It's comical to see folks sold BRWC to chase other Pumps & Dumps and lost their shirts and then came back here tried to become "smart" financial advisers.
Seems like you got flushed out as well.
Exactly. Shares are now in stronger hands. We have been building higher base everyday.
How many stocks can you hold long and sleep well at night? The answer is rare. I haven't lost sleep holding BRWC long.
I can take unchanged over lost any day.
Unlike some of the "smart" investors who claimed TSOI was a "good" stock yesterday and lost their shirts today, I haven't lost anything by holding BRWC long.
What has happened to your TSOI? It was good yesterday. What happened today?
Those days were long gone. Don't kid yourself and you and everyone here already knew it.
You're late again.
He posts the same things day in and day out for the last few months with nothing to back them up.
The asks are fake. Once the bids on the 9s grow, the asks will disappear quick.
Remove your asks folks. Attract more buyers once we clear the trips.
Those who sold out at 7s the last few days are feeling the pressure now.
Move up your bids, then the asks will fall quickly.
Move your bids up folks.
Build the bids, smack the asks.
I hope he will still be here posting the same questions day in and day out when we trade over a penny.
Folks...don't be "penny wise, pound foolish". Remove your sell orders on the asks. You can make more money by letting her run to attract new buyers.
Debt free and float locked up can move up easily like that.
decomad,
We can move her up to the .002s today if we want to by removing the sell orders on the ask. We're now in control of our destiny. Stand united and we will win.
Looks like all the inpatients have sold out. Now is the time for all of the longs to stand united to push this higher. We can do this by removing sell orders on the ask and providing support on the bids. The float is locked up and us longs are now in control of our destiny.
Bottled Water Is A Potential Growth Category That Can’t Be Ignored
June 26th, 2015 by Trefis Team
While major soft drink companies continue to battle declining carbonated soft drink (CSD) sales, another segment continues to grow volume sales, and is now expected to overtake CSDs as the most consumed beverage worldwide this year. This beverage is none other than packaged water. According to the Canadean, consumption of packaged water will reach 233 billion liters in 2015, more than the intake of CSDs, which is estimated to be around 227 billion liters. [1] The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO), PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP), and Dr Pepper Snapple (NYSE:DPS) have struggled to ramp up volumes in the ailing carbonated category in the U.S., which declined for the tenth consecutive year in 2014. Seeing how bottled water remains a high growth category, these companies might look to strengthen their water lineup and launch new products in this category to boost beverage sales going forward.
While growth in the bottled water category is expected to continue outpacing growth in the CSD category in the next few years, most of this growth will come from emerging markets such as China, India, and Mexico–where clean tap water is not as easily available. In contrast, developed markets might not contribute much to the global bottled water growth. Packaged water in Germany, Italy, France, and Spain is forecast to grow at a CAGR of merely 1% between 2015-2020. However, an exception to this is the U.S., which remains the fastest growing bottled water market outside Asia, mainly as customers have grown more health conscious and look to trade-in their sugary soft drinks with healthier and more natural drinks–which bodes well for water. This is a trend that these large soft drink multinationals can’t ignore.
beverage volume sales in the U.S.
While trademark carbonated drinks Coke, Pepsi, and Dr Pepper all saw volume declines last year in the U.S., major water brands kept growing, as seen in the table below.
growth in volumes 2014
According to Beverage Digest, Nestlé Waters passed Dr Pepper as the third largest player in the U.S. liquid refreshment beverage market behind Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, increasing volumes by 9.1%, compared to a de-growth of 0.1% for Dr Pepper, mainly as the overall bottled water category continues to grow strongly. For Coca-Cola, while sparkling beverage volumes declined 1% in North America last year, packaged water grew 8%, and this category continued solid growth in Q1. The company’s water brand Dasani sells approximately 16% of the net volumes sold by the drink Coke in the U.S. On the other hand, PepsiCo’s North America beverage volume declined 1% in Q1, primarily on a 2% decline in CSD volumes, while the bottled water category grew by a mid-single-digit percentage. The company’s leading water brand Aquafina sells less than one-fourth the net volumes sold by Pepsi in the U.S.
Coca-Cola’s still water brands Dasani, Glaceau Vitaminwater, and Glaceau Smartwater had combined sales of roughly $2 billion last year, and PepsiCo’s Aquafina had sales of $0.86 billion, with both companies holding market shares of 21.4% and 9.2%, respectively, in the still water category (the largest bottled water category) in the U.S. However, the leader in this market is Nestlé Waters with a share of ~24% owing to successful brands such as Nestlé Pure Life, Poland Spring, Deer Park, and Ozarka.
Although water is a volume product and is growing at a fast pace, why the leading soft drink companies haven’t looked to aggressively expand into the bottled water category, is because this is a relatively low margin business. According to an analyst at Berenberg, the packaged water business has operating profit margins of approximately 10% at Nestle, compared to the group’s average of 15%, making water dilutive to the overall margins. [2] However, innovations in this category such as value-added water, added minerals and carbonation, and premium brand perception, has allowed some brands such as Glaceau Smartwater to rake-in higher revenues due to a greater average revenue-per-unit.
