Yes you are right. My bad
Just checked on Fuse Science (DROP) and it has a shared structure 10% less than that of our MP but trading at 30 cents instead of at a penny - I thought that MP share structure was much worse when compare it with its competitors doesn't seem that bad
So if it is not the OS the problem, clearly is the "other expenses" - IMO
I really hope 2Q'#s shows a quantum improvement in the expense side
according to someone in the finance yahoo message boards it seems that the issue with IC has been solved ...
http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_M/threadview?m=te&bn=109168&tid=19230&mid=19230&tof=1&frt=1#19230
"Spoke with the folks at IC today and here's what they said about the update on certification on MP products.
MusclePharm is testing all their products with us and they were up on the site until a couple months ago. They had an issue with their manufacturer not sending in samples for testing so we had quite a few untested batches in the market carrying the I-C logo.
Because of this we had to temporarily suspend them from the program while we completed our testing. The Assault and Combat product will be back up this week and has all tested OK. The other should be up shortly after."
price keeps crawdling right and as long as it keeps on top of the support 0,015 and above the 200 days average we should be ok ... we need to have patience ... and avoid the lions eating our nerves ...
... just in case .. here goes the link to the chart ...

Not matter how much we drag about it here ... the cloud is telling that we will have to continue being with a high dosis of patience ... for the next month or so this baby will continue with a resistence between .016 and .021/2 .... unless a market maker intervins ... we are going to have to wait ...
Tried to embbed chart ...
.. Contract worth many many millions for MP and positive implications for PS - would that make a difference?
And if they were but instead with friends, would be with a few customers with whom are about to sign a contract
And if then
Does anybody know if MP completed the repurchase of 100 million shares CS announced on April?
If they have not, perhaps this may be one explanation why PS does no go up
We are all very frustrated because of the actual pps level as well as the lack of Information from management (at least to us retail shareholders)
I guess that most pennystocks publish PRs that are smoke or may have some impact in some uncertain future. Unlike most pennystocks, MP has a tangible business with an strong top line
Perhaps one of the reasons why we have not received any PR yet is because management will like to focus on create actions such as new financials, launching of new products, a new partnership, material events and so forth
And what about the NFS/IC issue? What about the 9000 stores? Perhaps material deals have not been signed yet or the first is not also a material issue from a financial perspective
My guess is management is waiting for the quarter closing focusing on the numbers for their next PR otherwise something may be very wrong ... such a silence should Be compensated either with extremely bad news or extremely good news
We are all pretty much frustrated for the actual pps and because we are not
I guess that by now they already know how the picture looks for MP's 2Q ... And perhaps they will be breaking all forecasts ... And are celebrating accordingly?
Great! I look you up when I will go to visit my host family - saludos!!
It seems according to Reuters that the last insider trading was in April 26 .... and have not bought anything since then ...
http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/insiderTrading?symbol=MSLP.OB
does anybody have a different perspective on Insider Trading?
Brazil is not only the place for the next world cup bur also the next olympics ..... And Unlike many other southamerican countries, brazil is really into healthy and inshape bodies + big MMA space
MP should break into this market the possibilities are Hughe!!!
Blue - by any chance do you teach At Burnsville Sr high? I attended there back in 1982 - cheers from Chile!
but if the rumor is somewhat true ... the PS should be moving fast in the other direction, shouldn´t it?
If the rumor of a potential absorption from UA is somewhat true we should see MP's PS going to the roof pretty quickly ... This is what happens with all absorptions .... In that case it will be wise to buy as much as we can at the actual support .015
So if they would not expect to sell many ... The 250k upfront Maybe was not such bad a deal after-all - specially when we do not know what was the structure of the previous deal
@ 10$ per unit - they got am upfront sale of 25,000 units - all at once ... How many people do u think would by an MP shirt around the globe???
Maybe ... Let's see what the future will bring - in a couple of months we will see where MP is headed
Cheers from the South Cone!!!

