I hate to drop more money, but if what you're saying is true, this really is the last time that we may be able to buy in the trips.
Right... Doug should be getting a check for all his efforts.
I was pretty disappointed with their Facebook live video too. I just think they could do better, so hopefully next week they'll have the kinks worked out. I took the time to write out 4 questions, so I'd like to at least be acknowledged. I'm being fair, right?
The reason this is tanking is plain and simple. There is a huge shareholder that is liquidating. I would imagine even if we had big news that this still could be crushed if someone huge doesn't have a high value for their shares, so it could be a blessing that the seller is doing it now.
Wow... could this really be true?
Name: Jason Atwell
Estimated Net Worth: $357 Million
Ok maybe this makes me feel a little better ...lol
Yes, completely agree. We have a CEO that when he says something, it does happen even if not on the original time table.
I just took a beating from the wife because I admitted that I bought all the way down. I had to explain that this isn't gambling because we know the players involved and they are actually producing great products that we can buy.
I have pulled back on some of my enthusiasm because this 90% decrease in value was not something that I saw coming, but there still isn't a business reason for all of it. What it does expose is how vulnerable the stock is from all of the "cheapie" holders, but I do also believe that it's still temporary and good to purge them out now.
The loss is from shares given in lieu of salaries for highly qualified executives in preparation for the national roll out this year.
We appreciate the DD, but most of us have been living/breathing this stock daily/hourly for a few years. :)
He pointed out how painful this was for those that were compensated with stock which effectively means that they are working for free. What was confusing is that he then mentioned bringing on someone else. Does that mean a replacement because they can't afford Jason or Nick?
I think what we all want to know is when this is going to turn around (i.e. news on the national deal). I think it will correct itself when this happens, or when the large seller runs out of shares to essentially give away for free.

Did you even look up their address? Not "mommy's basement". They have pictures of this location and have held events here (Holloween)

The net loss from shares from 2019 was already explained. Do you think there is no cost to assembling a world-class team? He paid them in stock in lieu of cash. In order to roll out nationally, you need the right advisors and resources and of course, that's not free.
I didn’t expect great numbers because that isn’t what was promised. The national roll-out this year is what was promised, and Q2 was mentioned.
+Busch family still involved
+Share reduction from 20 Billion to 6 Billion
+Major industry leaders were compensated with shares (shows that they are involved, and shows that they are willing to forego compensation for shares as they know the likely outcome from their efforts)
Mine went through under my bid, so it's the seller that controls the price at this point.
Just a guess, but since these giant orders are going through, it may indicate that we have found bottom, right? 131 million on the ask right now.
Once we hit bottom, prices will increase daily and cause a run. That combined with grocery stores booming and a national rollout announcement could be really awesome for us.
Well.. it's either horrible or awesome. If this does recover (which it absolutely should), anything you get today will multiply exponentially. All I see is Apple Rush growing every day and adding product, so since I'm already at a loss, I might as well add these discount shares and double my position at a fraction of the cost. Heck if this just went back to .02 I'd be in awesome shape.
Oh right... I forgot that there were two designs for the cans so it makes sense to retire the old one.
Wow, that's awesome. I know it's powerful by the way it put me to sleep, but this is also the hardcore strength. Headaches are weird where one thing works one time and then doesn't do anything the next, so inflammation may not be the issue for me.
Anyone know what they mean by "while supplies last"?

