. Nobody liked the forward looking statements and fluff. They are gone, and now people are mad at that. You can't win. The company doesn't just close down when the stock price drops. It is business as usual and all we can do is hope it continues to improve. We've been here a loooong time and seen these prices before. I think it will be fine, patience is a virtue. The numbers will give us a clearer idea of what is really going on in BRAV land.
