Thanks TAC. I think there will be more announced and hopefully firm dates that the product will be available.
My guess......There have been additional retail outlets secured and will be added to the rollout in early December. I am hoping for a convenience store retailer to be added and a pharmacy as well. I would expect additional PR's in the next 10-14 days. Things are gonna heat up......alot.
Thanks Cheech. Much appreciated. I have a Dicks on the property I manage as well. I will keep in contact with the Manager here and find out when they have shipment ordered. Happy Investing!!!!
I'm headed to VEGAS today, so I'll check back in on Tuesday or Wednesday whenever I get back. Hopefully we'll have some good news by then.
It would take more than GOD!!! LOL. That being said, I hope cpet is right!!!!
I wannna play, I wanna Play......I think it will be around $180,000. Very tough to predict, because I am not positive on the accounting practices of DROP. I am guessing billed amounts will count in the billed quarters sales and not necessary revenues received. That being the assumption, I am estimating that approximately 18,000 units were either internet purchased or were shipped to GNC stores. If those were sold at $10 per unit, then the $180,000. Really difficult to predict the initial sales quarter to any company as the "rules" are not completely known until the quarter is announced and those practices are layed out. Thanks Shore!!! Fun Game. I sure hope BGrass plays!!!! :)
Great news Rick!!! Please provide day by day reports on what you think of the results and how you took the product. I know everyone else will be interested as well. Your opinions will be greatly watched on this board. Thanks for letting us know!!!!!
mdub, let's take a vote :) Just Kidding. Have a great weekend all. I need a break. GO FUSE and GO HAWKS!!!!
HSmith, I think the C-Stores are probably the ultimate goal. My guess is Dicks is just the first of several announcements over the next 3-6 weeks, so the 500 locations will not be the only distribution site come December. Mission is probably working on the agreements with their other channels and those will be announced as they are executed. Those announcements should be keep the PR momentum up to the point of actual dates that those sites sell product.
York, Yeah, I'm not saying those energy products are good or bad for your health, but personally my heart beats out of my chest when take the energy type drinks. I will be even more positive regarding the FUSE products if they give me a pick me up and don't send me over the top!!!! I don't think the FDS will ever take those energy products off the shelves, but the publicity will definitely affect their popularity. Just maybe, the Fuse products will sneak in and provide a "more natural" alternative to those Caffeine based products. That would definitely be a good sales/product feature.
TAC, I hope not for your and my sake. Prohibition all over again!!!!
Might be room for one more real soon should 5 hour get caught up in an FDA review. Not saying it is warranted, but it seems like the caffeine related products may get caught up in some public opinion issues that could derail their popularity. Monster and 5 Hour are on alert right now.
Bays is exactly correct. The views of a TRADER compared to an INVESTOR are completely different. Ultimately, the investor will generally do better. Jumping in and out is very difficult to predict the timing.
Spiders, keep in mind that the first two quarters of the year were all internet sales of the enerjel product. The most recent quarter will include the GNC distribution #'s and brick and mortar sales locations. The expectation is that the most recent quarters sales will FAR exceed the previous quarters. Just making sure you are taking that into account. Happy Investing!!!
Shore....Perhaps. I am hoping for a much larger story that will live on through my children and their children!!!!
For now, in a snap shot picture of today, you are 100% correct. No arguements there. I'm in it for a little over $.20 and when the product goes to market I am very confident the P/S is going to far exceed my average entry point. So, to avoid further speculation and arguement, hang around for a few more months and we'll have this conversation again. I am certain that you will have cost him several thousand by then and even more if you look out over the next several years. It took Monster Beverage around 5-6 years if I remember right to get to the point of market entry. Once it got Market entry and the advertsing got going, it went to where it is today. I think everyone who bought and held that stock for the 4-6 years it took to get established, are very, very, very happy today. Look further down the road when you invest and I am sure you have greater success. Again, not saying you are not an experienced investor, just saying that you are possibly a little short sighted. If day to day movements in a stock price make you post crazy things on a message board, then you can be assured that you are definitely "short sighted".
