That's crazyspeak Mr. MTP sir. Call Evian and ask them to tell you how much anything they sold yesterday in Australia, then ask 'em how many bottles are on the shelves of a store in Sydney. Please. I would recommend asking big hard questions that are much farther up the hierarchical food chain without the microview you suggest.
We need contract info, shares OS (to flush the omnipresent dilution commentary), investor awareness program questions, maybe some Manny Q's, Olympics?, world view- India, etc., new product, timing for new bottle and shipping dates, E & Y, etc.
We do not need fluff "how many bottles are on the shelves?" and "how many did you sell?" Think big picture and the rest will follow sir.
I totally agree Blue! I've been saying that for ages, and I caught nothing but grief for it because Steve was doing "such a great job". I had problems with both the tactical and strategic aspects. That being said, I do believe that AQUI management has some great news on the horizon and I look forward to PR's and news from the meeting.
Ditto that.
Great post! One question... have you flipped it?
You are correct Doog... testing our resolve is all it is. I too anticipate some great news over the coming weeks, and after the long winter wait it will be that much sweeter. I'm just kind of cold out here on the ledge (I'm back out again- but this time I brought a lawn chair), and I want the Boomshakalaka PR soon so I can watch basketball again.
I don't have a year with the amount I have into this one. I've been patient, let's see some action! Give us some more big contracts! I don't see this as greedy or impatient, au contraire, I feel that 6 months is pretty darn calm in pennyland. I'll keep many of these shares for a long, long time, but right this minute would be a great time to see it pop! lol
I only disagree with you on one point, that if you bought in higher than it is then you didn't do your due. I am still in this stock for the same reasons I was at .115 or .095 or even .073. Did you know the pps would do this? I, and many others did not and are not afraid to say so. The company (Manny) made some pretty positive claims, that are all coming true, but it is taking longer than they, or we thought, that's all. That being said, I am still in it (too deep) and am waiting for the promised stream of PR's to continue, albeit with the hope that the boomshakalaka announcement is tomorrow or sooner. lol
Repeated posts? I think we understand your perspective sir. TOS?
That does presume they are psychic, and it also unfortunately would mean they "knew" something was going on when they walked it down over the last X number of sessions. Nah, I don't buy that theory. That's like "all the bashers are out in force, something must be up". It's totally counterintuitive to me, however... I hope you're right! lol
I have more than 1/9 of what they have combined.
Pro move Beck! I'm starting on the White wine vinegar. Last post... I'm done but lurking, so take your best shots at the defenseless folks. Somewhere there is a village looking for their idiot, and only I know where he is.
:::Peck:::
Hahaha, that's the best line of the film... you're still killin' me. The oil cans. "He hates oil"... or "die you random SOB"! Great stupidity from way back when.
Listen Wick, I don't think we have time for your accusatory directionless comments regarding Da Silva right now. I know we are yuckin' it up here in this newsletter vacuum, but Sid's broken my heart and she stepped on my foot dancing, Beckins is making me cough up lung tissue, and I'm almost out of posts. Just take a night off, enjoy the ringside seats while I get my a$$ beat, and hope for some doom and gloom tomorrow, ok? Just remember that outside every silver lining is a black cloud. There's your happy thought for the night.
Sincerity was a big mistake. I need to start drinkin', fast.
:::Doc bows deeply and kisses the lady's hand::::
I shall never offend thee again my dear, and I promise to keep my humer too a minimummm az fer az Stevie goez. I hate me sometimes... I know, back to my ledge. Sheeeeit... did it agin.
... at least it's my very own ledge.
I feel like Steve Martin in the Jerk... "I don't need anyone, or anything... except this paddle-game, maybe this chair... and the ashtray..." Beckins, you are damm funny tonight doooood. "Thanks for coming out this evening, I'll be here 'till thursday, don't forget to tip your waitresses and bartenders. Try the veal"
Why did she move out?
