Sorry to ask, but can u do that too??
I would prefer to protect my identity....if you can get me a location in Sao Paulo, sao paulo, brazil I will reply with any feed back I get in person and provide photo of proof.
Thanks in advance
Yes, except wit you ...lol....of course, it's my nature to share and to do it honestly....this side o my morals has been both and attribute and a weakness to date, but I'm not changing....atlesst not yet.
Could you tweet : where if any mp brick and mortar in brazil and let me know where upon reply?
My guess is the Anderson silva was a simple deal like the one fight with logo, some tweets....for a specifies amount of time with mp reserving right to renew.
Silva is quiet in brazil as he is tooooo big to comprehend....he can't have a true publi life....it's like he's a ghost....nobody I know has ever seen or know anybody who ha seen him....
I wouldn't be sure if it's a bad or good thing to retain him for mp?? He is followed byatt in brazil, but many in brazil are in poverty and couldn't afford mp supplements....for all we know his sponsorship may be more valuable in the US? .....just commenting as I unsure
Renn..lol....I was referring to their tweets not yours!
My point is simple: investors are NOT reading there tweets....buyers of the product are.
Investors would just want the data regarding there tweet (marketing) efficitveness....this is how it affects the pps in the long term.
And yes I get your frustration and that's why I offered someone I trust $500 for their insight...to date no takers or response
Edit: Thanks for skimping on the poetry for once...
I am going to brazil next fri for a few weeks and asked somebody here to tweet mp and ask if they have any brick and mortar there....euc said he did, but with no reply....can someone else try and let me know if they get any response.
I'll be in Sao Paulo....biggest city you'll ever see....would like to talk to someone there in person.
Yes brazil could be huge for all reasons stated....while there visiting familyy wife and I are also looking into property and employment opportunities.
Agreed.....I personally thinks twitter and the things these guys say is so cheesy, but there is an environment to which makes it very effective....don't kill their sales by exploiting a working marketing tool.
I'm frustrated as well, but really how does this help.....can they delete Thea type of posts?
No offense against you renn, but c'mon, this isn't the avenue to persue your questions.
Do what I did (or atlesst try)....I paid my advisor $500 to do some dd, attempt to read the financials....because he told me it is against company policy to even discuss an equity with this type of pps...haven't heard anything back yet, as he has to find somebody who will donate their free time....and yes $500 is considered a donation in their case.
Happy B-day as well. Glad to hear your still around....thought maybe you found something even worse out and decided to move on...
I know we don't see eye to eye all the time...maybe not even some of the time, but I have always thought that it was atleast constructive.
Completely agree...I would like to know if it is in more Walmarts and how the test run went and if they have or are still planning on rolling out to others??
I've gone back and forth pretty recently with superman regarding some mslp issues and wanted further insight....
The iPhone maker will introduce "hero" when appropriate...I don't know when, I don't understand market capitilazatiion....just a guy who is "paying" a lot to learn with some inside info here and there. (no inside info to date regarding mslp)...even if I did I wouldn't know how to use.....that's my bliss and ignorance
For example I can tell you the next search engine competitor to google will be "NESS"
So if I'm all wrong about mslp and my guesses....when you hear about ness you will say "he wasnt lying...just didn't know how to interpret/comprehend information and know how to use it"
No disrespect intended... Just was sharing on a limited basis for 2 reasons:
I don't want to help dumpe of the pump (if ther is one?)
I wish knowledge would be shared openly on things that I ask and don't understand...it's not (unless it's coded and being dislectic prevents me from interpretation)
Sorry for using a million word and 2 posts....thats probably why I am owner of a 6 digit company and not a 8 to 10 digit company....be cautious with my opinions
I am still lost with share structure and have only become more confused with time nd the additional filings...
My guess is .0137 is new absolute bottom with .06 as the slight over shoot? (though I do expect bounces in between, but I forecast this as the new parameters till end of year...
Will reply to this exact post tomm at some time...it's late.
I assumed the investors without inside knowledge would have already seen this before me and was trying to give opportunity to others(freshies / a lack of better word) that want to learn - time to learn something (as this has been and may continue to be the most costly learning experience of my life....and I can't afford it right now...I'm in 33% mor than I should).
Some may think its nothing,,,.but I think it is a major step in a calculated future initiative.....
I assume based on your post you have been aware of my strengths and weaknesses.....
I wil reply tomm with link to page tomm (beware nothing special unless you share a entrepreneuism optomistically and are willing to hope)
Just saying you don't create forms like this without a plan in place....especially if your a public entity....maybe I'm looking to into this, but based on "my limited" experience I think this is where we are headed.
Every company that has and issues such forms publicly in my industry are the "standard" (sabermetrics for Keith G) and dictate the future of my industry and have been in control since the '70's.

Hold or buy. As always games can be played in any line of business....but I found something that makes me very optimistic (not as if I wasn't already).
