They're in 500+ locations. What information do you have that indicates that they're going out of business?
I would think Amazon is not a big seller for them, so they're probably trying to put something together to offer cans online instead of restocking... just a guess though. I know the high cost was an issue with bottles in order to meet Amazon's requirements.
Who is playing games and why? Someone sold $67 worth of shares in order to bring the price down by 14%. This is obvious manipulation, right?
Yeah, all valid points. We know that Tony is not a fan of giving frequent shareholder updates, so all may be good as far as we know. The Lickinghole update and Woodstock updates were pretty small deals but I don't think would bother anyone if we knew what else was going on.
Something is up...100%. The past month it's following this pattern of huge loss and quick recovery. I actually was going to sell for a slight gain only because I could use the cash right now, but I canceled and am going to wait for huge gains. :)
That is a good story!
Been having stomach ulcers so I had to stop drinking mine at least for now due to carbonation, so I served some at a party we had over the weekend. Everyone loved the product and one guy asked to take the rest home... lol
Yeah, you are right though. I didn't realize they are completely out on Amazon of ALL flavors. As positive as I am, I'm not feeling like there is a good excuse for that. Online probably would do much better with cans... which they exist, but don't ask me where!
3rd quarter was Sept 30th, so I'd expect to see something soon.
I don't like the "radio silence" either, but their social media is active and they are using more professional images than before. I'm hoping that Tony is just holding out for something that is a "done deal". It does seem like once he posts, that these are things that are going to actually happen. He did post about the cans, he posted about 7-11 overseas, and he's posted about 100 million being the goal. He's got the big boy backing to accomplish this, so I really do believe we're still there.
It could be helpful being that this is not a product that is readily available. If someone sees an ad for Apple Rush (God willing), they'll have no idea that it only is sold in Lucky's (at least here in Sarasota... that I know of). Of course, once this is worldwide at every store imaginable, we'll all be able to drive our solid gold cars to any store to buy and won't need the locator.
Yeah, it's never made much sense to me. Not red flags or anything, but there are things that are low hanging fruit that could be completed within hours. Probably lots of data entry for a store locator, but still should be more of a priority than it is. Seems like investors keep buying it back to .012 though so that's good.
Apple Rush still has less sugar than say, Mountain Dew.

It's pretty ridiculous to post something that really has nothing to do with Apple Rush. It is an obvious scare tactic to influence investors to sell.
Yeah, very encouraging that we bounce back from the dips pretty consistently now. I think Hard Rush is really going to be the catalyst if/when it ever comes to fruition.
I can't argue with you there. I never understood the drama with the site. Why was the original site put under construction until the new one was ready? I think they put out the new one just to get it done, so it's obviously not his area of expertise.
What I do care about is if his area of expertise is expanding the product and increasing sales.
The second quarter net loss was a paper loss due to the high cost of hiring a former NFL player... we've already talked about this, no?
This is only the second year of this business, so they are doing very well all things considered. I'd like to know more about what's on the horizon though. They have 500 streams of income right now, so chances are that we will see that growth.
Which group is it? Looks like the APRU Investors Group is up to 54 members. There is another one with 24 members so no idea why there was a split. All of us investors get along perfectly!! lol
You're right, good for him! How many people can say that they've profited 6 figures on stock for their ENTIRE LIVES. Not only to profit that much, but to still have 10 million shares left over... this guy is my hero, and I'm here to learn from him... lol
It would be great to get an update on Grey Eagle happenings. That expansion seemed to be huge, but AR's media hasn't mentioned anything midwest all summer. It doesn't mean that they are doing poorly, but I do feel somewhat in the dark at this point. Expansion progress would be great to know too.
So Money or anyone, what does Tony speculate the share price to be at, at the end of his 5 year plan? I know it's probably meaningless and not even something he may have a clue on, but would be interesting to know.
Awesome, thanks for the info.
It would be interesting if anyone else can find information otherwise.
Do you know where the info is posted for the DTC Chill?
This is what I found from the sec, but searching yields no results for APRU.
"When DTC chills or freezes a security, it will issue a “Participant Notice” to its participants. These notices are publicly available on DTC’s website at http://www.dtcc.com/en/legal.aspx."
https://www.sec.gov/oiea/investor-alerts-bulletins/ib_dtcfreezes.html
Exactly... I read that it has to be posted on DTC's site. Otherwise, how would anyone know if there was a DTC Chill in place?
I thought the DTC Chill issue was resolved a while back? If there is still a Chill, where is it documented? I'm not seeing it on DTC's site, or the OTC Market.
Well this chat has taken a dark turn... lol
I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a newbie that knows next to nothing, so I appreciate most contributors here other than those that are paid demoters. I think it's pretty awesome that APRU can't breathe in a different direction without it being posted here.
Did hedge_fun really overhear MM's talking about shorting APRU? Did the steak really cost $450? Did he order some fries with that shake? Did Maggie shoot Mr. Burns? Who knows?! It's all just info to filter out and help guide us in investing for APRU. Personally, the MM stuff doesn't bother me as even if it were true, this company will live and die by sales and profit margins. If this goes national, it would bury any manipulation and shorters would end up bankrupt. It is currently on track to expand nationally and internationally, so buying now at these prices makes sense no matter how you slice it.