I don't think any of that is off the table though. He did again mention "National rollout" and he's said over and over again that it would happen in 2020.
The share price continues to be awful, but I used it as an opportunity to buy almost half of what I already owned at 1/3rd the price!
It's literally like Tony went on Shark Tank and made a deal, so I still see this as a low-risk investment.
Glad that he heard the call for better communication, and that he also confirmed that stock performance has nothing to do with company performance. I'm also happy that he clarified one of the false narratives and pretty much called out one of the members here without mentioning names. I pity the foo!
Cool... do they know if it's something that is in the works?
Well... the only reason I question it is because I had been taking the 3000 strength full spectrum which is $275 for a 30oz bottle, and it doesn't help in the same way that Advil does. It will knock me out and help with sleep for sure, but wasn't really effective even at that strength to touch my headaches.
I took out the .0036s thinking that it may jump start something, but nope... slammed back down to the opening price.
I agree, but there does seem to be a demand for CBD drinks and maybe easier to take to market. CBD literally just helps with inflammation (barely) and can put you to sleep (in high amounts) without any type of "buzz". It's kind of like the opposite of an energy drink but supposedly has health benefits.
Hard Rush just seems like a natural next step and could easily be a nationwide sensation, so I'm hoping it's still on their radar.
That is kind of my fear too. If something fell through and those in the know are selling because of it. Ronnda seems to be excellent with servicing single customers (I've heard good feedback firsthand), but not sure she would be involved with coordinating large deals.
Tony still assured us on Feb 20th's Newswire that it was going to happen (national rollout), so I think we're still good.
Right... once you release public shares, you lose control of what people do with the shares. People were compensated with shares as many companies do, but we're not even sure if they are the ones doing the selling. Now the new shareholders are in at a higher price (probably), so less likely to sell at a lower price moving forward.
The executives could very well be extremely busy trying to close deals and prepare for a huge, mind-blowing rollout. I'm sure this is a daunting task and I really doubt that they wouldn't have posted about a national rollout if it wasn't definitely going to happen. I'd love to see corporate updates but as it's happened in the past, big things happen without notice (i.e. Walmart test).
We're still months away from where I would consider "promises broken" land. As long as the rollout happens, I don't care about share price because doing the business right will correct share price naturally instead of trying to pump it up with Newswires.
Up 43%! Hopefully we'll see some of this hold. The run back to "normal" may be the catalyst that we were looking for.
We forget that the Busch news is what propelled this from trips to $.06, so this absolutely could still recover. Nothing has changed with the business at least to my knowledge, so this still is probably a great time to buy. I am not seeing the warning signs of collapse from a business perspective, and that's what would make this a stock to dump immediately. Instead, we still see plans moving forward and new products being released. A smart investor bucks the trend, and I believe this is one of those opportunities.
I just picked up some more at .00286 which is nuts.
lol! Yeah, I don't get why people mislead. It doesn't take much to prove that the Buschs are involved as you can see it not only on APRU's site, but also they are named in the fins with their massive shares!
You know the answer to this!

Apple Rush Company, Inc. announces the hiring of COO Jason Atwell to strengthen operations prior to National Rollout
Press Release | 12/06/2019
TITUSVILLE, Fla., Dec. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Apple Rush Company, Inc. (OTC PINK: APRU) (the “company”) is proud to announce the hiring of Jason Atwell, former CEO of AAG-Live and COO of Northern Holdings Farms and Ranches, to fill the position of Chief Operating Officer.
Tony Torgerud, CEO of Apple Rush, stated, “We have been building a dynamic, experienced team looking forward to our National expansion plans for Apple Rush and the APRU portfolio for 2020. This team is diverse and will provide us with the expertise we need to accomplish the aggressive plans we have laid out for our future.”

It appeared that an investor liquidated for whatever reason, but nothing was based on actual company performance. Being that Tony promised massive 2020 results, I would stick around for 2020 or at least the end of Q2. I believe this will be announced soon for national distribution in Walmart, but that's just my opinion based on multiple stores testing and an advisor with sales ties to Walmart. If that happens, we'll see a race to $.10 to $.25 per share.
That's cool that you were able to verify that with Tony, as I suspected that the 500 stores were just a test all along. I'm sure part of the plan also included the 6 Walmarts and of course would have to be approved/coordinated with Walmart's corporate office. I used to work as a vendor (HP) next to their Corp office, and it's a huge deal to work with them. I'm sure this is all part of a bigger plan that we're not privy to yet.
Also if you're saying sales now are the best ever also means that the product has been sold to Walmart already and just staging for the official release date.
Of course all speculation, but this makes the most logical sense.
You don't think it would be an embarrassment and all over the media if Philip A. Busch was involved with an evil penny stock scam that started out with a 500 store trial run of actual products, then brought in industry leaders to devise a detailed plan for national/international distribution of delicious drinks, only to pull out the rug at the last minute and say "gotcha!!"
That's seriously what you're trying to sell us.
Here are the big players, along with photos and biography.
If they were so embarrassed, I wonder why they're still on APRU's site?

You can independently verify each one via Linkedin and other media.
It may be upsetting to you, but the cards are so stacked in Apple Rush's favor that this has almost no chance at failing.
Funny you should say that. I buy this in bulk and became addicted even at Lucky's $2.49 price point. I started serving these at my kids parties and now the adults are addicted.
Obviously some very big players think that Tony knows his stuff and are staking their reputation on it.
Awesome... it all makes sense as those are the same companies from APRU's advisory board.
I don't get how this is helpful, and I'm not even sure I understand. He's trying to negotiate with the chains (at least I would hope), but seems to be hitting them for not being quick and decisive like "mom & pops"... but "mom & pops" is offensive... maybe he's consumed too much THC this morning??
CBD makes you sleep and has no "buzz" like THC, so it's not going to be an exciting party! lol
I'm sure the Busch's will still make this a success, as they are more involved than ever. It's probably the least logical time to sell with it being Feb 19th and a promised national expansion in 2020. Nothing has changed with who is involved or what is going on.
Yeah, someone with a ton of shares is offloading them at any price.
Nice! I had the intro turned off for a while now. I'm guessing we're getting a lot of new investors, so it's good to have REAL info hitting them as soon as they come here.
Yeah, not sure but looks like we're headed in the right direction, AND with volume.
Wow... 9 million volume