….Sparkling Water Is Growing At A Fast Pace And Could Be Accretive To Profits
The still water category is 7.5x the sparkling water category in terms of volumes, but the latter is one of the fastest growing beverage categories in the U.S., and presents huge growth opportunities for manufacturers, especially as customers continue to look for replacements to the calorie-fueled CSDs. Sparkling water also contains added flavors and sugars, but carries a relatively positive perception, which is why the sparkling category grew by 32% in 2013, and 22% in 2012. While bulk or jug still water is sold in large bottles holding 1 to 2.5 gallons and is relatively cheaper, sparkling water is considered premium and sold at a higher price per gallon, compared to both still and bulk water. This is why sparkling bottled water has heftier margins compared to the other segments, and could be a potential growth driver for beverage companies.
Unlike the mature CSD market which is dominated by two or three big companies, small individual brands have a stronghold in the carbonated water segment. Sparkling ICE owned by Talking Rain is the largest individual brand in carbonated water with ~27% of the overall sales in FY2014. LaCroix, Topo Chico, and Cascade Ice water are other brands which together constitute ~11% of this market. In addition to strengthening their portfolio, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Dr Pepper might also consider acquiring any of these established small companies to further their reach in the sparkling bottled water market. The CSD giants also face a stiff competition from private labels, which account for over one-fifth of this category. Private labels offer relatively cheaper prices and thus appeal to price sensitive consumers.
Water might be a low-margin business compared to CSDs, and other segments such as juices, but at a time when sugar-fueled drinks continue to witness declining sales, the growth potential in bottled water can’t be ignored. In addition, penetrating the sparkling water category, or introducing premium products, might also help protect the profitability of these companies.

Being Convertible Debt Free is the most important thing in the OTC. 99% of the other companies can't claim that.
Wegmans are the high-end supermarkets in the Northeast.
Wrong as always.
1) Show me another company that doesn't have Net Loss and that is trading less than a penny, not just triple 0.
2) That $229k hole will be filled with profits starting next quarter since almost $100k of those were interest expenses.
The #1 investors' fear in the OTC is dilution via toxic financing. This has killed 99% of the companies in the OTC. I have seen many companies that used to have Market Cap from almost $300M (three hundred million dollars) last year tanked to almost nothing (zero) now. Here's an example: Look at the 2y chart on this:
http://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/USOTC/VPOR/stock-price
For BRWC to get rid of toxic financing is an amazing feat in itself. Not many companies can claim this:
"Boreal Water Collection recently took a major step toward strengthening its balance sheet when it announced the retirement of all outstanding convertible notes held by financing companies. Since October 2014, the company has not entered into any new convertible promissory note agreements, and its management team is confident that it can continue adequately funding operations and expansion without the use of this unpredictable form of financing in the future."
A clear road map of what to come next.
The shares in the FLOAT are from the toxic financiers and they already sold into the market starting from late last year. If you look back the trading volume from the last couple of months, you will see it. That's why if you look at Level 2, you aren't seeing any dilution MMs on the ask. L2 screen has been clear of them since the last 2, 3 weeks.
Since last year up on to June 19, 2015, BRWC issued a total of 2.1B shares for convertibles. Out of those 2.1B shares, 1.4B went to toxic financiers which already sold into the market, hence the Float. The remaining 700M shares went to the CEO as restricted.
Here's the link to the 8K:

Doesn't matter how you spin it, it doesn't change the fact that BRWC has only one share class and that's common share. The insiders hold 70% of the shares, therefore it's in their best interest to bring the value up so the shares would worth something.
Don't speak for me. I never lost trust in BRWC's CEO. In fact, I'm more confident about my investment here than before.
Why didn't post the the whole thing about the failed takeover attempt? Here it is for your convenience.
Note 12 – Litigation
A “Summons with Notice” (but not a Complaint), naming BRWC, Mrs. Lavoie and Mr. Cortellazi, who was a Canadian citizen trying to buy controlling interest in the Company during 2011, as defendants, was filed on March 14, 2012 in the Sullivan County, New York Supreme Court (and later served on BRWC and Mrs. Lavoie) by counsel for plaintiffs (the proposed CEO and former Boreal employee, who were brought into the negotiations by Mr. Cortellazi, to assist him in his effort to buy controlling interest of the Company from Mrs. Lavoie). The index number of the court filing is 2012-676. The Company and Mrs. Lavoie have retained counsel.
A Complaint was served, seeking damages totaling $53,600 plus $15,000 in attorney’s fees, alleging violations of Article 11 of New York’s General Obligations Law. Defendants BRWC and Mrs. Lavoie filed an Answer and Counterclaims, dated September 24, 2012. Counterclaims were filed against Cortellazi, who admitted his role in the scheme, and others for fraud, defamation and slander, and damages, including punitive damages and attorney’s fees (See statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for reference to 3.0 million shares not previously recognized).
In October 2013, the parties to this action reached a settlement in the amount of $30,000, which provided that the Company would make monthly cash payments of $1,000 per month over a 30 month period of time and also reissue three million shares in exchange for the same shares in Gambino’s possession.
The Company may be defendant in various suits and claims that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these other suits and claims will have no material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
Wrong. BRWC has only share class and that's common share. I would encourage you to at least do some research before posting.
Agreed. This company as real and legit as it gets. The PR gives us a clear direction of where it's going in the near future instead of many speculations made up from some posters.
Agreed. These are the great road maps showing of what to come next in the near term.
All the ducks are lined up for next week.
Once the 6 bids move up to 7s, the 8s asks will fall quick.
Talk about thin for a trip zero stock.
7s gone. 8s up.
