IF any of the innuendo, hints and suggestions come true THIS spring..I say congratulations to those whom I have come to care about that have held this for years waiting for the company to make good on their promises and dreams they have so eloquently painted.
One word of caution though...as it has been proven already..getting it on the shelf does not make it sell so if there is a run of any sort simply off of the news...grab some profits if/when possible. Don't make the same mistake again.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH, HAPPY HOLIDAYS OR WHATEVER SUITS YOU!
Once again...it doesn't matter IF they get in every single store and in every single store they are on the most public end cap... but sales numbers have proven it doesn't sell in all of the many, many stores they claim to be in. Until advertising comes full force...none of this bologna matters.
Part of the plan. Waiting on the dreaded but expected news.
The blog machine has had a tune up and seems to be running at full speed. Its coming...are you ready?
Glta
Ah the memories of days gone by! Your points are all very true and valid as always but you forgot to also mention all of the memos and blogs about if you were still a shareholder, you had VISION and were the smart ones (paraphrasing)! The company loves to whine and dine shareholders with pats on the back about hangin' in there and having the VISION to see it through. There was/is a true "good 'ole boys" mentality that kept many suckered in without question.
Then there are the blogs and memos from the company condemning those who post negatively and how they didn't have vision. LOL! It would appear their vision is just fine.
GLTA
Well said sir. All of the placating and stroking for those shareholders who believed in the sugar coating and syrup dripping off of the bs blogged, said in conf. calls and continued promotion on this board by those who have done/continue to do work for the company has resulted in absolutely NOTHING.
It would appear they are beginning 2013 off just like they have done every year since inception...painting beautiful pics of "what if" scenarios that will most likely (if history truly does repeat itself) in a whole group of disgruntled stuckholders scratching their heads wondering why they continued to believe while the numbers continue to show them just how inept the management of this company really is.
If the company wants to help the PPS.... announce the CEO is stepping down due to inability to produce. That may be the only thing that helps this mess.
Want to do some REAL DD? Listen to the conf. calls, read the blogs and then add up what REALLY CAME TO FRUITION. It's very clear, if you look at it with your eyes wide open.
Have a great weekend!
It's all about the "end cap"! I am sure there was a song at some point..."if we can get there, we can go anywhere". It would appear that is a "make or break" signal for this company.
Great idea! After all...shouldn't it be public knowledge to shareholders?
At least I got a great laugh from it this am.
Oh good grief! Are they are doing the whole gas station/convenience store routine again? Well it was so successful last time, I can see why it would be this time! lmao!
I guess selling one bottle for $4.99(?) every few days or weeks should get them closer to that one million mark....some day.
Ignorance.
Ooooh...nice catch! Missed that.
Yes...must be publicly displayed. The previous posts did not indicate they would be. I do not believe the Eric would not answer questions by anyone..that has been one of his favorite distinctions between himself and other pink CEOs.
I have not read anything to indicate he will only answer questions from shareholders unless his stance has changed recently.
GLTA
Yet another example of the ignorance presented by the company if what this poster says is true. Given what was said would be illegal..I doubt that is the stance by the company.
I don't think the company was involved
This kind of crap happens all the time in penny land
No they wouldn't. They don't have time. They will sell whatever is most well known and they make the most profit off of. Quick sell and on to the next customer.
The company has always spent time and resources to educate/train employees of stores and asks/expects them to do their advertising. Where's that "dime"? Lol
Have a great holiday auto!
Management continues to rely on store employees to "advertise" their product for them. They think employees of stores have the time and inclination to learn the 1000+ ways it works. With turn over rate of employees in the retail industry and thousands of other products they are called on to pimp....no wonder their "marketing' plan has failed.
These days...employees only care about keeping their jobs...not pushing a product no one has heard of.
I agree, the product is great. I don't understand the disconnect but clearly the public just isn't attracted to it. If it was shoved down their throats via advertising etc..like every other successful company does...they would certainly not be a trip zero stock. There is no money to do such a thing. Cart-before-the-horse syndrome imo.
How many more years will they keep doing the same thing over and over before they realize their "my way or the highway" attitude is what lead them to where they are? There must be other "honorable" ways to run a successful company. Happens all the time.
Kudos to the "longs" who have watched their dreams fall apart here, for holding on. I continue to hold out an inkling of hope they are rewarded one day.