You're killin' me... I'm sitting here laughing out loud, my dog is wondering wassup and gettin' all crazy cuz of it. You win! I'm dyin' here. Funny stuff, jerk. lol
You are a funny and sick man Beckins! Good one. Hate you. lol
Fallacy ad hominem Sid. I have always appreciated your posts my queen, you have been waaaaay more important to this board than I have... it is you who are attacking my, uh, legitimate criticism of Senor Spelling Bee. Let's not argue which hurts shareprice more... my imminently ignorable posts or Steve's fab spelling? I am quite sure I'll win on that one. How about the cyber-crab cakes and a cappucino? What does it take to get back in good graces? Fine, Everest it is. lol.
Maybe I don't understand what these boards are for. I harbor this apparently naive and idealistic perspective that we post what we really think, rather than to use this medium as an advertisement or newswire. I have never lied, misrepresented, backed down from a negative poster, nor pumped this stock for my own benefit. I don't post 50-100 garbage monosyllabic drivels per day... au contraire mon petite ami... I average probably 5 or 6 verbose, over-written, frequently ignored posts per day like a former English/journalism major should. OMG... lo siento mi amiga!
Every single post I have put up I truly believed in what I was saying (unless it was for humor), knowing full well that at times the ne'er-do-wells may use some of them against us. C'est la vie! I like to call it being true to myself and genuine. There are a lot of disingenuous posters here, pumps, wows, and gee whizzes, but they get a pass at that insane frequency per day and I am "beating a dead horse" at 1% of 1% of that frequency? C'mon now, I deserve the break... not Steve. Grazie! Can I buy you a cyber Sangria and a digital burrito and we can call it even?
Thank you Beckins... I was only shopping for a snicker at best. I don't think my post is going to negatively affect the pps tomorrow. Just my luck, the only babe on the board and I've gotten under her skin. Ok, back to the ledge.
Everybody beats a dead horse here... c'mon Sid. I hate it when you're mad at me. I'm sorry. I did actually only mean it as mirth, and you must admit that every single bit of info. and Big Blue Wave, To Da..., Pos. En., etc. and every piece of great news is posted over and over and over and over. What I am asking for is not difficult or unreasonable. But, I tell ya... if he does it again, I'll point it out. There's only one way for this phenomenology to stop and it's his serve, my volley from the baseline. It's an aspect of reciprocity. Quod Erat Demonstrandum. QED!!!
I've repeated it maybe 7 or 8 times. He's done it 7 or 8 times. Quid pro quo... that's all my dear. I note that you have a much higher tolerance for "to da moon" etc... at least my thoughts are constructive criticism and not just rah, rah, eh? Humor.
Positive energy is the only thing allowed to live here!
Thank you for catching it. I've resorted to innuendo and inference now on that subject. Dare I say... nuance?
Cumulative effect sir. That's what will make this run. As we compound our strong and credible news with more and more contract announcements, buyers flood the volume and erase the mm games and flipper effect. That's how.
I'm just a hopin' fer a bit o' prophetianilism init! Kan't imajin enythin' better'n a grate peace a nuze en a gud phormatt at thiz pernt.
No worries mate, it gave me an opportunity to review good things about AQUI! Maybe it was the B&B that gave it a little sugar-buzz edginess. Looking forward to tonight's well-written EDS newsletter.

Don't get me wrong Lab... I think they have waaaay more than $500 mil. that will be realized. I really do. I think that the Shanghai trade show went very well, and also that there is an Olympic something that will happen. These announcements will launch this company in a way that will become the stuff of pinkie legend. Seriously.
I also think the process is incredibly slow given the reputation of most centralized governments (read: communist). All the big approvals for most things that we would handle locally, must come from Beijing, and they're just a little busy right now (read: Tibet oh, and the Olympics). It's gotta be like pushing molasses up a steep hill of sand in July... I just don't have that much time, so I, and probably others, have been frustrated by the pace as a result of silly fumbles compounding the already eroding waiting game. I believe the diminished share price and volume proves that assertion. It also means that this baby is on sale (at 1/3 of its high)!! It hurts me, but it's great for those getting in now.