Bays....it sounds like there is some interest/skin in the game from our investing friend. He has advised and told his buddy to get out of the stock and so his buddy sold his shares. Somebody might have a little explaining to do when DROP goes to market with all of the products and puts on the full court press with it's marketing and revenues/product awareness start to grow. I would hate to be in his shoes when his buddy see's that the company that he was advised to get out of just reported some huge quarter. His buddy is gonna be very, very upset.
Agree. Been in this investment game prior to it being "cool" and DROP has none of the features of a scam. I think it is unfortunate that some of the posters on the board portray themselves in a knowledgable way, yet actually are not factual in their postings. They give opinion as fact and that is not a positive for the investors who are actually here to get additional information and share things that they know.
Wexahu, let me ask you a question and I am not looking for an argument I just really want to know. When I find a stock I really like, I research the stock and either invest or I move on to finding another potential investment. The stocks that I do not like, I don't follow daily, but rather I follow the stocks that I have puchased or have interest in purchasing and research and read the news that pertains only to what I actually have money invested in or potentially want to take a stake in. Which gets me to my question, if you do not like this stock and think it is a going nowhere company and don't have any confidence in it's leadership, therefore no interest in ever investing, then why post on that stocks message board daily? I don't understand what motive you would have to do that. Can you explaine? Thanks.
GJ, not trying to insinuate you are an amature at this. Just saying, they have already avoided the O/S issue as the products are inches from market. I don't think they need the assistance of VC's at this point. I believe they have managed the business end of this start up fairly well. (Very few loans dollars, maintained a managable O/S number, products tested and proven to work, a marketing direction that looks to be ready to go and is pretty solid, and a distribution chain that reportedly is very, very strong). I don't see that further investment dollars are going to be greatly needed. Maybe a few more shares issued will be, or already has been, enough to the products through manufacturing and delivered to market is about all I see as potential costs. I just don't see the need for the VC's or a great deal more shares to be issued. That's all I am really saying. Happy Investing!!!
Shore, I love hearing these testimonials. I got one :). 3-4 years ago I bought General Growth Properties (GGP) when they went into bankruptcy following the real estate crash that sent banks into a tail spin. The banks called GGP on their loans as they matured to their properties of which GGP did not have the capital on hand to pay the banks back. The company was cash flowing strongly etc.., but could not refinance the loans and also could not pay the banks the balance on the loans. I knew the courts would not break the company up as it was a simple financing issue and not a management issue or profitability issue. Long story short, I ended up buying 12,000 shares at an average of around $.93. Today it trades at over $19. I still own the 12,000 shares plus the shares from dividends that I reinvested. I wish I would have bought 50,000 shares during that period, but I doubted my knowledge and foresight in what would/could happen and listened too much to the naysayers at the time. That is my story. By the way, I have 230,000 shares of DROP and I will NOT be selling.....yet.
The share offerings are used to create initial capital to get products to market. The products are going to hit market in the next few months. At that time, there will no reason to issue more shares, so 1 Billion shares is not a part of this equation. Shares are issued to create revenue for companies and once the products at market can create the revenue needed, new shares are no longer needed. DROP has products, marketing, research, distribution chains, etc.....already created. It is just dotting the i's and crossing the t's at this point. The announcements will come soon and they will be in succession that will be very exciting. Just relax and have some fun with this.
Bays, quit using facts to back your posts....some of these people don't worry about actually facts. :) 200 M shares is a drop in the bucket if a company can get products to market that people buy. Please everyone....make a mental note that the shares are not an issue at this point. If you want to argue company procedures, that's fine, but they have done an amazing job of managing the dollars up to this point. When the drops hit the market, the revenue stream will easily support the PPS in elevating. Just relax, grab some popcorn, play with kids, go to a movie and then check the stock in about 3 months. I believe you will be very satisfied that you avoided all of your worries.
UPDATE TO THE INTERVIEW? Please provide a commnetary on how the interview is going and the content. Thanks.
be patient a little longer. Use the time to get a few more shares on the way up or when there's a pull back. The product will be on shelves soon and the advertisements and athlete testimonials will be in full swing. Then, you will be rewarded for your patience, your ability to filter information and your for your time you've invested in following the companies progress.
