Think the investors also like the news.
The release was put out by the CEO Michael Michie - I would call buy I like the mystery. Who is buying and at what price? Lets see if there is a stock buyer closer to the answer.
Where do we go from here? -- UP UP
NEWS -- And what does it mean! I trust the direction the company takes to growth. Now:
RACINE, WI, July 29, 2011 -- Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTCQB: PFSD) (www.pacificsands.biz), which manufactures environmentally friendly, non-toxic liquid and powder cleaning, laundry, and water treatment products, announced today the company has begun negotiations with a buyer to acquire its direct retail business segment. This includes direct retail business conducted on www.ecogeeks.com.
Michael Michie, CEO, commented: “During the past year, our manufacturing and private label business has grown rapidly and continues to offer great promise. We believe this is the time to further sharpen our focus on this core business. We have been in discussions with a potential buyer that can manage, maintain and provide service for a customer-centric internet-based business.”
In the company’s early stages of development, the direct retail segment comprised a significant portion of its overall revenues and profits. With recent significant growth in its private label manufacturing and ecoone® pool and spa products, direct retail now comprises a substantially smaller amount of the company’s overall revenues. While the profit margins are higher for direct retail, the amount of resources dedicated to serving end-user customers is disproportionate to the benefit. For the past two years, the company’s direct retail sales have grown at a much slower rate than its private label and branded product sales.
Management anticipates the proposed transaction will reduce the company’s operating expenses, enhance the balance sheet and enable the company to focus on its best-performing segments. The retail business will continue to feature Pacific Sands’ manufactured product lines and generate revenue for the company. Management anticipates that the new entity’s focused dedication to the direct retail marketing will serve to improve Pacific Sands brand’s visibility, identity and customer base, ultimately leading to increased sales.
With no current value or goodwill associated with the retail segment, the company anticipates a sale could generate a meaningful tax-free gain on sale. Management believes the sale could be concluded within the next 60 days.
Starting to get real interesting!
Lakers, this is great for PFSD and even bigger for GMND, follow their action.
From GMND web site - wonder how BUGS fits into the picture?

The company’s recent announcement about utilizing the Beach Haven terminal for brine water recycling has generated interest from several gas and oil drilling companies requesting additional information about the facility and the recycling technology. The company is in discussion with the parties to determine the scope of interest and needs.

The Company is also entertaining discussions from third parties interested in developing private label packaging and distribution logistics for the company’s Bi-Agra(TM) agriculture products. GMND intends to launch distribution of the agriculture products to large scale food producers for yield enhancement, water conservation and improved plant health. Over the past six months, the Bi-Agra(TM)/Bio-Miracle(TM) products have undergone evaluation for use on coffee, corn and sesame seed production for international growers. The company is outsourcing the packaging, warehousing and and product fulfillment services to facilitate the large order sizes anticipated.
From GMND web site - I like the last line.

From Green Mountain Dev web site (notice no mention of PFSD at this time). Also no mention on PFSD facebook, todays release is first mention of PFSD and probably released by GMND.

Already took its dip - all up from here!
I'm sure when people try the products they will be sold on them. I do like the Tissue Topis model because they do get people to try the product. Having the product in a store is a big step, next is getting people to try the product.
I'm totally sold on the products I have most and use them constantly - won't use any other.
Could very well happen - L2 at this point looks favorable.
And hows about a little more news from Pacific Sands:

PFSD Launches New Direct Retail Campaign:
Blissmo: The "Groupon" of the Environmental World Chooses Pacific Sands "refillables" for National Promotion
(RACINE, WI) - Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTCQB / Pinksheets: PFSD) (www.pacificsands.biz)
Dear Pacific Sands Investors and Friends,
This is one of those "news that doesn't quite warrant a press release" updates. We send these out to our investors and friends to keep you updated on some the day to day activities that could, someday down the road lead to much bigger things.
The Blissmo team works to cut through the “green washing” out there and find high quality, well-loved products & services that are either certified as organic or eco-friendly, or that have a people & planet positive approach in the DNA of the business. They then negotiate compelling discounts and offer these products & services to their over 100,000 customers via email and online specials.
Blissmo's recent promotion was a complete Natural Choices 'refillables' cleaning kit for $20. The special has been very successful so far, leading to a near sellout of the nits available.
Since the special ran, we've already seen the following benefits:
- acquired nearly 150 new direct retail customers
- we've been contacted by two more similar "Groupon" model companies who will be featuring our products in the coming weeks.
- Increased www.ecoGeeks.com single day traffic by more than 2 fold
- Have been contacted by a number of retailers interested in carrying the products.
All in all, this is an excellent new strategy for introducing our products to the environmental products marketplace. Instead of paying for advertising, we're actually making money acquiring new customers, while exposing our brand to 100's of thousands of potential new customers.
If you'd like to take advantage of this offer, please visit Blissmo: Hurry - the offer expires tonight at midnight. the last time I checked, there were only two left of the original offer, but we upped it by 50 units.
Sincerely,
Michael L. Wynhoff
President
Pacific Sands, Inc.
Joe v., good to hear from you here. Yes its my second largest holding, and doing well.
Have been trying to get interest in having folks post on WNRC's facebook page - so far no happs. I do think new investors will come from friends of facebook as they have (in my opinion) for PFSD, which has done very well with pps rise and volume.
On facebook the company is trying to prime the pump for investor interest - join in! The wealth of new investors I'm sure will come from the outside interest in the company. Yes I have done well with this stock and could do better.
Think it would be helpful for more folks to add their support on facebook. The info about earnings has been posted - there are now over 850 friends lots of potential investors.

I use real time and Ameritrade - usually both are similar.
Good close for PFSD and WNRC (my two largest holdings). I do like the change to L2 having to show total numbers for Bid and Ask.
Rhino - try this link http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/PFSD/quote
My optomism says that this last qtr is the first of many increases in quarterly sales - to me more important than profits. Hopefully PFSD is in a profitable trend going forward.
Joe V. True we do look at the glass from opposite ends - so I do value your analysis. Thanks
Joev2, I'm quite impressed with the Qtr - whats your take?
And around the bend, Bid from .153 to .154 And the ask from .165 to .164 --- No trades today.
HOTdammmmm, we broke through .16 - Whats next?
We'll see - I do expect reasonable earnings with good forward looking news. Currently good resistance at .16, could be a couple hundred k at this level.
Where do we go from here? So quiet here, especially since its showing its best pps performance in years.
Do agree on your assessment of who the buyers are. Mick's facebook page has lots of action. And helps maintain the interest.
I'm already getting that rich - itchy - feeling. O well, I'll just have to figure what to do with it all.
Clearly some one(s) is taking a healthy position. I'll follow volume closely for the next couple months to get a better feel.
Today's what I call "Holding the Line"!
Where do we go from here?
Or could it be catch up to GMND? In that case it has a bit to go.
Are you trying to say that there are no sellers or buyers?
Could have been one hellof a move - for me!
I'm an old flea market guy - a few years in San Jose Ca. Thanks for the message from the yahoo site brought back good memories. I have use most if not all of the Natural choices products and am totally pleased with the results and am shortly going to palce another order. Gots to have a supply.
Very good move by the Meyer's. This can only increase pps and they holding a substantial number of shares will, I think, more than make up the difference.
Joev, what is your take - you being more practicle.
I picked up GMND when no one wanted it - was a good move. And now no one wants BUGS, so I loaded up again. Lets see if I can hit another home-run.
Was just waiting for me to pickup another bunch. Now it can fly.
Lakers, were on our way - has been awhile but think next week will see new high's
Great call, Buddy
