That's what it says in the original email :) I was just about to point that out, too.
E-mail from Eric about the morning PR
Hello Mr. XXXX,
Thank you for your suggestion about HGTV Green Home. Yes, HGTV has many good touch points for Winning Brands products. A few of the positive aspects of beginning with Color Splash include its sponsorship by Home Depot for possible future tie-ins, “affordable” (in the sense that the word can be used for any form of TV advertising), flexibility for schedule changes, specific focus to painting (and thereby to the clean-ups that ensue), and other factors.
We approach things gradually to learn while the stakes are low and will evaluate how to optimize our connection to HGTV over time. Your feedback is a part of that process, so the time you have taken to share it is appreciated!
Sincerely,
Eric Lehner, CEO
Winning Brands Corporation

Portion of my e-mail to him
Congratulations to the company on this morning's PR about penetrating the NYC market via HGTV. Was there any discussion about advertising during the program titled "HGTV Green Home 2008"? It seems as though it is the number one show, and perhaps more importantly, the number one show people are interested in buying featured products from:
http://marketplace.hgtv.com/
And I can't help but imagine KIND sitting atop the washing machine in this HGTV Green Home 2008 marketplace link:
http://marketplace.hgtv.com/promo/green_home_2008
Perhaps there is a requirement for their featured products to have a third party green certification? I won't bother you anymore because I have little doubt you have, or are in the process of, exploring all possibilities. HGTV was a perfect move, in my opinion. I don't expect a response but would certainly welcome one at your convenience.
""""
How awesome would KIND look on that washer in the "laundry" picture?
Could this be the next show it airs during, "HGTV's Green Home 2008"?
http://marketplace.hgtv.com/promo/green_home_2008
Perhaps a little product placement as well?
The commercials will begin on Sunday, April 6th and introduce New Yorkers to Winning Colours Stain Remover's retail partners there as a regular feature of the Sunday broadcast, initially. The launch partner for this flight is New York City's well-known Benjamin Moore banner, Janovic Paint & Decorating Centers.
"Initially"? "THIS flight"? Sounds like there's more to come from this PR, as well as all those previous teasers we've received...
What are people waiting for (besides financials, uplisting, etc), we're in NYC, one of the financial hubs of the world. People are underestimating this news, IMO. Buffalo is one thing - Long Island, MANHATTAN, WALL STREET is another. Fasten your seat belts.
""""""""""""""""
Commencement of Winning Brands' TV advertising in New York City is a significant development for the company as Winning Colours Stain Remover develops the reputation of becoming a favourite amongst consumers who discover it. "Winning Brands is proud to partner with the renowned Benjamin Moore banner in New York to introduce Winning Colours Stain Remover to the city," says Lorne Kelly, Snr. VP of Winning Brands. "It's a big step toward becoming North America's favourite stain removing product -- these fine stores would not carry Winning Colours Stain Remover if it wasn't a terrific product. New Yorkers and their contractors will find a ton of uses for it," he concludes.
""""""""""""""""
Sorry, don't have time to looks this up right now, is this a new retailer or had it been previously announced?
Great read for those invested in Green companies:

Seventh Generation is mentioned in reference to their growth (STILL 40% year over year). It's just a matter of time until WNBD follows in their footsteps (or lack thereof, in Carbon terms)
ibox updated with letter
Yes, 2/24.. thanks HR.
You're right the letter is much more informative than much of what the previous moderator had in the Ibox... I'll see what I can do, thanks.
REPOST - E-mail from Eric about reporting:
Letter from Eric about reporting, start from bottom:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX,
Thank you for your kind thoughts – and for the opportunity of answering your question. The transition from Non-Reporting Issuer to Reporting Issuer has an intermediate step of Non-Reporting Issuer with Voluntary Disclosure. It is possible that this will be our progression. I have been careful not to provide specific dates for these possible transitions because it is in the company’s culture to do what it says it will do. Until there is certainty about that issue, we consider it more honest to leave this in the category of under review.
The relative merits of being a reporting issuer can be discussed at great length because the costs and constraints which follow from reporting status are not necessarily matched by improved access to capital.
My assessment is that Winning Brands must solidify the business foundation on which it is standing with more concrete and statistically projectable revenue sources that would satisfy the more conservative investment dealerships so that if such a transition from one state to another takes place the continuing access to capital is already planned and determined in advance according to the new status.
If in the interim we file voluntary disclosure documents then we also need to ensure that it is something that will be done without inadvertently forfeiting our Non-Reporting status.
Please do rest assured the subject is under active discussion in the company.
Thank you for your interest in Winning Brands Corporation and for being part of the shareholding family.
Sincerely,
Eric Lehner, CEO