I have to tell you, I have been doing this for a long time and it always amazes me how people jump out at unbelievably odd times. Tell me you are being sarcastic. I watch CNBC every day for at least 2 hours per day. This is exactly the venue that FUSE needs to go on to get the investment community on board. The investors that they will be speaking to directly know in depth about Monster, 5 Hour energy, and many others that they either hit or missed on over the past 3-4 years. Many of those investors will be researching this company through the weekend and will make decisions on Monday on whether they think it has better than good chance to succeed. I would be shocked if the close on Monday doesn't exceed the close today. Good investors know that you need to show patience. Jumping in and out almost always shows less returns then staying to the course. Nobody can guess the ups and downs accurately and therefore it's not a good strategy. You either believe in FUSE's direction or you think they are robbing us. There is no in between. Pick one.
Shore....what's your gut feeling on this? I see you as a pretty objective investor while I've been following this stock over the past 10 months or so on this board. I don't know if I have been involved in a stock quite like this ever. I really truly feel that I am in on the ground floor of a stock that has the potential to become the next hot product in the sports arena along the lines of Monster, 5 hour, gatorade, etc....along with the potential unbelievable upside in pharma. I know there's many doubters on this board because Fuse refuses to post updates every day or week, but I don't think they really need to. To me those daily or weekly posts by the management team scream weakness and the company is quickly approaching a stage of strength and do not feel it necessary to worry about the smaller investors staying on board anymore. That's my gut feeling on all of this worry of day to day updates and self imposed due dates people are screaming for. What's your view? I've always felt strongly regarding the stock, but I definitely feel even more LONG on the stock as the last few months have played out.
Karen, somebody on here may owe you an apology very soon...... We'll see shortly.
Thanks Karen. I appreciate the explanation. I have been very patient regarding FUSE and am confident in the steady positive information provided by the company. Lack of press releases and conference calls really doesn't affect my opinion of the company. If you take the events that have happened over the past 12 months (especially the past 2 months) and put them together in a timeline, it really does present the direction of the company and I think anyone who is unobjective can see what is happening. Negative people on this board are not really investors. I've seen these people before and they add nothing of value to us who are actually trying to make informed decisions and predict the future. Please keep us informed on anything that you believe you can release. Obviously, we need to work together to help everyone acheive the ultimate rewards.
TAC, I am with you on the loan of $250,000. There is alot of back ground that I do not know that, I am sure, is being required prior the $250K loan. I look at this as a positive thing. That being said, I would loan them around $50K evidently :).
Karen,
If you really know something that is important to the future of FUSE, then please share. There are many of us who follow this board religiously and do not participate in the daily ramblings of the doubters who deserve the good news so we can make decisions on additional purchases of shares. Please post the positive information for the sake of the "GOOD GUYS/GALS". Thanks.
That same person will most likely purchase those shares back yet today at a lower price. It's called channeling the stock and it can be a very good principle as long as your targeted stock stays in a tight range for an extended period. I am guessing there are a poster or two on this board who are working with that principle. They will go away once the stock gets footing and begins to go one direction or the other for any sort of extended period.
I would expect something tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Somethings cookin'......and smells good!!!! GO FUSE.
Something tells me that some information got out somehow and that today is the start of a run on the stock. I've been doing this for 20 years and generally when buying happens with no news release, there is someone somewhere who has the information prior to it hitting the wire. Just a guess, tho. We'll see soon.
Your too kind!!! Tulip Time is the big event there every spring. Big Dutch Community. That is pretty much it.
Yawn.
Yawn.
Central College in Pella Iowa....Home of the Flying Dutchman!!! LOL.
Shore...we think alike. I actually majored in business with a minor in Political Science. LOL.
Wish I would have ordered the samples. Dang it!!!!
UHD....so you got all of that in the mail as the sample? Also, were there directions on the use? Let us know how the product does after your run and if you can tell any difference. OK, what I'm looking for here is details. Great Post. Thanks again.