Dakota - just checked on the net: typical apparel retailer margin 4-13%
http://www.forbes.com/2007/01/09/retailer-financial-metrics-ent_cx_mc_0109fundamentalsmetrics.html
The 20 I m referring to is the previous -10 + new 10 in case it wasnt clear
4. They need to restructure their other expenses as well as manage their OS base.
5. Let's suppose that the previous deal was producing minus 10% because of the way that was structured. Now, assume that the new deal is for a limited period of time until they turn green on the bottom line.
Now not only the 10% net of the new deal y really a 20% impact directly on the vein.
Furthermore, I'm not sure what is the profit margin for a clothing retailer. That should not be too difficult to find out on the web.
Before we make any judgment on this new deal it is key to have all the facts on the table because may be this 10% net is not too bad after all.
Please, allow me tp give you a different perspective
1. IMO - this is a marathon and not a 100 m sprint & MP is transforming its brand in a global brand very quickly, which to me is a enormous achievement. Obviously me and my kids are long on MP
2. To reach 2most popular also is a great achievement. If I would be in mgt shoes I wouldn't rush to make it to #1. It will be a great learning experience to be number two for some time
3. MP is doing great in the top line and managing operating expenses relatively well - IMO
4. MP needs to restructure it's "Other expenses" line ch
3. Now, let's suppose that the previous deal was structure in a way
Só what you are saying That MP Will get 10% (AND i am assuming That This 10%net is only from the MP's appearel MP sales) from something they brand only?
At any rate, does anybody know which wad the previous agreement with TapOut? Is the latter better/worse than this new one? I so why/how?
because if it is 10%Net of the appareal business should not be such a deal because it would be iike a sales incentive on the manufacturer to produce even better products to the market ... in such a case, it should not be a big deal ... IMO
quick question; the 10%Net shouldn´t be only for the appereal business?
MP not yet in Chile, but I guess it will be pretty soon. lol
I am long on another PS, the CEO promised a reduction on OS from 2,9b to 0,6mm ... He did and The price has been going up crazy ... Perhaps MP' management has to get serious about it.
I read it somewhere that they have a shares structure well beyond industry benchmarks
Nike (NKE) was once a pennystock … it traded below $2 … today is at ~ $105
What has Nike to do with MusclePharm? …
To me a lot …
Nike is the world's leading designer, marketer and distributor of authentic athletic footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories for a wide variety of sports and fitness activities …
• I think that MP is attempting to be the Nike’s of the Sport Nutritional Complement space … designer, marketer and distributor of authentic sport’s nutritional complements
Nike’s mission statement is ” To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world. *”If you have a body, you are an athlete.” – Bill Bowerman “
• MP´s mission statement calls to Fuel The Athlete Inside™!
Nike’s business model is centered in the brand … it is a research, marketing & branding company …
• MP does the research, markets & brand MP’s products … it does not manufacture its products alike Nike
You can check Nike’s history in the web .. here is an example .. http://xroads.virginia.edu/~class/am483_97/projects/hincker/nikhist.html
you can find some similarities all along … I believe MP’s management is attempting to the do the same that Bowerman started back in the 60’s
I am not saying that MSLP will get to the 100 mark …but if they get out their “Other Expenses” challenge and turnaround the NSF & IC’ issue, MP has a chance to make it big!
Let’s hope we have a great week ahead of us!
I am long on MSLP!
By The way. ... Different than The one that is on the web?
http://www.mmaelite.net/
I am calling NSF to find out why they were deslited but they guy in charge of this is not answering ... did anybody know the reasons for this?
I haven´t seen MP on the UFC mat anymore ... weren´t they supposed to be there?
no problem ... I will .. but I am not in Brazil ... I live between Buenos Aires & Santiago de Chile ... I also put some $ down
... their "other expense" challenge is real and of a big concern ...
... however on the positive side ... the 1Q2012 vs 1Q2011 showed a great advance from operations ... gross profits up by 1 point ... and almost 6X that of previous year ... while G&A Expenses went down more than half in relative terms ... so I believe that if they are able to get out of their financing troubles ... this baby will rock!
Cheers from the South Cone!