Do you remember where you read this? Any chance you can dig it up for the Ibox?
Thanks, I'd like to photoshop in a WNBD bandana on the monkey. It's a work in progress.
We need to come back out of the wood work. The longs are here, but where is the PPS? The shorts are running out of time, IMO.
A company with a potential treatment for almost every infectious disease including HIV... and it removes the exosomes created by cancer tumors as well. Market cap of 17.1M.... undervalued, anyone?
"HIV patients have a limited number of drug regimens to manage their conditions and eventually they become resistant to all the drugs, and are left without options.
The hemopurifier could change that by removing the virus from the blood.
"This is a methodology to remove those mutant strains so they can stay on their drugs for extended periods of time," says Jim Joyce, of Aethlon Medical, developer of the hemopurifier.
The hemopurifier is a single-use disposable cartridge that hooks up to existing dialysis machines.
Blood enters the cartridge, travels through hollow spaghetti-looking fibers where viruses and toxins are selectively captured by small pores on the fibers' walls.
Blood circulates through the cartridge every eight minutes for about four hours.
According to Joyce, "The goal of treatment is to bridge the natural immune response to give your own response additional time to mount its own abilities to recover from infection."
Researchers believe it could benefit millions of patients with HIV, Hepatitis C and potentially cancer.
The device could also be used with a portable pump to survive bio-weapons like Ebola and smallpox or viruses like the bird flu.
"Something that would be effective against more than a single agent is logically the thing to focus our efforts on," says Dr. Charles Bailey, who is the Director of George Mason's Center of Bio defense and Infectious Diseases.
The hemopurifier is not a cure for any disease, but could fill a treatment void for viruses that are drug and vaccine resistant.
Most patients, like dialysis patients, would use the hemopurifier repeatedly.
The device is still being tested, but could be in hospitals in the next two years."
These cartridges are disposable as far as I know... continuous income for the company
Delcath just bought shares valued at a premium of double the current value
Infinite, worldwide market.
Added to the Ibox, thanks... just the beginning for AEMD.
Brace yourselves, there's going to be a lot of red on the big boards today. Let's see how it pans out for the pennies, good luck all.
I hope there's more excitement in the stock than there is in this board this morning...
Many of us are already well on our way.
It's not too late to get back in...
And if there IS news, as in, Wal mart SALES news there's still no reason to buy???

If no news, we will be able to buy back WNBD very cheap before the end of the month :)
Reality check... how many of the companies listed on the top-20 most popular boards here on Ihub are mentioned in the same sentence as WAL MART?
OT: Quiet almost everywhere except for WNBD, still looks good to load up at these levels, .001 seems to be holding nicely.
"Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s Canadian Unit to Carry Popular New Product"
Should have seen it coming?

And HD is specifically pledges to carry enviro-friendly products...
Congrats to all, and to the company! Excellent work by the management team.

Wal-Mart Canada was founded in March of 1994 with the acquisition of the Woolco division of Woolworth Canada Inc. A total of 122 Woolco stores were converted in less than eight months to the Wal-Mart format.
Today, the Wal-Mart Canada Home Office is located in Mississauga, Ontario, with over 278 locations employing more than 70,000 Canadians. Petitions continue to come in from across Canada asking that Wal-Mart stores be built in their towns. Wal-Mart Canada will continue to open new stores and make changes to better serve its customers.
Each Wal-Mart store across Canada offers top quality merchandise and services. Every store houses close to 80,000 different products. Merchandise includes apparel, home fashions, household goods, toys, hardware, paint, wallpaper, automotive accessories, electronics, sporting goods, furniture, horticulture, cosmetics, jewellery, and convenient food items.

For more information on Wal-Mart Canada, please check our news releases on Canada Newswire. (Once on the Canada Newswire site, please scroll down the page to see news releases.)
Anyone know how many Wal Mart stores are in CA?
No volume through half the trading day doesn't make any sense.
No volume? Is Scottrade just not showing it?
BxA UT.. affirmation that we found the bottom/no shakeout this AM so far. News on it's way sooner than we think?
OT: It wasn't a "stupid" statement, it was a question. I respect both of them, and respect their TA and subsequent moves and didn't ask my question out of any of kind of sarcasm or disrespect. I'm learning TA and how to flip and really was genuinely curious. Don't know why I need to back up a question? I generally respect your TA and oppinions, too, by the way, but you were the one that was being offensive, IMO. Sorry to all as I can't reply via PM yet, but I will be buying a subscription soon.
What do you think about ADTJ?
Are they trying to get people to sell at 18 to mirror?
19 x 19?
Hey Rocket, do you know what the nature of the news is? New contacts, sales? New line of revenue, etc..?
