The good news is that the drop wasn't based on anything that had to do with the company. The volume is nice, so I doubt these prices will last the week.
Exactly. It's easy to get down on the stock because of its daily performance, but just looking at who is on this team tells you that we're almost a guarantee that a national Walmart deal is happening this year.
Just check out http://aprubrands.com/board-of-advisors-copy/ and do some DD.

This will go supernova at some point, and investors will dream of the day where you could buy it for as cheap as $.06.
Of course I'd rather see a 4+ billion share reduction, but it's still 8% and something he wasn't required to do. This shows me that he is following through with the efforts to uplist, and this is probably the low hanging fruit. He indicated that more was coming, so the days of this stock being this cheap are probably numbered.
We have to also remember that he now has a team of seasoned experts advising him which he did not have a few years back.
Right but all of us should have been aware of the share structure before investing, so none of this is a surprise. Any reduction is appreciated and sounds like more are coming.
Honestly, I would have thought that it would have popped by now too, but "national expansion" was promised this year, not this month. We are in the "raising capital" phase until Q2, but national deals could be announced any day now. The increase in volume tells me that insiders are aware of the progress and ramping up for it. Already we're over a million in volume, and it's only 10:30 am.
I'll be joining the chorus if we're looking like this in November, but for now, we're still on course.
Agree 100%
It's literally named "Apple Rush Company Investors APRU Group" created by "applerush.com"
Yeah the investors group one is the one with applerush.com as the admin. I just messaged it so I'll see if they respond. I'd be curious to know what Tony says. I've been extremely pro APRU so really pisses me off. They used my photography for a few months as their page, so it makes no sense to burn someone like me.
Wow.. they just called me out as a negative poster!

Adios negative posters!
I guess maybe they're trying to really control the message going out to new investors for the OTCQB uplist. It seems shady to wipe out questions and info that could be helpful to know for an investor though, so it's not the group for me.
Inappropriate?? How is it a bash to share relevant information regarding the stores that currently carry Apple Rush? I'm about as pro Apple Rush as they come, but we all should be informed on anything Apple Rush related. I even stated that this shouldn't hurt them once the national rollout happens.
What's the point of having a Facebook group if you can't share relevant information? If anything, the post was neutral as it's an issue with Lucky's and not APRU. I was hoping to get new information flowing to those groups, but it looks like I'm going to drop from them instead as I can get everything I need here.
Weird that my post with the Lucky's news was deleted from the Apple Rush Company Investors APRU Group Facebook group.
I'm still encouraged by the volume though. We're easily up 2-3x every single day from where we were a month ago. I'm wondering if it's just because the chill was lifted? Either way, it's a good indicator of increased interest! I'm buying cheapies whenever I can.
Volume has tripled from what it normally is, so we are probably close to another run.
Yeah, that account has this pic posted. Apple Russian!?

It's also great to hear that they are communicating a Q2 timeframe for the uplist and "raising capital".
It would be interesting to know which retailers are involved and the status, but I'm sure we won't hear until deals are signed.
As seemingly uneventful the past year has been, it's about to get really exciting!
Here you go:
"Philip A. Busch, President and Owner of Southern Eagle Distributing Inc., said, "We would like to welcome Jason to the APRU team. We look forward to his high energy, organizational skills and overall operational wisdom to help APRU grow additional avenues for sales and distribution. We are thrilled to have his support with the online e-commerce ordering that has started and we are excited for the efficiency that Jason can bring to the table. His experience as a successful business owner will help build the team necessary to accelerate our overall business plan."

If this was truely such "garbage", why would the Busch family and other high profile individuals tie their names to APRU?
This was also interesting under the About The Apple Rush Company, Inc.
"Also coming soon www.aprubrands.com"
Thanks man!
I think it's very clear why we're all bullish, and I know I've said it several times.
The CEO has guaranteed "explosive" national/international growth next year, along with having an actual plan to do it. The CEO has the Support/backing of the Busch family, which can orchestrate this type of distribution in their sleep. Their involvement is on their financials and in their Newswires, so it's not disputable.
-OTCQB uplist is planned. This means that the stock will not drop below $.01 again, and another indication that growth is planned.
Recent hires and advisory board are high-level executives with experience in this space. Each individual named has been confirmed as an industry leader.
Going off numbers alone and not considering these facts is puzzling to me.
This almost seems like it was a practice run organized by the Busch's, and now the real launch is planned for 2020. I would still like you to recommend a "sell" as I wouldn't mind getting more of these for cheap.
Yeah sorry, that's what I meant to say... lol
Yeah, I don't get it either. Why would someone sell below ask?
Yeah, volume is looking nice!
I'm feeling pretty good about squeezing in an order at .012. It will be crazy at some point, probably as soon as they start executing on the national rollout. Once we start seeing commercials and it becomes a household brand, who knows what type of numbers this will pull in.
All I know is that Tony and investors won't let it go below .01 again in order to meet OTCQB requirements, which is going to happen next year.

Sorry if I'm repeating, but I've almost soiled meself re-reading the plans for next year.
I know he likes it or at least prefers when investors call him. Do you want to volunteer to call and ask? It would be nice to know this info, although I'm satisfied right now to trust what they've been cooking up lately.
Definitely good DD on your part, but maybe it's not part of the plan? They may have another name in mind.
We have big players with a business plan that will mean inevitable gains for all of us. I think having a version of Hard Rush will be a great asset, but it's an unknown at this point.
Yeah still trying to find more about him, but that says a lot to me that Philip Busch so strongly endorses him. It demonstrates how involved the Busch family still is with APRU, and how they are ensuring their success.
It looks like he worked for Anheuser-Busch 15 years ago as a Director of Audio.

Right! This is not just some clown... grab these shares while you can!

The funny thing here is that we compare $.01 APRU to major brands at different lifecycle stages. Yep, it's not there yet but here is what Tony has accomplished: Partnerships with major distributors selling at 500+ locations with major industry backing, and currently about $1 million annual sales. He's now saying that we will experience explosive expansion in the short term (2020), which then sounds like we will be competing with major brands and I guarantee will not have a $.01 price tag. This is a real guy that has produced real results. It's a real product that tastes great and has real distribution. He has an employee that actually has delivered on what he's promising, so all of this is completely within reason to assume that it will happen. This literally could be the best investment of your lifetime.
The 60% drop is a quarterly drop when comparing to the same quarter last year, and explainable by a single large distributor purchase. The 9 month numbers aren't nearly as bad, so kind of weird that we're not talking about that instead.
Inventory is also something that you need to have on hand especially in anticipation of growth.
"Each wholesaler invested heavily on the purchase of their initial inventory, resulting in lower revenue from juice sales compared to 2018. This will correct itself moving forward as we build the brand."
This is not what I would consider a "drop in sales" and is what I suspected all along.
I'm actually kind of shocked that this hasn't taken off yet. We have been promised explosive worldwide growth over a short period of time from a CEO that has produced actual results.
I just scraped up some pennies around the house to grab another 45k.
Nice, finally some good news! This is what I expected since I know Tony had mentioned the bottles were expensive through Amazon.
Lucky's Market in Sarasota just posted Hemp and CBD drinks...Black Cherry... not Apple Rush though!
Over 5 million today! Numbers don't lie. There are obviously people scared here, but there are people who are obviously sure of something too.
That's the problem though... we just don't know. It would be weird to hire a guy like that and have him do nothing. It does feel more like it's either going to be very big, or very bust... lol
Actually I think it is or at least close to NY at Shoprite. They stopped posting so much about the tastings, and I remember one of the locations was real close.
You probably have the intro hidden. It's there for me if I go to the upper right and click "Show intro"
