Much bigger milestones coming up next week. National TV ads!
VivaVuva!
Only when they're almost out of stock does it sell at under 20 per day.
We have reason to believe it's higher than that when there's more in stock at Amazon, with Amazon pushing it a little more.
Also, those patent rights ARE exclusive.
...and at 3:38pm eastern time, we hit 40,000 likes!
The last PR about it talked about vivavuva.com being the official site and vivavuva.net being the development site, and didn't mention .org, so I'd interpret the model's statement as saying that .org would soon be introduced as another cool development site.
No, I think Fill got it wrong.
.org is another development site, just like .net. Why would they put a for-profit site under a non-profit domain?
.com is the actual official site, where sales are made.
Of course, these are deferred revenues you're talking about. Still, at 13 mill for 2 quarters, that projects to over 3 and a half cents per share in revenue over 4 quarters.
Even if you just look at non-deferred, last reported quarter's $153k in real sales projects to .00087 per share over 4 quarters, and with this past (still unreported) quarter up about 400% from that, we should be up to at least .0040 per share in annualized non-deferred sales.
So, in my opinion, this is a very safe level at which to buy.
Great! Now that we know the definition of a scam, we can be more sure that MDIN is NOT one.
Should reach 40k likes by close of markets today!
If anyone orders from VivaVuva.com in the next couple of days, please make a note of the order number.
It'll be good to have a baseline number just before the launch, which could come as early as Friday.
While reach has been impressive for OL and WOL recently, the pageviews are still lagging far behind last year. However, in recent days, you can see how they've started to really surge and catch up.
Still a long way to go, but I like the direction the pageviews are heading.
You have to look at where the bid and the ask went, cyber, not where the last price was, especially on a large spread like this. I'm guessing everyone knows that already.
Well, then, it's great that we're well above zero volume.
Update on weekly Alexa traffic data for October, through the 27th (data for 28th not available yet).
The numbers below are for:
world rank (in thousands),
reach % (in 100,000ths of a %), and
pageview % (in millionths of a %).
The lower the rank number, the better, the higher the reach and pageviews, the better.
You'll see that the 3rd week slowed down, but the 4th week (so far, 6 days) has seen a new surge which has brought the 4th week close to the highest levels for "reach" from last winter. What you won't see is numbers for VivaVuva.NET, but rest assured it has far surpassed its sleepy .COM namesake this month.

Actually, DOLLAR volume has been down quite significantly in recent months.
He can still sing, though.
Random thoughts:
Red Sox have now been in 12 WS and have won at least 3 games in all 12.
Red Sox have not won a WS with the deciding game in Boston since 1918.
I fear that if fans are injured in a post-victory riot/celebration, that people might not help out, mistaking their injuries for Halloween costumes.
Incorrect.
The patent deal was announced in a detailed PR, not a tweet.
Celprogen did not deny that they sold the patent rights to MDIN.
If that's not enough, then what level of "proof" are you looking for?
Yes, I got it, and I said the same thing in my message, too.
I also said that it has been his problem for at least 2 years, and that he has gotten much better in that time. So, I'm not worried or bothered by it anymore because I know he's getting better at it, and that it's not a sign of deception, just impatience.
So yes, it's a problem, but I wouldn't stress out too much about it.
So, that means it should be early Wednesday afternoon when it reaches 40,000 likes!
I wish they would leverage this with a weekly post about their legging of the week or something similar. Once a month is too little. 2 or 3 posts per month is probably ideal, being too few to be annoying, while being just enough to keep people thinking about you.
I don't think his intention is to manipulate.
I think, for example, he really plans to move to another exchange, and is too impatient to wait a few months until it's a sure thing before telling folks.
This has been his problem all along, talking about things too soon. Keep in mind, though, that he has been getting better at this over the last 2 years.
No, what was untrue and false was the statement that Snorenz was ranked 70th among snoring products, when it was actually ranked 70th among the much larger sleep products category, with well over two thousand products.
Firstly, I was not comparing them, or getting enthusiastic.
Nobody here is saying this is going to be like Apple.
You're misunderstanding the original point, which was merely drawing an analogy to a situation which was similar, and well-known, and for which we know the result.
It's the SITUATION which is similar, not the companies or people.
The point was that CEOs are often criticized if they change course too quickly and frequently, and that sometimes it's the CEO who is correct, and their critics or even their boards who are wrong, in the case where the CEO is responding properly to a changing market, and doing so before the competition.
You can take it as a sign of an uncertain CEO, or as a sign of a highly aware CEO who has the guts to quickly cancel previous plans when something better is found.
Yes, I agree that Danny needs to talk about his plans less, and only inform people when they're more certain. But I also think that his past decisions to abandon mediocre or poor plans in favor of better ones has worked out very well for him so far.
OK, you got me there! It was a bit of a run-on sentence.
I read the same statement from Logandean, and it's clear he was NOT comparing DA to Steve Jobs. Read it again.