The good news is that AQUI is making absolutely no mistakes in critical decisions... rather, they are doing all the right things to build a long-term successful company. There have been many, many months of DD that have eventually substantiated every single claim the company has made thus far. If this was some fly-by-night play, it would have been exposed months ago, given the number of negative posters on all boards. You simply cannot be the #1 board, over and over again, for this long without undergoing some serious scrutiny! AQUI has passed the test of credibility, but it has yet to generate the optimism the stock deserves. It is severely undervalued in the investment community, and there are only a few key ways to cure that- period, which I have stated perhaps too many times. Leigh, will you live with me now? lol
Hey Wally, as I stated earlier... I've come in off the ledge per AQUI's last PR, regardless of how the price behaved... if I didn't have a boatload o' shares, I probably wouldn't worry about it. As I've said many times I, and probably many others, have heavily overweighted portfolios with AQUI, and that does skew one's perspective on both time-frame and magnitude. I'm bleeding big red right now. I'll own a bunch of these shares for a long, long time, but some will have to go within weeks and I want to keep as many as I can, don't we all? Exactly.
You said you got in at about .02... maybe you'd feel differently if you got in at multiple levels averaged to about .105 and needed the funds soon. Oh, and by the way... there's also some sarcasm and humor in my posts that you may have overlooked sir. It's a metaphorical ledge.
I've never, ever doubted the big picture for AQUI, but I have been frustrated by: some simple filing fumbles on our part, a lack of professionalism that could be easily cured by spellcheck, a much-needed investor relations program to spread the word to new investors and increase trading volume, and some more big contract numbers to propel this gem to a price it deserves. I'll stand by all those thoughts.
Don't jump. I didn't, and I can just about guarantee that I have more reasons to than you do. Ok, I admit it... my dog talked me in off the ledge. GLTA, GA!!! TDM!!! JMHFOBWTFDIK?
My comment is a bit more expansive than just referring to today's pps behavior, Blue. I'm saying that we need greater exposure... period, so that sheer volume can overwhelm the flippers and mm's. I can't imagine anyone would disagree that more investors is a good thing. The news is awesome, and it speaks much more loudly to me than today's anomalous market vicissitudes.
We're getting flipped and manipulated. We need new investors or we will continue displaying this phenomenology for a while longer. At a certain point (the Kaboom PR), the volume overwhelms the MM's and flippers. We need IR (in the form of investor relations like a dog and pony show), both here and in China, to go with our forthcoming PR's.
I love this PR!!! I've come in off the ledge and can only say Weeeeeee... I don't care what the pps does right now, this is another confirmation of the company's plan!
Don't get me wrong Lab... I think they have waaaay more than $500 mil. that will be realized. I really do.

We need investor awareness ergo volume! That alone will cure all ills. We've actually got enough good news to have moved this by now... I'd personally like to see the contract PR, but more investors will work for me.
Now that's too funny. Ok, I've joined the Weeeeeee club. Can someone give me pointers? I want the t-shirt, the key fob, the snow dome, place mats, hat, arm patch, salt and pepper shakers, the ash tray, and even a velvet Elvis. Hook me up with all the Weeeeee club merchandise you can find. I'm all in.
That's pretty funny! I'm not this vitriolic or irascible, or even curmudgeonly in real life my dear... so, you should really reconsider living with me. I never knew why you left anyway.
Thanks Doog... I'm glad you're back. I'm gonna pour myself some happy juice and see what happens then. I'm still out here standing on the ledge and my dog is watching me through the window making faces at me like I'm an idiot.
Excellent post sir!! It reinforces the very reasons I'm risking too much in this stock. I love almost every damn thing about this company except the share price, and I truly feel that the only way I'll get anywhere near my av. price is with a contract PR. I've been patient... it's their turn to release some of the Shaghai numbers, or the $500 mil., or acquisitions, or more distributors... hey, I'm runnin' out of time.