MP has the growth to license (outsource) every aspect of the operation...it's up to them to decide what is the most financially responsible. The market may take one day to value or weeks or months, but it's definitely within 9 months.
I'm not going to share the page I found, but with my experience this page is the future....when a company asks distributors to validate their capabilities (infrastructure ranging from sales, taxes, importation fees) and expects them to adhere to mp protocol while enduring all costs associated is basically saying "I am the monopoly and I call the shots- compete to represent my product) its a bidding war to distribute their products!
If you can locate the page AND have biz experience you will understand the significance...at the minimum you may be able to learn something about the growing global economy and it's competition.
It may equal a payday tomm, but it might take time as well,,,but you don't go in this direction without proprietary assets.
(it took me 6 years of runnin my own biz to see a similar light and understand its implications and the money required to execute...it's a gamble, but a huge CALCULATED gamble) remember all biz is a gamble....
Fact!
Fact is not success, but the direction in hopes of success and the methodolofy they are using for future growth is demonstrative of their opinion for the future potential....this is a big, massive, exponentially huge bet.
Good luck
EDIT: I would actually refer to Oldengray post last night....no bias in posters....something may have been overlooked by JW.
I value both of their post....
Nice of you to stop by again. My thought is that from what we haven't heard...it can't get worse. What benefit do they get by holding bad news from us?
I'm still baffled that the PPS didn't jump when the clinical trials were released that stated ASSAULT in not only effective, but proven to be safe....it's almost like us retails that move the PPS on a day to day have no idea how to value certain issues.
All I hear is they don't care about us....should they?? I think the more of us they can convince to sell...meaning fewer complaining shareholders the happier they will be and the easier it will be for them to do their job.
Remember this is a real company with real product thats supposedly real good based on consuemer reviews.
I'll take the negativity as a POSITIVE!!
Hope to hear from you again....sooner than later.
Just don't touch the 1 milly on the ask at .0132....it might piss somebody off....it will back off when we get there.
I bought more today as well...thinking news after bell today...news before bell monday....Then it will keep coming.
Still think we will have 18 mill Q2 revenue, but with explanation and operating profit.
Just shots in the dark...but I did put money on it.
How about 18 million in Sales for Q2, but with a operating profit?
Followed up with a PR explaing why sales had a slight dip, but with slightly increased margins....and an increase in year end estimates to $85million.
News or Q comes out today....something good should be released.
And yes this is a shot in the dark.
Did anybody else notice MERQ was full of hidden orders?? But at the same time was pissed he wasn't able to buy most of the shares he was selling??
It just looked fishy to me....
Not saying its going to happen, but I would not be surprised of a small gap up in the morning and then a smaller spread...in an attemp to relieve the buying pressure and ensure accumulation?
Thank you. Do you know if mm's can work for another??
Not sure how to word this, but it seemed like mm MERQ was doing some VFIN trading....maybe even some buy back?
Other bullish88 doing his thing in the middle MERQ trading seemed very similar to vfin style....NITE even backed off??
Could they actually file on sat or Sunday? Or is this tomorrow or an E on Monday deal?
When did musclepahrm sign Lawrence Timmons of the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Good to hear your keeping an eye here still...
If its truly what "I" want....this is/was a shakeout of bottom feeders .00x??
My prognosis puts them at $50 mill buyout on 2 years ($25 mill x 2- because of current global stresses) or $100mill market cap minimum if the hit $100 mill revenue and continue without any license agreements....after that....they can "possibly create the market standard"....
Based on my guess and my expertise lies within labor intensive cost with no brand except the industry (I'm a follower).
Anybody tweeted? Got response from MP about brick and mortar location in Brasil?
Going there next fri for 2 weeks...I'll definitely try a few gyms, but I would prefer suggestive guidance...I'll have info either way soon.
Mr. Wilson, we'll talk before I depart...
Thats with us " retail investors" absorbing the 6.6% alone....is that the point retail-(non warrant holders) hold only 5 to 15% max? I'll try the math again...
Thanks for the clear it reply...take it when I can.
And finally I appreciate the time taken for a genuine reply....it says something about you.
Back to work and learning gentlemen and women.

Thanks all for support and comments....it's great to here only positive things for little bit....to think and live foolishly.
Jovolio are you from Brasil or just pick up on conversation?
......
Now back to mslp , muscleturd, and our avatars! (just learned that word from an article with USC and Matt Barkley....)
Been nervous....In all seriousness I greatly appreciate the good vibe! Thanks!
What makes you say that when it was only a couple $k that could have been wash trades?
Whats your opinion on the additional mm's today?
Could you also answer(asked you this yesterday a well) the statement that with 20mill rev we raised $1mill cash for 7% that you posted?
That's what doc said today...it's a girl!!!