He was comparing DA's critics to Apple's board.
Oh, and YU, technically speaking, Jobs and DA were not mentioned in the same sentence.
The following statement is completely untrue and FALSE!
they have fallen to the 70th best selling snoring product
Wrong. It was only the sleep apnea claim that they got in trouble for.
This was something like a decade ago, too.
That is not true. The FTC never said it didn't reduce the volume of snoring.
It's important to get facts straight.
Tired old discredited arguments being re-hashed again and again.
What's the CURRENT state of things? I'd say a lot better than what it was 1 to 2 years ago, which is where all these old arguments are coming from.
I really like the marketing description they wrote:
"Forget bulky pills! This vitamin and natural oil enriched formula works instantly to soothe, coat and lubricate, eliminating vibrations in the throat that cause snoring. Mint flavor also freshens your breath! All natural, sugar free and made in the USA. 2 fl. oz."
Very succinct and to-the-point, and hits all the highlights.
Notice how orders 2, 3, 4 and 5 add up exactly to order #6:
2,798,878 shares.
That too "unround" of a number to be a coincidence. And that order #6 was at .0006 while the bid was at .0009. Below the bid by a huge amount. More self-selling between accounts. It's so blatant.
Someone trying to give the impression of the price walking down, from .0009 to .0008 to .0007 to .0006. They made sure to hit every price point to make it look more like a real selloff.
I've noticed that they tend to do this stuff in the first half hour of the day. All these orders going off in a short time frame, like it's one session of trading.
Actual volume today has been almost entirely buys.
Not proof of anything.
Last quarterly report's non-deferred revenues came to .0002 per share, and projected to 4 quarters comes to .0008 per share. If people believe those revs will stay flat, then they believe the current price is about right, at a P/S of 1.0.
If people believe that those revs will grow, and also believe that share structure will grow proportionally to revs, then they'll believe the current price is about right, at a P/S of 1.0.
If people believe the PR that revs really grew 4-fold or more in this past quarter, then they believe the revs are at .0009 or so for the quarter, projecting to .0036 for the year, and deserving of a P/S of 2 to 5 with all the growth, which would drive prices over a penny.
Since many folks doubt PRs and want to see audited financials before jumping in, they'll assume one of the first 2 cases until proven otherwise, meaning many will estimate a proper valuation right where it is now.
The cool thing is, how quickly this could go over a penny if more definitive proof of revenues comes out.
New low, but below the bid again.
4,500,000 @ .0007, when bid was .0008
AND less than one minute after 2 trades of
3,362,500 and 1,127,500 at the 2nd lowest price of the day .0008, whose sizes total,
you guessed it...
4,500,000
Another case of back-and-forth self-selling, perhaps?
But you're right in that he typically announces the date of results right around the end of the quarter, with the results date being about a month later.
So, it is breaking the pattern that he hasn't announced a date for results yet.
I don't think a PR stating the date of results is in the category of "PR just for PR". It's a fairly routine and expected thing for any company, and if that's all that's in the PR it's not saying anything about the well-being of the company.
NOT announcing the date of results, and then suddenly coming out with results, would be more of a problem.
Contact SEC with what evidence? There's only been hypotheticals and theories given, no solid evidence of wrongdoing. It doesn't mean there isn't wrongdoing, there's just no good evidence of it. It's all circumstantial, requiring some big assumptions before any wrongdoing can be proven.
Without solid evidence, you'll be laughed right out of there.
Not sure why you're worried about a delay in financials. They've been on time with financials for several quarters in a row.
What makes you think there might be a delay?
No, the rate of new likes seems to vary in a pretty normal way. I don't see an overly steady pattern.
I think your prediction will be quite low, as it has often been in the past.
My estimate has Q3 revenues in the ballpark of $785k to $790k.
Yes, and the question is, is this a sign of someone desperate to sell shares, or a sign of someone trying to make it look like someone's desperate to sell shares?
Why would someone put such large AON orders up below the bid? Wouldn't they try to get as much as they can at the bid first?
If they're worried about driving the price down too much with their sells, then how would selling this way help? It still looks bad on the charts, either way.
Large AON orders are very unlikely to get filled, so they're a good way for someone to sell to themselves in a different account, making sure that nobody else grabs their shares. Just make it larger than all other bids out there. For the price of a commission, they keep all their shares, and make it look like there's a lot of dumping going on at low prices. Then when people panic, they scoop up cheapies.
In the last 4 trading days, we've seen large orders EVERY DAY going at prices below the bid.
Folks, this has happened before, where some quote services are adding 2 zeroes to all the volume and bid/ask sizes. It's a mistake which showed up about 6 months ago on a bunch of quote sites.
So, no wrongdoing by anybody, just people not figuring out that the numbers they're seeing are wrong.
Over the last 3 trading days, almost all of the sell volume has been below the bid, in other words, fake "sell to self" transactions. There's been very little real selling volume.
The number of buys has far outnumbered the sells.