Yeah, it's weird. No news in June and my total share value went up by about $500 per day for the entire month. Of course, I'd be happy as a schoolgirl at $1 per share, but figured while I was dreaming I'd sell at what it would take to make 7 figures... lol
I decided to lock up all of my shares at $2.85 a share....lol. Thanks for the post!
Cool, thanks for the info and makes perfect sense. Just seems crappy that OTC would act quickly to put up a Yield when it's obvious that the fins are there.
I'm confused... The Quarterly report has been out. I see this hasn't been updated, https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/apru/financials so maybe it's just a data entry issue?
Really appreciate your efforts Trader!
I too have kept a watch on my local store, and I've done some free photography for them as well. They actually used my image that I took of 3 bottles on my kitchen counter for a month or so. It was actually the month that we had our most recent run, so I'm sure it was because of me...lol!
I honestly am not seeing the "red flags" as something that is beyond explanation if we were to call Tony and ask. Several were on here bashing him as a fraud for not canceling the shares, yet it happened! I'm not giddy on everything posted on fins, but also as it was stated earlier, we're on year 1.5 of a 5-year plan. It's a loss on the first few years of a business, so nothing to me seems too out of place. I mean... this is a 1.6 cent stock after all... I wouldn't expect perfection for a while, and then I won't be able to afford to buy it.
The pilot run is supposed to be 20 Walmarts, with 3 that they've posted on already (Miami, Miramar, and Plantation). They have mentioned Orlando too I believe. I can't find the post, but its there if you dig.
Looking at the display, each shelf holds a single case (9x3 = 27), and there are 6 shelves, so 27x6 = 162 total just to have a shelf with no backup inventory. 20 stores are not game-changing (162x20 = 3240 bottles), but this is a pilot partnered with the largest retailer in existence.
If that pilot succeeds, Walmart has 11,369 other locations. Just to stock those locations, it would take 1856407 bottles for a single display in each store with no backup inventory. I'm sure that wouldn't happen at once, but now you can start to see where this large inventory could have a purpose.
So yes, this is so large that it is potentially the beginning of a retirement event for all of us on here.
Where do you get "50 bottles" from? 20 Walmarts would need much more than that. A single display would need a few hundred.
National with Walmart would be a large deal, and the pilot is phase 1 of that large deal. No one knew about this, just like we won't know the results until Tony is ready to tell us.
And (I'm sure I'll be challenged on this one...lol) I don't think Tony has said he was going to do something (i.e. cancel shares, St. Loius deal, new website) and not come through, at least eventually. This means that Japan is something that will actually happen!
What makes this different than other OTC garbage is that Tony seems to be focused on the product rather than the stock price. If Tony cared about pumping, there would be constant Newswires with promises that never come true. Instead, we see a product that has tripled distribution in a year with a relatively quiet CEO.
No one in this chat posted about WalMart until after product was on the shelves. That to me would qualify as a "large deal" because it is a pilot test for national distribution. For all we know, WalMart could have required APRU to have the ability to supply nationally if the pilot was a success.
I respectfully disagree. If WalMart or 7-11 signs a large deal, APRU has to be able to fill orders. A recent build up of inventory could back up the theory that such a deal has just been made.
Right... stockpiling inventory would indicate that they have plans for it, so that's a positive.
The big loss here is from the "Stock for services". If I'm reading correctly, those are mostly Lenoard Marshall and KG Studios.
It all looks like a healthy, growing company to me!
Yes, exactly! If more people knew about the product, I could easily see it being one of the top drinks in the market.
I definitely am encouraged by the improvements in day to day operations. I emailed Sarah this morning to let her know about Apple Rush not being on the shelves at the Lucky's in Sarasota. It actually had me concerned.
So she called up the store manager who let her know that they had it fully stocked 4 days ago and that they would look into it, then she got Apple Rush's "territory manager" involved.
Sarah just reached out to let me know that she heard back from the manager saying that shelves were now full, and I can go get my drinks.
It just shows me that they are on top of it, and are immediately responding to any issues in the stores. It's also good when we report things like this, so it draws attention to the fact that there is real demand.
It's definitely exciting for Apple Rush to be the sponsor, but looking at the ticket sales, they've only allocated 420 tickets starting at $299.

Looking deeper on their site
" These are not concert events, but rather adventures built to satisfy the fans! "
So really, it doesn't seem to be a huge event with massive exposure, but it will be exposed to some people with big pockets, so still good.
Wow... that's crazy.
I wonder if you have enough information to report this?
https://www.classlawgroup.com/securities-fraud/laws/securities-exchange-act-of-1934/
I mean I totally understand but uh... for the rest of the people out there, can you explain who these "MMs" are and why do they do it? Are these just day traders looking to shake down the price and scare people, only to buy a larger amount at a lower price?
The new logo is on their site too.