Thanks, I'll try and look further into the DTTC, DTCC, and DWAC...hopefully you won't mind if I bother you with a few other questions in the future.
The main reason I assumed it was becuase people had mentioned it here and at one point and time the musclepharm.com website had content awknowledging it....which made me inherently believe.
Then I called my Etrade broker and he said it didn't exist either, but I assumed he was wrong and they had not been clear about other issues/questoins I had for them (this conversation was when the musclepahrm website still had the content regarding the DTC chill on its website)
I really have trouble with this stuff...especially when I have no idea whom to believe....why would MP past content about a DTC chill regarding their stock when they weren't. Was this a game or hoest mistake??
Thanks again for pointing me in a direction.
NO. I only would if I wanted to hide a huge bid or sell.
Somebody knows...and won't share...you could just PM if you need to.
I just tried to buy the 5k at .0129 from NITE. My order was in for 30 seconds without being executed....then I cancelled it. Within 2 seconds right after I cancel it the ETRF market maker shows up asking for 5k as well and then shows a sale went through...
I am not allowed to buy shares from NITE??
C'mon somebody with knowledge step up and respond....with an explanation please.
I have never seen this many MM's on the L2...is the DTC chill lifted?
Anybody care to share their ideas why 8 more market makers are on the table today?
Some people here know, but will they share?
Gotta say and share this with mslp shareholders...
This is like therapy...like a huge real family... I mean we have everything here....wonder if musclepharm is like our parents when we were teens "we know everything and they don't know anything" LOL those were the days.
And cause once in a while I open up and share too much....wish me good luck ...going to get to see our first ultrasound tomorrow to see if my wife's and I first baby is healthy. Maybe find out if a boy or girl too??
Do we want to change the game? Bring a larger audience?
Please note some truth, opinion, and sarcasm in this post:
We could all post "buy Faceboo" here...we'd be the only site in the world saying that so every time some new sucker comes along wondering if he should buy fb...he'll come right here and see how much of a better deal shares are here. Ytd is almost the same, mslp has a much better upside, a similar if not less downside.
Big investor? How big is a big investor to you? What do you think is a big investor? They only need $20mill cash at most to instantly improve margins (far that matter everything).... You think m Stanley or some firm is gonna come ( at best via a 1% portfolia of a high high risk small cap mutual fund. That's an extra reason they are in no-mans land.
Now they've made mistakes, but they are also one of the most ppopular brands (if not the most with their growth and market share). Some here comment on brand like it doesn't mean anything because of the other issues....wrOng!! It matters more than anything (in this particular situation)! Example I own donut shop called dans in a area where winchella is everywhere--in this case I should buy my donuts at the cheapest price even if I buy from my cOmpetitor as long as I profitable (should be a accounting intensive biz) and I should care less whether somebody came to dans or just a donut shop. But if you bringing something to market , and in modern times it's beneficial to have proven product, your efforts should be focused on market share and first to market (re-capitalize/monopolize) your products infrastructure (includes everything from:creation, test, package, distribute, customer experience---and yes customer experience is an essential part of infrastructure that is overlooked).
I don't think anybody even the management knew if they could get this where it is....for all we know they got lucky....not they always knew and they screwed everybody over....maybe they just went for it and "wow that worked,,,what next???
I have noticed this:
Pps is double
10% less shareholders
Ton of dilution
Wait, did I just say a ton of dilution with 10% less shareholders and 100% gains since feb? Did I just say that? How much money has been poured in amongst fewer?
Kmart, he came on board in June 2011
I agree with both you and Kmart on this.
Your "if" 25 million gross sales would be massive.... and then the margins only get better and better and it becomes a calculable investment.
In regards to Kmart, he made a great point of 1 to 1.5 years to turn something like this around (I been priviledged to listen in on some heavy conversations regarding these issues before)....I would just tell Kmart NOT to forget when Buhler came on board(date?)...
Good could be closer than we think..
Haven't sold a share to date....and regretting it though (atleast to this point).
Good to hear from you.... and thanks for the level-headed insight...it should be interesting to see how quickly the new guys on-board can re-arrange all of MP's prior agreements/contracts that got them this deep....
Still thinking the 16th...suprise
Maybe a push to .022 with a Buy to Cover to .03 - then a reversal in optimism up to .045....with an overshoot to .07.
This is my hope...not opinion...it's not worth having an opinion with MSLP share price
Mighty good to hea you again...like your free perception. Nothing like experience to learn....way better than sitting on sidelines....as long as you manage your money and risk....
Good luck....looking forward to your input
Super you too...are you guys saying you think Brad is the reason they can't get financing, easentially the only good decision they need to make right now??
Do think that Brad has yet to be humbled??? Life's been to easy to learn anything?
Or do you think he has grown, but thats part of the territory as a CEO to take the wrap?
Hamham good prior post....very true....good choice of words