Have a great Thanksgiving.
:)
They are (were?) in one "test" Lowe's store in Ohio for about 3 years now. Are they still there "testing"?
Except sucker newbies in to buying and they will be scratching their collective heads trying to figure out why it doesn't "go to the moon" when the group dumps on them.
They have been 'testing' in home depot for how many years now? lol
I don't know! I am sure there are others who have numbers readily available but it could be incredible!!
Can't wait till the PR for this NA come out in the spring of 2013 or summer of 2013 or fall of 2013... or then again...maybe never. The ride can be fun as the masses flock here and buy based on this tried and true carrot. Then when it doesn't happen (again)...oh how angry a new group of "stuckholders" will be.
If it does happen...then that will be a 5 year promise/pledge/maybe/could be/we tried but they won't let us/ blah, blah, blah that finally comes to fruition and for the longs that have held on for the last 3+ years waiting for the company to make good on all they have said they are doing/have done and will do. Unfortunately, not sure they will take the chance to get out. Let us pray...the Spring of 2013 will be different THAN ALL THE OTHER TIMES THEY SAID THE SAME THING.
SELL ON THE WAY UP PEOPLE!! Don't be a penny playin' fool and hold for the "what if".
Happy Thursday and GLTA!
There is a group trying to get things moving to cash in and be gone again. I think that is a good thing for this stock. Go Penny...go penny!!!
Have an awesome day!!!
I equate that to telling your bank..."Well, one day I may have an awesome job and make a million dollars a year so can you go ahead and give me a line of credit based on what may happen? I promise I will try hard to find a job that will pay me that well!"
Absolutely nothing concrete. Absolutely ridiculous the CEO keeps doing this over and over. This is a perfect example of the ignorance I have spoken of before. How many times have they done this in the last 5 years? Too many to count.
The quarterly looks about like I would expect. Not horrific but no fireworks either. So wish the CEO would have left out the hint, clue, suggestion, whatever you want to call it...about the NA. Too many years of such things. A lesson never learned.
Only when it's done and product is in stores is it a done deal. Only then should there be pr's, parades, fireworks and so on! Good grief...how many times are they going to fly this NA flag just to have something go wrong on the other company's end and WNBD will start the "it wasn't/isn't our fault" blogs to explain things.
Clearly I have no idea if this supposed Spring 2013 will happen or not but...EVERYONE can admit such events have been dangled quite a few times in the last 4 years ...only to have it never happen.
GLTA
Awesome!! Just the "break" everyone has been waiting for!
Oh....you've got that right! They have been holding for years now.
Classic move. Smart players. Treating it like the penny...well sub penny stock it is and deservedly so.
What an awesome day! I see 4's by about 2pm today! Get on board or get left behind!
You are most welcome! Happy it was you!
It would appear it has NOTHING to do with WNBD. Suckers buying and smart ones trying to get out. LOL
Ignorant/Ignorance... making unwise decisions. Pretty simple to understand. Watching this company make the same mistakes over and over...I believe to be ignorant. It's really very simple. I am not a shareholder so your other point is valid.
But ignorant?...How does that apply to OUR CEO Mr.Eric Lehner?
Who knows what's going on there but I believe what you are saying. It's not the first time Walmart has done this in hopes of selling it.
I would bet they will sell far more of the Goof Off... people have actually heard of it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIB!!! Hope you have an awesome day!
The facts have been pointed out time and time again. The proof is in the charts, filings and the history of the company. It's all out there for them to see. There may be enough out there who choose not to see reality and have money to throw away. I would guess that is what the company is betting on.
I didn't read/receive one as anything coming from that email address does directly to trash. A fitting place IMO.
I have, however, gotten messages from others who have received the latest desperate act to try to get current shareholders to buy more. The statement that "2013" will be the year almost made me throw up my lunch. The CEO has said this for 4/5 years now and history shows EVERYONE that either they lied intentionally....or they made those statements in the past based on nothing combined with the glaring ignorance some seem to have grown fond of. I do NOT believe they lied...I believe they are just that ignorant and incompetent.
The chart shows the company is incompetent, the filings show the company is unable to keep all of the predictions, promises and "hints". Those have all been discussed here...over and over so no need to go through them again.
Garbage....as usual.
